That was a Brees....

What a game! sort of...

With 2 high-powered offenses, i didn't think it would be any problem for either team to conjure up a cornucopia of razzle dazzle big time plays to wow the crowd. I was mistaken. In my opinion, with a peculiarly low level of hype surrounding the game, it almost seemed to pass by like any other game at first, but of course, the media can put a spin on anything. Peyton vs. Brees. The established, efficient, perennial championship contender vs. The war-torn, flashy, rebuilding organization. It seemed almost like America wanted New Orleans to win, but not crush the blue collar Colts. Even though they were pitted the underdog, everyone knows what kind of players the Saints have.

With a gleeful Tom Benson hoisting the franchises 1st Lombardi trophy, the owner put it best as he chanted "we back!" to the many fans cheering with enthusiasm. Then, handing it off to the man who helped rebuild a once dismal franchise (Most recently, 2005: 3-13) a tearful Brees thanked God, his teammates, and his owner for bringing him in to do a job, and breathed relief as he realized the accomplishment that had been reached.

The commercials! Another interesting aspect of the spectacle that is the superbowl had few gems in this years crown. Personally, I only found a select few to be humorous (Stolen Dorito bag) and I believe the fact that Pepsi is experimenting with social media marketing might be a reason why. Each company will change their entire strategy if this works for Pepsi, so this might be just the beginning for the downward spiral of television ads. Brace yourselves...as if they weren't already dull enough!

Congrats New Orleans!
