The Green Bay Packers won Super Bowl 45 in Arlington, Texas by being fortunate enough to have a large first half lead before the Pittsburgh Steelers woke up and made a game of it, with the final being 31-25.The Packer touchdowns came from Jordy Nelson and two from Greg Jennings, plus Nick Collins picking off a pass from Pittsburgh QB Ben Roethlisberger into the end zone. Aaron Rodgers, following into the footsteps of Bart Starr and Brett Favre as Packers quarterbacks who won Super Bowls, was the game's MVP.
For the Packers as the sixth seed in the NFC playoff pecking order, it was: No division title. No home games. No problem. They marched through Philadelphia, Atlanta and Chicago, coming out the better team.
Of course, as with any Super Bowl, there was more than the game going on.
- Christina Aguilera botched the national anthem. This is why the mute button on your TV remote was invented. And also why we need a new national anthem.
- The Black Eyed Peas' halftime concert was like watching a video game set to music. Maybe they should be sending royalties to Disney for the "Tron" imitation. Also, Usher nearly committed a wardrobe malfunction because his pants nearly fell down during his performance. OMG, indeed.
- The commercials aren't getting any better. There were too many Planet Beer ads (this means you, Bud Light), too much violence, and too many depressing trailers for upcoming Hollywood sci-fi movies in 3-D. Plus, the Chevy ad with seniors in a nursing home in desperate need of hearing aids needs a sensitivity check. And who knew Eminem could sell products?
