Sorry rest of the continental United States. This Super Bowl is all about the northeast. We may be too concerned to let our kids play in High School and we may openly admit that we prefer Baseball, but Giants-Patriots for the 2nd time in less than 10 years means we’re there. The best part of Super Bowl is obviously the action on the field, but a very close second is the awesome commercials. I, for one, am really looking forward to the Ferris Beuller commercials that are going to be aired this year, so much so that it got me to thinking: we should do a Super Bowl commercials post. Very original, I know. But just for kicks, here’s our favorites of the last 10 years. Some standards, some surprises, all amazing TV.
