Super Bowl XLII

With the World watch the 18-0 Patriots and the underdog Giants battle out who will be this World Champions, I tuned in as well. I didn't care which team won, but was rooting for the Giants mostly because they were the underdogs. I probably would have supported the Patriots if it wasn't for the video taping scandal that happened early in the year and how New England handled themselves after it. It would have been nice to for someone to finally shut up the 72 Dolphins. But we'd probably have to hear about it from the 07 Pat's for the 25+ years how they had the perfect seasons and had to play more games then the 72 Dolphins. Although it was hard to root for Eli "Crying" Manning. But I have to hand it to him. He played one hell of a game and it came down to the wire. The best play was the pass from Eli Manning to David Tyree with about a minute left in the game. Eli some how manages to escape getting sacked and just throws up a Hail Maryesk pass and Tyree manages to pull it in, in a miraculous catch.



Even though Eli was awarded the MVP trophy I think it was the Giants Defense that deserved the award. They Sacked Tom Brady, another QB I don't like, 5 times, hurried and/or knocked him down a dozen or more times and forced a fumble. They keep the #1 Ranked Offense scrambling. They never let the Pats get into a rhythm. That allowed the Giants to stay in the game and up set the favored Patriots 17-14.

But the main reason I watch the Super Bowl was the Commercials. The Super Bowl has well know history of airing some of the best commercials. The last few years I have been disappointed, and was hoping for some good commercials again. Most were alright, some just sucked, which is ashame because of how much money they spend on them. Se here are my top 3 Super Bowl XLII Commercials.

#3 Pepsi Max Nod Ad
Watch for Chris Kattan at the end of the commercial. If it wasn't for him I doubt it would of made it on the list. Although Night at the Roxbury is not one of SNL's best movies made from a 2 min sketch. It is one of my favorite movies because there are jokes in there that I feel the writers put in there just for me.


#2Cars.com Glondor
Both Cars.com commercials where good but this one I though was better.
