I'm actually really happy for Drew Brees and the epic failure that is New Orleans for their big win. The Bayou folks have been insanely lucky to have two big sports stars for their teams in Chris Paul and Drew Brees who actually care about their city. The Saints have long been the doormat for the NFC and to get a group of players to talk about the city and how much it means to the people who live there, not just how much it would mean to them was extremely refreshing.
I love the feel good story of Brees and how his shoulder came out of the bottom of his socket and the magic hands of Dr. James Andrews fixed him up and despite long odds and the Dolphins downright refusing to sign him to a contract, he recovered to lead the downtrodden ones to ultimate victory (Longest sentence without real punctuation ever). No need to cry for the Colts though, they'll resign Manning to the biggest deal ever and be in the same spot next year barring the impossible, Manning getting injured and Jim Sorgi failing epically.
The lack of decent commercials was really disappointing to me. I really didn't laugh at much of anything besides Betty White playing football, that was hilarious. I was surprised that Pepsi abstained from throwing a few million into the pot and having some crappy teen celebrity throw something together with them. Miller Lite didn't bring the wood at all either, which was shocking. GoDaddy.com kept up their played out shtick of hot women with Danica Patrick in provocative situations, BRILLIANT, but not shocking enough anymore. No unknown really stepped up and knocked it out of the park, though Audi's Green Police was really good, but calling them an unknown is rather dumb.
I just bought Inglorious Basterds, Public Enemies, and I Love you Man for 24 bucks at Blockbuster. Used DVD's, definitely my drug of choice. I have There Will be Blood, Strangers by Orson Welles, and Das Boot coming in the mail for $9.91 shipping included. Why? I really have no idea considering I have probably 8 movies I have bought, but never watched since owning them. I really need to pursue a career as a film critic and use them as a tax write-off.
