Mom’s thoughts on Super Bowl Ads

→  February 9th, 2010  →  Football Kevin Mom Opinion blog

So I just talked to my mom a while ago, and after reading my post about my favorite Super Bowl ads she decided to share her own favorites with me: her votes are for the sock puppets party for Kia, the steer running with the Clydesdale for Budweiser. She also, like me, didn’t understand the [...]

Super Bowl Commercial round up of 2010

→  February 8th, 2010  →  Football Kevin Opinion blog

The Super Bowl has come and gone with the Saints marching on as the victors. But there were other winners during last night’s game, and those were the companies who paid millions for advertising holy grail. And how did those commercials shape up? Here are my favorites, the ones I thought were mediocre and then [...]

Daddywisers #5

In honor of the Super Bowl, my dad sent me this for the Daddywiser this week: Rodger Staubach doesn’t have “Betty Davis Eyes”, but he does have Richard Nixon hair. – Dad

Why are there 108 balls being used in the Super Bowl?

→  February 7th, 2010  →  Football Kevin blog

Interesting that there are 108 balls, at least according to the announcer (if I heard that right) being used in tonight’s Super Bowl. Question #1 is why are there 108 balls when there probably won’t be 108 snaps and kicks, and Question #2 is does each person who played in the game get a game [...]

The Who play Super Bowl 2010 halftime show

→  February 7th, 2010  →  Football Kevin Music blog

OK, I am slightly impressed by The Who’s performance at the halftime show of Super Bowl XLIV. It was nice that they played good classic songs that I know. I especially enjoyed the live rendition of “Teenage Wasteland.” And “We Don’t Get Fooled Again” was especially appropriate to play on CBS because it also happens [...]

Best Super Bowl 44 commercials so far

→  February 7th, 2010  →  Football Kevin Opinion blog

I think the best commercials for the first half are as follows: Bud Light’s T-Pain Party commercial, the Budweiser bridge has gone out commercial and the recent one that Flo TV did with “Spineless boyfriend shopping.” Check back tomorrow afternoon for my round-up of the best commercials from Super Bowl XLIV. Or leave your comment [...]

Food for Super Bowl 44

→  February 7th, 2010  →  Football Kevin blog cooking

I love me some Super Bowl food. That was one of the reasons why I bothered to post my sausage ball recipe (not on my menu for the evening at the moment.) So when I sit down at 6:30 eastern for the big game’s kickoff between the Saints and the Colts (on CBS, in case [...]

Super Bowl, brought to you by…

→  February 5th, 2010  →  Football blog

Found on Kottke: What if famous directors like Quentin Tarantino or Wes Anderson directed The Super Bowl? The Kill Bill version of the Super Bowl is my favorite by far, mainly because the sound effects really don’t match the b-roll at all…

Super Bowl prediction

→  January 26th, 2010  →  Dad Family Football Kevin blog

Now that the final playoff games are over and done (and what a spectacular finish the New Orleans Saints gave viewers across the United States Sunday night) people have begun, as is their custom, to ask my opinion on the Super Bowl. As a side point, I find it interesting the two teams I predicted [...]

And there went the rest of my afternoon

→  January 17th, 2009  →  My Daily Life

In no time at all, I’ve found the perfect afternoon time waster: the last 30 some odd years of Super Bowl commercials. This one is my absolute favorite of all time.
