We watched the Super Bowl last night with our friends Catherine, Tom and Barbie. Here are just a few scatted thoughts from watching the event:
- I wonder if American Idol was fixed last season for this very moment. Was it really just coincidence that the winner of that FOX show, was from Glendale, AZ and had a dad who played in the NFL (on the Giants no less). Something fishy there.
- I would drink Bud Light if they hadn’t discontinued the fire-breathing and flying.
- Wow, SalesGenie just crammed about every Chinese stereotype into one commercial. That was horrifically offensive.
- Has the world been holding it’s breath to see Indy-car racer Danica Patrick exposed? I think GoDaddy missed the boat on that one.
- I totally called that the Hank the Clydesdale commercial was going into a Rocky montage. I now can recognize that music by the slow part that precedes the classic ba-dum-da-da-dum-da-da-dum-da-da-dum.
- I am hoping beyond hope that the Terminator robot disassembles that annoying Fox Sports robot.
- When the woman’s heart leapt out of her chest and held up a sign saying “I Quit”, Selena thought the woman had just died. CareerBuilder missed the boat too.
- The Patriots are letting the Giants hang around too long into this game. They need to blow this open real soon.
- Tom Petty?! Is there really no one out there with global name recognition that is actually relevant?
- Puppy Bowl is adorable and interested for 4.3 seconds, then it gets annoying (but you can go back later for another 4.3 seconds).
- Who’s the coach of the Giants now, is it the skinny dude with glasses? It must be, they’ve panned to him 12 times and Tom Coughlin only once.
- I can envision the entire debacle of a creative process that resulted in the LifeWater ad. (I’ll dive into it on my professional blog here.)
- DELL went old school: use this and you’ll be popular and hot chics will walk up to you in the street and make out with you. Awesome.
- The Giants are now actually winning. It’s time to stop the insanity and end this, Patriots.
- Why is Payton up there by himself? Is it like in high school when you don’t want to be seen sitting with your parents?
- So is Dr. House going to go to Antarctica or going to sit in his office and play his guitar? I’m not getting how these clips go together.
- That’s the Patriots offense we thought would show up tonight.
- I am predicting an Eli interception to ice the game for the Pats here.
- I really don’t like that Plaxico Burress.
- This is undignified, just run off the one second and end the game.
- The best team in football will not be wearing championship rings. That’s the Any Given Sunday one-and-done style of NFL playoffs.

Can I have an Amen to that Terminator destroying the Fox-bot, it’s time for Ann Coulter to be put away.
Oh no….did you not want the Giants to win? Sorry!
Since my team got knocked out a game earlier, I had to respect their playing and cheer for them. So I was happy to see the Giants win…
Hi Greg! Sorry, I was pulling for the Giants, so I liked the ending. I did wonder about Payton in the skybox w/ no friends-what was that about?
Mark and I are looking for the Budweiser bottle opener from the caveman ad-it looked so weildy and useful!
Hypothetical question, Greg: If Tom Brady impregnated every girl you know and hold dear, would that make the Giants win a little easier to stomach?
My team (E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!) didn’t even get to the playoffs, but their arch-rival is either Dallas or the Giants depending how the wind is blowing (never Washington, hmmm, I need to do a post on that), so I just couldn’t bring myself to support the G-men.
Well, Tom Brady has superhuman reproductive powers that are beyond his control. I can’t fault him for that. It’s like Daniel Day Lewis would say: “If Greg has a milkshake and Tom Brady has a milkshake and Tom Brady has a straw and his straw reaches across the room and starts to drink Greg’s milkshake, He drinks Greg’s milkshake! He drinks it up!”
I feel like that should offend me…
But you said milkshake, and I stopped thinking about the rest of that sentence.
But let it be noted that Greg Robleto would let Tom Brady drink his milkshake.
Hahahaha… I am highly amused by how the the blogsters’ comments have degenerated into some sort of analogy having to do with Tom Brady enjoying Greg’s milkshake.
May we pause for a moment of worship, as we all stare at the top of our monitors to our NY Giants mini-helmets… oh, is that just me…?
I didn’t think so- YEAH SCOTTE!! YEAH KATIE O!!! YEAH SELENA!!!!
Thank you. I am finished.
Oh, and Greg- this is not Princeton- will you please stop shouting that freaking fight song.
p.s. in actual relevance to the original post, many of the same thoughts were echoed at the Bradshaw Super Bowl gathering- too many to mention individually, actually, but I will say that I heart Plaxico Burress and his badass height and abilities.
Selena, how did your wings turn out??
Woo hoo! The wings turned out well. But next time, I will definitely grill rather than roast.
for some reason mine were not as spicy as I remember… did you end up marinating in everything overnight? I only marinated in the hot sauce, then basted with the rest on the grill- to Jeff’s chagrin, as he is still cleaning it- maybe that was the problem…?
I marinated it in everything in the end, and they still weren’t as spicy as I remembered. But I like it not as spicy. Our wings were too big though.
I’ll bet Tom Brady’s a wing man. He would have liked our wings. And then we would have been pregnant.
By the way, can we talk about the Superbowl commercial where they took one of the scariest villains on network TV right now (T-bag from Prison Break) and had him show up on a football field and get knocked down in some funny ha ha spoof-like fashion? It single-handedly brought down his scariness level from 10 to like, minus 7 for me!
