Every superbowl in my lifetime has been a pretty big snoozefest (I'm only 19 though). To me, a lot of the magic and glory of more distant superbowls is gone. Maybe I'm wrong, though. I've only ever seen highlights.

The superbowl now, though, feels like one big corporate wankfest and has little to do with football.
