And what was with all the commercials with dudes in underwear? Seemed like 3 or 4 different brands had that mixed into their ad...something weird going on at the ad agencies, fo sho.<br /><br />Although, the one in the &quot;casual dress friday&quot; office was pretty funny.<br /><br />Re: the game itself (oh yeah, the game.) I laughed at Phil Simms late in the game (before the pick-6) when he said, &quot;you know, Jim, one thing you can say about this Saints team is they played their style tanight. win or lose, they played Saints football.&quot; I&#39;m sure if they lost that game (having gone for it on 4th and goal, the onsides kick, etc) there would be doubters as to the &#39;style&#39;.<br /><br />Nevertheless, hats off to Payton for having the juevos to gamble as frequently and as monumentally as he did. Amazing. Just seemed like there was more at stake for Payton and the Saints.<br /><br />Oh, and I&#39;m glad somebody&#39;s keeping track of pitchers and catchers reporting.<br /><br />Personally, I&#39;m excited to be in Seattle all summer so I can see the M&#39;s in person.Bitnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17092569082339833528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5025865886265717993.post-85875007748937912122010-02-08T11:45:28.125-08:002010-02-08T11:45:28.125-08:00At least two of us (poll) thought the Saints would win. And given how the Colts were moving the ball, I didn&#39;t disagree with the call (while it was still undetermined who got the ball). Their playcalling and defense (gives up lots of yards, but somehow scores 10 TDs) is about risk and making plays, even, as you said, failure sometimes results (the D gets moved on pretty easily, for example).<br /><br />I also thought that green ad was horrible and at first thought it was a political message of some sort. The census ad? Those two ads, along with the &#39;let&#39;s spend 10 million to let everyone know that we&#39;re going to give away food (more marketing $) and piss off impatient people who are looking for a free meal&#39; ad were horrible and the ad agencies should be sued for negligence.Zarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07342376501887474097noreply@blogger.com
