Ramblings and Junk

So this weekend is Super Bowl Sunday with two teams playing that I could care little about.  I will still watch the entire game, if it is not an Indianapolis blow out in the first half, and even if it is I will keep it on and be in the 51% of viewers who watch purely for the commercials.

Can you believe that?  I don’t have a citation for that stat, I just heard it on CNN the other night while sitting in the airport and since I got to see the story 3 times, I remember it was 51%.  I know these aren’t big market teams, but that number still seems very high to me.  If I wasn’t traveling right now, I would TiVo the game just to re-watch any of the commercials that are good, I am a geek and an advertising geek as well.

My prediction for Sunday, 31-28, Saints win in a close one and stop the great Peyton Manning game winning drive short of a touchdown and out of field goal range.

And one more thing, I bet the Tim Tebow ad sucks monkey balls.
