It can be pretty well assumed that few people are driving anything more advanced than a well-cushioned Barcalounger tonight. The eyes of the sports world are trained on New Orleans in one way or another – whether via cable, a well-timed short-term “trial” of some random streaming service soon to be cancelled, or (like yours truly) a traditional antenna. For those who care relatively little about the outcome of the game between (checks notes) Philadelphia and Kansas City, the bacchanalia of capitalism shall reign supreme. As this isn’t The Truth About Light Beer, we shall concern ourselves tonight with the appearance of automobiles.
Like each year for the last nine, I’ll be watching the game along with you, but I’ll have my laptop in my, um, lap. I’ll be sharing the YouTube videos of the automotive commercials – and those commercials that are automotive-adjacent, since relatively few automakers feel the need these days to spend the reported eight million bucks for a thirty-second spot. If anything else interesting comes along, I might comment as well. I’ll keep updating throughout the evening.
So come along for the ride!
