Greetings and welcome back to The Un-Zone, the only site on the Internet devoted to all things related to Un. It's time to do one of those semi-regular updates to this website so you know that I'm still alive in some manner or another.
The Colts won, 29-17. Peyton Manning continued his streak of relatively poor (at least when compared to regular season games) performance in playoff games. Well, unlike many of his previous playoff games, the Colts managed to win...at least this year.
Rex Grossman...man, they should have played somebody else as QB. He was an excellent quarterback in college, but in the NFL, that's a different story. He's like a Jekyll/Hyde and you don't know which one will show up at game time. The Good Rex (if you can call it that) is relatively efficient and mistake free. Sure, his completions and other states aren't as gaudy as Peyton Manning, but he gets the job done. The Bad Rex is the fumble/interception machine that makes Trent "The Tr-interception" Green look like Joe Montana or any all-time great QBs. OK, not that great, but when Grossman is bad, it gets really ugly. And it makes you think that Trent Green isn't all that bad (at least for a hardcore KC Chiefs fan). And last night, instead of being a T-Rex eating the competition, he was a massive train wreck. Not that pretty. The only thing consistent about his game yesterday was the inevitable sacks, hurries, and interceptions that people associate with his er...style of play on a bad day. It kind of makes the Arizona debacle (the Bears won due to Arizona's incompetence and the Chicago defense despite the SIX QB mistakes) look good in comparison.
Who decided that Peyton Manning should have been the MVP of Super Bowl XLI? His game wasn't that great despite the numbers. Addai, the running back should have gotten that honor. His running game was great and his receiving was pretty good. He got the Colts first downs when they needed them.
I like the commercials during the Super Bowl. In some cases, they're more interesting than the game itself. But this year, they weren't that super. Some of the commercials made me wonder who was the moron who thought their ad was worth $2.6 million. In previous years, a number of them were laugh-out-loud funny. This year, they were lacking something...like humor or production skills or any semblance of being interesting.
There were too many car commercials and all of them made me want to change the channel. They are boring and there are too many of them already on television. Plain and simple. Please, car companies, don't bother with car commercials during the Super Bowl. I and many others have had enough of them already. The Doritos commercials were lame or annoying. The online contest video was lame. The excited cashier one wanted to make me slap the cashier and the ad agency people who came up with that lousy ad. I still remember the Doritos commercial featuring Ali Landry and the laundromat. That was a good ad. What was up last night, not that good. The Sierra Mist commercials sucked. The fat guy is getting annoying. Stop it. Stop it. Now. Who the hell thought up the Revlon commercial? That was bad.
There were some good commercials. The Bud Light/Budweiser commercials, as usual, were funny. They managed to be funny and interesting. One of them, the foreigners learning English, was definitely politically incorrect, but it had humor. Companies wanting to sell their products in Super Bowl ads should use the ad marketing firms that Budweiser/Bud Light use. Or they should follow their formula for what a funny Super Bowl ad should be (no farting horses, please). The CareerBuilder commercials had humor. The jungle metaphor was good, but at times, got a little too tedious.
To sum up, the Colts won. Grossman outdid himself and pulled another Grossman. The Super Bowl ads, for the most part, were like a $2 blowjob from a whore in Bangkok. Basically, the ads sucked badly and weren't worth the money or the experience. I think they should have a blacklist of companies that should not be allowed Super Bowl ad time, no matter how much they pay. It should make the entire Super Bowl experience a whole lot better.
That's all for now.
