It is only one week away. Seven days. Where will you be?
The annual ritual that is Super Bowl Sunday lands seven days
from now, February 5th. It is the day that grown men will collide
and crash in to each other with the purpose being to get an oval shaped pigskin
ball across a line to score points. The team with the most points wins the
Lombardi Trophy, which bears no resemblance to a bowl.
But that is really just the sideshow…
Super Bowl Sunday is all about entertainment. Many people
tune in just for the halftime show, this year’s features Madonna. Past years
have featured artists such as the Rolling Stones, Prince, Paul McCartney, Tom
Petty, Bruce Spingsteen, the Black Eyed Peas and who could for get Janet
Jackson.
Then there are the commercials, everyone wants to see the
commercials. Super Bowl advertising is where creative license is let loose and
companies pay huge amounts for 30 seconds of airtime. In my opinion last year’s
big winner was the VW spot
with a young Darth Vader, Brand Bowl
gave the nod to the Chrysler ad Imported from Detroit
featuring Eminem. Big brands compete just as hard for attention with these
commercials as the players on the field do for the Super Bowl.
The brands however get immediate reaction to their spot via
social media, positive or negative, and know if they have a winner. The players
have to play 60 minutes to determine their outcome.
This year’s game, if anyone is interested, is being played
in Indianapolis by the New England Patriots and the New York Giants. It is a
rematch of the 2008 championship when the Giants stunned New England and handed
them their only lose of the year. My guess is that will serve as motivation for
the New England squad this year.
Are there any Colts fans out there looking forward to seeing
the Patriots
logo painted on the Colts home field as much as I am?
