Poor half, but we have the lead and get the ball to start the 2nd half so I can't really complain. Hernandez is stepping up big in Gronk's relative absence. And Belichick's "bend but don't break" defense is working pretty well so far.
And to address the advertising talk, NBC charges $3.5 million for a 30 second advert. It is sort of a Super bowl tradition that companies pay huge sums of money and try to be funny with their ads. Bunch of chicks I know say they only watch the game for the adverts, because they could care less about the sport. It's unfortunate, but you just have to deal with it, and you should try to find a stream of NBC's coverage.
