- A lot of funny commercials. Super Bowl XLIV was memorable for a shortage of truly funny commercials. Except for a Doritos ad featuring a kid giving an ultimatum to her mom's beau and a Snickers ad featuring Betty White, I can't recall much at all by way of funny ads. Very disappointing.
- A decent halftime show. Last year's show with The Who was truly disappointing, and has been the latest in a string of disappointing or just downright worthless shows which have been held during the halftime of the greatest football game to ever be played; the last time I enjoyed a halftime show was when Paul McCartney played there. I don't know who will be playing at this year's show, but is it too much to ask for something good?
- A Packers win. For personal reasons, I'll be rooting for the Packers during the Super Bowl. Hopefully, they'll do a better job in the 2nd half than they did in the NFC Championship against the Bears. They played a solid 1st half in that game, then faltered somewhat in the 2nd half while still withstanding the Bears’ short-lived comeback. The Steelers fared about the same during the AFC Championship against the Jets, but needless to say, the Steel Curtain is no pushover. All the best to you guys in Green Bay; Go Packers!
Update (Feb. 7th, 11:54 AM EST): Thanks to a commenter, I realized I had made a mistake about when Randall Terry's graphic ads would air; they're supposed to air during next year's NFL playoffs. I have since removed the section on Randall Terry, with my apologies.

The presidential primary isn't until 2012, so the Randall Terry ad will not air until next year.
Thanks for letting me know; I didn't see it would be next year.
