    You mean there's a game going on between the commercials?

    I LOVE the new M&Ms and Godaddy spots so far...

      If I was in France, I would not likely be watching TV, especially football.

            Halftime - Good 96 Yd drive by Tom Brady throwing a TD pass, scoring with 3 secs left to go up 10-9 at the half. Now we watch Madonna.

            I''m abusing company resources, the on-line SB broadcast gave me a server permissions error - apparently won't stream to outside the US. Had to log into the VPN and make it look to NBC like I'm in the states. Well they put me here and its Sunday night, I guess they won't miss the bandwidth.

              Need to post a spoiler alert for those that are DVRing it. Like me.
              Actually just doing that for the commercials. The Saints didn't quite make it there this time.

              I say this because I generally DVR anything worth watching. Commercials are normally a thing of the past. From time to time though, I see a few. I like to see the ones that are thought through, funny and different, regardless of content.

              Love the E-Trades youngun.

                It's amazing how one drive can completely shift the momentum of a game. That 96 yarder before the half seems to have shifted things.

                I think Madonna deserves a good grade. A bit stiff at times but overall very good.

                I guess this is the year of the car commercials. All have been great. Doritos...not so much. Go Daddy is always a winner. Beer commercials.. Meh.

                Go Texans! ...but I'll settle for the Giants.

                  Enjoyed watching it with the two wee ones tonight. At least this year they made it to half time!

                      Chevy truck commercials pretty good--espicially bringing in the Twinkies. My faveroite ad has been the Doritos with the Great Dane. And the Coke driver winning a Pepsi contest.

                        I watched just about the whole game, but when halftime came, I went to take a shower. Couldn't care less about Madonna & company.

                          Haven't been able to stand the Dorito's commercials for a few years now. Always rate them near the bottom.

                          Like the Clint Eastwood Chrysler commercial, and the Betty White Voice promo. The Ferris CRV ad wasn't too bad.

                            Saw the Ferris CRV ad about a week ago on Youtube. Pretty good. The VW dog / Darth Vader ad was pretty good, absolutely hated the Hyundai ads. As boring as those are I would think they would make their sales drop instead of go up... The Coke and Budweiser ads were so so... and the Coke driver winning a Pepsi contest was a hoot...

                            Only watched Madonna's halftime show because LOML likes her... They need to bring out Norm Abram for the halftime show instead! You think the NFL would do a presentation from Norm during halftime, maybe doing a presentation on shop safety?

                              I actually really liked the Dorito's commercial. I don't know how you couldn't laugh at that.
