Without and Green and Gold on you TV this weekend, your Super Bowl party might be more about the food and commercials.
Here is an early peek into some of what you will want to be back from the kitchen to see. The commercials are often the most popular feature of the Super Bowl for the non sports fans. Ads won’t be politics free, as both President Trump and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg will go head-to-head during the game.
Several ads have already been posted online and are generating a lot of buzz. In Amazon’s ad starring Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, actress Portia de Rossi, they imagine a life before the company’s voice assistant Alexa.
