The Coming and Going of the Super Bowl

Well, the Super Bowl has come and gone, but in comparison to the past several years, I found this year's ads to be somewhat lacking. Given that this year set a record for advertising at $2.6 million for 30 seconds, you would hope that someone would really be focusing on producing a quality product.



According to USA Today, the Budweiser crabs worshiping the ice chest was the number one favorite. It isn't to much of a surprise that Budweiser and Bud Light commercials were 7 of the top 10 favorites. Especially given beverages are always among the top number of advertisements.



I personally was rooting for Chicago Bears, but just like my own California Golden Bears, they started strong and ended with a whimper. Even though they were underdogs by seven points in the spread, I was still hoping for a win based on some good old voodoo statistics (like distance from the Super Bowl venue, which suggested Chicago would win).



I mean, Chicagoans need to drive through Indianapolis to get to Miami, it's that much further north. Oh well, there is always next year.
