Here in the land of Oz we get the live telecast of the game; unfortunately we have to put up with local ads.
Not to worry, thought I, the real thing will be available on the web!!! Oh, the inhumanity of it all!!!! Budweiser again failed to feature the Clydesdales, instead, well, lets not go into it.
At least in the past a boring game would merely be a series of interruptions to an hour's worth of good ads.
Congrats to the Chiefs - you finally won.

Yes. 50 years is a long time. They have had a few decent teams in that time, too. Good exciting game with an exciting finish.

Hey - the Wal-Mart ad had pictures of my hometown - the one with the UP train engine on main st. The only problem - we don't have a Wal-Mart - anywhere remotely near here.

At the end of the ad there is a shot of a street sign plaque that says "Historic District" - only we don't have a historic district or that plaque.

To stay positive, the four bar sample of “Kashmir” wasn’t bad...

One of my favorite gigs ever was playing with Tony DiPardo's TD Pack Band at Arrowhead stadium back in the 1990s. Fun times, not a lot of playing, great pay and a great seat for Chiefs home game.
Not marching, but a fun gig. I understand they got rid of the band in 2008.
