This commercial haunts my dreams


This video haunts me. 

I wake up in the morning, put some running clothes on, realize it's way too cold to go outside so I go on the treadmill downstairs. Turn on ESPN to catch up with my sporting news and without fail, this commercial is on, every time.

Then for the rest of the day I get Eli's dumb looking face stuck in my head and his annoying voice saying he is going to Disney World. 

First off, I am tired of this shit. Every athlete says they are going to Disney World, why not tell the truth. You are going to a bar to get drunk. That's what you are going to do. Go blow a few million dollars of your Super Bowl bonus.

Second, the part at the end where they sing, "Dreams come true!" Freaking gets stuck in my head for the rest of the day. I go to finished my work out, all I hear is, "Dreams come true!" 

I go to the bathroom, "Dreams come true!"

I talk to my mom about serious political issues, "Dreams come true!"

It gets stuck in my head for the rest of the day, then once that gets out, I get Eli's stupid face stuck in my head



Yeah, that one. Then I think about that all day. 

Then I finally get into bed at night, finally I forgot about it. After trying not to think of Eli for 12 hours, and I am about to get a sound sleep.

I turn my TV on to put on some background noise and I hear this commercial in the background.



Son of a bitch, they got me again.

Reflections from the Super Bowl

Instead of having a long typical blog post about how Wes Welker shouldn't have made, "The Drop" or that Dion Branch and Aaron Hernandez should of caught the ball on the Patriots final drive. Or even the several fumbles the Patriots seemed to not be able to get. I will list my top 10 things that upset me about the Super Bowl.


  1. First the most important thing, the commercials this year were terrible. There were a few decent ones, but overall, I expected more. Especially if you are going to be paying millions for those spots.
  2. Jason Tuck's face mask. 
  3. Tom Brady could not throw an accurate pass after getting sacked for the first time. Brady never looked comfortable after that and he rushed a lot of his throws he shouldn't have. It's unfortunate because the Giant's "amazing" pass-rush wasn't playing its best Sunday.
  4. Eli Manning's face. 
  5. The fact that I have to listen to how Eli is as good as Brady. I am sorry, but he isn't. Brady has had a better career stat wise but he has three Super Bowl wins to Eli's two. Also, the 2007 Super Bowl wasn't won by Eli.  It was won by its defense. Brady won all three of those Super Bowls. 
  6. The half time show
Side note here

First off, Madonna in a half time show was sad. She obviously, and very poorly, lip-synced her songs. She tried to be "sexy" I am sorry, you are 50 something. Stop trying to act like a sex icon. Also, M.I.A. gave me the finger? I didn't notice, mainly because when we were watching we were all trying to figure out who that was. I hate to tell her, her career is as irrelevant as her giving me the finger. Paper airplanes was a hit the last time the Giants were Super Bowl winners. No reason to have her up there with LMFAO and Nicki Minaj, simply doesn't make sense. 

Also, Blogger makes me start at one again, but I know it's really seven.
  1. I am going to have to listen to annoying Giant's fan talk about how amazing their team is and how they won. I just can't stand NY fans for the most part. (Even though I am a Buffalo Bills fan).
  2. Brady's wife talking smack about the wide receivers. You are not a football player or ever been or probably even follow sports. Don't comment.
  3. How I have to hear about another over-hyped wide receiver catch with Mario Manningham. It was a good catch, but not that good. 
  4. Talking about David Tyree's over-hyped call. He had both hands on it and took it off and used his head. That's not amazing, that's bad technique. It's not a great play, it was a fluke. I don't care what anyone else says, it was a terrible play and should never be remembered. 
Well that is what I felt went wrong with the Super Bowl, but it was a good game. There is a ton to talk about what went right and why it was so good but I chose to take a different look at the game. I was pulling for the Patriots, but I am not a fan of either team, so I guess regardless of who won. I would lose. 

Also, America, we all lost because of that half-time show.
