Super Bowl Sunday

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.

The Guy With The Glasses

This is Joshua Palau’s place for idle chit chat and witty banter on the world of Pop Culture, Entertainment, Sports and occasionally some professional thoughts. I’m a TV watching, comic reading, video game playing, New Yorker (who now lives in PA) - which makes the fact that I found a hot wife almost a greater achievement than the moonwalk.
