As everyone already knows, the 2012 Super Bowl took place this last Sunday with the New England Patriots playing the New York Giants for the title of “Champions.” It was the 46th annual championship game and the New York Giants took the title 27-17. Eli Manning was named the MVP for his second time and it was quite obvious that he deserved it. As for the Patriots, they played a strong game and deserve credit too. Out of 32 teams there is a 6% chance of making it to the championships and a 3% chance of winning the championships; therefore, the Patriots deserve praise too. Tom Brady was deeply saddened by their loss however, and he was found after the game sitting head hunched over in front of his locker deep in thought. It is a hard thing to do, to watch the title slip away in just a few points. http://www.sbnation.com/2012
As far as the entertainment aspect of the Super Bowl goes, there were 12,232 super bowl related tweets happening per second during the game. That just shows how effective social media can truly be. People were able to discuss the game through twitter as it was happening; countless conversations were taking place online and play-by-plays were being assessed within seconds of them happening. The half time show, where Madonna and other celebrities performed, was the highest-rated part of the football game. We can't forget about the commercials though; the commercials aired during the game ran about $3.5 million per 30 seconds...INSANE! The Super Bowl was the most watched program in the history of television with 111 million viewers, which probably justifies companies spending millions on their commercials.
