Super Bowl notes. . .

Best commercial: The three CareerBuilder.com ads with the monkeys. Hits close to home with my job. . .I get those same looks of bewilderment the monkeys get whenever I pitch a story idea.

Worst Commercial: At first I want to say that GoDaddy.com web hosting commerical with the bimbo on C-SPIN in the first half. The ad that actually had to be softened in order to air. Then again, there are countless commericals I don’t remember. So I’d like to announce my new website set to debut next week. . .

Tom Brady: Neither leads a 4th quarter comeback, nor gets Super Bowl MVP. . .23-33 for 200+. Safe to say his career goes downhill from here. I’d also like to point out the Joe Montana comparisons continue to be validated, despite criticism from one of our readers. . .

Pepsi and Anheuser Busch had to have spent over $20 million each on advertising on this night alone. Bud had a few good ones, but Pepsi, any time you have P Diddy and Carson Daly in the same spot. . .To put this in perspective, trying to identify with the youth with these guys would be like starring Pauli Shore and Van Damme in the next buddy flick or announcing you just learned the riff to Stairway five years after Zoso came out.

Paul McCartney: Easily the safest choice for a Super Bowl halftime show, unless those Polyphonic Spree guys had a conflicting gig.

Host city: I’ve been to JAX, not a bad town, received good reviews across the board. Apparently in order to be eligible to host they had to bring in several cruise ships to have enough accomodations for visitors. Next year the Bowl is in Detroit, suffice to say an influx in mace, tasers and Lojack systems should occur.

While in full agreement with you on the monkey ads, the bimbo ad, and the quiet brilliance of Tom Brady, I take exception to putting the P. Spree and McCartney in the same sentence. Paul doesn't perform in a bath robe, has a much smaller band, and makes sense much of the time. (I did miss Nelly this year.)

I'm sure the monkey ad was cute; but it reminded me too much of my daily commute, so I had to switch the channel. For the record, I have always given Brady his props (sub-Montana as they currently are). I'd certainly be happy to have him on my team. One of the reasons Brady wasn't considered for MVP could be because of the lawsuit he filed against Cadillac for using his picture without permission. It would have been fairly uncomfortable for Brady the MVP to be given keys to a new Cadillac as Brady the plaintiff. If Philly knew how to run a 2-minute offense, we'd probably be talking about TO today. Good game, anyway. See you in Detroit! Although with Weis the offense genius gone (to Notre Dame), I doubt if we'll see the Patroits there.
