I keep thinking of that first Bills one, where Buffalo had the "unstoppable" offense and the Giants just ran the ball, and had 2/3 time of possession. I also have the feeling Peyton may throw two or three INTs. I just can't live in a world where the three teams that let Tim Tebow go can be ultimately successful.

i see a lot of people making stupid pot references, this year, because it is colorado and washington. oh wait, they already are. yeah dude . . . thats a super, bowl.

Rooting for Seattle. I think Denver wins it, though.
The commercials were by and large pretty boring last year. Maybe due for a rebound?

I think Mr. Bates learns to control his anger and grows as a person and doesn't kill Lord Gillingham's valet when he gets confirmation that is who raped his wife.

I could probably name more breweries from each city than I could name players for each team. Both cities have an excellent beer scene.
That said, more Denver beer makes it's way here than Seattle. So i'll pick Denver.
-
Go Seattle.
I enjoyed watching them most of the year...
but if Seattle is going to win Russell Wilson is going to have to make some plays..he's looked pretty bad the past few weeks...

as much as i hate to even think this . . . i really feel that the conformist country we live in, wants the (white) peyton to win over the (thug) sherman.

true..with probably a minority that wants Peyton foiled because we know we'll hear "Peyton is God" forever if he is not..
I guess I would put it this way: If Peyton plays a great great game I don't mind if he wins.. but he's got to earn it..step it up and play well in the big game under pressure... I don't want anything handed to him....
he'll never be joe montana though... NEVER.

This is me. I've never liked the guy, although I'm admittedly biased because of all the crap back in 1997 with Charles Woodson winning "Peyton Manning's Heisman" and the conspiracy to deny Michigan the national championship as revenge from southern coaches.
Peyton is annoying because it's never his fault. Literally, it's never his fault. If his team loses, its because his defense was bad or he didn't have weapons around him (despite all advanced statistic saying he has had defenses equal to Tom Brady's his entire career and much more offensive talent by a large, large margin), but then if his team wins, its all because of Peyton. If his team has a good season, he wins the MVP -- it was all Peyton. If they lose, even if its because of a Peyton INT-fest, it just slides right off him. We all know someone like that in life and its infuriating when people are so Teflon. I think that's why people hated Clinton. (Well, one reason.)
I mean, could you imagine if Tom Brady went out this week and called his kicker a liquored up idiot? We'd crucify him. He'd be public enemy #1. Peyton does it and its hilarious and Peyton is so authentic. People who see no accountability ever annoy me.

Brady would never do that. He would get his wife to do it for him. (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/gisele-blames-tom-bradys-teammates-for-super-bowl-loss-what-do-you-think/)

Actually, you've just made my point for me exactly, ggw. Tom Brady took more heat for "not keeping his woman in check" or whatever antiquated thing you want to say then Peyton got for calling the most accurate kicker in NFL history a liquored-up idiot on national television. That doesn't seem patently unfair?
-
One request...if you like a commercial and think it's worth watching....please post a link to that Ad
I could care less about the game and even the sport.
but do like some good SB ads

Considering that Vanderjagt was admittedly drunk and was publicly calling out Peyton and Dungy, I think it was totally justified. I mean if Gostkowski or Vinatieri went on TV and said shit about Brady and Belichick and the Patriots in general, you know Brady would have torn him a new asshole and all the media would point to Brady and go on and on about what a great leader he was for sticking up for his coach and team and keeping his teammates in line and what fabulous hair he has, yadda, yadda, yadda....

I... don't remember him being drunk. Admittedly, I'm probably wrong on that.

OK, so maybe he didn't admit it, but he did lose the Grey Cup (CFL version of the Lombardi Trophy) in a bar one time.

The first time I saw that....I actually didn't understand it. But upon second viewing, two questions remain:
1.) Will Nicholas Sparks write an adaption between the horse mananger and the fetch blonde puppy adoption chick? Did they hook up 20 seconds after that commerical was over?
2.) Isn't what the Clydesdales were doing to the car a form of "bullying?"

It's more about the Tim Tebow comment. You appear to have an affinity for guys that were great in college but couldn't handle the pros.

Bud Light Commercials might be worst commercials of all time. Didn't like Ellen commercial though I am sure James Ford did. And what is with the Chevy turck commercials. So far so bad.
The best commercial so far was the one for the New Girl with Prince.

Yeah that was Ok and the coke commerical was allright.
Seinfield sure looks old. George looks the same as he did on the show. I guess when you look like you are 55 when you are 25 there isn't much more that you can age.

And the flower pot?s from Pakistan
All the furniture, it says ?Made in Brazil?
Where a woman, she slaved for sure

You know, that?s a lot of money to her
Well, it?s sundown on the union
And what?s made in the U.S.A.
Sure was a good idea
?Til greed got in the way
Well, you know, lots of people complainin? that there is no work
I say, ?Why you say that for
When nothin? you got is U.S.?made??

When he?s got a hungry mouth to feed
Well, it?s sundown on the union

I will say the thriving American craft brewers may have issue with telling people to buy your beer from Germany.
I see the connection to that song and ad. But not a single line is the same. So did he write the new copy? We Will Build Your Car!
-edit-
Finally got the track...and it's dramatically different (other than message)
but he did sound a lot like Leonard Cohen.
-

Actually that commercial sucked. Audi was by far the best.

Well American Craft breweries should make better beer. But I will buy my cars from Germany too.

of course he didn't write the "copy"! he's not an ad man dude!
all I was trying to point out was that the idea behind the commercial is somewhat similar to something he wrote in a song 30 years ago...
I think you missed the point if you think the ad is telling people to buy German beer.
the funny thing is that Chrysler is owned by Fiat

I thought Keidis looked good. Fit for being....50+? Are you talking about Chad Smith? He never was Mr. Muscle boy. If my shirtless bod looks somewhere between Anthony Keidis and David Beckham then I'm winning at life.

My opinions usually run coutner to this board but....
I loved the two Tim Tebow ones (naturally). He's not only a better commercial actor than Peyton Manning but he couldn't have done much worse actually quaterbacking the Broncos too, could he?
And I actually like the Bud Light one. The full version is much better:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKKVQLDYYcw
Maybe I liked it because it seemed like a better version of the movie "The Game."
I got no problem drinking Bud Light. I'm not a beer snob/hipster. My goal for 2014 is to be more like Ian Rappaport (although I think he WAS an actor.) Bonus: For sex, dating, virginity-losing, "If I give this to you, are you up for whatever happens next?" is the best opening line ever. Try to use it at least once a day.
I'll have to watch it again but the "80's called" Radio Shack ad was cute. I'll have to watch that again. Was that really Hogan? And Dee Snider? The owl from "Clash of the Titans!"
Most of the ads I saw before the game so the surprise is ruined. I liked the British Villians Jaguar one.
I also like the arty, imspriational ones: Dylan/Chrysler, Jeep and what was that early one for? Maserati?
I like how a Maserati commercial is about the underdog. The 99%. ::)
Brian
-
Also....Joe Namath's fur.
I would rather have watched Joe Namath's fur do color commentary than Troy Aikman and Joe Buck.
At the party I was at, 5 minutes after the coin toss I said "I bet Joe Namath's fur has his own Twitter account right now." I bet he was drunk. Is there anything more humiliating than mistakenly flipping the coin too early and having the Ref CATCH IT in mid-air??!?! Phil Simms was like..."I don't want to be seen with this guy."

Obviously a Maserati commercial was the greatest civil rights moment in my lifetime. Finally my people have a commercial.

Half way through the third quarter wife convinced me to watch Mama Mia. I don't know what was worse that Super Bowl or listening to Pierce Brosnan sing.

Can we all agree to agree that all celebrities should be rounded up and shot?
A Miami nightclub was a no-go for Halsey this weekend.
Page Six reported that the "Bad At Love" singer was turned away at the door of South Beach hotspot E11even at 4 a.m. on Saturday because there were simply no tables available.
Miami, of course, was chock-full of celebrities over the weekend, as it was the host site of Super Bowl LIV. The Page Six report noted that Marc Anthony went to the nightclub and had to wait to get inside, something celebrities rarely -- if ever -- have to do. He eventually made it onto a table and brought his own cooler filled with Bud Light.
It was an interesting weekend for Halsey. On Saturday night, while performing at a pre-Super Bowl concert, someone in the crowd kept saying G-Eazy's name. Eventually Halsey snapped at the man for continuing to bring up her ex's name.
"If you say G-Eazy one more f***ing time, I will kick you out this building," Halsey can be heard replying in a fan video. "You're not going to disrespect me like that at my own show."
Afterward, she posted a message to her Instagram Story advising women to never let anyone make them "feel crazy or unhinged" for standing up for themselves.
"Don't tolerate disrespect in the name of being 'nice'," she wrote.

Not sure how you missed either product placement, actually.
i didn't miss them, it that they weren't memorable or effective, IMO. the products were secondary to the plot line, jokes, etc. in the case of the doritos ad, the product was brought in at the very end with no relation to the showdown. the GHD ad did a good job of incorporating the product into the story (but even then it was secondary). the problem here is that the visuals were so good, the story so funny, that i was 100% focused on the movie send-up and the jokes. that's what i took away, not that the jeep enabled the jokes. YMMV.

Human garbage.
On his Truth Social account, Trump weighed in with this: “EPIC FAIL: Rihanna gave, without question, the single worst Halftime Show in Super Bowl history.”
Trump’s opinion wasn’t in the majority going by the NFL’s own YouTube account where 729K Thumbs Up are up against hardly any Thumbs Down.

To be fair, I don’t think people seek out YouTube videos of things they dislike to express their displeasure. There are many things I dislike; I have thumbs downed zero of them on YouTube.
Rhianna was fine. No one will remember her performance a week from now.

That Dorito / triangle ad was stupid ridiculous, which was why it was hysterical.
The talking baby ad at the wedding, was priceless.
The one, of many, dog ads, where the brown dog grows old with the girl who goes to college, gets married, has a baby, and then the dog remembers it's life with the girl . . . was magical.

All of the Best Super Bowl Commercials, Ranked (https://consequence.net/2023/02/all-of-the-best-super-bowl-commercials-updating/) by consequence.net
TL:DR - their top 5:
5. e.l.f. Cosmetics Ad with Jennifer Coolidge
4. Doritos’ Ad with Jack Harlow, Elton John, and Missy Elliott
3. Crown Royal’s Ad with Dave Grohl
2. Dunkin’ Donuts Ad with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez
1. Workday’s “Rock Star” Ad with Ozzy Osbourne, Billy Idol, and Joan Jett (and KISS)
-
Kind of amazing that celebrities used to eschew commericials (except for Japan). Totally different now.
-
3. Crown Royal’s Ad with Dave Grohl
This was so good, my fave
was planning on putting in the Canada thread
I did notice when they went through musicians...wasn't a whole lot of metal other than rush
-
wasn't a whole lot of metal other than rush
and is rush even metal? what song of theirs would you consider metal?
like triumph, rush is firmly in the hard rock category, with a healthy side of prog. maybe i'm putting things into too narrow silos, but IMO hard rock isn't the same as metal...
-
Rush is totally prog, not metal. I wouldn't even call them prog-metal.
That said, they're TERRIBLE.
