Fumbles and penalty flags - Super Bowl edition

- What was up with the FOX crew using hand-held microphones? The guys looked awkward all afternoon and evening with this throwback approach to audio.

- FOX's pre-game show was one shameless promo after another. If it wasn't Jennifer Anniston and Adam Sandler promoting their new movie, it was an actor or actress who happened to be on a FOX program.

- Lea Michele (surprise--another actress from a FOX show) did an amazing job on America the Beautiful. Grade: A-.

- I'm in the minority, but I thought Christina Aguilera did a good job with the national anthem. I missed what apparently were her botched lyrics. Grade: B.

- The NFL made a good choice in putting the Black Eyed Peas on at halftime. But, the "cameo" by Slash was odd and Usher's bit broke up the show's flow. Grade: B-.

- Joe Buck and Troy Aikman: B+.
