Super Bowl XLVI Wrap up

Although I am a huge football fan and was more into the actual game than the commercials or halftime show, I did come up with a few observations during the event:

#1. Tom Brady is way too tan for a man who lives in New England and just spent the past week in Indianapolis, Indiana. I imagine him and his super model wife Giselle have a spray tan machine in their house and take turns spraying each other down.

#2. The costume Elton John wore in his Pepsi commercial had to have been something from his closet at home. Right down to the gold platform high heels.

#3. Bill Belichick is just not a happy man. (Course he didn't have a whole lot to be happy about last night.)

#4. The camera did not show Peyton Manning the entire game. Which can only mean one of two things, he either stayed home and watched the game from his couch. Or he was there wearing that awufl wig and mustache he wore for the Sprint commercial a few years back.

#5. Cee Lo Green is the black Elton John

#6. Betty White is the funniest damn broad on the planet

#7. How many times were they going to have to call "12 men on the field"? Only 11 players are allowed on the field at one time, something they should know by now.

#8. Tom Brady IS in fact a cry baby.

#9. The dude bouncing up and down on the tight rope during Madonna's halftime show has got to be sore today.

#10. The shiny Lombari Trophy becomes disgustingly filthy with greasy sweaty fingerprints after being passed around during the celebration.


Halftime Show:

And now for my Halftime Show Review. Before I begin I have to say it wasn't one of my favorites but I don't remember a halftime show that was completely awesome. Although the shows by Prince and Tom Petty were pretty close.

Madonna rocked it of course. She made it seem like we were watching an HBO special from one of her tours. The costumes, sets, and a troop of back up dancers made you forget they were at a football game. I have many thoughts on her performance. She sounded good, but was obviously lip syncing. Nonetheless, still entertaining from start to finish whether you liked it or not.
When it started I was confused as to why she had a gladiator theme for "Vogue". What do gladiators have to do with striking a pose? Hmmm.
During the "Music" number I felt like I was watching a 3D movie without my glasses on. LMFAO's appearance was really short. And "Party Rock Anthem" seemed slower and a bit awkward. Then again, Madonna jumping on the one dude's shoulders was enough to make it awkward. Again, I have to say, Hmmm. But watching Madonna sing "Sexy and I Know It" was pretty great though. Is there any better song for her, honestly?
The Drum Line part I didn't quite get. Sure it was interesting, but I felt like it didn't go at all. Bad transitions into it and out of it.
Over all I did kind of wish she would have done more of her 80s material, but loved how she brought it all home with "Like a Prayer". A Tim Tebow guest cameo during that song would've made it even better, but instead she had Cee Lo Green accompany her. Big voice for such a little dude who looked very comfortable in a very sparkly choir robe.
All in all, I think she accomplished what people were expecting out of a halftime show. Over-the-top sets, back up dancers, guest singers, and choreographed lip syncing for 8 minutes.
