Super Bowl XLIII Recap

Solid game. The Cards get it going late, finally waking up and getting the ball to Larry Fitzgerald. The lead doesn't last for long though, as the Steelers drive back down and get an amazing catch from Santonio Holmes in the back corner of the end zone to go up for good.

The Cardinals played well, but the horrible officiating (it was bad, no questions asked) and the failed opportunities in the first half did them in. Oh, and why wasn't that last play reviewed? Seems kinda fishy.

Good 2nd half ads.
-Monster.com (the animal trophy in the room of the boss)
-CareerBuilder (the repetitions one, including the punching of a stuffed koala)
-Coke's picnic, where the insects steal his coke
-Usama Young NFL story
-Coca-Cola Zero, with Troy Polamalu taking his place in a twist on the classic
-Cash4Gold
-Pepsi's MacGruber commercial, with a great ending too

Movies?
-Race To Witch Mountain

What? (all night)
-Chuck's 1D commercials weren't very good. The show was fine though.
-NBC's lip-syncing spot.
-Budweiser focused on the horses too much this year... and they sucked.
-Heroes football spot was funny.
-Carlos Boozer for overstock. Ugh.
-Taco Bell made one mistake... I don't think it's recommended to woo a girl with Taco Bell.
