My observations of the big broadcast?
Seacrest making fun of himself was pretty funny… even if you don’t like him you must admit he’s good at what he does. Other than noticing that I fast forwarded through most of the pre-game BS.
The national anthem was lip-synced!! Not only did that American Idol chick almost split her dress getting onto the riser – she lip-synced the National Anthem !! (and not very well.) It’s obvious that FOX was going to do everything they could to promote themselves often throughout the broadcast.
Those announcers sucked! Are you kidding me? Joe Buck and Troy Aikman?? I can’t believe the biggest football game of the year was called by that pair of goofballs.
Tom Petty still rocks! That performance wasn’t lip-synced! and kudos to the sound crew … the best halftime show audio I can remember.
The commercials sucked! Maybe my expectations were too high, but outside the Clydesdale/Dalmatian spot (which was cute) is the best ad really the spitting baby with a grown-ups voice? Seems to me they’ve been much better in years past.
FOX really screwed up on their estimation of when the game would end. This caused a slight DVR problem … I mean they were like an hour off!
But wow! How ’bout that Giants defense?? That game was pretty good after all, didn’t ya think?

Commercials weren’t all THAT bad. I was laughing pretty hard at the “get closer to Justin Timberlake” commercial when he was getting beat up and dragged around town each time the girl took a drink.
