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.
