Loved, loved, loved the game. I felt bad for Manning for throwing the pick, but he threw it, and that’s life. What a wonderful win for the Saints. I thought Peyton’s gutsy calls were very exciting and a great thing for the game.

As for the ads, I agree with the comments regarding the advertisers’ perception of their audience. There are more and more women football fans, and the ads seem to be saying, “we don’t want you girls, go back to heating up the chicken fingers for your men folk”. A bit surprising. I mentioned this to my H after the first ad, and he said “Oh you’re too sensitive.” The second such ad came along, and he said “gee, maybe you have a point here.” Then the third sexist ad, and he said “wow. What’s with these people.”
