Now wasn't that a heck of a Superbowl?
Ok, for the first time in years (since Steelers/Titans) that game surpassed the advertisements by a wide margin. I saw few ads that I remember (Burt Reynolds, the Budweiser donkey, and the GoDaddy.com ad). That's it.
Not so great a Superbowl for Donovan McNabb. He choked. It happens. I thought, watching the first half, that the Patriots were giving the game to the Eagles. By simply not executing as well as they normally do. There were definitely some good opportunities that fell apart because the receiver dropped the ball or wasn't in the right position.
In contrast to the Eagles play, where when they were stopped it seemed more often than not it was 'cause a Patriot got in and fouled it up. I thought the score flattered the Eagles at the end.
T.O. did his bit but I think we saw a star being born in Deion Branch. The wide receiver for the Patriots is both speedy and has good hands. Match that with a great ability to get open when he needed to and he reminded me in a lot of ways of Jerry Rice. Yeah.. he can catch the ball but it's what he does after he catches it that has you scared.
All in all, a game worth watching.
And now for all of you who like donkeys, my favorite ad from the SuperBowl:
Now Look What You've Started.
