I apologize to any Skirt!setters that have already written what I am about to write (I did not look to far into the previous blogs).

I am a fan of football. I am a fan of laughter. I am a fan of the Superbowl for both of these reasons.

This year was an exciting year for the football part of it. The Saints had never been in a Superbowl before. Everyone favored the Colts to win. I was routing for the underdog. Mainly because they were the underdog but also because the Colts are an arch nemesis of my home team. I was hoping that if the Saints won the Superbowl, New Orleans could start getting back their tourist revenue to where it was before Hurricane Katrina.

The Saints started off proving everyone who favored the Colts right. However, within the FIRST SECOND of the second half, they turned things around. They kept it up to come back with an exciting win against the Colts!

I usually walk away from the TV, flip the channel, fast forward, or mute the TV during commercials of regular TV shows. But for the Superbowl, I do not move from my seat unless it's an emergency - or a dire need to pee!

Perhaps I just had too high of expectations, but the commercials this year seemed to be quite disappointing. First of all, I had seen so many of them in the months prior to the Superbowl. It used to be that the Superbowl was when commercials were premiered.

Mainly, my disappointment comes because so many of the commercials started off with such potential and then just bombed. After many commercials I remember thinking "I could've taken this commercial somewhere so much more humorous." And I'm not even in the advertising business!

Don't get me wrong, some of them were good. The Snickers commercial with Betty White and Abe Bagota was hilarious. The Bud Light and Doritos commercials were good -and in good competition with each other. But overall I was not impressed this year with the commercials.

Go Saints!
