OK, not a bad game. Not too boring, but not REAL exciting, and, in the end, closer than I thought it would be.
Didn't want the Pats, though. Being from Chicago, I think I have issues regarding teams and "dynasties", since - other than the Bulls for 6 seasons - we have never experienced that in our sports teams.
Commercials:

First off, the NFL Network was supposed to run all of the commercials back-to-back right after the game, and let's just say they really screwed that up. I'll have to get my TiVo to catch that tomorrow.
Anheuser-Busch still takes the cake for best commercials (hell, they buy enough of them). Liked the skydiving one and even liked the animals coming to audition for the Clydesdales. Thought the troops coming home was nice but a little heavy handed (notice the uniforms had no identification on them at all, not even fake names?)
Really liked the Brad Pitt Heineken one. Liked the Ameriquest robbery one (oh and the cat and the spaghetti sauce one, too). Like the CareerBuilder monkey ads. There are times in my career that I've felt like that.
I use GoDaddy.com and I'm not sure I liked the ad (although it's the only one that poked fun at the "dumbing-down" of the advertising this year due to wardrobe malfunctions).
I'm not getting the whole Lincoln Fry McDonald's campaign.

Oh.
My,
God.
Animal Planet is running their "counter programming" this afternoon - The Puppy Bowl.
Imagine 3 hours of puppies in a pen that's shaped like a stadium. That's it. No commentary, just music. Just puppies.
(If you really, really, really want to see what I'm talking about, here's a nice segment that I captured for you in DIVX AVI. It's 52Mb, but it's 640x480)
Oh dear Lord, they have "fouls", too. (VIDEO)
