So the first half of the Superbowl I was sitting there thinking "Thank God for the commercials, otherwise, this Superbowl would be unbearable."
The second half, I was thinking, "Thank God for the football, because these commercials suck." (Speaking of the football, what was up with Carolina's decision to run with the ball at the end with 4 seconds left on the clock? I'm not the greatest football authority, but shouldn't they have signaled a fair catch and let Delhomme throw a Hail Mary from the shotgun? Put 5 receivers out there and try for 6! I'm still trying to puzzle that one out)
Seriously, there was very little marketing sizzle this time. I mean, there have been some fantastic commercials, and the Simpson's Mastercard Commercial was cool, but really? The ads were nothing to write home about. Or even send a postcard, or a text message. Which is a shame because I'm such a whore for good advertising.
Speaking of good advertising, after listening to so much Wu-Tang Clan and NaS lately, I finally went and bought a pair of Timberlands. I really needed some new shoes for work, since my Vans are all but destroyed, and I found a cool brown pair that were on sale for $79.00 and I went for it. I don't think I would have bought them though if I hadn't heard Timberlands mentioned so many times in all of the songs I've been listening to.
Next week, maybe I'll purchase an Escalade and show off my bling bling.
Well...probably not...
I love my Timberlands! I've had the same pair since freshman year of college. My dad came shopping with my mom and me and picked them out. Okay, so I am sentimentally attached to a pair of boots because my dad liked them. I have gotten the most use out of them this year due to all the snow and ice we've had. I am longing for warm weather...
I'm pretty sure you can't fair catch a kickoff, only punts. And even so, if he called for a fair catch on say the 10, I think that a ninety yard heave from Delhomme is probably asking a little too much from a human. Maybe one of those football launching cannons that Rich Eisen uses in the NFL Network commercials could send it that far!
You know what I always wondered? Towards the second half of the Super Bowl they always sneak in one or two local ads in towards the end. How much do those suckers cost?
