Super Bowl [ F, PI, S ]

I thought I'd try something different, and add to my blog while watching the SuperBowl.
- Same tired Geico commercial; why not say (à la the movie 'Putney Swope') "you'll save a shitload of money with us!"
- Look who's up for the Walter Payton award: when that player is not beating his wife, he helps underprivileged kids.
- Carrie Underwood changed keys so often I thing F. S. Key was spinning on his grave.
- Nice to see some of the old timers like Jerry Rice & Emmet Smith.
- I assume there's a special place in hell for those who use flash on their camera while sitting in the grandstand.
- The Doritos bark-collar ad was great, made up for that Boost Mobile travesty.
- Nice going Colston; it's not like you catch a ball for a living; oh wait - you do!
- Colts 3 - 0.
- Doritos, the "hands off my momma, and my Doritos" ad - you guys are batting 1,000!
- Colts go ahead 9 - 0; now 10 - 0. Who is winning in the office pool?
- New Orleans gets 3.
- Budweiser "bridge is out" ad - great, and how like our ant brethren.
- Ophah, Leno and Letterman in one ad? What's up with that!
- Casual Friday CareerBuilder ad with no pants; immediately followed by the Dockers ad with no pants, I don't know who put these back-to-back.
- Two beers into the game, we have about 5 minutes left in Q2. So far the best thing has been the pulled pork and guacamole.
- New Orleans is first and goal; let's see...
- "Man's Last Stand" from Dodge was sooooooo true.
- Now 3rd and goal... now 4th and goal... REJECTED. ouch all the way to the 1.
- New Orleans FG 6 - 10.
- Half time analysis and show. Let's see how the Who are doing.
- Listening the half-time analysis make me yearn for the peace and quiet that Marlee Matlin must experience.
- Pinball Wizard, Baba O'Rielly, Who are You (look Gladys, they're playing the CSI theme), We're Not Gonna Take It, Won't Get Fooled Again; Daltrey and Townshend (the last two) sounded and looked really, really great. I am sure some Cortizone and Methamphetamine (at least) helped a bit.
- Q3 here we go, onside kick, PIGPILE!
- New Orleans up 13 - 10
- ooh the game is copyrighted by the NFL, any rebroadcast or reuse is illegal. I'm sure this doesn't count.
- Quite a running pass by Manning, I guess he really earns his money; wait Colts score!
- Text 90999 to donate $10 to Haiti; text 91234 to donate $10 to me!
- Colts now 17 - 16
- For those who don't know, Lamar Hunt, former owner of the Kansas City Chiefs and founding member of the American Football League, coined the name "Super Bowl" after watching his children playing with a Super Ball.
- Colts going 4th and 2 - WOW they made it.
- Emerald nuts + Pop Secret popcorn with dolphin people (a South Park Jewfin?) = awesomely awesome!
- New Orleans scores and now up 22 - 17. Missed 2 point conversion.
- Special review of incomplete conversion, it's GOOD!!!! 7 point game 24 - 17.
- Dennys is offering a free Grand Slam breakfast. Fortunately I enjoy deep-fried rat's eyes.
- The VW TDI "Green Police" ad (soundtrack to the tune of Cheap Trick's "Dream Police") was cute and scary!!
- Tracy Porter from New Orleans 70 yard interception return; game over man, game over. New Orleans 31 - 17
- Ninja Doritos man - yum.
- Colts ALMOST score, penalty.
- And just like that it was over.
