Super Bowl XLV synopsis

Well, let's start with the news. Jerry Jones sold more tickets than he had seats. Good job Jerry. He did refund 3 times the cost, but as one guy said, that didn't even cover the travel expenses. Good job Jerry. Instead, these people stood outside the stadium and watched it on a big TV. That's just as good as being there, right?

This was followed up by Christina Augulera (sp?) messing up the words to our national song, traditionally sung before all major sporting event. She repeated one part and skipped another. Most people are saying she should be exiled to Canada. That works for me, even before she sung it.

Then there was commercials. I like the Doritos commercials (especially the one with the pug), the Ozzi/Bieber one, and the Vader commercial. Eminem did two commercials, the first one called "This is why I don't do commercials." LAME. HomeAway had a hilarious commerical with a hotel room simulator and baby being launched in a glass wall. We cheered, but people said this encouraged violence against children. I agree with their executive who said, "Are you saying the Betty White commercials led to an increase of old women being tackled in parks?"

Oh yeah, and there was a football game. Go Packers! I am so sick of Steelers fans in my area shooting their mouths off. So I was rooting for the Packers. Sorry Jim, I just was. Anyway, the Packers Defense forced 3 turnovers, which was the main impact of this game. Other than that, and the Steelers handily win this game. But Big Ben threw 2 TDs. I just have to say that every time I hear Big Ben, I think of the old SNL Celebrity Jeopardy joke. "I'll take 'the rapists' for 100." "That's therapsists." Aaron Rodgers had fun, as he always looks like he did. There were three GB recievers that could have gotten MVP, one in particular had he not dropped two major passes that hit him in the chest. So instead they had a QB as MVP. I loved that their team made him a chapionship belt in honor of his signature celebration. It is also sad that Driver and Woodson, two of the team's leaders, went out injured, but that's life sometimes.
