Dan here. Yes, the Super Bowl is coming. Armed Forces Network is airing the game live for the real fans. We are going to a Monday night tape-delayed viewing party where all attendees are sworn to avoid any spoilers during the day on Monday.
So what am I complaining about?
The commercials are missing! Yes, AFN airs network TV programming, but without the commercials. In lieu of commercials, AFN inserts back-to-back public service announcements. These run the gamut from useful (deadlines for absentee voting) to preachy ("Never shake your baby!") to indecipherable ("On or off the battlefield, practice composite risk management every day!").
Rest assured, taxpayers, these messages are all very low budget. Our favorite ads feature Squeakers, spokesmouse for OpSec (operational security: loose lips sink ships). Check out his latest message here.
It is exciting that the game will be played in west Phoenix. But to be honest, in previous years the commercials were the bigger draw. This better be a really good football game this year.
