Even people who aren’t into football tune into the Super Bowl to watch the commercials in between game action, and companies capitalize by spending millions of dollars on 30- and 60-second spots to advertise their products.
And advertisers get their money’s worth because millions of viewers tune into the Super Bowl telecast to catch the creative, humorous Super Bowl commercials.
My top 5 Super Bowl commercials for 2010 are as follows:

1. Snickers with Betty White and Abe Vigoda

2. Doritos commercial with little boy laying down the law

3. Budweiser truck rolling over human bridge

4. Friends punching each other to look at Volkswagen

5. Man sleepwalking through African wild to grab a Coke

Mardi Gras is a week away, but New Orleans fans were already filling up Bourbon Street on Sunday in celebration of their Saints’ first Super Bowl victory.
And it’s only the beginning.

Saints coach Sean Payton and quarterback Drew Brees, the newly crowned Super Bowl MVP, expect New Orleans residents to take the next 30 days off from work to revel in the team’s historic Super Bowl championship.
New Orleans has a right to.
After hosting the most Super Bowls in NFL history for other teams, the hometown team finally got to play for its own Vince Lombardi Trophy and won with a 31-17 defeat of the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday in Super Bowl XLIV in Miami.

New Orleans took its first lead of the game after catching Indy off guard with an onside kick and recovering the ball to begin the second half. Brees then marched the Saints down the field threw a 16-yard screen to Pierre Thomas who weaved through defenders to find the end zone for New Orleans’ 13-10 lead. The Colts grabbed the lead back with Joseph Addai’s 4-yard run with six minutes left in the third quarter. But the Saints kept Indy out of the end zone for the rest of the game and scored an unanswered 18 points to secure the Super Bowl victory.
Saints coach Sean Payton said the team had been practicing the onside kick all week and Drew Brees said he couldn’t wait to see how well it worked in an actual game. Payton added that the team ran three different game plans for the first half, the third quarter and the fourth quarter. Obviously, his strategy worked.
Although the Saints were the underdogs, Brees said he felt pressure on his team to win because he felt like the country was pulling for New Orleans to win the Super Bowl.
And many were pulling for New Orleans, a city that was almost wiped off the map after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina put most of the city underwater in 2005.
Sports commentator Michael Irvin, a Pro Football Hall of Fame receiver on three Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl championship teams, told Brees that New Orleans is now America’s Team and he hopes the Saints’ Super Bowl victory helps the city to continue to rebuild.
So New Orleans is no longer the laughingstock of the NFL with fans wearing ‘Aints paper bags on their heads. The Saints are the reigning Super Bowl champions and have the nucleus of the team intact to add to their new legacy of winning.

Fans of the CBS network’s three CSI television shows received a treat when Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band The Who was picked to perform during halftime at Super Bowl XLIV on Sunday.

Many people don’t have a clue who The Who is and so they scratched their heads and wondered, “Who is The Who” when the band was announced as the Super Bowl’s halftime performers.

Well, anyone who has watched an episide of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation has heard The Who’s “Who Are You” during the show’s intro. The Who’s songs “We Don’t Get Fooled Again” and “Baba O’Reilly” are the intros for CSI: Miami and CSI: New York, respectively.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation theme song from The Who’s “Who Are You”

CSI: Miami theme from The Who’s “We Don’t Get Fooled Again”

CSI: New York theme from The Who’s “Baba O’Reilly”

Incidentally, CBS televised the Super Bowl.

The Who’s “My Generation” ignited the UK band’s career in 1965, and their performance in 1968 at The Woodstock Music and Art Festival catapulted the group’s success in the U.S.

Black Eyed Peas front man will.i.am and Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash remixed The Who’s “My Generation”, and it is available on Itunes to raise money for Haiti, where a massive earthquake killed 100,000 and left millions homeless in January.

The Who has sold 100 million records and produced 17 top 10 albums in the U.S. The band was enshrined into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.

After The Who’s magnificent halftime performance, every Super Bowl viewer now should know who The Who is.

The debate has been going on for years on whether Peyton Manning is better than Tom Brady. Brady won three Super Bowl rings with New England before Manning even won his first in 2007.
But today, Peyton has to be better than New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees, the NFL’s passing leader and Offensive Player of the Year in 2008.
Still, sports enthusiasts are pondering whether Peyton, 33, should be considered one of the greatest NFL quarterbacks of all-time if he leads the Indianapolis Colts to victory over the New Orleans Saints at Super Bowl XLIV today.
But when Peyton was asked to critique himself during Super Bowl interviews, he remarked: “I have limited athletic ability, so I have to use the cerebral stuff.”
Read this indepth Associated Press article to get an inside look into how Peyton compensates for his “limited athletic ability” to consistently lead the Colts to an NFL record 12 wins for seven consecutive seasons and their second Super Bowl appearance in three years.
New Orleans fans have a lot of respect and admiration for Peyton because he and his two brothers grew up in New Orleans following their father Archie Manning’s long career as the Saints’ legendary starting quarterback. Peyton and his bros excelled in football, basketball and baseball at a New Orleans high school before he and his youngest brother Eli left for college and NFL glory. Their parents and oldest brother, Cooper, continue to live in New Orleans, and Peyton and Eli returned to their hometown to volunteer when Hurricane Katrina tore apart New Orleans in 2005.
And when the NFL and NCAA wanted to pull the Super Bowl and Sugar Bowl out of New Orleans, Archie Manning successfully campaigned to enable the city to remain host for those big games.
New Orleans residents consider the Mannings as their Kennedys, but most will be pulling for their Saints to “limit” Peyton’s production in order to bring back New Orleans’ first Super Bowl trophy.

Rocking her golden mohawk and a bad-ass, sexy onesie with a sword-shaped microphone stand, Rihanna rocked the crowd at the Super Bowl’s Pepsi Fan Jam on Thursday night in Miami. She sang “Wait Your Turn”, “Live Your Life” and “Disturbia”, her No. 1 hit written by her ex Chris Brown.

Before heading to the Super Bowl, she sat down with an L.A. radio station and said she is pulling for New Orleans to beat Indianapolis in the upcoming Super Bowl because its the Saints’ first appearance and would be a great comeback from Hurricane Katrina. She also talked about “Tick Tock” singer Kesha’s crush on her and how she also admires Kesha.

For the last couple years, New Orleans tailback Reggie Bush has been more famous for being the boyfriend of reality TV star, businesswoman and Hollywood socialite Kim Kardashian than for his football career.
It’s taken four years, but the former Heisman Trophy winner is finally making an impact in professional football and reminding fans why he was one of the greatest players in college football in his three seasons at the University of Southern California.
Like in his college-playing days, Bush made defenders miss to score on a 46-yard touchdown run and an 83-yard punt return for a touchdown to lead New Orleans to a 45-14 romp of defending NFC champion Arizona in the divisional playoffs. Then, Reggie’s 5-yard, fourth quarter touchdown run in the NFC championship game was crucial in the Saints’ 31-28 overtime victory over Minnesota.

Now, New Orleans, site of the most Super Bowl games, gets to play Indianapolis on Sunday for the franchise’s first Super Bowl and Reggie Bush can take some of the credit along with his prolific quarterback Drew Brees.
But even though Reggie played a big part in getting the Saints to the Super Bowl, he had to field questions about his famous girlfriend. Fifteen minutes into his Super Bowl interview session, Reggie was asked about the rumor that he would marry Kim if the Saints beat the Colts in the Super Bowl. He answered that he would rather get a ring from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell than a wedding ring from Kim.
