Lowell gets pantsless, other Super Bowl Bayness
Of all the Super Bowl liveblogs in all the blogiverse, the best was penned by our man Lowell Cohn. Lowell followed all the action and of course, the commercials. “Aside from the overload of commercials there’s way too much beer stuff. You watch this broadcast and you think beer is the meaning of life. Is it?” But of course it is Lowell!
He liked the violin-playing beaver and Betty White, and no pants. Under the “Ads I liked” section: “Those two ads with people walking around in their underpants, not that I actually understood them.”
Lowell wasn’t the only Bay-to-Bowl connection. Others included…
- In Antioch, a man died at a party following a disruption over a Super Bowl bet. Police say no foul play is involved, but the incident did start because one partygoer retracted a bet he had made. The cops are having trouble nailing down details because all the witnesses were intoxicated — so, basically, it was just like every Super Bowl party in America.
- Jerry Rice attended the coin toss but Emmitt Smith was selected to actually toss the coin. Both competed for best hand signal flashed to America.
- Former Cal player Scott Fujita wrote a Super blog for the New Orleans Times-Picayune and revealed he was axed by Nike for taping over the swooshes on his shoes.
- Joe Montana was featured in a widely panned Skechers ad. But only his voice. Which made us wonder if they didn’t want to pay the extra money to get him actually into the commercial. Because when you’re spending $35 million on a commercial, you’re trying to cut costs.
That was about it. Until next year, when the 49ers and Raiders meet in the Super Bowl. Then we’ll have a little more to write about.
Did we say next year? We meant 2076.
