I’m really happy the Broncos won the Super Bowl. I didn’t believe it was possible, because the post season version of the Panthers was about blowing people out. They scored quickly and often. They used players we’d never heard of and destroyed franchises we’ve heard everything about. Then Cam met Von Miller and everything changed.
Respect to the B-Men for all that effort and hustle. I’m glad the MVP went to a defensive player. If it went to Peyton for his horrible performance it would be a fix beyond what could possibly ever be expected.
I have more to say about the game and the commercials but it works best in the form of…
Some Thoughts:
- Apparently it is more important to trend than to be liked. Apparently the idea of being talked about surpasses the importance of what is being said. The news reports following the big game focused on how much buzz there was about particular ads. They didn’t spend much time thinking about the quality of the ads or what specifically was being said about them. I gotta ask: who writes this stuff?
- Some specific questions: Why is it that the people in the Cox home camera commercial immediately go to the videotape to figure out who knocked over a plant. Just pick it up and move on.
- What is up with all the animal based commercials. The worst one–perhaps ever–was the weirdness of Dog-Monkey-Baby.
- Cam walked out of his post game interview after a reporter basically clowned his brotherhood with teammates, referencing it and then asking him, more or less, how he felt letting them down.
- I’m tired and sick and run down. I don’t like how it feels. I don’t like it at all. I ought to go to bed… yep.
