Thank goodness this NFL season is over, especially these playoffs. Except for the Saints’ lone victory, every other playoff team I rooted for lost. Man, I hope this soggy game ends that crappy streak!
Oh, well. Next year.
I also must admit that when the Bears starting resembling the Cowboys, i.e., a team trying to survive without a real quarterback, I quit paying much attention, so I missed the TV ads. But from what I did see, I don’t think that’s necessarily bad.
My favorite national ad: Dave and Oprah. I really can see them as a couple. OK, maybe not. If you didn’t catch it, too bad. Since it was a CBS ad, it’s not included in this collection of XLI ads.
My favorite local one: Emmitt walking "Saturday Night Fever" style through an H.E.B. grocery store. OK, it’s not the best in the world, but at least there was a Cowboys connection in this year’s game. That and the announcement Saturday of Michael’s election to the Hall of Fame.
Now, only six months until training camp and we get to start counting down to XLII. Wish me better luck this coming season and post-season!

I’d forgotten about the Oprah and Dave commercial. They have a famous rivalry, or a feud, or something. Our local ads were wretched.
My Super Bowl was two weeks go when the Patriots lost. Great times.
On the whole the commercials were a little disappointing, I have to say. And really, after the first half, the game was pretty disappointing.
