Most people are spending part of today talking about aspects of that big sporting event that people watched yesterday.  So here are some opinions from me:

THE GAME:  I watched on a 46-inch HD screen... my first time seeing it in High-Def.  It's such an improvement.  In years past, the Super Bowl has turned into a Super Bore... Many of the games have not been all that exciting.  This one was pretty much a yawner until the very end, when everybody's blood started going.   The guy on the Giants who caught that one pass with his helmet, David Tyree, deserves an award.  I think his effort proves the Giants just wanted to win slightly more.  I was rooting for NY because they were the underdogs. However, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the Pats when their perfect record was spoiled.

THE COMMERCIALS:  Enjoyed the Budweiser Clydesdale "Rocky" satire the best... But when the Victoria's Secret ad came on, one of the other male viewers watching simply said the word "Oy!" -- a comment that needed no explanation.  Overally, I thought the commercials this year were not all that imaginative and creative.

THE HALF-TIME SHOW:   Not very inspiring.  I mean, I liked Tom Petty when I was in high school, but these days he's not exactly cutting edge.  Why couldn't they have chosen a performer who is more current?  Is it because the sponsor (Bridgestone Tires) was worried about having another wardrobe malfunction (remember Janet Jackson!)?  I enjoyed the Prince set at half-time (last year?).  At lease he always keeps his performances interesting.  Even the choice of the Rolling Stones a few years ago wasn't bad.  Who doesn't like watching them perform.  But Tom Petty?  Not exactly a barnburner.
