Previous Post 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.
