But that's okay, it's good for our local economy, etc, etc.

4. I think the quality of the Super Bowl ads has declined steeply in the past 5 years.

But it will be about the only thing I will watch it for.

14. I Hear You

Somewhere along the line, they stopped making ads designed to appeal to office / company decision-making, and increasingly appealed to personal decision-making, and emphasizing the machismo element.

The outrageous cost of buying the time is probably a factor as well, with agencies less likely to take risks.

Fed-Ex announced they won't be advertising during the SB this year.

7. I'm looking forward to it for my friend Beth's chili, and that's all.

I will barely be looking at the stupid screen.

8. Couldn't care less about the ads.

They're rarely funny, and a a whole they're a letdown every year.

As for the game, after the Seattle-Pittsburgh SB's officiating and the NFL's insistence that the game was called properly from start to finish, I couldn't care less about the SB, either. Fantasy season is over long before the SB, and the only pro football team in North America I have a passion for is the Montreal Alouettes anyway.

15. The winning team won't be satisfied; they'd rather hear back from God.

After all, the winning team likes to think God was helping them win and all...

The super bowl played in Green Bay, Chicago, Boston, New York or Denver, in the cold, ice and snow.

19. Super Bowl commercials have gone downhill since the "Dot-Com" Super Bowl of 2000.

Who remembers Pets.Com? :rofl:
