So the chili is made and I'm just about to put the wings on the grill. Brownies just came out of the oven and the other snack stuff is already out. Already 2 beers in. Looking forward to some great....

commercials....

Hope the team you bet on wins. I could care less who wins as long as it's not a lopsided game

One of the better super bowls I've seen, right down to the wire. First time I've ever where a runner did NOT want to score, that was interesting. Good game and the commercials were decent.

Now I need to check out the caddy AST....

The Fiat back-story makes the commercial even better. Fiat fired the woman in charge of marketing in the US because they felt the ads were geared too much towards women (remember the first J-lo commercials?). They put a guy in charge - and you saw what he came up with. :thumbsup:

That was not a new commercial, it has been on the internet for quite a while. The abarth looks purely ok, but I just don't think it's going to ever catch on. I guess they thought it would be like the Mini but unusual people will go to Mini Kiosk next to a bmw dealer but a Fiat inside a Chrysler place does have the same appeal, and it's just too friggin small.

On a football note, Ahmad Bradshaw and I went to the same High School and he mentioned our longtime football coach in his pregame interview. I'm famous.
