If you're looking for highlights of the more traditional variety, try here, here or here. For a more lighthearted wrap-up (of the commercials mostly, since my beloved Jets didn't make it to the big game), read on:
2. Nick Collins' unbelievable interception-turned-touchdown (punctuated with a leap) with just over three minutes left in the first quarter was pretty amazing. (Also, was it really necessary to call unsportsmanlike conduct after that? Really?)
3. There were so, so many Doritos commercials. Speaking of which -- the rug onto which Mikey's roommate accidentally knocked an urn? It's from West Elm. I have it in brown.
4. That claymation-esque (?) version of Eminen (Lipton Brisk Iced Tea commercial) looked nothing like Eminem. (right??)
5. Thanks, but no thanks to the "real time Facebook status updates" feature that now comes with the Chevy Cruze. Not only does that sound unnecessary, it also sounds dangerous.
6. Adrien Brody's ode to Stella Artois? I could listen to it all day.
7. Am I the only one who got a little choked up by the Detroit/Chrysler commercial? (Which, incidentally, marked Eminem's second appearance in a Super Bowl commercial.) Let's hear it for the Motor City.
8. I was sad to see Charles Woodson exit the game after the first half. I cannot believe this season marked his 13th in the league. I still remember watching him play at Michigan during his Heisman Trophy season (I'm filing this memory away under "signs I'm getting old").
9. How funny was Aaron Rodgers' face after Ben Roethlisberger's pass to Mike Wallace for a touchdown with under 8 minutes to go in the game?
10. So Dr. House is the "Mean" Joe Green of 2011? Interesting.
And that's all I got. Congratulations to the Green Bay Packers on winning Super Bowl XLV!
