4th Quarter

I haven't had a single football game go my way all year. Not one. I'd really like to see the Saints win this game.

The whole premise of Undercover Boss, that not a single rank and file worker would recognize their own CEO, is pretty remarkable to me.

I feel so comfortable watching Drew Brees lead this drive. I don't think he'll ever throw another interception as long as he lives.

I predict that the Saints will get a touchdown, will go for two, and that I will be nervous. That's my prediction. Let's see what happens.

Yup. Nervous as fuck. Although. That looked fucking complete.

Oh! This cow wants to be a fucking Budweiser horse! Just like that dog a few years ago.

Holy shit, overturned. This is fantastic.

Now if they can just stop Peyton Manning from doing what he does 100% of the time, we'll really have something here.

HOOOHYLYLLLYYLLYY FFUVKCING SHITTTTT GAME OVVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR



My prediction is that the game is over.

Doritos has officially overtaken Bud Light as the worst advertiser in Super Bowl history with that stupid fucking ad in the gym.

That was horrible clock management by the Colts.

Well good for the fucking Saints. Hurricane Katrina. Super Bowl XLIV. Everything evens out in the end.

3rd quarter

HOOOOOOOOLYYYYYY FUCKING CHRIST!!!!!!!!

Onside kick. I just don't know what to make of that call, but that sure was an exciting way to start the third quarter of the fucking Super Bowl.

God dammit that ruled. So frequently the world's most exciting onside kick recoveries lead to threes and out. No matter what happens, I'll be happy for at least the next five minutes.

The problem with rooting against Peyton Manning is that he's so fucking good.

Garrett Hartley has been pretty fucking impressive.

I kind of liked that Google commercial where they tracked some guy's trip to Paris and marriage to his French girlfriend through his Google searches. My roommate hated it though. Then again, my roommate hates everything.

If I can't get enough of the super bowl ads, i can go to cbssports.com/superbowlads and watch them all again. God that is useful information. It reminds me of the time Jerry Seinfeld went on The Daily Show to talk about his new American Express ad that was twelve minutes long and only available on the internet, and Jon Stewart said, "That's good, because the two most frequent complaints I hear about commercials is that they are too short and that they are not difficult enough to access."

Nfl.com just ran an ad with an Arcade Fire song. Good for them.

Now.....BRING ON THE 4TH QUARTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1





Super Bowl Live Blog-2nd quarter

They just ran two consecutive ads about not wearing pants. I guess that wasn't what they were about, exactly, but that was the gag, and they were both stupid. I wonder if they were juxtaposed deliberately for that reason. I find myself wondering why anyone anywhere ever found Super Bowl ads funny. I do have fond memories of the Bud Bowl, though. That was a good idea for sure.

Ah! An ad featuring sperm! However, the ad returned to a theme that I thought my colleague and I had successfully boycotted out of existence: being a man. That said, the ad did feature sperm.

I think it's worth noting that this is the first year in at least two years where one of the quarterbacks isn't an outspoken admirer of Jesus Christ. I don't really know what either of these quarterbacks think about Jesus Christ, but when you are an NFL quarterback and have favorable views of Jesus Christ, they tend to bubble to the surface. Also, Drew Brees seems too intelligent.

Okay, the New Orleans Saints are finally ON THE MARCH!!!! 2nd and goal. Let's see how they fuck this up. Ah! False start. That's a good start. I don't know who this Thomas guy is who plays runningback for the Saints, but I'm starting to like him.

Well I sure wish the Saints' stupid fucking 4th down call had scored a touchdown.

Okay, 10-6 at halftime. Oh! and they just said the halftime show would feature The Jew! Now this should be interesting.

Doritos seems to be working on eclipsing Bud Light for the title of Most Aggravating Super Bowl Advertiser. I think they're still a couple of years away, but keep an eye on them.

While my roommate and I suffer through the opening act for The Jew, we had a debate about how to pronounce Brett Favre's name. I told him that I'm all in favor of giving people some leeway on how to pronounce their own names but that pronouncing the letters out of order is just fucking insane. I've always been afraid to look it up though, in case there was some obscure reason why I was wrong, and then I'd have to stop being mad about it. So I finally bit the bullet and looked it up, and of course that's exactly what happened. Or so I thought. Here's the explanation: Understand that when people pronounce Favre as "Far -Ve," it is a linguistic phenomenon called "metathesis." Metathesis occurs when two neighboring sounds in a word switch places. Metathesis occurs with many words in English and other languages. Some examples in English include "comfortable" pronounced as "comfterble," "spaghetti" pronounced as "pasghetti," and "asterisk" pronounced as "asteriks."

This is their fucking explanation???? Granted I got it from ehow.com, the stupidest website on the internet, but jesus christ. Some dumbass childish mispronunciations constitute a linguistic phenomenon??

Wow, did anyone else notice that they didn't ship in tons of prancing idiots to dance around The Who during the halftime show? Also, I think they should have brought Bruce Springsteen back this year to help promote their new show, Undercover Boss. Talk about Boss time!!!!
