Most Over-Hyped Event in History Over for Another Year

The Superbowl ended with Green Bay Packers defeating Pittsburgh Steelers 31-25 in a game that had its share of excitement.  However, the Superbowl is more than a football game, with extravaganzas and analasys before and after, and the traditional singing of the National Anthem by an  entertainment celebrity of varied talent.  This year the honor went to Christina Aguilera, who gave the song her own style and forgot one verse.  This should teach sponsors of similar events to stop the practice of having singers who insist on turning the anthem into a parody featuring their particular style.  Instead have it sung by performers who do their best to sing the words and music as written

Ads are naturally a big and necessary part of the Superbowl, with ad agencies striving to come up with a message that will attract attention.  My personal opinion is taken as a whole the ads were lacking in humor and in effectiveness.  Some borderd on obscenity.  Government Motors must have gotten some more taxpayer money;
they had several ads, those ads didn't come cheap.
