Last year's GoDaddy commercials were awesome, in a naked-woman sort of way. :D

It's common fact that if you are younger you will enjoy sweets more than sours. It's why you don't like mustard either. As you grow your taste buds change, and the taste of beer, mustard, onions, and naked women become more appealing. :D

Thankfully, I missed them all and the game too. Football is not my forté.

I pretty sure in "soccer" you don't have to bear-hug a big sweaty man in order to play.

Well, no, I was referring to that thing you guys watch in that very awesome and great bowl of yours, the SUPER-bowl. Soccer is a word you invented to hide the embarassement after you realised you had gotten the rules of the noble sport of football very, very wrong :oex:

Actualy they confused it with Rugby! And they couldn't call it that either coz they got those rules wrong also. I think Columbus started that trend by naming the natives Indians.

Not the best of starts, for sure :D

Anyway, back on topic... mm, not going to purposefully watch commercials, I'll just take Scar's word that some of them were quite amusing\well made ;)

I watched the Superbowl for the first time ever, I think. I'd rather play football than watch it, though I never have *really* played it...stupid no-contact gym class...

Anyways, I thought some commercials were good...the fly one, and the "crime deterrent" cell phone one were real funny, and the Budweiser one with the little clydesdale was really cute.

8| You think?

Actually I thought the game was pretty weak. Not to mention that the Seahawks got screwed on a few calls. Poor Seahawks.

Oh well, serves them right for knocking my team out of the playoffs. :mad:

I'm sure it's a lovely sport. Just not my kind.

The only commercial I liked was the FedEx one with the dinosaurs. And the game pretty much sucked too. The Steelers generally played poorly and only won because all the horrible calls went their way. Normally the bad calls tend to even out, but not this time. On the other hand, they had a couple of brilliant plays -- the long run and the reverse pass. The Seahawks could still have won if their receivers had not dropped so many ball. All in all, a disappointing day. The highlight for once, was the halftime. Those geezers can still rock.

(And pardon me for saying so, but foreign football (soccer) is a crushing bore. Most of the time there's nothing really happening and there's hardly any scoring. The only part I find entertaining is the headers. And that kick-around thing in case of a tie is just plain dumb. Imagine if they settled ties in basketball with a freethrow shooting contest. If you want to make the game interesting, you ought to release some rabid wolverines onto the field.)
Before you criticize someone, first walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you'll be a mile away. And you'll have their shoes.

All sports are an aquired taste, they're all dreadfully boring really :)

I mean, some people get excited by watching tennis, and snooker. I'd just fall asleep watching that, or start think about food or women :D But I'm sure, for those who are interested and know the finer points of it, it's as exciting as a dancing toaster :oex:

They've been playing for hours at that point, they're quite tired and seeing as it's still a draw playing on with deadtired players would be an even sorrier affair than the game that lead to the draw :-D
