Super Bowl XLIV

<p>It was awful. Indescribably awful. I flipped over to Animal Planet; there were kittens playing in confetti for the half time show of the Puppy Bowl. Much better.</p>

<p>The ads just haven’t been that funny. Tebow ad wasn’t even controversial. And what’s with the ad theme of men as pathetic? I did love the Dodge Charger ad, though.</p>

<p>MidwestMom - awww, too bad I missed the kitties! But I got a head start on the dinner during the (lame) half-time show.</p>

<p>What was the big brawl all about?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>The little lab puppy did a somersault tackle on the pug puppy. </p>

<p>Or did you mean the other game?</p>

<p>Yes - I meant the other game! :slight_smile: I just returned to the sofa after adding more stuff to the soup and saw a huge pile of football players on the screen.</p>

<p>BB - Onside kick by the Saints.</p>

<p>Are you kidding?</p>

<p>The Who was FREAKING AWESOME!!!</p>

<p>Poor Roger Daltrey has been deaf for years. They should change the name of the band to “The What???”. </p>

<p>The music was good - the vocals were sad. However, I went on youtube to see videos of “The Who” I remembered and there was a 1979 one - Daltrey couldn’t sing live then either.</p>

<p>MidwestSon_ just got home and said he enjoyed Pete Townshend on guitar. Seriously.</p>

<p>cartera - it was a good thing I finished my wine, otherwise I would be studying the “Products that work” thread for wine stain removal remedies! “The What” - LOL!</p>

<p>I couldn’t watch more than 30 seconds of The Who. It was embarrassing. Can they get someone under 60 next time?</p>

<p>The Who for me brings back memories of my college days. I thought it was great that these older guys are still rocking it out. Yes they are sounding a little different but cant anyone cut the some slack. Actually I’m kind a sick and tired of hearing the same old thing from these younger artists.We are saturated with them. It was actually a nice change of pace appealing to the baby boomers rather than the teens and younger audiences as it always seems to be the case.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>True story. My D is a singer and I am constantly nagging her about protecting her hearing. I told her that Roger Daltrey lost his hearing from being around loud music. She said “Who?” I said “yes, The Who.” She says “What?” “Never mind.”</p>

<p>WHO DAT?! Yay!</p>

<p>saiiiiints!</p>

<p>Sorry y’all missed a good game by watching the cruddy ads!</p>

<p>Saints 31-17!!!</p>

<p>Wow, Greenery, I’m impressed with the list you made. My son said he was going to watch the commercials on youtube. I might check some out myself. </p>

<p>Now, how much money did they make from those commercials?</p>

<p>Loved watching Drew Brees w/his lil son. Dad was all teary. How cute! </p>

<p>I wish he had the chance to take my SD Chargers to the Super Bowl though…</p>
