Super Bowl XLII
I enjoyed the Super Bowl tonight. The first quarter went by so quick it was already 3-0 and mostly over by the time I started watching.
My favorite ad this year was Bud Light "Language of Love". I laughed and laughed, but then I love geek/romance jokes (kind of like the movie Hitch, which I thought was hilarious the whole way through).
Mahalo's got a page of Super Bowl Budweiser ads. The clip to the Bud Light ad on YouTube is only 8 seconds, though:

I thought the game was really good and of course had a great finish (the pass Eli Manning made on the last drive, after barely breaking away, will be a staple of future highlights, surely). Couldn't say I was sorry the Patriots lost, since I was just rooting for the underdog.
My youngest son complained in the third quarter that the game was boring (it stayed 7-3 for a long time), but it was great to see the Giants shut down the Patriots offense, which only really got into a groove a couple of times the whole game.
I remember when I was a kid going to a hockey game and loving it, even though we lost 3-0, because the other team's goalie was really amazing. It's when you can love watching good defense that you've become a real fan of the sport.
