1. Sports broadcasters sound like kids in the back of the car when they're trying to cover an unexpected 34 minute break. "Are the lights back on yet?" "No." "How long?" "10 mins." "How long now?" "Still 10 mins." "Do we have any word about how long it will be?" "OH. MY. GOD. STOP TALKING."
2. Speaking of professional broadcasters, they can apparently go on about "the lights going out in the Super Dome" for *hours* and somehow miss the Katrina connection.
3. CBS is America's most watched network: America, you've got a lot of explaining to do.
4. The product you're advertising need have no relation to the content of your commercial. Longevity and Taco Bell. Extra gross sexism and domain name providers. Boobs and everything.
5. ::: grumble, grumble ::: Good game, Ravens.
6. My daughter now thinks "Wow?! That's still a show?!" is football talk along the lines of "3rd and goal" or "Flag on the play."
What did you learn? Share your wisdom and epiphanies!
I learned that the lights turning out can completely change the momentum of a game.
ReplyDeleteI also learned that Superbowl commercials should no longer be expected to be good.
You are so right about the momentum change. When the lights turned on the Niners showed back up. And I'm with you on the commercials.
DeleteThe Go Daddy commercial was the worst. The. Worst. I think I have post-traumatic stress disorder from seeing it more than once.
ReplyDeleteYes. Horrifying. I wish it were possible to un-see things.
DeleteI learned the reason football is the #1 sport aired on CBS is because the only other sport they air is golf.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Stands to reason.
DeleteI learned that hating football may have saved me from being subjected to all the things on your list (no, I didn't watch), but I also had no idea what anyone was talking about on Twitter all night. Not sure if I won or lost
ReplyDeleteI'd say call it a win especially if you don't like watching football!
DeleteHated those commercials, ugh! And you KNOW how BUMMED I was that they lost. I love your number one the best though ;)
ReplyDeleteI was bummed too. The niners were thisclose to pulling it out at the end of the game, but alas. ::: sobs :::
DeleteOne of the broadcasters actually reported that the players were bewildered by the power outage. Really? Bewildered? They've never seen the lights go out? That's more than bewildering. That's downright mind blowing.
ReplyDeleteI now have a mental picture of football players aimlessly wandering around in the dark going, "OH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED?! I'M BLIIIINDDDDD! NOOOOOO!"
