PREGAME

  • Audio/Video problems — must be the weather
  • Billy Joel didn’t butcher the anthem which is saying a lot since its Billy Joel.
  • This year’s Jessica Simpson ad for Pizza Hut is not as annoying.
  • More later

    COIN TOSS

  • Too many captains for the Bears.
  • Why would you let the kicker call the toss?

    KICKOFF

  • Gee, where have we seen this before? Hopefully, it’ll work out better than it did for Ohio State.
  • I love the rain, it’s about time there was some inclement Super Bowl weather.

    1ST QUARTER

  • Good to see Peyton Manning intercepted.
  • Colts score, d’oh!
  • What’s a matter, dome team can’t handle a wet ball?
  • Bears fumble ARGH!
  • Three fumbles in three plays, nice.
  • Woo, 85 yards!
  • TOUCHDOWN BEARS!

    HALFTIME

  • I meant to mention how much I don’t like the spinning player introductions.
  • Phil Simms just keeps getting worse as a color commentator.
  • Nice to see the Bears are still in it. Indy has missed 4 points in the kicking game, plus giving up the initial kickoff return for a TD.
  • Prince’s halftime show was about as good as they can ever get. I liked the FAMU band.
  • So, where is the Doritos Black History month commercial?
  • I don’t like the huge knots on some of the pregame show analysts neckties.
  • What have their been, six turnovers so far? Good stuff.
  • That Goulet ad was something, I couldn’t help but shoot the TV when it came on. Indy hold on?
