From what I'm reading, he may have a whole new set of problems, if the story I'm hearing about his Tennessee days are accurate.JeffOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947660745120963286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281000668036619727.post-31771030300016186762016-02-12T07:40:08.285-05:002016-02-12T07:40:08.285-05:00The first part of your post made me laugh. Oh, wha...The first part of your post made me laugh. Oh, what great novels may have been lost over the years for want of a pen and notebook for writing down the idea!<br /><br />I missed the pizza kiss but caught the Bud comment when Manning was getting the trophy. I wondered if I'd misheard or if he'd taken a hard hit and wasn't thinking right. Nope, apparently just making some money on the side. I guess with his retirement approaching, he's gotta grab it where he can. Nonetheless, 99% of his interactions with the press have been humble and respectful, so I can forgive one low-class plug for beer. :PAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281000668036619727.post-64824952237309995072016-02-09T06:16:23.536-05:002016-02-09T06:16:23.536-05:00This comment brought to you by...

It's still annoying, though!<br />-Sheena-kay--I'm wondering if they're ever going to just drop the game and do nothing but advertisements, since that seems to be all anyone talks about in the end!<br />-Stacy--I didn't realize it was that warm, but I heard some complaints about the field being subpar.<br />-Donna--it's hard to say if it was a deliberate plug or not (I have since learned he owns a couple of Budweiser distribution companies, so while he's not an official spokesman (he can't be, as an active NFL player) for Bud, he's got skin in the game; likewise, he owns 20+ Papa John's restaurants). It looks a little hinky, though.<br />-Dan--I didn't watch the halftime show, but aside from you and Rudy Giuliani, I've heard mostly good things about Beyoncé. I'm not a big fan of her music, style-wise, but I seem to remember she put on a pretty impressive show a few years back.JeffOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947660745120963286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281000668036619727.post-31017101975129476362016-02-08T20:11:39.179-05:002016-02-08T20:11:39.179-05:00Not being a football fan, I tuned in only to catch...Not being a football fan, I tuned in only to catch the half time show, and the presentation of the trophy... I discovered two things: One - I don't understand the Beyonce fascination. Nope. Nu uh. I just don't get it. (but boy, can Bruno Marz can dance!) And two - Budweiser's ad people are officially out of ideas.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714152322365648659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281000668036619727.post-73256091828833285832016-02-08T10:46:19.308-05:002016-02-08T10:46:19.308-05:00Wow.

I personally think that's a little beyond, using the after game talk to plug a product, but maybe that's me.<br /><br />Post-it notes are my portable memory.

And it was warm (76 deg) in San Francisco. In February. What's up with that? I don't remember SF ever being that warm in the winter. <br /><br />I did notice Manning mention Budweiser a couple of times. Yeah, no different than saying "We're going to Disneyland." It's all about advertising anymore.Stacy McKitrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898731847653710759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281000668036619727.post-89856784693846765632016-02-08T09:42:39.200-05:002016-02-08T09:42:39.200-05:00Superbowl is not my thing.

I'm the worst for not writing ideas down, but I figure that the good ones will resurface eventually.
