It wasn't the best year year for super bowl commercials, but I thought this Volkswagon ad was the best. Honorable mention to Google and the Bud Light T-Pain autotune ad.
15 observations: Baskett, Payton and more | Philly | 02/07/2010
The play you will remember when you think about this Super Bowl 20 years from now is the onside kick to start the second half. With the Saints trailing 10-6, Sean Payton decided to gamble, and of all people, it was Hank Baskett who could not handle the kick. New Orleans recovered and went 59 yards for the touchdown to take a 13-10 lead.
Goodell: NFL to mull ban on 3-point stance | Philadelphia Daily News | 02/08/2010
No more three-point stance? NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says it's possible. Concerned about concussions, Goodell said the league would keep looking for ways to make the game safer. Speaking on CBS' "Face the Nation" hours before the Super Bowl, he didn't rule out the idea of banning the three-point stance for linemen to reduce the ferocity of collisions at the line of scrimmage.

It was the mistake that halted all talk of legacy and supremacy for one man, and brought immortality to the other.
Super Bowl Commercials: Liveblogging The Reason This All Happens - SB Nation
SB Nation's Spencer Hall offered his thoughts on the real reason Super Bowl Sunday is so celebrated: the commercials. This year's theme: men in their underwear.
Roger Daltry, Who not happy with performance - ESPN
The Who's frontman Roger Daltry didn't really care for his experience singing at halftime of Sunday's Super Bowl. Daltry, who doesn't hide the fact that he isn't a fan of American football, thought the whole idea of singing a medley of classic rock songs in 12 minutes at halftime of a sporting event "a little strange." "It didn't even feel like a concert," Daltry said. "It's a television show. And what can you do in 12 minutes?"

Ban the 3-point stance?
Seems like that would leave DLs to get mauled on any run between the tackles. Or, it means defenses would get rid of big DTs and get linebacker-sized guys to stand back and shoot into the line like wedge busters, thereby defeating the entire purpose of the rule.

Sucks that Baskett’s name was only called once during the entire game and it wasnt for a good play.

yea that one was good
i liked the VW one because of the song… it’s one of my fave’s… funny how commercials are using lots of indie bands now instead of pop. i like the movement.
Also, Daltry can blow me. Can the SB get musicians who aren’t whiny bitches for next year’s suberbowl? Preferably musicians who have respect for the game of football.

The Who’s style of play is not easy to convert into a 12 minute set. The perfect band for the Super Bowl is Queen, but Freddie is dead. I don’t know why the NFL doesn’t just go for Arena rock styled bands, the genre of music that Queen basically founded and made famous. Bruce was great last year, but most classic rock bands just don’t do well in a 12 minute medley. Don’t call the Who whiny, because Daltry and Townsend are right about the situation, it’s too short to book bands of whom most of us has thousands of minutes of music on. It’s not fair to the fans or to the band.

sure it's not easy
but don’t agree to play for it then bitch about it. I’m sure they are perfectly capable of turning down the invitation, and if they felt it was disrespecgtful to turn the invitation down, then keep your mouth shut and play out of respect. i love the who’s music and i think anyone with half a brain knows that someone can’t cram a lifetime’s worth of progressive music into a 12 minute slot, but seriously…. don’t be whiny.
It’s like agreeing to help a friend move, then whining the whole time about how much it sucks… doesn’t make sense to me.

The autotune thing was cute for about 2 songs. Now I get an urge to throat punch people whenever I hear it. Especially when actual good singers use it. I’ll be glad when that fad goes the way of parachute pants and hair bands.

I'm thinking...
that the best commercial was between Betty White and the little kid in Doritos commercial slapping the guy…
Saying you like the cowboys is like strapping a bomb to your chest and going into the airport, even if you get away with it your still gonna die soon.
