38 years of Super Bowl Commercials


Some years the commercials are the best thing about the Super Bowl. Knowing this Adland.tv took the time to compile 38 years worth of Super Bowl commercials.

Click on the link above to go their site. The green year names are links that will take you to the list of commercials for that year, and the opportunity to watch your favorites once again.

Although I cannot narrow these down to a single favorite, 'Terry Tate - Office Linebacker' would definitely be in my top ten.

Why Your Favorite University Should Want The BCS To Go Away


BCS bowl games are the single worst business arrangement in American sports. College football’s continued willingness to be fleeced by outside businessmen, who gleefully cut themselves in on millions in profits, makes even conference commissioners blush when confronted with the raw facts.

What other business outsources its most profitable and easily sold product – in this case postseason football?

The bowls were needed back in the 1950s. These days they are nothing but leeches on the system. I happen to like watching bowl games – or any games, but outside of nostalgia they offer no value to a playoff system.

It’ll never make sense to allow businesses outside college football to determine how college football does its business.

College football could stage the 15 playoff games itself, cut out the middle men, and pockets hundreds of millions of extra revenue.
