- Was that not one of the ugliest Super Bowls in recent memory? The game may not have been a blowout, but it may as well have been. The two teams combined to turn the ball over 6 times, were penalized 18 others, the quarterbacks completed 31 of 64 pass attempts (48.4%) and averaged just 4.7 yards per pass attempt, and the winning team gained fewer than 200 yards total offense (194 to be exact). Yeah, with a game like that, I think we can rest assured Peyton Manning wasn't on HGH during its proceedings...
- I have nothing against Coldplay and like a few of their songs, but was surprised by the announcement they'd be the centerpiece of this year's halftime show. They're not known for the fun, upbeat, dance-worthy music that's typically played during the Super Bowl halftime show. What I found to be even more surprising was when I heard that Beyonce and Bruno Mars would be accompanying Coldplay on stage during their performance. The three of them all have good songs on their own, and while just Beyonce and Bruno Mars could have mixed well and provided an entertaining halftime show, Coldplay kind of felt like the odd person out, which was especially strange considering the fact they were the so-called headliner. Combining Coldplay with dance/r&b/soul music would have been like combining Whitney Houston with Limp Bizkit, Metallica with Adele, or Donald Trump with common sense; it just doesn't work.
- While I liked a couple commercials, the Prius one in particular, what in the world was up with that Mountain Dew Kickstart commercial featuring the "puppy monkey baby"? Did the writers seriously think, "So, what's cute? Puppies are cute; people love them. Monkies are cute too. Everyone loves babies; I mean, just look at Facebook. Whoa! What if we combined all three for our commercial?!? Puppy monkey baby! It's genius, I tell you, fricking genius!" No, not exactly. What'll Mountain Dew come up with next? Kitty emu preschooler? Gerbil t-rex adolescent? Guinea pig humpback whale young adult? Hopefully they don't read this and take my ridiculous suggestions seriously...
- The three biggest highlights from the Super Bowl (for me)? 1) Lady Gaga singing the National Anthem, 2) the extended Prius commercial, and 3) the after-show with Stephen Colbert. Yes, the game was THAT good. Hopefully exotic animal expert Will Ferrell will enlighten us on puppy monkey babies during his next showing on The Late Show.
