Can't believe you gave Scientology a "C-" :biggrin:

Skipjack Joe - 2-2-2014 at 06:49 PM

I was generous on that. Any ordinary gets a C. Do you agree?

vandenberg - 2-2-2014 at 06:50 PM

Seagulls???

For a team that is having their butts handed to them I wouldn't be name calling right now. This has to be the biggest choke job by the donkies in super bowl history.

Right about now I'm feeling good about my bet. BUT...it's not over till it's over!

p.s. Loved the anthem, groaned at the Chili Peppers, Seinfeld looked like a zombie, loved the Doritos girl roper and her mount.

The "Red Hot Chili Peppers" were worse than the Broncos.
I'm watching the news.

All in all, when you consider the game, the halftime show and the commercials, I thought it was probably the worst SB I have ever watched. And I believe I have only missed one (last year) since it began.

Some marketing guy must have told Bruno Mars that a combination of James Brown and Michael Jackson would sell. He seemed very un-original to me. The band was tight; but not very melodic. This was the first time I had ever seen or heard him.

Skipjack Joe - 2-2-2014 at 10:07 PM

Ken,

I know very little about Scientology other than that Charles Manson practiced it.

Just saw on the boob-tube that the Budweiser puppy commercial was voted the best. I gave that on a C-. Too schmaltzy for me. I don't like having my feelings manipulated with sentimental plots. But the dumb-down bud lite commercials are really the worst to have to endure during every sports program. I suppose they feel that's what people want.

For pure comedy I liked the Doritos commercials.

Most super bowls are blowouts and not that entertaining. It's sad to know that had the 49ers just made one play at the end they would have been super bowl champs. That's 3 'almost' years in a row now.

weebray - 2-2-2014 at 10:27 PM

Let's see, who was more pathetic? Bruno Mars at this years stupid bowl, the two donkeys "representing" the Beatles at this years Grammys (Ringo was particularly embarrassing), or the simpering "Bronkets" backing on to the field with their pee pee's in their hand? I give the NFL about 10 more years. It's on life support right now. I'd put my $ on Australian rules f-ball. Take all that carbon fiber crap off the boys and throw them in the pit.

DianaT - 2-2-2014 at 10:54 PM

Gees,

Am I the only one who enjoyed the half time show? Usually I don't like the 1/2 time show at all, but this one I REALLY enjoyed. It did not have all the gimmicks and we thought it was fun!

The game? Sad

As a sucker for puppies, I liked the Bud commercial, and the Dorritos commercial was quite entertaining.

Well deserved number one. The Bud Commercial was very well done.

David K - 2-3-2014 at 12:42 AM

I am with Diana T and Barry A in saying that it was a good halftime show, no wardrobe malfunctions to lie about, just good musical talent... great fireworks, too.

Commercials? I liked the German engineers growing wings, the chihuahua hybrids, Arnold in a wig playing "tiny tennis", and the first Maserati car ad I think I have ever seen! The Cheerios girl and Clydesdale/ dog friendship ones were good too.
Edit: Forgot maybe my favorite: The Radio Shack 80's theme commercial!

Skipjack Joe - 2-3-2014 at 02:30 AM

I don't know. I just saw the puppy/horsey commercial as the sort of thing that appeals to people who like to send and receive hallmark cards or watch the programs that the hallmark station puts on. Not my cup of tea. I like less sugar in my tea.

PS I never watch super bowl halftime shows. I feel they interfere with the game. The game analysis is sufficient.

Rarely, rarely watch Hallmark and I am not a fan of Hallmark Cards. But I understand --- pretty sappy.

And I am just plain old sappy about puppies. :biggrin::biggrin:

I liked the Radio Shack 80s commercial. I thought the German Engineers growing wings was CREEPY.

Didn't watch the after game show. What was there to say? Seattle simply smashed Denver.

Thank God it's OVER !

MrBillM - 2-3-2014 at 10:28 AM

Now, HBO will go back to "True Detective" on Sunday night.

The one thing that I saw was a piece of a Chrysler commercial and I was trying to figure out who the Dumpy-Looking guy was doing the narration. His voice was familiar. Thought he might be some Designer guy [like] Ralph Lauren.

I read later that it was Bob Dylan.

Who I'd thought was Dead. But, that's often true of entertainers that haven't been heard from in a long time. You Assume.

Glad to see that he's not, I guess. He actually looked better than the last time I remember seeing him 20-25 years ago.

Speaking of which, Adios Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Good actor. BAD choice.

Right on Hook. B Mars was sooooo stilted and mechanical. Frankly I prefer a little sexy wardrobe malfunction to music created by people who's other job is to write commercials for fast food joints. I usually feel guilty/bad when I waste a few hours on a perfectly good Sunday afternoon watching MY team play. I really feel bad I spent a couple of hours watching bad actors last night. I'm done with the NFL.

Finally got those dang black feathers out from between my teeth, long enough to say
Go Seahawks
Unreal!

Pompano - 2-3-2014 at 12:46 PM

Super Bowl 2014 will be remembered more for it's commercials rather than the lopsided game. I kept waiting for something...anything... to happen.

But glad my pick won anyway. Now to go spend it on something totally whimsical.

Wow! How macho, very impressive.

Getting Brunos mixed up

MrBillM - 2-3-2014 at 02:08 PM

I had thought that Bruno Mars was an advertiser.

Men's apparel or something.

The wife told me he was a singer of some sort.

Then, I realized that it was Bruno Magli (OJ Shoes) that I was thinking of.

I see where the singer hasn't been around that long, but I would have thought there would have been some mention of him in the news that I would have seen.

bajagrouper - 2-3-2014 at 04:47 PM

I am just glad the seahawks did not break the record held by my 49er's of creaming the burros a few years back 55 to 10 in SB 14.......

Paulina - 2-3-2014 at 10:33 PM

Did anyone notice that only the male engineers at VW got wings? The only thing a female engineer got was a pat on the behind from the wing of a male colleague. German engineering at it's finest?

P>*)))>{

Skipjack Joe - 2-4-2014 at 04:48 AM

Jawohl, I did see it. What we witnessed was the remnants of the German ideal of womanhood, as first defined by the Kaiser and became known as the 3 K's:

"Kuche, Kirche, und Kinder" (Kitchen, Church, and Children)


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinder,_K%C3%BCche,_Kirche

to which his wife later added Kleider (clothing)

------------------------------------------------

Or there is the much simpler Benny Hill explanation:

She had grossen ta taasen.

Hope this helps. :saint:

DavidE - 2-4-2014 at 10:42 AM

I COUNT MYSELF AS ONE OF THE "WINNERS"

I did not spend a nickel on gasoline and sit on a hard stool to watch a 2nd rate team play a 16th rate team to a boring blowout.

I read a good novel and used 3 hours out of my life being entertained not bored.

PATOOIE!

BajaLuna - 2-4-2014 at 03:42 PM

right on, mulegemichael, my fellow Northwesterner!

I loved the Denver Post's front page with the headline "Seasick". Yep that about sums it up!

Bruno Mars and The Red Hot Chili Peppers were amazing!

300,000+ expected for the parade tomorrow, spent all night trying to get a hotel room downtown Seattle, yeah right what a joke! Won't even be able to get into the city on parade day. Between the Washingtonians, the Oregonians, the BC Canadians, and the Idahoans, not a room in sight! The Seahawks represent so many in the Northwest!

This place is on FIRE, the whole Northwest has gone crazy! Team spirit abounds everywhere!

The Hawks deserve all the recognition they are getting, they played an awesome game and dominated out the gate!

Saw this Super Bowl 48 trivia online...

Super bowl 48: 4+8=12
The first score in the first half was 12 seconds into the game.
The first Seahawk touchdown in the second quarter was at exactly 12:00.
The first score in the second half was 12 seconds in.
Wilson's total passing yards was 206, which is the Seattle area code.
The Seahawks total score was 43. 4x3=12

the number Gods were with us, not to mention the karma Gods were smiling on us because of the last time we were in the Super Bowl and had such a crappy call. But mostly it's because the Seahawk's team and Coach just click together!

We are loud and proud, go Hawks!

And don't forget - the first player to talk about himself for 12 straight hours, Richard Sherman.

The best part about the SB? I won my pool !!! ...that's about it :D

And I liked the sappy puppy/budweiser commercial, but I'd had a couple of beers by then... I also liked the doberman/chihuahua mix dogs and the lasso girl on the big dog. Sensing a theme here...
