The Giants?!

So, I went to Buffalo Wild Wings for Super Bowl Sunday and was pretty excited for both the game and of course the commercials. As it turns out, this Super Bowl had higher ratings than ever before with 97.5 million viewers. At first I wasn't exactly sure who us Green Bay fans would be cheering for...the Patriots out of spite or the Giants so they would feel better about the Giant's defeat over the Packers. 

One of the 2.7 million dollar commercial spots was a Pepsi max commercial that was spoofing the movie "A Night at the Roxbury". It showed people- normal and famous- nodding their heads as they fell asleep while they were out in public. And to tell you the truth, this is kind of what the bar looked like when I looked around- people weren't even paying attention! By the end of the second quarter people realized the game was going nowhere fast.

But then came the fourth quarter...and things were much more exciting. The Patriots were over confident and the Giants were determined, and you could tell. Even though the Giant's ruined an otherwise perfect season for New England, I have to say that I think this was the better outcome. And it turns out everyone was cheering for the Giants. 

As far as the commercials go, I was a little disappointed. The only two I found myself actually laughing at were a Fed Ex commercial that had huge carrier pigeons delivering people their packages and destroying the city in the process, and a Doritos commercial where a gigantic mouse attacks a man trying to lure it with a Dorito. The Budweiser commercials were disappointing to say the least. 

All in all it was a good night with an exciting ending- even if it couldn't be the Pack.
