Meh. Don't dislike either team, can't get excited about them either.

Thoughts so far.

Who in the world chose the Seahawks music?

3 times to hit mute this superbowl- any time Bob Costas speaks, Katy Perry, and any time Bob Costas speaks.

Nice job on the National Anthem but the crowd was disrespectful. I understand the cheering when our troops were on the big screen, but then booing Belichick during the anthem was low class.

I want to see Jurassic World!!!!

I really was hoping Anonymous hacked the Super Bowl with that Chevy commercial.

"Ball Checker" - worst job title in the NFL.

Ironically, also the nickname for Bob Costas' assistant.

Used to love Super Bowl Sundays. Been a long time, though – since the 49ers and Joe Montana (with the coolest name in football history) dominated the 80s – since I been excited by football.

LOVE the amputee commercial for Toyota.

Boston Tea Party Turbo Tax commercial was... well, interesting.

In our house, it has turned into a big snark fest. Like watching Mystery Science Theater 3K.
That, and a shrimp boil big enough to feed a SEAL team, for just the two of us.

Yeah, I saw that info at NFL.com. And no, I'm not with Verizon or other wireless carrier, yet. Just a Fios high-speed Internet connection.

That's okay. The NFL website usually has a nice interactive display to follow along with.

Snickers commercial with Danny Trejo and the Brady Bunch was really funny.

Color analyst just said that the Patriots are smothering the Seahawks in man-on-man coverage. There's no place for Wilson to throw.

We finally got smart this year and got an antennae. Yeah, an antennae. We pick up 23 local, network and public broadcasting channels - and that was just putting it by the window. After the initial cost to buy the antennae - there are no other costs. We get NBC free, so we're able to watch the game. I think you have to have a pretty new TV to be able to do it though.

I had forgotten how stupid network tv is in the daytime.

But I do enjoy the PBS stations!

I feel like such a clone! Why haven't I thought of that? What a great idea. I live in a major metropolitan area; there are surly plenty of broadcast stations available. I can't believe I hadn't thought of it! Goes to show how cable and satellite has replaced broadcast for information and entertainment for a growing segment of society.

In NYC? Oh, my goodness. You will be SHOCKED at how much free TV there is in that city.

Patriots started out the better team, but the Seahawks have made just enough big plays in the passing game to keep this competitive.

Truthfully, that's the first time I've ever heard her sing and perform. It was colorful and all - but I don't know - are these songs that have been hits for her? I didn't get that, I thought the songs were pretty mediocre. Maybe the sound effects of a packed stadium didn't help...

The only good part was the 15 seconds of Lenny Kravitz and that didn't even showcase is brilliant guitar playing. I thought it closer to Idiocracy in sports.

My wife, on the other hand, is bouncing around the house like Tigger in Winnie the Poo singing. Oh well. that says everything.

Yeah, most of those were her big hits.

She's not a great singer, but she is a show(wo)man and that set was Perry at her finest.

Patriots were beat, and Wilson throws an interception. Dumb call, but Brady and Co. didn't play that great of a game.

In my view, they should have both lost. Belicheck is a known cheater, and Pete Carroll cost USC five years of bowl appearances with his recruiting violations before he snuck out of town head of the NCAA sheriff.

Brady was lucky. Not good, but lucky.

Brady threw two interceptions that led to points. He was lucky.
