So, the SuperBowl has come and gone.

The halftime show was one of the best I’ve seen in a long time - Tom Petty and his posse proved that classics are timeless. And rocked that stage as only a true classic act can. Runnin’ Down a Dream - my favorite song by them - amazing live!

And the game. Gotta admit - it was a great, edge-of-your-seat tug-o-war game. The Giants struggled, scraped, and shimmied through the season as the underdog - and in the end, came away with well-earned bragging rights for the next year. Next up? The big parade down in the Canyon tomorrow. Expect utter mayhem.

But, what about those commercials!

My favorites …

There were other good ones: Fed Ex, Shaq, and Victoria’s Secret. And some were just plain boring: like cars. Now with Eli and Peyton both SuperBowl champs, and MVP winners - AND back-to-back no less - it’s a veritable feasting ground for the advertisers/marketers. Wonder what they’ll do with that?

What’s your take on the ads? Getting better? Worse? Which were your favorites?
