Super Bowl Commercials
Every year that I watch the Super Bowl I am always amazed at how many people care about the commercials. Why anyone would care about commercials bogles my mind. Don’t people use DVRs to fast forward the damn things? Who cares if they are new, or maybe funny. They are just trying to push products.
Another thing I don’t get is why so many big companies waste money on Super Bowl commercials. I have heard of Coke and budweiser before. Spending millions on a Super Bowl ad isn’t going to get me to by your product anymore. Unless you were a newish company, or launching a new product, why waste the money? I guess the advertising works for a lot of people. It doesn’t work for me though.
Actually advertising probably has a greater chance at turning me away from your product then onto it. 1 and 1 hosting is one company that I wont use because of obnoxiously large ads in computer magazine I read. Godaddy is another one. I am in the process of transferring all my domains away from them. They have stupid sexist commercials, and try to up-sell you on every purchase. Two things I can’t stand.
Then there was the whole Tim Tebow controversy. Honestly, if I never would have read about it I wouldn’t have even known. I wouldn’t even have known what it was about if they didn’t put up their website at the end. To me if anything, it was a pro-choice ad. His Mom had a choice and was glad she made the right one for herself. Big fricken deal. Focus on the Family must be rolling in the dough if they can afford a Super Bowl ad that doesn’t really push their agenda at all.
I really didn’t see too many of the commercials though. It was a great game and commercial time was peeing, and reading Twitter time for me.

Super Bowl
So I was all ready to make some Super Bowl junk food, veg out, and watch the game. I woke up this morning feeling like crap. I wasn’t in the mood for any junk food. I still vegged out and watched the game though.
I watched the game and during commercials I checked out what people were saying on Twitter. I don’t understand the people that actually want to watch the Commercials. The only commercials that I watched were the 3D ones, and honestly, I couldn’t tell you what they were for. I was just watching them for the 3D effects since we picked up some of the glasses the other day at the grocery store. I don’t know if 3D works for my brain. I could barley see the difference. I might check those commercials out again online.
One thing that was driving me nuts on Twitter were all the people complaining about the Super Bowl. People saying they didn’t know it was today, or saying they never heard of the Super Bowl, or that it was a bad game. Come on, it was a great game. Those people were getting on my nerves. I totally understand that a lot of people hate football. Good for you. Don’t watch the game. You don’t hear me complaining how crappy American Idol is. I have never really noticed that kind of thing happening during other events on Twitter. Maybe it’s just because the Super Bowl is so big. Maybe I should start complaining during the next major event that I don’t care about on Twitter. Nah, not worth my time.
So, it was a great game that came right down to the end. I didn’t really care who won. I just enjoyed the game.
Now football season is done for another year. I am missing it already.

Super Bowl Sunday
So tomorrow is the Super Bowl. For some it’s just another crappy football game, while others will watch it just for the commercials. Me, I love the game. I am a huge NFL fan. I watch every game possible. Super Bowl Sunday is a pretty big deal for me. I have only missed one Super Bowl since 1983, and I pretty much remember all of them. I was scheduled to work tomorrow, but took it off to watch the game.
I have only been to one Super Bowl Party in my life, and it sucked. Everybody getting drunk, and making a bunch of noise. It was hard to watch the game. A lot of people just use the Super Bowl as an excuse to party. I still make the usual Super Bowl Party foods, but I like to enjoy the game by myself. For me the Super Bowl reminds me of my childhood.
I remember getting all excited for the Super Bowl in elementary school. I was so excited when my favorite team, the Denver Broncos made it there in 1986, 1987, and 1989. I was crushed at the results of those games. It made their Super Bowl wins in 1997, and 1998 that much bigger.
There is so much history in the Super Bowl. Many great games, many crappy games, but all historic. I love reading and watch shows about the history of the NFL. That’s one reason why I like the Super Bowl so much. It’s history being made.
Even when I don’t care much about the teams that are playing, I enjoy watching the game. It’s every kids dream to play in the Super Bowl. Those big kids out there are just living their dream.
