Super Bowl XLII: First half

We're in the second quarter, and there is the best commercial right there---the Budweiser commercial where the beerwagon dog trains the horse to be one of those selected to pull with the Clydesdales. There's the winner! . . . . .

Worst commercialso far: The CareerBuilder.com ad where the secretary's heart jumps out of her body and walks over to the boss and says, "I quit." Follow your heart indeed. That was awful. . . . . .

How nice to have an NFL game without a penalty flag on every other play! For awhile there I thought the refs had left their flags back at the hotel. Fortunately they threw one just in time on the obvious Giants pass interference call in the end zone that set up the Patriots for their first touchdown. . . . . .

That was a pretty good commercial---Justin Timberlake in the Amazonmp3.com commercial. Sort of funny. And I even knew who he was before they told me! . . . . .

There's the end of the first half. Thankfully they don't count statistics, time of possession or anything else except the score. It's 7-3 Patriots though the Giants defense has played great. Enough of that. . . . . .

I hate Super Bowl halftime shows. I thought Tom Petty was a racecar driver. Oh yeah, maybe that's Kyle Petty. Oh well. I wonder what each of these people get paid to go out on the field at halftime to bob up and down and shake around to a rocker's music. . . . . .
