Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

Make Your Prediction: The Super Bowl

Since there is nothing for baseball news, give us your guess for the winner and the final score of the football game, and anything else you'd like to take a guess at, like how many times they turn the camera to Peyton Manning.

I'll guess 30-24 Patriots. And more shots of Payton manning that I can count.

This is my vote for best Super Bowl commercial of the year.

24-21 Giants in OT

Yeah, I know there has never been a Super Bowl that went into OT, but I’m going with it anyway.

why did they name this sport FOOTBALL?

“lets go play some football” throws a NON-CIRCULAR ‘ball’ with HAND

by llello.loves.ace on Feb 5, 2012 5:27 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

“a round or roundish body, of various sizes and materials, either hollow or solid, for use in games, as baseball, football, tennis, or golf.”

by benk on Feb 5, 2012 5:33 PM EST up reply actions  

lots of balls aren't circular

and you don’t throw a baseball with a base

by benk on Feb 5, 2012 5:30 PM EST up reply actions  

It sure would be fun to watch, though

legitimately curious

what other balls are not spherical? also the ‘you don’t throw a ball with a base’ reply is the best rebuttle ive ever gotten by anyone for that statement :)

by llello.loves.ace on Feb 5, 2012 5:40 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

rugby ball, for one

which isn’t surprising, since American football seems to have derived from rugby football (according to Wiki, “rugby” is actually called “rugby football”)

by benk on Feb 5, 2012 5:43 PM EST up reply actions  

never really thought of rugby having a ball, always referred to it as a ‘rugby’ :p but fair enough. very interesting that rugby is actually rugby football, never heard that before. wiki knows all.

Rugby

is named after a town in England where it was invented..Football has nothing to do with kicking a ball. It just means the game is played on foot, compared to the noble medieval games that were played on horseback…thus, so many different games of the same name.

by Lutherie on Feb 6, 2012 1:19 AM EST up reply actions  

it does have to do with kicking a ball

the game has evolved such that the optimal strategy involves rarely kicking it

Bowls?

For some weird reason they sometimes show those contests live on Eurosport.

That commercial...

is placed in an arena that is a 5 minutes walk from where i live.

In AA we trust.

nope

still cool as a cucumber

+1 is only good if you actually rec the post

by Bowling_Guy25 on Feb 6, 2012 12:34 AM EST up reply actions  

I think it was fake.

Overall don’t like the commercial. I’m in the minority I think.

I loved it

there is a “making of” commercial too. it’s probably not going to change your mind if you didn’t like it, but I thought it was a great idea

by benk on Feb 6, 2012 10:14 AM EST up reply actions  

I just don't understand why that makes me want to buy their beer anymore than before.

Which is supposed to be what commercials accomplish in the end.

it makes me like AB-Inbev more than before

not by much anyway, but I’m not a particularly responsive person to advertising

by benk on Feb 6, 2012 12:31 PM EST up reply actions  

It shouldn't

Interbrew (predecessor to Inbev) were partially responsible for the decline in the Jays in the late 90s after they bought out Labatt’s

Or just have a third straight day of midterms tomorrow.

Doc Halladay’s note you suggested seems like a good idea.

I quite like the fact that Madonna’s half time show was a giant gay athem.

by dexfarkin on Feb 6, 2012 2:21 AM EST reply actions  

the best part was MIA giving the middle finger and the editor missing the blur by about a second. That and the generic WORLD PEACE right after was quite hilarious.

by hoph on Feb 6, 2012 9:58 AM EST up reply actions  

CTV is the worst

Seeing crappy local commercials for http://www.waterloogaragedoors.com during the superbowl was probably the worst idea ever. Only good commercial the whole night was that rec hockey one, and I don’t even like hockey.

by hoph on Feb 6, 2012 9:57 AM EST reply actions  

That M&Ms commercial was awesome…

Here's my attempt at a witty sig. Didn't really go so well, methinks.

Wise men wonder, while strong men die.
