As they’ve done for the past few years, iFilm.com has collected all of the 2005 SuperBowl Commercials online.

At first I thought the constant “points as they run” updates on TV would be tiring, but it was pretty cool how close everyone was and how a few positions made the difference. Full Throttle has some quick points about the season, including the fact that 8 of the final 10 races were won by title contenders (Joe Nemechek and Greg Biffle were the only non-contender winners).
