Super Bowl winners and losers

So I didn't have a ton of heart, money, or total interest in the big game but it turned out to be a great game! The 4th quarter was really compelling...could the Patriots play like garbage for 3 quarters and actually win the game, or were the heavily un-favored Giants actually going to knock off Goliath and prevent the "perfect" season. The Giants won, David Tyree and Eli Manning both made outstanding plays on their final scoring drive to make it all happen (especially the ball to helmet catch by Tyree as Eli just about got sacked and somehow heaved the ball in his direction).

As for the commercials there were a few that I really liked, but most off them looked like money well wasted to me. Here was my favorite from Sobe, (open the 2nd quarter section, third row down second commercial from the left) it is a slow starter...but I like the dancing lizards. Second place goes to the screaming squirrel in the first quarter (second row down, second from left), and the third place goes to the commercial for Planters peanuts and the lady with the uni-brow (is she digging a wedgee out at the last second of the commercial?) (second quarter, bottom row, 2nd from the left). I thought the baby in front to the computer talking was pretty good, till he threw up...then it was just gross. And I wasn't a fan of the Doritos commercial where the guy sets up a mousetrap and a guy in a mouse costume busts through the wall and pummels him. Sydney loved the mouse until he started punching the guy, then she got confused.

Grandpa Tom's favorite was the mouse too ;-)

No honorable mention for the Victoria Secret's commercial?

I don't watch football much, but that game was great.

I loved the mouse / Doritos commercial. But the sound in the Copper Mtn Bar was not very good.
