I'm not going to be able to recall any of them right now, but I did enjoy a good handful of commercials.

F*ck knbc for those 2 WAY TOO LOUD 10 second spots for something or other after the game. WTF was that?

What were the odds that the NFC Team won the coin toss? It's now happened twelve years in a row. I wonder what I would have won if I had slapped down ten bucks on it before it happened?

The real odds? 50/50.

The bookmaker odds, possibly something significantly different but only in reflection of irrational gamblers.

Assuming the ceremonial coin had a relatively even weight distribution between heads and tails.

Not really, assuming it is random which will be called by the player.

If the toss is biased 75%/25% in favor of heads but the player is randomly making their call they'd still be right 50% of the time.

But yeah, my main point in the response was that the previous 11 outcomes are irrelevant to the setting of the odds for this coin toss. There are certainly other biasing factors in the current toss that could have an impact (such as that soldier doing the toss being an expert coin tosser able to produce a desired result and he's from Tucson).

It was localized to the Tucson area from what I understand from the local media. I did nt witness it myself here in Phoenix.

I wish my TV gave me random porn.

I don't understand why people get so upset; it's not as if any network is going to -- as a policy decision -- do it on purpose. If you're child is that fragile that a few second of squeak and bonk is harmful then you probably should just hit them in the head with a rock right now.

I loved the careerbuilders.com commercial with the screaming lady and the man who kept saying "Hey, Dummy!" to his co-worker. Hysterical.
