Did you ask her? I love her answer. Does Alexa know? I asked Google Now and it just showed a search result.

Yeah, and Cortana said her Ouija board favored the Hawks. Unlike Cortana's bias for the home team, Alexa showed no such bias and said she didn't know.

Alexa told me

"I wish I could tell you, but I can't see the future"

Yes. Cortana's answers can vary slightly each time the question is asked, but today she states that the Patriots are favored. Echo is less committal with her reply: "I can't see the future."

She asked who I thought would win the superbowl. I told her which team and she said her sources aren't convinced but check back after the game to see who is right BUT she didn't sound like Cortana she sounded like a robot!

The half-time show sucks big time. I turned the sound off and diverted my eyes away from the screen. With the budget they have, you'd think they would hire someone who could actually sing.

I learned not long ago that the annual Super Bowl halftime rock extravaganza was cause by the promotion Fox had one year, offering their own entertainment (Jim Carrey and his friends) as an alternative to the NFL's entertainers. I saw that, and didn't laugh once!

The next year, the NFL brought in Michael Jackson to preempt that sort of thing happening again.

But I read the other day that someone on YouTube is having an alternative half-time show this year.

Well, maybe they should bring Michael Jackson back for a zombie half-time show - Thriller

I watched it and cringe every time it was like what am I watching. Horrible.

Great game! Had to turn it off before it ended because The Big Bang Theory was starting.

Posting the exact words would be a spoiler and might spoil someone's fun in discovering for themselves which is why I refuse to read the list of questions to ask her I like figuring it out myself. I suppose we could use spoilers tags though I didn't think of that till now.
