Having just put J down for a nap, I'll be noting my thoughts on the Bowl as it happens.
First of all, Jordin Sparks is NERVOUS. Wow. Just get the songs started, and it will all flow from there...OK, she's done. She did well.
Tedy Bruschi needs a stylist.
I think there should be a quota on Super Bowl rings (and this is from a Patriots fan). Tom Brady has three?!?! And a possible fourth today?
First major section of ads, precipitated by an onfield injury. Fire-breathing ad for Bud was the dumbness I would expect. The Audi ad tried too hard and just ended up being tasteless.
I enjoy saying "Plaxico." It sounds like a DuPont polymer. Plaxico. Plaxico.
Giants end zone toss intercepted. But they answer back with a field goal.
OK, the Diet Pepsi Max ad wins so far. I'm sure "Wake up, people!" originated in some dismal marketing meeting at Pepsi, and it just rolled from there.
Brady not too impressive yet.
Bridgestone promised a big payoff with a screaming squirrel, but left us hanging.
Touchdown New England. The kick is good! Score 7 - 3.
Man, GoDaddy just doesn't even CARE. I kind of like that.
Dell guy = schmo.
Wow, Chris Tallman was just in a cool Cars.com ad. Yay for ComedySportz.
My TALKING STAIN?!?!?! But...it's funnier in retrospect. Okay, #2 ad so far.
Interception by New England. That just got them out of trouble...
Hey, Hank made the Budweiser Clydesdale team! That's nice for him. #3.
Giants botch the handoff. Yikes.
Hang on. Nursing break. While I'm gone, discuss the dancing "Thriller" geckos.
7 - 3 at halftime? Zzzzzz...
None of these commercials seems to make sense. And, today at least, I can't blame lack of sleep.
Tom Petty and his beard are on stage. He opens with "American Girl," no surprise there. "Won't Back Down" is a little too mellow-sweet for my taste. This is a song we used to yell at each other on the farm crew when the bales got too heavy.
"Free-falling." As my husband notes, this would have been a really hot show about 20 years ago. Everyone is so...calm. But I have to say Tom Petty seems to find the whole thing hilarious, so I imagine he's in on the joke.
Ah yes, "Runnin' Down a Dream." And....we're out.
