~ Despite not loving (ok, strongly disliking) Peyton Manning and his Omaha-shouting ways, I had picked him for a win. It turns out that I'm just as unreliable with my picks as the Broncos were in that game. Though based on uniforms alone, I had to go with the Seahwaks - gotta love that green and blue!
~ After finally learning what "Super Bowl Squares" were, I tried my luck and bought one square for $10. Mostly because I'm much too cheap to spend money on something I still don't really get and too much of a pushover to not buy at least one. After receiving the numbers 8 and 5 for the first quarter, I wasn't feeling too optimistic. But somehow in the first 12 seconds the Seahawks pulled out a Safety and a field goal to actually get me a 5 which I thought was impossible (seeing as I have no idea what a Safety even is...). But, as in most of my attempts at gambling, it was all for naught since the darn Broncos decided to not show up for the Super Bowl. Seriously, all I would have needed was 4 touchdowns! Was that so much to ask?!
~ As in most years that the Ravens aren't playing, the half time show was definitely the highlight of the evening. I don't really get the whole Red Hot Chili Peppers crashing the awesome Bruno Mars spectacular, wearing no shirts and baggy pants, but I suppose it's a choice. Thankfully they weren't there long, and Bruno continued to rock out after they left. I only know 2 of his songs, but I have to admit, he was amazing!
~ The commercials, which are usually the highlight, were even so-so this year. The Doritos winner (Ellicott City native created this one for $300. Woohoo!), the Budweiser Best buds (cutest ad of the year, hands down!) the Cheerios family (Way to beat the haters from last year with the same super cute family!) and Ellen's Beats headphones were the best. Outside of that there just wasn't much there. The Coca-Cola commercial was sweet too. Though I can't believe that so many people are up in arms over them showing a diverse America. Isn't that why America is so great? People are allowed to speak different languages, practice different religions, believe in different ideologies. Grow up people! (Maybe Coke will beat their haters from last year like Cheerios did this year : )
~ While it was all around boring and the Seahawks truly deserved the win. They were most definitely the best team and their 12th man should feel proud. I'm assuming they're half the reason they won anyway. Before the game, John Harbaugh was talking to a reporter saying that fans aren't usually an issue in a Super Bowl because the stadium is pretty evenly split. I love John, but for yesterday's game I disagree wholeheartedly. That stadium was rocking and got considerably louder when the Seahawks took off.
