Anyone watching CBS right now? (Superbowl comments)

[SackAttack]

He will always retain some amount of coolness points for that.

And what he doesn't retain, he can steal from KWhit for spelling Inigo's name wrong. ;)

Bah. Close enough.

If Addai and Rhodes had been one guy instead of two, one of them had gotten the bulk of the touches over the other, I think one of them wins it.

That single back would have been unanimous MVP. Also they'd be a near-god.

Combined stat line:

40 carries, 190 yards, 1 touchdown
11 catches, 74 yards

CBS came back from commercial to more post-game analysis only to have the camera pan back and show that the analysis was being watched on a TV by the Criminal Minds cast who was out at a Super Bowl party. Very nice hand-off from one show to the other. I don't normally watch Criminal Minds, but I did last night.
Wait, that actually worked on people? I thought it was fairly obvious that it had switched over from the Super Bowl to Criminal Minds because it the picture had changed. Obviously, the Super Bowl looks like live video, and Criminal Minds looks like film.

Sorry, I don't mean to come off like I'm insulting anyone's intelligence here. I'm just wondering if my eye is more trained to spot that kind of thing (or maybe I'm the only one who cares).

I wasn't watching super closely since I think I had picked up the laptop and started playing FOF2k7 again, but I didn't notice the switch. I also don't remember what they were talking about to notice if they had shifted to generic topics which would be easy to record ahead of time.

dola,

My wife was sort-of watching too, and she did a double-take when she realized the shift. She was also knitting at the time, so neither of us was watching that closely.

It certainly didn't 'fool' me. It was just a clever beginning to the show.

while they did switch to some generic football talk, they played it safe, knowing that Rex Grossman was one of the QBs in the Super Bowl, they talked about turnovers.... :D

Esp. since they did it before with 3rd Rock From the Sun.

[Passacaglia]

was slowly walking in the top left corner of the end zone, he was on the field in the snap

I saw that guy, too -- people I was watching with said that was a ref.

[Passacaglia]

why didn't the colts take the field goal?

Dungy had money on the under?

[Easy Mac]

So, it seem like 93.2 million people were watching CBS last night. That's the third most... ever... of any show/event ever shown on TV. Basically 1/3rd of the country was watching this game.
