Super Bowl MVP- Hunter Smith

Commercials:

• A standard KFC commercial for $2.6 million per 30 seconds? The Colonel could at least spring for something original, or extra crispy.
• Too many car commercials. If cars disappeared tomorrow, so would half of the ad agencies, the Sunday Star Tribune would weigh less than its current 22 lbs, and I'd have to get a horse or llama.
• The Coke commercial for black history was like something out of a Wal-Mart history textbook. Was that the best they could do? They took the safe route. I think everyone they mentioned by name is dead. Although I do give them credit for a subtle nod to Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith. At the end of the commercial they say "honoring black history- especially today." Or am I giving them too much credit?

Game:

Football in the rain, usually sucks. People watch to see the big boys make plays. When you play in slop, everyone is equal. Jeff Saturday could line up in the backfield and plod for four yards.

Chicago is on their heels early in the 4th quarter. Their offense stinks. Rex Grossman looks like Daunte Culpepper when blitzed.

Rex Grossman- just had a pick returned for a touchdown. He's going to get ripped in Chicago. The problem is ...

Chicago's Offense. They have no playmakers. Bertrand Berrian is Alvin Harper reincarnated. Mushin Muhammed had his best years with Carolina. Their offense is about 10% better than the Vikings. Without their defense and Devin Hester the Packers win the NFC North.

The game I wanted to see: San Diego vs. New Orleans.
