Super Bowl Ads

Every year much is made of the Super Bowl halftime show and the commercials that are a part of it. I’ve already seen many posts about the halftime show and what many people disliked about it. I won’t add more verbage to all the words already out there, other than the fact that, in my opinion, the halftime show seems more like an interruption to the game. But I digress….

What creates almost as much dialogue are the commercials. I saw some, but missed most during the game. If that was you, there is a place you can see all of them and even weigh in on whether you liked them or not. USA Today has a webpage where you can view and vote on commercials. If you are looking for 30 second long interruptions to your day, check out the Ad Meter on USA Today.com to see all the commercials.

5th Grader Playing Varsity??

This story came across Twitter today from USA Today High School Sports website. It shares of a 5th grade boy from Florida that is playing on the varsity team.

I like this quote from the article: “If Jamie (his dad who is the coach) keeps his job, and Julian, who reportedly scored 91 points in three-quarters against middle school competition, doesn’t find a loophole that allows him to play in the NBA when he’s in 9th grade, the father and son duo could share the same high school court for eight seasons. That’s a crazy thought, not unlike a 4-foot-5 fifth-grader playing high school basketball.”

You can read the entire story on the USA Today High School Sports site. Below is the video that shows young Julian in action.
