That looks a little funny on replay, the defender not looking with his hand up diving one way and the ball goes behind his back.

Hmm, now the Patriots need to get 8 points somehow (since I have 9-8).

Many of the local sports guys tweeting that the police were escorting a drunk fan out and he fell down the stairs while leaving. $2k well spent.

My wife just asked me who that actor was. I told her he was on FNL. She says "I should have watched that show with you, I think."

I'm kindof happy that Coke has gone back to cute ads for the year. Won't score huge with the ad meter but helps build the brand

Broadcast ads & online ads were sold separately.

In New-Media First, Super Bowl to Be Streamed Online | MediaWorks - Advertising Age

edit to add, from a different article --
Quote:
The digital stream -- the first time the Super Bowl will be shown in such fashion in the U.S. -- will contain fewer ads than the TV broadcast, including just a portion of the game's overall TV ad roster. "There are going to be fewer advertisements with less messaging, something that would be more conducive to how you would expect the digital experience to be," Mr. Winter said.

Giants punter is killing it right now. Pats aren't ideally constructed for 90+ yard drives, unless they are facing the Dolphins.

Weatherford's punting is reminding me of how I thought LSU's punter was the MVP of the first LSU-Bama game, especially for that 75-yarder when LSU was pinned deep after the interception of Alabama.

I'd be curious to see if they change after halftime, or at certain times on the clock or something. It's possible they sold them by the quarter or the hour (as opposed to more common rotations).

This game sucks. Who wants a rematch? The Saints or Packers would have at least scored more than this.

Yeah, we should totally go for a horribly flawed beauty pageant to determine who plays in the Super Bowl
