Why was there a 2 1/2 minute Tom Cruise commercial for the Super Bowl DURING the Super Bowl? ---

Dammit. I had the over (8 plays) on number of plays before Brady bitches about officiating. Didnt take long. ---

First possession ending in punt on to kc. Another punt following a wild scramble . ---

That was weak for an OPI call, agreed ---

I usually watch games on NFL+. Having to watch commercials is excruciating. ---

A good catch for the eagles. And touch down for the eagles! ---

The commercials have been terrible so far. Fox News really? One more of those and I’m just gonna turn the whole thing off. ---

But they’re Superbowl commercials. Superbowl commercials are 1/2 the fun of watching the game. ---

The Dunkin commercial was pretty good but it was fast like an episode of 30 Rock. You blink you miss half of what makes it funny. ---

Zebras having zero tolerance on shots to the head so far. Barkley having issues getting into his groove so far. ---

Helluva block by Barkley and a great play call. ---

> [@Fugazi](#): > > What’s up with the Fox graphics. Looks like something from the 1970s. It is pretty terrible. I’m onboard with the extra transparency but I have no idea why it’s so damn big. And I think there’s a point where minimalism goes too far. ---

When did it become “brotherly shove”? NFL didn’t like tush push. ---

> [@zimaane](#): > > That was weak for an OPI call, agreed I don’t really have an issue with it. It wasn’t egregious or anything but it was so far out in the open. Full extension and clearly visible to the entire stadium. Even if it wasn’t that big of an effect on the result play, when it’s obvious it’s obvious. ---
