Super Bowl recap

Well, I said I would have put money on the Steelers, right? This game can't be sitting well in Seattle. The officiating was poor on some pretty critical plays and almost always in favor of Pittsburgh. It's not so much that it provided a 'stolen' victory or anything like that. If anything the teams look pretty even to me. With that said, hats off to the Steelers.
Commercials? Worst class of Super Bowl ads in my memory. The only one that stood out for me was the one for 'Posiden!'. Mostly because I can't believe they're remaking the movie. Especially after the amazingly bad made for TV effort a few months back. Maybe I'm being too hard on it. It does have Matthew Mcconaughy's acting to save it. (Cough.)
As I said last year, networks and advertisers learned the wrong lesson from Janet Jackson. The results have become bland and boring. It's ok to be sexy, just not pornish. This really isn't a tough thing to figure out. Girl in swimsuit, good. Girl in wet t-shirt contest, inappropriate for prime time TV. And bring back funny! Please!
Maybe next year will be better. (Eleven days until pitchers and catchers report.)

I too thought the commercials were lacking. I had did have two that I liked. Fed Ex cave man, and the killing the fly as the family walked in "Well, that killed him". Where were Coke and Doritos this year?
