No point to any of this... it's just rambling while I watch the game.

So far it's all Pittsburgh (just into the second quarter and Pittsburgh just scored their touchdown.) I skipped all of the 6 or so hours of pregame show. And I had a pizza unexpectedly arrive while I was cooking dinner (I had ordered it earlier online, but the websight told me my order hadn't gone through, so I changed my mind and started making dinner instead.)

Current thoughts:

Doritos commercials are especially stupid this year.

Land of the Lost and GI Joe both look stupid, but might be fun despite (because?) of it. "Matt Lauer can suck it" indeed.

They're definitely trying to give the new Star Trek flick a heavy dose of attitude, aren't they?

I'm generally for instant replay, but I do hate every close play at the goal line being reviewed and micro-analyzed. Of course, I wanted the Steelers to score, so I'm biased in the case of the opening drive, but still...

Those 3-D glasses aren't comfortable, but the gimmick may be enough to get me to watch "Chuck" tomorrow night. Maybe I'll put the lenses into an old pair of frames.

Exciting final play of the half! 100 yard interception return as time expires... Again, the replay was annoying... it would be cheap to take away that touchdown. I'm all for replay correcting a major mistake, or catching something the officials missed, but if you have to go frame by frame to determine exactly where the ball was when a knee first touched the ground, it's pretty lame. The game's just not that precise. I'm all for establishing a "tie goes to the runner" rule, and give offenses the benefit of the doubt unless there's substantial evidence to the contrary.

It's hilarious to me that they've made such a big deal out of this superbowl halftime show, and on my station it's been shrunk to a corner of the screen so that they can cover the live lottery drawings on the same channel. I don't think I've ever been excited about a halftime show, and Springsteen doesn't do much for me either.

The commercials are already better in the second half... I liked the Coke commercial, and the moose head in the office commercial.

Hey... free breakfast at Denny's. Is it just me or are the "silly" breakfasts in those commercials (with the gum drops and whatnot) far more impressive looking than a grand slam? I mean, the fake ones are towering plates of pancakes and such, while the grand slam is tiny by comparison.

Definitely a pass and not a fumble for Arizona... although I would think it probably should have been intentional grounding. I know you can't add a penalty call on a replay though.

Hey, the Vision is a child and appearing in "Race to Witch Mountain", apparently, judging by the scene where the blond boy phases through the backseat of the cab, only to solidify and demolish the following car that rams into him.

Wow... that roughing the passer call on Rothlisburger was pretty chintzy. Not to mention it looked like a Steeler tackled an Arizona pass rusher on that play without it being called.

I didn't think Rothlisburger was out of the pocket either at the end of that drive... but it looks like he was.

I guess since there's absolutely no reason to hit the holder, it's automatically unnecessary roughness? Because it wasn't exactly a hard hit... but I can see how they'd want a rule to protect a guy kneeling on the turf for the entire play.

Ugh... A new Transformer movie where all the robots looked like chewed up scrap metal shot in ultra close-ups. I really loathe that last one.

The Pepsi commercials have kind of sucked, but I liked both Coke commercials.

The Conan O'Brian commercial was fun, but the one for Jay Leno's new show just reminded me that I DON'T LIKE HIM. Heh... I accidentally hit the caps lock when I went to shift for "I", but I'll leave it there for emphasis. Maybe it's my subconscious telling me I dislike him more than I thought.

It looks like we're heading towards an exciting finish. I hope it doesn't hinge on any more flags from the officials. No more replay would be nice too, but I really doubt that.

Wow... stupid penalty for Pittsburgh there. Coming down to the end of the game like this, how can anyone be idiotic enough to get into a fight? Especially a defensive man trying to protect a 6 point lead?

That was possibly the most obvious holding penalty I've ever seen. I don't think there was an official on the field that didn't through the flag. College officials watching at home most likely through a flag.

The good thing for Pittsburgh is that Arizona doesn't use a lot of time since they pass every down. Either way, Pittsburgh should get the ball back.

Wow... What's the point of putting your safeties deep if a guy can go 65 yards right up the middle of the field?

I didn't think the safety on the holding call was that big of a deal (I mean if the completion for the first down wasn't going to count anyway), since the obvious thing to do would have been to take the safety rather than punt out of your own endzone anyway.

Pittsburgh gamblers are really going to be hoping for overtime...

Cripes there are a lot of penalties in this game.

That was another exciting Superbowl... I remember when these games were routinely lopsided.

Wow... What a great final drive by Roethlisberger and co. You know, he might not have the flashy stats for a quarterback, but just about any team would take that record of final drive comebacks.

I know Arizona fans will be pissed that they didn't get a replay on that final fumble play. I'm not sure exactly what the rule is any more. I assume the call was that he lost control of it before his arm started moving forward. Odd that they would inspect every other major call for so long and then not look at that one.
