First of all, it's official the New England Patriots is officially a dynasty for winning 3 superbowls in 4 years. Go Pats! But then again, isnt it a little premature to call the team a dynasty now? Don't get me wrong, the Patriots is a team to beat and they have proven with its impeccable record. However, shouldn't dynasty be used in a historical context?
Anyway, other than seeing the Patriots win, I thought the Superbowl last night was the worst Superbowl that I have ever watched. First of all, the half-time show was the lamest I have ever seen. I have always held high esteem for Paul McCartney, but I think we need more extravagance in the half-time show. I will tell you why Janet Jacksons show last year was the best Superbowl half-time show of all time. No,
it wasnt her bare breast, but rather if you think about people are still talking about the half-time show a year later. From a marketing point of view, thats success. Speaking of marketing, the Superbowl commercials were the worst I have ever seen. With the exception of the Budweiser: "Salute to soldiers", Budweiser: "Designated Driver featuring Cedric", Tabasco sauce, and Toyota Primus commercials, the other commercials didnt really leave an impression on me. Honorary mention for the worst commercial I have seen goes to the Frito Lay commercial featuring M.C. Hammer. It's simply awful.
