Best Superbowl Ad

Posted by AzBlueMeanie:

My team was not playing in the Superbowl once again this year, so I was not emotionally invested in either team. Despite a close game I thought the game was a little boring, at least until late in the fourth quarter.

Congratulations to Eli Manning and the New York Giants. Giants fans will be insufferable at least until next September.

Madonna is always worth the price of admission, she knows how to put on a show and she delivered with her Cecil B. DeMille cast of thousands Hollywood extravaganza halftime show.

But what about the battle of the Superbowl ads? No contest. Best Superbowl ad goes to Clint Eastwood and Chrysler for its "imported from Detroit" ad, "It's Halftime in America" (below the fold. The NFL is pulling down YouTube posts of this ad for copyright, so catch it while you can). I stood up and cheered. Well done, sir.

And for true sports fans, "pitchers and catchers report" (the four sweetest words in the English language) on February 17 for the Oakland A's and Seattle Mariners, and February 19 for all other teams. Full squads report on February 24.
