Since my Ravens were not playing, my interest is one who always roots for the underdog. Peyton Manning against the lowly Seahawks couldn't be more one-sided. The people in Denver thought when they signed Manning, they already won the Super Bowl. Unfortunately for them, last year the Ravens stood in their way and this year it was Seattle. Also, being a Baltimore fan, I'm always a fan of great defense, and Seattle certainly proves that.
I found this year's Super Bowl game was great!! I don't think I even cheered as loud last year for my own team the Ravens. I thought the commercials were pretty good and Bruno Mars put on a halftime show fitting for such a big event with plenty of energy and pumped up the crowd. Since the Red Hot Chili Peppers is one of my favorite bands, it was good seeing them as well. I think it's come to a point where the classic rock halftime shows have run their course. Maybe the Eagles might fill the bill, but Tom Petty proved that country rock isn't going to pump up the crowd.

I think you have just said it all. (Although being from Pittsburgh, I did root for the Ravens last year as I thought it was "their" year. But that was only a one-time deal!)
This year was a drubbing, and so I concentrated on appreciating Seattle's defense.
