Super Bowl Commercials Overrated
I don’t understand all the hype surrounding the commercials during the Super Bowl. I know it costs advertisers about $6 million just for 30 seconds of air time, but the commercials never seem to be worth anywhere near that amount.
I would take the Pro Bowl commercials over the Super Bowl commercials any day. During the Pro Bowl commercials, I get to hear David Spade say "No" to every customer…see Lebron James sporting an afro…watch some Jeremy guy shed another 50 pounds from walking to and from Subway…and of course witness Shaq endorsing the Icy Hot patch.
So for all of you that huddled around the television just to see what they would show on this year’s Go Daddy.com ad, I hope you weren’t too disappointed. Irregardless, I feel it is my obligation to tell you that if you are seeking some real entertainment, then go buy a sandwich from Subway… using your Capital One card… and wash it down with some Sprite… and don’t forget to put on your Icy Hot patch… this Sunday as you relax while watching the Pro Bowl commercials!

Steelers are Super Bowl Champions
The Pittsburgh Steelers completed their miraculous run and capped it off with a Super Bowl championship. As a sixth seed in the AFC, the Steelers beat the Cincinnati Bengals, Indianapolis Colts, and the Denver Broncos all on the road. Tonight, they defeated the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl, 21-10. Pittsburgh was able to win seven straight games to close the year. Before the winning streak, they appeared to be a team that was on the brink of missing the playoffs. The Steelers now join the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys as the only franchises to win five Super Bowls. So you can love them or hate them, either way; the Pittsburgh Steelers are still the Super Bowl champs!
Some special notes…Hines Ward was named the Super Bowl MVP and Jerome Bettis all but announced his retirement stating that Detroit is the last stop for the Bus.
Troy Aikman Completes a Pass to the Hall of Fame; Michael Irvin Held Without a Reception
It was a good day for the Dallas Cowboys franchise as they had two former players; Troy Aikman and Rayfield Wright get elected into the Hall of Fame. Michael Irvin will have to wait for at least another year to be elected into "the hall" as his name was not called today.
