An early morning Super post before the Super Bowl ... and so yes, I am rooting for the Chiefs! Not because I'm a huge fan or even a fan at all, but one must choose, and many of my friends are Eagles people, and so it will be more fun this way :)
Of course, for many the Super commercials will be more interesting than the Super game. You can warm up by viewing Gizmodo's take on the best Super Bowl commercials of all time. A list headed, inevitably, by Apple's iconic 1984 commercial.
It's interesting to think about, what made this so great? The girl? The setup - individual vs group? Would this commercial be as popular today, or even - gasp - politically correct enough to run? Or was it the product - Macintosh - which despite not being mentioned in the commercial at all, was widely known to be cool and new and amazing.
Well I am off to ride - need to finish the Tour de Zwift before the big game :)
Enjoy the game!
