Got the nachos, got the dip, got the Adult Beverages; I’m ready for some COMMERCIALS!

(PS I think there is some kind of sporting event on tonight as well.)

Post your winning picks here.

Based on prior threads most people won't be watching the game.

I'll either hear about it on the book of faces, or at work first thing as all my coworkers dissect it in minute detail, and curse the Pats who will obviously win. LOL.

I’m unfortunately getting ready to board an airplane. Downloaded the nbc sports app just in case there is WiFi, but it is not a big plane.

I haven't watched an NFL game in a year and a half or so. I couldn't even tell you what channel it is on. I will miss the commercials though. Of course you get to see them all later anyway, but it was cool seeing them as they come out.

So, pregame; the ‘Zelle’ banking app series was pretty weird. That’s the PayPal of the new age?

I wasn't planning on it . . . the wife insists on watching the halftime show and commercials. I'm more concerned with getting my CAD software working right.

Unfortunately, my desk is in the living room with the TV. I'm probably going to put the headphones in and listen to some podcasts.

Peter D rapping Busta cracked me up. But you guys know how much I like funny raps.
Morgan freeman wasn't quite as good.


I thought the Sprint ad with the AI "coworkers" mocking the guy was funny, too - if a bit creepy. But the derpy robot saying "you have a dumb face" hah.

I gave up my GamePass, but I've watched the Pats whenever they were on network TV this year simply for the solitary veteran who came out of the tunnel to stand in respect of the flag/anthem. I'm watching tonight as well. Ironic considering how they embarrassed my Falcons a year ago. Go PATS!

Kind of a fail with the target market, right there.

That Ram ad with MLK. WHEW.

RJ

Ram Trucks and MLK speech was inspiring, if a little weird.

Side story: If you are ever in Atlanta, take some time to stop in to the MLK Museum and learn a little about Dr. King. It is well worth it.

At the risk of being a Debbie Downer is anyone else a little underwhelmed? I enjoyed the vehicle adverts and, of course, Star Wars but it seems like the "soul" behind some of the adverts was gone.

Surprising game, though. This may be the first full game I've watched in recent history. I don't buy into the drama created by NFL haters lately, just have lost my enthusiasm for football and replaced it with other passions.

This because... #fucktheNFL (https://pistol-forum.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=fucktheNFL). I'm really trying to cut down on the swearing so sorry Tom, but seriously F*@! these guys. Rant over.

I dunno. I can't remember year to year except for Van Damme on those 2 Volvo trucks. These seem decent to me.

David Macneil appreciates your contribution to the racing slush fund (it gets expensive having to switch cars so often while complaining about BOP). :D

Yeah, they're decent to pretty good. Nothing yet really stands out though, even to the level of the Bud frogs as silly as that whole phenom was.

Only watched the National Anthem. Pink looked like a cud chewing cow with her big wad of bubblegum. And her version sucked ass. Fuck the nfl.

Australia was pretty good.
NZ way more fun in less space.
Diving GBR as a day trip was HUGELY disappointing. Nothing but dead coral.

Back on topic. The CX lounge at HKG didn't show the game and I didn't care.
I'll catch up with the commercials when I get home, unless you guys posted some links later in this thread....

Pink was singing with the flu FWIW and removed a cough drop from her mouth immediately beforehand.

"I just watch for the commercials" reminds me of "I just read the articles in Playboy."

I've been sick as hell and didn't make it to the end of the first half while skipping the commercials on DVR. Even though I know who won I'll watch the end of the game later today.

You may be right but I would think the NFL only gets paid for the spot on air, not proceeds from the content afterwards since it’s not theirs. Obviously, I don’t know how their contracts are structured so that’s a WAG.

Cool little story of Pink's brother saluting during her singing of the anthem.
