I actually watched the Super Bowl yesterday. It was the first game I watched all year. I tried to watch the championship game against the Rams, but we don't have cable anymore and it was on Fox and I hate Fox with a passion. ChatGPT tried walking me through options to watch it for free, but it was actually over before we found a solution.
But we actually pay for Peacock and I watched the entire Super Bowl including the Bad Bunny half time show (which I thought was amazing). The game was pretty amazing to me as well because I wasn't familiar with a single player. Back in the day I knew all of the players and watched as many games as possible. I did note that the quarterbacks both looked like they were 12 years old. And I enjoyed watching the Patriots' boy quarterback getting the snot knocked out of him like he was being bullied for lunch money.
Other than that, I enjoyed the Super Bowl commercials but marvelled at the unknown companies spending millions for one commercial spot that was probably their marketing budget for 20 years and hoping it would reap great rewards. The irony was that many of the ads focused more on the creative jokes than they did on who the ad was actually for. Don't get me wrong. I believe in strong creative, but at the end of the day the viewer needs to know who the ad was for. A particularly bad ad was one that had image after image of random things. Turns out the ad was for Jesus.
All I can say is Jesus.
One of my disappointments after the Super Bowl was when my nephew in Boise texted me "Congratulations." I responded with "In your face! When was the last time Boise won a Super Bowl?" He responded as if I was serious and said he had been rooting for the Seahawks. I actually had to explain to him that I was messing with him.
Jesus, give me strength and make people...or at least those related to me...understand my humor.
