Super Bowl Live Blog

Because I've got nothing else to do, here is a Super Bowl live blog where I will bring you my meaningless thoughts throughout the game.

6:15 - Is Drew Brees the only white guy that can pull off the "motivational speaker in the circle before the game"? That routine must have taken some practicing.

6:22 - From Queen Latifah to Carrie Underwood.  A huge step up in both hotness, relevance, and singing ability.  CU knocked it out of the park.  Goosebumps.

6:26 - Rickey Jackson apparently has not stopped eating since he retired from football.  His bid kind of confuses me; I always thought Pat Swilling was the better of their duo.  Also, why is Michael Clarke Duncan standing in for John Randle?  Sure could use some'a yo mizzuz fine cone'bread, Boss.

6:30 - 13 straight coin toss wins for the NFC.  Hasn't been a more improbable streak since I went three days without taking a shit.

6:45 - Matt Stover - still sticking it to the Browns 13 years later.  Remember when signing Viniteiri was such a big move for the Colts? Talk about a bust.

6:47 - The Robin Hood trailer just gave me solid wood.

6:51 - Marques Colston is doing his best "Hot Hands" Haynon impression from Little Giants.

7:01 - Pierre Garcon for 6! Where were you in weeks 12-15, asshole?

7:05 - Doritos and Bud Light really pouring their ad budgets into the Super Bowl.  Not sure any of them have hit it out of the park yet, either.

7:08 - Just noticed former Michigan G Jonathon Goodwin is still getting some play, starting for the Saints.  That was a helluva college line, as good as I can remember.  Backus, Hutchinson, Brandt, Goodwin, Mo Williams.

7:11 - Great catch by Colston.  He must have put the stick-um on and imagined it was a roll of toilet paper coming at him.  "Don't fail me now boys.  I look after ya, clean ya, wash ya when ya get dirty, make sure your nails are trimmed..."

7:17 - Sack by Freeney.  I think they were playing possum with his injury all week.  Like a WWE wrestler who fakes an injury then beats the crap out of his rival when his back is turned.

7:18 - If football doesn't work out, Jermon Bushrod always has a future in porn.

7:26 - First slam dunk with the Bud Light/Lost commercial.

7:28 - Did somebody trade heads with 1999 Anthony Mason? I didn't know it was still cool to write things in your hair. Brock Hansen was right all along!

7:32 - Lance Moore with a big third down catch.  Somehow this reminds me of Nick Moore catch 84 balls against Michigan in the Big House.  I will now light myself on fire.

7:36 - Dexter with the voice-over for a commercial.  DON'T FUCKING TOUCH HIM!!!

7:43 - Mike Hart sighting! They brought him in because they knew he wouldn't fumble on the goal line.

7:46 - Spineless Jason - How bout lavender? Jim Nantz - How bout not. Best yet.

7:49 - Reggie Bush with the catch.  No shots of Kim K yet.  She may be at Ray J's Super Bowl party.

7:51 - Jim Caldwell speaks! I thought he would have to use one of those voice boxes like 1997 Kane.  "If I do not win the title..I will.....set myself on fire."

8:02 - Halftime show starting.  Odds on a member of The Who dying - 765:1

8:05 - Pete Townsend starts to play the harmonica.  45 million black people turn off their televisions.

8:06 - Those same 45 million black people are asking you that same question, Pete.  Whooooooo are you?

8:22 - Onside kick! What a scrum!  I love the people that jump on the pile when it is already 10 deep, as if they will have some sort of effect on the outcome.  Saints recover! Hank Baskitt muffs it.  Not a good night so far for the E! stars' boyfriends.

8:24 - Phil Simms says the Saints weren't out playing patty cake in preparation for the Super Bowl.  Whew. Now I can put my mind at ease.

8:28 - Pierre Thomas throws salt in my fantasy football wound by doing what he should have been doing all year.

8:32 - Jim Nantz says the onside kick was the first in the Super Bowl that did not come in the fourth quarter.  Phil Simms response: Are you sure?? ....Dynamite drop in, Monte.  Those broadcasting classes are really paying off.

8:38 - Classic Peyton Manning drive.  Great run by Addai to cap it off.  He quietly had a great year in Indy.

8:39 - Wow. Chevy Chase has not aged well.

8:49 - Garrett Hartley kicks his third FG.  As the kick rises, Phil Simms says: Swish.  He is on fire tonight.

8:57 - The Colts snap it 1 second too late at the end of the quarter.  Somewhere Andy Kardos is fuming.

9:02 - Biiiiiig 4th down conversion near midfield for the Colts.  The Madden player in me was screaming for them to go for it.

9:15 - Jeremy Shockey is back in relevance.  Still will never forget the classic shot of him during Pats/Giants game when he was plastered in the luxury box.

9:22 - 5:34 left, down 7.  Who is betting against Manning? Not me.

9:25 - The Colts are living off the "Jailbreak Screen".  I'm now going to have nightmares of Brad Banks and the 2002 Iowa game.

9:29 - Insert foot in mouth.  Tracy Porter...Jason Avant used to TORCH that guy at Indiana.  There's still a little meat left on this bone.

9:31 - And Porter has the Anthony Mason hair!! Perfect.

9:32 - If the Saints lose this game now, Peyton Manning will be more hated in New Orleans than Hurricane Katrina.  On the subject of Katrina, has any name ever taken as big of a hit as Katrina?  Has anyone named their kid this since the hurricane?

9:43 - A third down run?  Did Gary Quisno call that play?

9:44 - "Go Saints Go"...real original sign there lady.

9:49 - Who gets MVP? Gotta be Drew Brees, right? I'm hoping for Tracy Porter just so we can say that a guy who had writing in his hair won the Super Bowl MVP.

9:52 - Dan Marino sounds like he is cutting a wrestling promo.  It must be really loud in that stadium.

9:53 - Who else was hoping to see some impromptu boob on Bourbon Street?

9:57 - There has never been a more uncomfortable old white man than Len Dawson walking the Lombardi Trophy through a mob of black Saints players.  Surprised he didn't have one hand on his wallet.

9:58 - I find it amazing that the owner is the first one that gets to hoist the trophy.  He did absolutely nothing besides having some money.  Lets outlaw this for future awards ceremonies.  Sean Payton or Drew Brees should get first crack.

10:05 - I'm glad Survivor is now ripping of Real World/Road Rules Challenges.  "Heroes vs Villains" is just a ripoff of "Good Guys vs Bad Guys".

Wellllllllllll, that is all I've got for tonight.  All in all, it was an entertaining Super Bowl that featured two elite quarterbacks in their prime.  In the end, the momentum from the onside kick carried the Saints to their first ever Super Bowl title.
