    Coldplay is incredibly generic sounding. They can go away.

    Beyonce has some good songs, she can put on a good show.

    Bruno took a Morris Day song and made it his own. I like the song, but he doesn't impress me with originality. Decent performance, though.

    Bad show overall, but it's only because it didn't stand out. Nothing made it special.
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

      Considering that Beyonce is from Houston, should we just assume she'll be in next year's Super Bowl show too?

        So we've gone from telling kids we're going to Disney World to getting wasted? Small

        I liked Coldplay's first record a lot and still listen to it. However, they have become grown men swimming in pastels bobbing their heads to soft music as if they were instead Page and Plant. They are now dead to me.

        Mars' music barely resembles The Time outside of genre - Brent you might want to listen to more of his stuff.

          He'll get a lot of mileage out of uptown funk, but he's written other earworms as well. He wrote **** you for cee-lo, for instance.

          At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

          Canned music is a pathetic waste of your time.

            The lead singer should give that jacket back to the 12 yo girl he stole it from.

              It was nice to see him shut up and finally stop talking about himself in the postgame press conference/sulking session.

              Commercials: Not a ton of great ones but at least we didn't have a dead Nationwide kid commercial this year.

                A review of the SB ads.

                My grades:

                D Ryanville (for the song, else boring)
                C Commander (Bowie > your lousy car)
                B Walken (just for him)
                F Movin on Up (as irritating as Silicon Valley itself)
                C Key & Peele (glad they got a spot but they did nothing with it)
                C Avos (but one Scott Baio dick joke would have made this the winner)
                ? Dad-Do (didn't air in my market; looks like mawkish crap)
                B Queen (terrible concept rescued by great music)
                B Hopkins (hope they paid a lot Tony)
                B Dench (coolest grandma ever; no way she drinks that sh-t)
                C Babies (best concept of any SB ad ever, but inert and dull)
                B Pokeman (could have been better but nice Peek-A-Choo cameo)
                F Intestine (ew, yuck, gross, ew)
                ? Score More (didn't air in my market, happily)
                F Rocket Mortgage (Dr. Mrs. looked at me and said, "holy crap; they learned nothing!"
                C Manbearpigpuppymonkeybaby (gonna give the flyover states nightmares)
                B Weiner dogs (not in the write-up; obvious but still OK)
                F Not for Everybody (Bud's typical "I'm dumb and I'm proud and I drink swill" pandering to the orcs)

                Did I miss the annual Go Daddy misogyny ad?

                This was the worst year for ads I can remember, with not a single A.

                      That Doritos ad and the Prius bank robbery were my two favorites from the game, but neither were spectacular.

                        Peyton Manning should have sang the Nationwide jingle when asked what he's doing after the game.

                        {Nationwide Jingle}

                        Papa John's and Budweiser...

                        Would have made tons more from those three places than he did for the entire game.

                            Hated the ultrasound one, but that does remind me of the Ahnie one, which was good.

                            The Mike Tyson HVAC one aired locally for my market. That was the best ad all night.
