Another open comment thread to fill my time… Much thanks.

I’m rooting for the Saints mainly just because I really like the Stinchcombs (though it does make me ill to root for Reggie Bush).

I’ll be interested to see the Tebow commercial not because of the content but to see its placement in the lineup. It could either work out well or be kind of awkward. If its placed after an “extreme” Doritos ad or the ad for the new Dante’s Inferno video game (the commercial tagline is “Go to Hell.”), look for the latter.

Day one.

I’d seen the preview but forgotten. Gonna be awesome.

Not so much on stopping the run… I’d assume that’s why the last place running team in the NFL is running it so much.

C’mon guys make this a game…

It’ll probably come true.

I want me some free pants.

Puxatawney Polamalu. Awesome.

We have ourselves a game . . . unfortunately.

I shouldn’t stress over which team I’m rooting for in the Super Bowl; once kickoff occurs, I have a visceral reaction one way or the other.

I just cannot, cannot, cannot stand Drew Brees.

He simply had no business being named the MVP of the 2000 Outback Bowl.

Who thinks Pete Townshend will have a wardrobe malfunction?

Sub questions:

Do you think Pete had to go door to door in Miami informing people he was in the neighborhood?

Will The Who be joined on stage by Gary Glitter for a stirring rendition of Rock and Roll Part 2?

If Budweiser was illegal, we’d get, like, three decent Super Bowl commercials.

Well, that’s not the only reason I’m glad Prohibition was repealed, but it’s on the list, anyway.

And the chaos of the 2007 Ga End Zone Dance.

I can’t explain it. I just cannot stand them.

Very few penalties, and I think it’s been pretty well officiated.

. . . but, if you’re going to play Ravel’s “Bolero,” I want to see Bo Derek naked.

To advertise the census.

Facepalm.

In the category of “Ads That Showed Me Convincingly Why I Need to Use the Product Being Advertised (You Know . . . the Point of Advertising),” the Google ad easily wins the evening so far.

a commercial from the Muscogee Creek Nation of Oklahoma?

. . . without thinking of “Pulp Fiction.”

That was the softest soft coverage I’ve ever seen.

I’d forgotten all about that. Now it’ll be stuck in my head for a month.

. . . finish your ad with Beyonce.

Don’t give me the “numa numa dance” guy. That’s trading down, any way you slice it.

Always nice to see a former Bulldog doing well.

Matthew & Knowshon lead their respective teams (whoever they are) to the SuperBowl. I don’t think I could watch that.

. . . since the first quarter?

. . . ever.

of the talking E*Trade babies yet?

. . . but I don’t think the evidence was adequate to overturn it, either way.

However it had been called on the field, the play should have stood as called on the field.

The first thing I wanna do is go play some basketball.

to be eating is a box of Taco Bell.

Bad for the heart.
Bad for the World’s Carbon footprint.

. . . refers to the heartland as “flyover country.”

Seriously, I thought it was mocking the pretension of the overzealous eco types.

The only guy who’s buying that car because of that ad is Ed Begley, Jr., who used his census ad money.

Dang. These people are going to be insufferable.

“The New Orleans Saints . . . the Boise State Broncos of the NFL!”

. . . I just threw up a stick of butter.

. . . to pay Joe Montana to appear in their commercial?

All right, now, I’m just mad.

is suddenly playing like he did his whole career vs. Florida.

the goal posts – would that have been a score?

He’s said at least three things that were so glaringly obvious that they could only have been said ironically.

. . . to get that birthmark removed.

I have a good friend that grew up in Indy, so I was contractually obligated to root for the Colts, and I have to admit that I kind of feel for Peyton that he’ll be treated like a guy who “just couldn’t win the big game,” even though he’s one of the best QB’s to ever play in the NFL.

Color me unimpressed by most of the commercials, too. Though, I did like the Charlie Daniels beaver.

It’s five ‘til 10:00, and we’ve gotten through the game already. Productive Monday, here I come!

Time to walk the dog and set up the coffee pot for another week o’reality.

Looking forward to getting back to discussing the Dawgs this week now that all that signing day drama is over and we’ve got our coaching staff in place.

I could tell you how jacked I am about all of this, but Kyle has kinda’ put me off butter tonight.

Sleep well, all.

Congratulations to everyone who was pulling for the Saints and condolences to everyone who was pulling for the Colts (like me).

At least we got a good game and a couple of good commercials.

The Diamond Dogs’ season begins on February 19 and the G-Day game is April 10.

Have a good week, everyone. Over and out, Bulldog Nation.
