Super Bowl wrap-up

Highlights:

- Drew Brees holding his son after the game...and getting emotional about the moment.

- An onside kick in a Super Bowl which didn't occur in the final couple of minutes.

- The "Who Dat" Nation out in full force.

- The Who, one of the best live rock-and-roll acts ever, rockin' it at halftime.

- The Dove for Men, Audi "Green Police" and Dave/Oprah/Jay commercials.

- A beautiful night in south Florida.

Lowlights:

- A low, low lowlight--the advertising. You have to really question the investments being made by brands on advertising which isn't even funny and entertaining, much less a compelling message. This year's theme seemed to be "lets show men in their tighty whitey underwear."

- Dropped passes by the usually reliable Pierre Garcon and Reggie Wayne of the Indianapolis Colts.

- Did I say the advertising?

- The CBS halftime crew. One, there are too many guys talking over one another. And, Shannon Sharpe is like fingernails on a chalkboard.

- The "much adieu about nothing" hubbub about the Tim Tebow spot for Focus On the Family. The words "abortion," "pro-life," or "God" were not included anywhere in the commercial, although the spot did direct viewers to the Focus On the Family website.

- And, one more time--the advertising. Yuck!
