IMO the limited highlights of a grim Super Bowl were a record punt, Brady's pass to Gronk to set up the only TD, Harrison Ford's dog ordering food from Amazon and, last but not least, the NFL 100 commercial

Peter King summarized the production logistics in his FMIA column this morning
The story behind it, from the NFL’s new chief marketing officer, Tim Ellis, who came to the league from the video game industry last September...
“The turnaround was incredibly fast. There’s almost 50 stars in it, and we didn’t start contacting people till last December … and we taped it in mid-January. The reason we were able to pull it off is because it felt genuine and authentic to the players. The players said, ‘Whoever put this together knows football.’ ...
Logistics were fun. With the spot being taped in the middle of the playoffs, Ellis had some faux banquet rooms, with tight shots, built with the same décor as the L.A. venue. Mayfield flew to Boston and did his piece with Brady there. Mahomes flew to Orlando and did his piece with Wilson there, making a throw that was “caught” on the L.A. set by Beckham. Extra credit to Brees and Kamara for doing their piece in New Orleans a couple of days after the bitter loss in the NFL title game.
