Yeah, Nationwide fucked up big time. They've gotten nothing but hostility over those ads.

But yes, I give the win to the Snickers ad off the top of my head.
Snickers wins. Not even close.
Worst play call I've ever seen based on situation.
What the FUCK was he thinking with that last play? If you're going to lose, lose with your superstars.

Marshawn Lynch being an asshole.
On the flip side, here's Julian Edelman actually being an asshole.
His justification? Fuck you and fuck everyone that thinks we cheated. We won. Lick our golden, deflated balls.

NFL Media's Aditi Kinkhabwala asked Lynch after the loss if the running back was surprised he didn't get the ball. "No," he replied.
When pressed further why he wasn't surprised, the running back known as "Beast Mode" said, "because football is a team sport."
On the flip side, here's Julian Edelman actually being an asshole.
A fired-up Edelman took a stand for the residents of Boston when describing how the Patriots overcame adversity and criticism, and then went after Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks Trent Dilfer and Steve Young

I watched a Nationwide ad with Mindy something. Is that the one?
EDIT: Oh. Must be the child death one. Nothing sells like fear and paranoia.

solid commercials
Disappointing except for Snickers ad and a couple others.
one of my favorite half time shows
Tell me you're a Kravitz fan, or at least a Missy fan.
Great game, exciting ending
Except the fucking cheaters won.

I hate Lenny Kravitz. I was SOOOOOO happy to see him singing a song that wasn't his. It actually made me quite happy.
I love (a couple of) Missy Elliott's songs. True story: I never knew she sang them (Get Ur Freak On and Gossip Folks).
I'm a Katy Perry fan, and my girls LOVE Katy Perry, so they watched the game with me, and were super excited about skipping bathtime to watch the halftime show instead and "stay up late" (It was their normal bedtime, but hey - perception = reality).
I don't really care who won. I just wanted to be entertained, and I was.

It's not me, it's someone else.
Gordon suspended 1 year
Gordon, who has already served two league suspensions, will have to apply for reinstatement. A league spokesman said his one-year ban begins immediately, meaning he will miss the 2015 season.

1. That makes you a selfish jackass.
What a hero.

So ... bud + codeine (allegedly) + booze > knocking a woman the fuck out OR taking a switch to one of your many kids OR disregarding equipment rules on the NFL books which have clearly objective criteria that were violated.
Right on, Gooddell. If this had been a DUI, you would have had something of a leg to stand on. Your substance abuse policy is an impotent joke, much your tenure as commish ... and probably your dick. When you don't have any balls, like Roger Gooddell, you have to ask for permission to get it up.

Goodell is a complete joke.
Lynch and Gordon, both of whom are breaking the rules, are being publicly destroyed, but neither of their actions really affect the game on the field.
Meanwhile, you've got an organization that has been caught cheating once already, and had that evidence destroyed for some reason. Over the past few years since they've not been able to replicate the success they had while they were cheating, despite rumors of other infractions or bending of rules.
Now they're in the middle of another scandal that the NFL seems to be going out of its way to sweep under the rug.
I'm sure this has nothing to do with the great friendship between Goodell and Kraft.
The integrity of the game is being shit upon in New England, and Goodell is fucking every other team in the league by not hammering New England and destroying evidence.
I get not wanting things to be made public to protect the integrity of the game, but the owners of the NFL should have some private agreement where if a team gets caught cheating in a big way like Spygate, then the coach must be fired and never hired by another team along with other punishments.
Had someone on FB telling me the investigations in New England is yellow journalism and everybody cheats. I explained to him that you can't accuse the MSM of yellow journalism and then in the same breath do exactly that. If everyone is cheating, how come only New England is getting caught?
Actually, Atlanta has been caught piping in fake crowd noise, but let's be honest, with the shitty Atlanta fans shouldn't we allow them that one?

Julian Edelman is really rising on my list of "shithead ass clowns that I hate."
In a postgame interview with NFL Network's Alex Flanagan, Julian Edelman couldn't help but be in awe of his highly decorated teammate: "He's the greatest quarterback ever to live on this Earth. He's won four Super Bowls in the modern-day era with a salary cap. He's been to six. I'm a huge Joe Montana fan, I love him to death, but Tommy's No. 1."

Whats really going to be interesting is how this "Textgate" will all pan out. Looks like Ray Farmer and the Browns could be getting punished. If the Patriots get off scott free and Cleveland gets a fist up the ass then that is just fucked up.
If Ray was texting, then who the fuck cares!! That is something that has to be dealt with in house, if anything he's just fucking up the inner workings of his own team. Unless he has some inside information on the other team on game day, he's not fucking with the integrity of the game. And lets be honest, it was texts about Johnny and why he's not playing.
Personally, I don't care if Ray gets suspended or fined, infact I wish they could just suspend his ass on draft day so he don't fuck up another first round like he did last year. But if they take away draft picks then Rodger Goodell better be ready for a raging fucking mad fan base.
Oh yeah, here's the Cleveland.com article about Ray's texts.
