My Head is Filled With Things to Say

I turned CBS at 5:30 yesterday afternoon to watch the Super Bowl. I figured it would be a fun little exercise to put down some thoughts as the game moved along, followed by some editing, and then finally posting it. Well, I didn't edit anything (with the exception of spelling and a couple of gramatical errors). Here's what transpired.

Pre-Game

- I’m going Colts 37, Saints 24. Peyton can do what he wants when he wants. Brees is not there just yet.
- Bill Cowher just paraphrased Herm Edwards – you play to win the game. Sound advice.
- Katie Couric is weird looking. I know this isn’t too PC, but I can’t think of any other words to describe her. She should have at least pretended that she knew something about football
- James Brown’s tie is definitely something that you shouldn’t take your eye off of. That thing might win MVP of the half time and post game show.
- Whoever thought of the combination that creates bruschetta deserves a kiss.
- Just checked my boxes and realized that I didn’t pick a score that would let me win. I would have blamed it on the excitement of the game but I’m more excited to see the commercials.
- I like Jay-Z. He’s retired more times than Brett Favre, but for some reason it doesn’t bother me that much. It might be cause he’s wearing a carnation on his blazer. Yes, I am that old.
- Jim Nantz just called us all friends. He loves us, and we love him.
- The commercials haven’t even started and I heard “These commercials are boring!” Today might be a long day.
- 1980’s Saturday Night’s Main Event to welcome the Saints!! I may need to change my pick.
- Was that the CSI: Miami music? Now I’m happy I didn’t go with the Saints. Go Colts!
- Congrats Brian Waters.
- I didn’t know Queen Latifah still sang. The things you learn on Super Bowl Sunday.
- Glad to see Jim Caldwell doesn’t blink. Then again, do robots blink?
- Carrie Underwear started singing, and Jim Caldwell blinked, but his eyes didn’t close. She may have that much power that she makes robots show emotion.
- Love Larry Bird reprising his role as Larry Bird in a McDonald’s Super Bowl ad. Guess Jordan was too busy ruining, um I mean, running the Bobcats.

First quarter

- I don’t know if I’m excited about this game yet. I am excited for the chicken quesadillas though.
- Does hair like that weight you down? I wouldn’t know. I don’t have any.
- Peyton may take them down the field in 4 plays. I don’t know if the Saints really stand a chance.
- Caldwell, still not blinking.
- ABE VIGODA!!!!! BETTY WHITE!!!! DREAMS ARE COMING TRUE!!!!
- Second commercial to bring back on the glory days of TV, and Jim McMahon doesn’t look too good. The thong was hot though.
- I may flip flop a few times tonight. Feel a 7-3 lead for the Saints coming on.
- I was wrong. Probably no need to flip flop tonight. Colts are going to win.
- Doritos might be winning the commercial contest right now, although Bud Light did have some scientist on scientist action going on right now.
- Can the Colts shut them out? If they do I won’t win any money, so I’m going with no, they can’t.
- I would love to know where Joseph Addai was all season? That was his longest gain of the season. And he’s going to kill the Saints and win the MVP. Unless James Brown’s tie starts playing.
- Peyton Manning won’t be stopped. He could play defense and return one for a TD if he wanted. He might be that good.
- Glad to see Monty Burns isn’t immune to the economy.
- Doritos definitely winning the commercial wars. Bud Light a close second. Now let’s hope someone else steps up. Like these beavers, which were just called “So cute.” Not sure if I agree, but you can’t go wrong with animals playing instruments.

Second Quarter

- Was that Shamu the killer whale, which I used to see at Sea World? Good to see he’s still getting some work.
- Now the Saints are driving. Highest scoring Super Bowl ever? Can the Saints come back from the biggest Super Bowl deficit of all time? Will a commercial break bring something other than Doritos or Bud Light?
- Dwight Freeney has the strongest left hand ever. And he got to Brees with a torn ligament. I can’t walk when I stub my toe; he’s destroying NFL quarterbacks on one leg. I’m a loser.
- Jay Leno and Dave Letterman separated by Oprah. Hell is definitely getting all the snow that hit the south this past weekend. At least Jay could have worn a Saints jersey. Yet one more reason that I can’t stand him.
- Why isn’t anyone wearing pants this commercial break?
- There is a very good possibility that each team will own 2 quarters each. Right now, the second quarter belongs to the Saints. This leads me to believe that whichever team owns the 4th quarter will win. For sake of my prediction, lets hope it’s the Colts.
- Dove for men? I may need to pick that up cause sometimes I’m just not comfortable in my own skin.
- If I were a Colts fan at this point, I wouldn’t be too confident. If I was a Saints fan, I wouldn’t be too worried. Alas I’m a Giants fan so I’m just looking forward to chicken quesadillas.
- Where were the Colts defensive backs on that play? Less than 5 yards and they’re playing to cover for the TD? I could have gained the first down on that play, and I have a stubbed toe.
- The Saints down to the 1 down by 7, and they take it to the 2 minute warning. If they score on the first play, they will give Peyton about 1:50 to drive down the field. I’m going with a 17-10 Colts lead at halftime. Again, I won’t win any money. My numbers are just not realistic.
- CSI: Miami just used Star Wars music for their promo. I will start watching that show now.
- I don’t know why Helena Bonham Carter annoys me so much. Is it because she’s so freakin’ ugly? That might be it, but I can’t be sure.
- Punxsutawney Polamalu just took the lead as best commercial of the Super Bowl. Kudos to Tru TV
- Going for it on 4th down…and no he didn’t get it. I think I may have taken the points. Or throw it. I wouldn’t have run it. Now they’ve given Peyton 1:49 and 99 yards to go. I’m hoping for 3 plays.
- I would be wrong yet again. I’m stopping with the hoping and the wishing and just talk about the commercials.
- Jim Nantz is calling us friends again…and telling Jason to take that skirt off. He might be the greatest announcer/human being of all time.
- The only thing you prevent when you play prevent defense is stopping the offense. I don’t know why teams continue to play it that way in the last 2 minutes of every half.
- People who had 0 and 3 just let out a really loud curse word.
- Caldwell is still not blinking. Not even Steve Tasker can get him to show a human emotion.

Half Time

- Did I just really see Kobe Bryant winning an NBA title during the flo.tv commercial, followed by a graphic asking me if I remember where I was when…???? I don’t know about you, but I don’t know if the Lakers winning an NBA title really correlate to a “remember where you were” moment.
- Welcome The Who to the middle of the field. Millions of people under the age of 25 just changed the channel to watch Teen Mom on MTV.
- I have an undeniable urge to watch Girl Next Door.
- COME ON ROGER DALTRY NIPPLE SLIP!!! GIVE THE FANS SOMETHING!!!
- There’s like 10 more minutes of this, but that’s only if Pete Townshend survives. He definitely looks like he needs an oxygen mask.
- CSI: MIAMI!!!!!
- Pete Townshend just showed his mid-drift. That’s right on par with Janet Jackson’s boob. You can’t argue with this.
- Didn’t think that the half time score would be 10-6. I figured there was a chance we were looking at 20-17, 24-14, 28-17, but again, I was wrong. Could my prediction be that far off? I don’t think so, but I haven’t been right all night. If I was a fan of either team, I wouldn’t be that confident nor would I be that worried. This game is there for either team to win. Again, whoever wins the 4th quarter will win this game.

Third Quarter

- An onsides kick to start the half? Sean Payton must have played Tecmo Bowl in the locker room to see if that play would work.
- Caldwell is probably mad, but you couldn’t tell cause he has no human emotions. And the ball bounced off of Hank Baskett, which means that Kendra won’t let him into her sacred grounds tonight.
- The Saints have come to play in this 3rd quarter. They won the 2nd, and are thus far winning the 3rd, which means Peyton will win the 4th, and you know what that means…
- BTW, chicken quesadillas were fantastic.
- Saints just made the Colts defense look like a JV team. I may have underestimated this Drew Brees guy.
- Megan Fox, followed by punch VW. Greatest back-to-back commercial in Super Bowl history. But I highly doubt Stevie saw that car.
- Millions of people just called 1-877-987-6401, including me. I love Barney, and I will meet him in 2016.
- Seriously, where the heck has Joseph Addai been all season!!???!!!!????
- Nantz that ball got to that point cause Peyton is the best quarterback of all time. Recognize Nantz.
- Really???? Addai????? All season!!!! I think I was just suckered into drafting him in the second round, and that’s just not a good idea. And finally this game has turned into what we hoped it would be.
- I hope they don’t make another Vacation movie. That commercial was about all I could take.
- KGB!!!!! Great placement for them. I’m expecting 200,000 texts.
- Like a wolf…milk-a-holic! E*Trade just took the lead. Sorry Troy Polamalu.
- Gotta tighten up the tackling on the Colts end. Doesn’t look like they are going to do that. That means that Brees is going to light them up.
- Brees going for the Simms pass completion percentage SB record. It’s not going to happen. YOU CAN’T PASS ON THE GIANTS!
- See, take the points. Always take the points. Now you’ll only be down by 8 after this series.
- Aw, Google was so sweet.
- CBS loses so much money with all their promos. We know that CSI and NCIS are on the network. They are already the top rated shows on TV. Show less promos and get more money for your ads.
- Peyton not knowing how much time was remaining in the quarter is making my stomach feel a little queasy about the Colts winning the 4th quarter, thus them winning the game.

Fourth Quarter

- This game isn’t exactly the highflying affair that everyone thought it would be. Now I’ve gone into full football evaluation mode.
- Wait. It’s only 9:00? And that was the first long ball of the game? And it was thrown like that? I’m losing faith in this game.
- Going for it on 4th. Bring it!
- Jim Caldwell isn’t afraid to make a big decision because he doesn’t understand the consequences of his actions. Robots have no feelings.
- That’s a long field goal. Vinatieri would have made it.
- The Saints are going to win. Yes, I flip flopped.
- No turnovers yet. There is a possibility that the first one will be the biggest one.
- I’m very impressed that there hasn’t been a non-call all game. But just like the lack of turnovers, it may be coming. And it may be huge.
- Jeremy Shockey just scored a touchdown. I will now burn all my Giants jerseys. Which is definitely followed by a 2-point conversion……..and that didn’t happen. Peyton and the Colts still have a chance to win the 4th. If they do, I am a genius. If they don’t, I will quit everything that has to do with sports and just go with TV and movies. That I know.
- This challenge can go either way. I’m going with no catch. Phil Simms thinks it can be overturned…………….And it is. Again, I’m a loser. Saints up 7, but my pick is right there. If the Colts score 17 points in 5 minutes, I’m golden.
- I don’t know about you, but screaming chickens are always funny because they are so delicious.
- There is a teeny tiny feeling in the pit of my stomach that we are about to see a Peyton turnover for a TD. I hope I’m wrong, but I can’t help it.
- And yes Nantz and Simms, there is a chance we are looking at overtime, but that won’t happen.
- Peyton is just being Peyton right now.
- Al Gore is making commercials now?
- THERE IT IS!!!!! A PEYTON TURNOVER FOR A TD!!!!!! HOW DID I KNOW IT?????? CAUSE I’M A GENIUS!!!!!
- I shouldn’t be too excited since there’s still 3:10 left and they can score 2 TD’s in no time.
- And the Colts are done.
- Maybe not.
- For a guy, Go Daddy.com should be the best commercials during the Super Bowl. But because they don’t allow the lovely women to finish taking off their jackets before they cut away, it’s a huge disappointment. Sort of like the Colts offense tonight.
- Again, Addai? Really? If the Colts win, he needs to get MVP of the game.
- THAT WAS A STUPID CALL! WHY RUN THE BALL?
- Wayne should have caught that ball. You need to play like a champion. Drop that ball and lose the game. Good work.
- Congrats to the Saints. You won the 4th quarter, thus winning the game.
- Cue the confetti.
- NEW E*TRADE COMMERCIAL!!! Not that funny. Boo.
Post-Game

- James Brown’s tie is definitely winning right now. Closely followed by E*Trade, Doritos, Drew Brees, and all the beads that are being worn by the CBS studio crew. Hopefully Shannon Sharpe showed some boobage to get them. We can only hope since he might possibly have very sexual nips.
- The Crazies? I need to see that!!! Chances are my family is the main stars.
- The NFL trophy presentation stage is missing the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy, and the Scarecrow. Cue the confetti.
- Sean Payton almost launched the trophy 25 yards. Cue more confetti.
- Drew Brees. Best second grade haircut in the NFL. Cue even more confetti.
- Nantz’s voice is very powerful. He’s almost Emperor circa Empire Strikes Back.
- And just like that football is over for another 7 months. The only thing that will carry me through then is the prospect of Undercover Boss being a gigantic hit.
- Jim Caldwell still won’t blink. That was just about the most amazing act of control I’ve ever seen.

So brings us to the end of my very first Super Bowl blog. It was a lot of fun to do, but reading through it, I’m sure that I won’t even understand it. Treat this as a test run, followed by many changes and edits along the way. Then again, I may end up liking everything that I read, which will make this an on going happening. I can deal with it if you can.
