Sometimes the simplest explanations are best. This is s a cool experiment that applies some simple principles to achieve a result.

Super Bowl commercials

Game was okay. Certainly not as crappy as last year. Halftime was ... interesting. But relatively dull (in spite of Shakiras hips).

In any case, here’s my take on the top 10 commercials in the big game.

#10 Jimmy Fallon (Michelob ultra)

And the Wisconsin vet school, which has a cool story, needs a mention:

And in case you wondered. The trump ads were garbage. 

Nice troll job.

Friday, Brady tweeted this an sports media went crazy. What could it mean?!

Then we see his Hulu as ... and it was just a troll job. Hilarious.

We got a problem...

We watch too much tv. We put people in a pedestal. We laud our athletes. And it causes the ridiculous hysteria.

Kobe died. It's sad. Made sadder by him being with his daughter. Okay. I don't know anything about Kobe, other than he played basketball and I saw him as a ball hog. Didn't much care for him personally.

And of course there was the rape allegations. And the affair. But that's it. People say he was "great" in ways. I wouldn't know. I know nothing else about him.

And maybe he did some of the good things they say about him. I wouldn't know, and not to be callous, but I don't care, either.

Every single day, good people die. Some do more than we will ever know. Some of them are public about it, and never get credit.

But here's Kobe now on his 4th day(!) of coverage. It's just too much.

But this is what happens with our reality tv nation. Somehow "we" think we know the guy, and mourn him.

He's another human whose life ended too soon. That's sad, sure, but why does he get wall-to-wall coverage?

And weirder still is the fact that in every huge news story, there are ALWAYS detractors. People who offer (an often ludicrous) differing point of view.

Where are they this time? Why does this story only talk about him in glowing terms?

Is this what we're doing now?

I find this all vexing and frustrating. Isn't there anything else we can talk about?
