It was really cool. I don’t care if it is not really “super bowl ads” prior to the game. What’s important is that it aired on tv. period…..

I did catch a glimpse of him before the Nat’l Anthem started, though. It was exciting knowing that he was there representing the community. Was he shown on the screen at the stadium? I thought I saw him on the big screen. Way to go, Dreamer! love ya, Renee

That saddens me.

* Discussions about “the Super Bowl ads” take place “around the water cooler” and in media such as the one repeatedly announced during the Super Bowl itself: MySpace.com – 2008 Superbowl Commercials from Super Bowl XLII: Vote for Favorite Ad Videos. They also take place on Fox Sports on MSN – Super Bowl Ads – Super Bowl XLII Commercials and many other places. But people don’t talk about the ads placed during the pre-game show because they are irrelevant to the conversation. I would like to see ASL and Deafness become relevant to the American conversation. So far, it appears they are not.

It was on pre-game show, not during superbowl.

I double-checked the DVR recording of the pre-game Superbowl show. The driver happened to be a Deaf employee of Frito Lay here in Phoenix! Also, I managed to catch Dreamer on the Jumbo Tron twice during Jordin Sparks’ singing the anthem. I thought they would shoot Dreamer for a few second, just a glimpse. But not this time! I know Dreamer is so psyched about this anyways! :)

Psst, Daniel!! I tried to email you a couple times!! Let me know how you’re doing! :)

Our DVR recording of the pre-game show failed, so I didn’t see anything pre-game. Well, I’m glad they did at least air it pre-game.
