I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before, allowing an opposing TD to keep more time on the clock. Oops. ---

I thought the Twinkies tie-in was a nod to Zombieland. Maybe I’m reaching though. ---

Well, this has been tons of fun and thanks to everyone for playing! I’m off to watch the episode of Downton Abbey that was taping while the Super Bowl was on. Later!

Thanks for pointing that out. ---

> [@asterion](#): > > Super Bowl XXXII, when the Packers let the Broncos score the TD with TD. Thanks. I didn’t see that one. My personal top three adverts for the night: 1. VW Beetle, dog working out so it can chase the car 2. Acura, NSX ad with Seinfield ‘n’ Leno 3. Totota, Camry “reinvented” ad. Hmm, all for automobiles, whatever that may mean. Cheers, all. ---

I took the Elton John Pepsi commercial to be a take off of the Golden Globe tiff where he thought Madonna shouldn’t get the award. No Golden Globe for you… The Bud Light Wego commercial made me laugh out loud ---

The Motley Crue dream car Optima commercial is also worth an honorable mention. ---

Great game, but the ad’s were boring mostly. The singer in the Elton John commercial is the X factor winner, Melanie Amaro (I think). I liked the Doritos ad with the dog and cat. ---

Anybody see the Jack in the Box commercial with the lack of sound? Occurred in 2nd quarter, then they replayed it (correctly) about an hour later. Given the punchline in the Acura Seinfeld/leno commercial, they should have replaced Seinfeld with Conan O’Brian. ---
