This Sunday is the play offs for the NFL's NFC and AFC championship games to determine who gets to play in this year's Super Bowl XLIV game. Usually I start writing earlier about all the interactive promotions and advertising associated with the big game. But quite honestly I've been a bit unmotivated this year since my team, the Buffalo Bills, have been such a disappointment. After making it to the Super Bowl for 4 years straight, we haven't made it to the playoffs now for 10 years. I still can't believe it's been that long!
So now we finally have a new head coach and we're rebuilding. So maybe in a couple of years we'll be back in contention again. But for now we have 4 teams who have made it this far and we'll just have two after Sunday: The Indianapolis Colts vs. the New York Jets and the Minnesota Vikings vs. the New Orleans Saints.
Each year we've seen new teams enter the Super Bowl, but one thing has been consistent since I started writing this blog, which is the Doritos brand Super Bowl user-generated contest promotion. They have already revealed their six finalists selected from more than 4,000 entries in the fourth annual Doritos "Crash the Super Bowl" challenge, where the stakes this year have been bigger and bolder than ever. Contestants this year are not only competing to have their self-made Doritos commercials aired during the Super Bowl XLIV broadcast, but are also shooting to make history by beating the ad pros and garnering the top three spots in USA TODAY's annual Ad Meter.
If they can do it, Doritos will award the winners a shared $5 million cash prize. Online consumer voting will determine which three of the six finalists will air as Doritos' Super Bowl commercials during the big game on February 7, 2010. Fans in the U.S. can now vote for their favorite finalist once a day at Crashthesuperbowl.com up until January 31. In addition, Doritos is giving online voters a chance to get in on the action by giving away a pair of Super Bowl tickets every day of the voting period.
Here are the six finalists. Check them out and let me know which one you would vote for. Of course I have my favorite, but I don't want to sway your choice at this point.

The suspense that who is to play i super bowl is finished now. Indianapolis Colts bated the jets and New Orleans Saints to Minnesota Vikings. And now every one knows that the final fight is between the Colts and Saints. So enjoy the game.
