I went into the Super Bowl season not really certain about watching it. I really can't stand the Giants or the Patriots. But continuing with tradition I decided to watch the game. The game itself was probably one of the best NFL games I have watched in a long time. The crowd was actually into the game. Usually the crowd is very ho-hum but you could actually feel energy at a nuetral site game. I am glad Tom Brady lost. But the main thing I want to talk about is Eli Manning. All of the sports "experts" were talking about his poise and big play ability and blah, blah, blah. I looked at Eli on that last drive and thought "this is Peyton's dumb brother". He really looked like he had no clue out there. He made big plays but if you looked at him, he had the deer in headlights look in his eyes. I was completly shocked when he threw the touchdown. I kept thinking, he come a foolish interception throwing into triple coverage, etc.
The commericials for the Super Bowl were completly lame. With teams you did not care about you would think that at least we have commericals to look forward to. Again we struck out. I can't really think of a good commerical during the game. Usually beer commericials come up clutch but they were even bad.
Tom Petty rocks!! Better in concert but I would rather see him than Prince, Aerosmith, or almost anyone else any day of the week.
