Since the NFL may have attorneys reading this—and I can’t afford to be sued, I’ll have to be careful in the phrasing, but dammit, this weekend will be exciting!
As you know, the football team from New England is playing one of the teams from New York in the “Big Game” this Sunday.
It will be Super. It will be a Bowl. And neither were in the same sentence.
So there.
And as riveting as the gridiron contest is in and of itself, the spectacle that IS the Super….oops…the “Big Game”---has as much to do with the TV commercials that surround it. In fact, the Monday post mortems are often about the caliber of the ads than they are about the quality of play on the field.
After all, these companies are shelling out HUGE dollars to grab our interest, make us laugh----- and eventually buy.
The Doritos “home-made” ads are great—and the audience gets to pick the winner from five finalists. This year, Jerry Seinfeld is pitching a particular Nissan sportscar.
Check out the preview:

Funny!
With the “New England” team involved this year, the outcome of the game itself will keep me glued to the plasma, but I too am interested in the ads. There is only one problem with this.
When the game is good and the ads are sometimes better, exactly WHEN do you go to the bathroom?
