Oh yeah, the Super Bowl

I planned on watching the Super Bowl simply for the commercials. I had no love for either team, and I must admit to some dislike for both. While I wanted the Giants to beat the evil Patriots, I wasn't happy about rooting for them. As the game progressed, however, I slowly became more and more invested in the game. And it turned into one of the best of all time. During the entire fourth quarter, I simply sat in front of the tv saying "Oh my God. Oh my God! OH MY GOD!" Amazing. Looking back, here are my top 5 Super Bowls:

1. Tennessee vs. St. Louis (I'm too lazy to look up numbers). The Tackle. This game is living proof that in sports, yes, one yard does matter, yes one inch does matter, yes one step does matter, yes fundamentals do matter, yes one second matters, yes you play the game for four quarters. If you ever need to feel excited about something, find Jeff Fisher's fourth quarter speech to the Titans. It will send chill's down your spine as your watch the comeback.

2. New York vs. New England. The Catch II? Is that what we are calling Eli's un freaking believable scramble and the catch against the helmet? Eli, welcome to greatness. As an aside, I will say that Brady has a small arsenal stored off his right shoulder. When he threw that Hail Mary to Moss, he rolled out to the right side, threw it 75 yards IN THE AIR ACROSS THE FIELD. That's like 100 yards straight up. And that's like, the length of the field. He can't wear long sleeves, it's carrying a concealed weapon. Dude's got guns.

3. New York vs. Buffalo. How much of an impact did this Super Bowl have? Find someone from Buffalo. Say Scott Norwood. Watch them cry.

4. Denver vs. Green Bay. Elway's scramble in the fourth where he got helicoptered around. That game was a great back and forth between two great QBs. Every play was fantastic to watch. And I love the difficult decision at the end. Do you let Denver score the TD to give yourself enough time to get the ball back? Or do you fight and claw to stop them?

5. I guess New York vs. Baltimore. Without the guarantee, this game is not as great. I wasn't even alive. But I can't think of another one. Maybe San Fran v. Cincinatti. Yeah, that's better. My favorite QB of all time. Screw Joe Namath.

I thought the commercials were average. My top 5:

1. Stewie and Underdog fighting over the Coke.

2. The Doritos with the big mouse.

3. The Pepsi commercial with Night at the Roxbury music.

4. Charles Barkley and Dwayne Wade.

5. JT and Pepsi.

The worst:

1. The Doritos one with the singer.

2. Bud's clydesdale.

3. the effing talking baby ones. i hate crap like that. why do people love those?

4. Go Daddy. Yes Danica Patrick is hot, but that commerical was so lame.

5. The geckos and the vitamin water and Thriller. Just stupid.
