Petroglyph - February 6th, 2011 at 3:56 pm

Glad to see Shannon Sharpe got into the Hall. Hopefully we will be watching my Bronco's in next years Super Bowl, if Obama doesn't completely ruin our country by then.

Sirpigsalot1 - February 6th, 2011 at 4:02 pm

Speaking of your Broncs, did my all time great Steve Atwater make it to the Hall yet? I guess I could google it, just thought I'd ask.

Petroglyph - February 6th, 2011 at 4:06 pm

No, not yet. You'd think with 8 Probowls and 2 winning rings, he'd be there. Made me think of McCaffrey, he was a good actor when he couldn't catch the ball, he'd act like he was held.

I made a lot of money in 97' and 98'.

Sirpigsalot1 - February 6th, 2011 at 4:17 pm

Well, that's a crock of sh!t. He belongs, definitely. One of the hardest hitting Corners ever in football but like most of my alum football players they get skipped over. Burns my azz. McCaffrey had glue hands gosh durn that white boy could catch. I've always liked the Orange Crush esp when Elway was there pulling out all those last second TD's against KC and Oakland etc., but I'm more of a NFC fan – but a fan of football nonetheless.

Taxpayer1234 - February 6th, 2011 at 4:21 pm

I like both the Pack and the Steelers. I can't lose today!

unlfan_81 - February 6th, 2011 at 4:33 pm

I find it very sad that the only time that most people will even hear the entirety of the Declaration of Independence is at the beginning of a football game.Another quick thought…how pathetic is it that I am thinking of keeping track of the number of eco commercials there are tonight and I am also keeping track of how many injuries I'll be able to diagnose by replay alone?

ritasowders1972 - February 6th, 2011 at 4:37 pm

The commercials are pretty funny so far.

cubiclecommando - February 6th, 2011 at 4:41 pm

Let's not forget big Ed McCaffery. He should have a spot in the HoF.

cubiclecommando - February 6th, 2011 at 4:43 pm

Go Pack!

pnipni - February 6th, 2011 at 4:56 pm

- O'Reilly can't stop being half a Democrat and half an Independent. He just wanted the ratings, and he gave Obama more press than he should have. – On the other hand he did stick it to omarxist with the comments about "Big intrusive Govt" and "Those Muslim Brotherhood people are bad guys" and

" What will you do when ObamaCare goes down?" to which Obama went through all of his stalling tactics…The appeals Court, The appelate Court, etc. so

Obama's going to stall while we all pay the taxes for ObamaCare! Hey Repubs. Lets use Fed statute number 11 and fast track ObamaCare to the Supreme Court. !

__Christina Agulera not only blew the Star Spangled Banner, she made it all about herself by styleizing it so much. I still like her though.

- Declaration of Independence tells you the mood of the Country. We want it back! but they shoudln't have started out with "turncoat Colin Powell"

__- Jennefet Lopez is at the White House with Obama watching the game, while Obama's counting the Latino Votes!

- Bono is a Communist activist! . Why did Michael Douglas do a Commercial with him in it? ……………

- 3 Eco Commercials so far_

Sirpigsalot1 - February 6th, 2011 at 5:01 pm

Hehee. You sneaker you. ; o)

pnipni - February 6th, 2011 at 5:02 pm

- So far I like the Doritos with the dog who knocks the guy down with the door.

- TD by Nick Collins was shocking.

- knucklehead was funny

- "Reply all" commercial for Bridgestone was funny.

rdman - February 6th, 2011 at 5:10 pm

Super Bowl 45 = Super Bowl of goofy COMMERCIALS!!!!! More commercials than football!!

Sirpigsalot1 - February 6th, 2011 at 5:14 pm

Looks like the thumb suckers are back at work handing out their thumbs down, like it's gonna break our hearts or something. Such imbeciles and too cowardly to comment. Get a life freaks, racist and bigots. And while you're at it go DIAF.

JRvette - February 6th, 2011 at 5:14 pm

Like the Dream and Change ?

Over the last 30 years the blacks through threats, lawsuits, riots, etc have taken over every major pro sports in this country.
Like 2 white guys per team while the blacks take home millions of dollars to PLAY only 16 football games a year and even then are only on the field like 30 minutes per game bending over resting

Is there any white guys in basketball and just how many illegals from south of the border are in baseball ?

I think that leaves hockey the whites have and all they do is hit each other on the head with a stick

bobdog - February 6th, 2011 at 5:17 pm

Can't resist: Bush did it.

4arepublic - February 6th, 2011 at 5:17 pm

Without offending Steelers fans, I have to pull for the Packers. This is only because they saved us so much money by beating da bears (no offense to real Bears fans). Obummer is relegated to watching the game on TV and not spending our money on AF 1, transportating limos and choppers, way too much Secret Service personnel and a myriad of other expenses. However, I was happy to see W and Laura in attendance. The half-time show sucks… they just dropped Usher on the stage- so things might get better, but who knows. No, imo, it still sucks.

StinkEye - February 6th, 2011 at 5:19 pm

Watching the half-time show….please bring back the marching bands.

4arepublic - February 6th, 2011 at 5:21 pm

Update:
It still sucks. The spoof on the Dirty Dancing theme song was oh, so weak.

unlfan_81 - February 6th, 2011 at 5:22 pm

well the Black Eye Peas guy did call out Obama on education and job creation…however I think he was calling for money to be spent.

4arepublic - February 6th, 2011 at 5:22 pm

Or just a real band. In addition, I suggest someone who can really sing the National Anthem.

Capt_Knuckles - February 6th, 2011 at 5:22 pm

Now I see why all these bands lip sync instead of sing live. Geeze this is terrible.

Spanky - February 6th, 2011 at 5:24 pm

Don't forget curling!

Spanky - February 6th, 2011 at 5:25 pm

The less time Dear Leader spends in DC, the better off this country is. I'd buy him a country club membership if it would mean he played 18 holes every day.

Spanky - February 6th, 2011 at 5:26 pm

One of my kids just said the exact same thing!

unlfan_81 - February 6th, 2011 at 5:27 pm

yes at least Rosanne knew the words when she butchered it.

4arepublic - February 6th, 2011 at 5:28 pm

Smart kid, congrats.

pnipni - February 6th, 2011 at 5:28 pm

Would moochelle approve of all of the coke and Doritos commercials?

pnipni - February 6th, 2011 at 5:31 pm

Jennifer Lopez is at the White house watching the Super Bowl while obama is counting the Latino votes.

4arepublic - February 6th, 2011 at 5:31 pm

I'd like to see him so broke, he'd have to play muni's like most of us golfers. I bet he is never invited to be a member of Augusta National or Pine Valley.

pnipni - February 6th, 2011 at 5:32 pm

I like Christina Agulera but I like the Star Spangled Banner sung straight, not styleized.

peteee363 - February 6th, 2011 at 5:32 pm

i liked rosanne getting hit with a log, only wish it was real. didn't like the half time obamafest, where are the great performers?

4arepublic - February 6th, 2011 at 5:33 pm

I'm calling Obummer out on both for wasting so much money and not creating any real jobs. There is no more money to spend. We are BROKE.

4arepublic - February 6th, 2011 at 5:35 pm

Did you see that commercial when she got slugged with the log? That was funny.

unlfan_81 - February 6th, 2011 at 5:35 pm

yes the Snickers's commercials are always good.

4arepublic - February 6th, 2011 at 5:37 pm

She is currently scolding the Baracker for eating the last kielbasa… she wanted it.

4arepublic - February 6th, 2011 at 5:38 pm

I feel the same way. She butchered a great song.

4arepublic - February 6th, 2011 at 5:39 pm

The log thing was great. My favorite, so far.

pnipni - February 6th, 2011 at 5:46 pm

The children are out playing again.

pnipni - February 6th, 2011 at 5:47 pm

She styleized it too much. She thought it was all about her. No, it's all about our Country.
I like her anyway. That was just a mess.

pnipni - February 6th, 2011 at 5:49 pm

Obummer needs to be removed from office along with Holder, Napolitano and more. . ASAP!

pnipni - February 6th, 2011 at 5:52 pm

That's hilarious!

pnipni - February 6th, 2011 at 5:53 pm

Are you rooting for your team or talking to Obama?

Taxpayer1234 - February 6th, 2011 at 5:57 pm

I grew up in Chicago (da Bears!) but admired Vince Lombardi's Pack. (There were lots of Bears fans who liked the Pack because of Lombardi.) My uncle was on the coaching staff of the Steelers back in the 90s, so I've been a Steelers fan for a while.

Gooooo, St/ack! I mean, gooooo, P/eelers! Um, never mind.

Sirpigsalot1 - February 6th, 2011 at 5:58 pm

Hehee I never thought of that. Here's a quick drive-by to give you this little game: you pick a spot on the map, pick a bomb, then BAM!!! I nuked Mecca and Iran already. LOL.
http://www.carloslabs.com/projects/200712B/Ground...

pnipni - February 6th, 2011 at 6:04 pm

- Super Bowl Half time is no time for politics

Sirpigsalot1 - February 6th, 2011 at 6:08 pm

Neat-O

attila_the_pun - February 6th, 2011 at 6:12 pm

My ears still hurt from that dreadful butchering of the National Anthem. For a minute I thought Ernest Borgnine had taken up yodeling.

JoeDoakes101 - February 6th, 2011 at 6:17 pm

Who ever chose the "Black Eyed Peas" for the half show should be fired.

Odie1956 - February 6th, 2011 at 6:18 pm

The officiating on the field really sucks. That's 3 times the Pack has been screwed.

attila_the_pun - February 6th, 2011 at 6:20 pm

They couldn't get the Harmony Grits.

pnipni - February 6th, 2011 at 6:31 pm

I can't resist saying that it is good to see Pres Bush et al. They are a breath of fresh air compared to the torturous nightmare that we're dealing with now.

Odie1956 - February 6th, 2011 at 6:31 pm

Of course when they actually catch the ball you don't have to worry about the officiating!

wldbil - February 6th, 2011 at 6:40 pm

I had/put $erious faith in the Pack @ -2.5….I'm feeling pretty good so far…..
Knock on wood…..

wldbil - February 6th, 2011 at 6:42 pm

Correct p…O'Riely is a ratings whore…srtaight up….
As for Christina Agulera….great pipes eh?

pnipni - February 6th, 2011 at 6:42 pm

You're hilarious!

pnipni - February 6th, 2011 at 6:53 pm

Man, what a mess! Christa Agulera gave me a headache. I like her but she styleized it too much, making it all about herself instead of our Country, and blowing it in the process. Ugh.

pnipni - February 6th, 2011 at 7:13 pm

Obama will never help them with education and job creating. He'd rather enslave them to welfare and unemployment. As for education, his Unions will make sure that the bad teachers stay forever. He's way more interested in "voting blocks." – - – –

i.e. Remove Obama from office and disband Unions.

77patriot - February 6th, 2011 at 7:15 pm

My pics for the best ads: The Bud "home improvement" Ad
The coke ad with the two soldiers
The doritos man teasing the dog ad

Go Packs!

pnipni - February 6th, 2011 at 7:16 pm

Best Commercial: The beaver that drops the tree across the road to return the favor!

zebo - February 6th, 2011 at 7:22 pm

As a Browns fan, any time the Putzburgh Stoolers lose, I'm happy!

sistyugler1 - February 6th, 2011 at 7:23 pm

What the heck was that politically correct butchering of Lombardi's famous line "Winning is the only thing" ?
Vince just rolled over and cussed out the guy next to him.

wldbil - February 6th, 2011 at 7:23 pm

Biggest Dud?

No contest the Budwieser wild west ad….

zebo - February 6th, 2011 at 7:25 pm

I can't understand why anyone would watch Bill O'Really.

cruzin77 - February 6th, 2011 at 7:26 pm

If Deion Sanders , the only cornerback/kick returner that has never been tackled(runs out of bounds) or made a tackle gets in, Ed should be a no brainer.

cruzin77 - February 6th, 2011 at 7:33 pm

Pack Wins (not a Steelers fan), Great game, the beer cold and the food was great , won $150 on the 3rd quarter score, day off tomorrow, GOD, WHAT A COUNTRY!!!!

Fox Mulder - February 6th, 2011 at 7:34 pm

Wasn't it nice of the US taxpayers to buy Aaron Rogers a new Cevy Camaro and pay for all those expensive super bowl adds… I wanted to puke every time I saw a government motors commercial.

I wonder why he didn't get one of those great chevy volts instead??

Sirpigsalot1 - February 6th, 2011 at 7:35 pm

I know that's too right. The Dog Pound is overdue for a nice season. It seems like forever since they've done much, but I remember those days in the late 60's where they fought those Steelers tooth and nail down to the wire, in a blizzard snow storm. Art Modell messed that team up in more ways than a Century of Sundays. But hopefully they'll get things back together soon.

Baloshka - February 6th, 2011 at 7:39 pm

American football stinks

JoeInMichigan - February 6th, 2011 at 7:40 pm

HA!
I wondered the same thing.
I guess they figured He'll never drive this ugly POS – we better go with the muscle.

jadedeye - February 6th, 2011 at 7:41 pm

The picture – old school football
The Win – old school football
St. Vince – Your Trophy is back home!!!

jwmeriwether - February 6th, 2011 at 7:42 pm

Agreed. Glenn Beck is way better

jadedeye - February 6th, 2011 at 7:44 pm

A battle of real bands – University of Michigan vs. University of Southern California!!!

Fox Mulder - February 6th, 2011 at 7:45 pm

I liked the half time show, for a band that doesn't play any instruments IMO it was suprisingly pretty good.

Hey, I had pretty low expectations.

peteee363 - February 6th, 2011 at 7:47 pm

i watched cheney speaking last night, and he picked the pack. as a bears fan i was root'n for the steel men, but i have no dog in the show, so i am glad the pack won, it makes former v.p. dick, look smarter than obumma, he picked the bears to beat the pack, and doomed us bears fans to a loss. why can't he pick the cards for baseball, and help the cubs out? we have only been in the wilderness for over a hundred years, with no series. heck, it has been since 1945 since they even showed up to get beat by the tigers.

katpatriot - February 6th, 2011 at 7:51 pm

Ditto, I turned it Off! It sounded and looked a little like the Obama jackboots.

Katpatriot

peteee363 - February 6th, 2011 at 7:51 pm

hey, old ernie would have belted out a better song. but i do like her assets, but she can't screw up the national anthem, and hold her head up. but, she didn't do as bad as roseanne barr did.

peteee363 - February 6th, 2011 at 7:53 pm

and whare are the cheerleaders? even if your team stinks up the place, the cheerleaders are good to look at.

peteee363 - February 6th, 2011 at 7:56 pm

i got hell, for telling everybody before the bears game that the bears were screwed, and obama should have kept his mouth shut. now obama has to make the call, and say congrats to the team that proved him wrong, yet again!

peteee363 - February 6th, 2011 at 7:57 pm

with thunder thighs like she has, i would say she is eating more than just the kielbasa!

Fox Mulder - February 6th, 2011 at 8:10 pm

What is it with so many of the commercials having to display such disrespect, not the correct word maybe, but it used to be funny, when it was original a few years ago, now it is old and shockingly unimaginary for the kind of dollars that are dropped on them.

Sirpigsalot1 - February 6th, 2011 at 8:15 pm

peteee. Da Bears are one of my old favorites as well. When Ditka was there he had them rolling like a well oiled machine and that nasty defense and Dan Hampton could tear some heads off. They'll be back and on the attack. Just a matter of time. Now for the Cubs….I just don't know anymore what to think. They are so snake bit I actually feel sorry for that team. Just because of that I admire them more than harp on them, although I'm a Cards fan. <ducks down from Ralph>

pnipni - February 6th, 2011 at 8:25 pm

They shouldn't. He's got a mess of problems. I think he used to be a Democrat, now an independent. Half the time he doesn't know what is going on in Politics. Beck saved his arse there. .. He has a vicious temper. He's rude. He's arrogant and condescending. He plays favorites. He hangs out with Obama. He's a ratings hound. He doesn't have a " core center" for politics like most people here who know what they like or don't like.

He's just nothing really. He's really only good as a dog to sic on your enemies. Like tonight, I hate to give him any credit but he did stick it to the elusive obama.He got to confront(his middle name) obama on "Redistribution of Wealth" "Obamacare" "Muslim Brotherhood" "Entitlement programs" government intrusion" but OReilly is still not worth watching. I agree with you.

zebo - February 6th, 2011 at 8:53 pm

I can't stand either one.

pnipni - February 6th, 2011 at 9:03 pm

Why do you say that 'American football stinks' Baloshka? What do you think 'stinks' about it?

Gary__K - February 6th, 2011 at 9:06 pm

I went to a Super Bowl party, played poker, entered 2 pools and came home $7 and change ahead….food was free too.

It was even a good night chatting about how bad NoBama is.

pnipni - February 6th, 2011 at 9:06 pm

You're right. They're vulgar. Instead of being clever they are base. They go for insults, burps, gaseous sounds, bedroom scenes, uncooth and general vulgarity. You can get that kind of low class stuff anywhere. For a million dollar commercial, it should NOT offend! It should be clever and classy!

Mark_S - February 6th, 2011 at 9:18 pm

lets' not forget the game was in Texas.. them "dumb rednecks" down in Texas can't appreciate a great piece of machinery like a volt!!! {/Sarcasm}

Now what the hell was that Chrysler "imported from Detroit " commercial?!?

Mark_S - February 6th, 2011 at 9:29 pm

Let's get the HBCU bands.. . Jackson State, Grambling, Alcorn St, etc. Those bands really know how to do it!!!

Taxpayer1234 - February 6th, 2011 at 10:26 pm

OMG, da Bears in Super Bowl XX! Singletary, Sweetness, McMahon, da Fridge, and Ditka!

Always been a Cubs fan. They'll win it all one day!

no_more_deceit - February 6th, 2011 at 10:43 pm

Black n Blue Division brother, Packers over Steeltown. and yep, Pack WON

no_more_deceit - February 6th, 2011 at 10:45 pm

wow, buy some boots http://www.joenickp.com/texas/bootmakers.html

chopper - February 6th, 2011 at 11:44 pm

i just did an "asteroid impact" on Moscow!……………it was ugly. I feel better now, thanks Sir.

harley_charley - February 7th, 2011 at 1:11 am

Loved the Chrysler commercial, hip & gritty, "Imported from Detroit", I like that. From a town, as the line Moe spoke on the Simpsons – "Hey, hey them's Detroiters are living in Mad Max times".

di_da_is_alpha - February 7th, 2011 at 2:47 am

Neither the Packers or Steelers have cheerleaders. Go figure.

mrm_in_wnc - February 7th, 2011 at 4:32 am

u & me both.

Shurmus - February 7th, 2011 at 6:05 am

What'dya think, Pittsburgh? How bout next year we get Pouncey and Flozell some help? And lose William Gay, for the love of God that guy sucks. We missed you, Emmanuel…big time. You and Pouncey somethin awful. Ziggy is gonna be a star…

We shore up the safeties, corners and Oline, and the Steelas are headin back to 70's dominance.

Congrats to the Pack for wipin the taste of Favre forever out of the mouths of the good people of Green Bay.

cubiclecommando - February 7th, 2011 at 6:36 am

Heheheheh. Good one. Wish I'd thought of that. However, my rhinovirus-addled brain is not functioning on all 3 cylinders.

Ummmm - February 7th, 2011 at 6:46 am

How dare you insult a great american hero like Ernie by comparing him to Xtina!
