For many casual fans, the Super Bowl is as much about the food, the parties - and the ads - as it is the game.
Of course, here in Philly we had a bit of a second-hand rooting interest in cheering on former Eagles' boss Andy Reid, as he captured his first Super Bowl championship as a head coach.
This year's commercials for the most part left me cold - with one exception.
I battle tech demons all day. So Google is a part of my life.
But I'm just as likely to curse the technology I swim in all day as praise it.
Right up until I saw Google's ad during the Super Bowl.
I can admit being in the news business, I actually got tipped off to what was pitched as a real tear-jerker.
They weren't kidding.
Now I'm going to ask for a show of hands. Don't be bashful, guys.
Raise your hand if you shed a tear during the Google ad, in which the elderly gentlemen asks Google for ways not to forget the love of his life, Loretta.
We all should be so lucky.
