Hi friends! Happy Superb Owl Sunday!
I watched the puppy bowl today earlier and it was lovely. Soooo much fun watching puppies gambol about.
I’m such a cryer I happy cried a bunch, too.
Side note – I think it’s the only time you can watch 3 hours of Animal Planet and not see one of the ASPCA or Humane Society commercials.
Anyhoo, if anyone wants to do live commentary on the big game or the commercials, etc, knock yourselves out below.
I’ll check scores to see how things are going, but I’m not even a borderline footbawl fan these days. I guess watching guys get their brains beaten to a pulp isn’t something I enjoy anymore (same applies to hockey and I used to enjoy that.)
Clock management idiot called a timeout on 3rd and two in an attempt to get the ball back before the end of the half which panned out exactly as everyone but Andy Reid knew it would and the refs, who are likely cheering for Brady, gave the Bucs a TD with two pass interference penalties on uncatchable balls…other than that you’re not missing much.
I read that in the voice of the auctioneer who’s on the Letterkenny Recreatin Center Council.
I really really enjoyed the puppy bowl. Highly recommend!
Did you see the hound mix named Apollo on Team Ruff? Looks just like my girl as a pup.
Awww! That’s so cute!
We met a couple of them last year — they were part of the rescue organization where my wife volunteers.
So far game sucking & commercials not very impressive. Rocket mortgage best one so far. Mahomes is off his game.
KC’s defense needs to figure their shit out and stop getting penalties called on them
They really want Brady to win! Some of those were NOT penalties!
I’ve spotted a couple things from the Bucs where I’m like is horse-collaring not a penalty in the NFL? Or facemask grabbing? I stick to NCAA football so maybe the penalty rules are different?
This is why I stopped watching the game at the half. The KC Defense was doing absolutely everything they could to lose the fucking game. I wouldn’t mind Tampa Bay winning if they had outplayed KC, but KC is simply losing the game by playing stupid, unwatchable football. I did something much more enjoyable: shoveling the driveway.
I liked the M & Ms commercial.
I really don’t want to see Tom Fucking Brady win any more jewelry.
As a Missourian, I would prefer the Chiefs to win.
As a human being, I would prefer Brady to lose.
A college friend just posted a pic of Brady on facebook with the caption –
Don’t worry about your diet today, It’s my cheat day too
AHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHA
That “Dr. Squatch” men’s soap ad… was like a kmart version of those Old Spice ads.
WOW CBS make another fucking commercial for your Clarice show
tied maroon 5 for worst halftime show ever.
fight me
Yeah when the marching band* dudes came out I was like “oh goody the escaped plastic surgery patients are out on the field, this is more entertaining now” you know it’s bad
*I realize they did not have instruments but the way they navigated the field says they spent a lot of years counting steps in marching band
I saw the commercial for the puppy bowl that said it was on Discovery+ so I just assumed it wasn’t watchable anymore without a subscription. Kinda annoyed now that I missed it?
It’s so lovely to not give a s#^% about American football today, and to not need to indulge anyone who does.
Wow that Jeep commercial with Bruce Springsteen was fucking stupid
“here’s this place right in the middle where people can meet in the middle” — but only if you’re in the continental 48, otherwise you don’t count
P.S. here’s a fuckton of Christian imagery with a white man as the only person speaking, but hey we’re totes a Jeep ad
Sounds even more insufferable than the average car commercial.
My friend and I were texting and she asked who the dude was since he seemed familiar, and I texted back that I thought it was a knock-off Bruce Springsteen… except turns out it was actually him!
Lots of folks on Twitter last night were talking about that ad, and regarding the whole “meet in the middle” bit, the biggest consensus seemed to be reminding jeep that we’re dealing with Nazis… and that the *last* time around, Jeep helped us fight the Nazis… not “meet them in the middle”… because NAZIS.
😒😒😒
I guess their key demographic now is rural/exurban white boomer men scared of social change.
