Liveblogging the Bowl
A Really, Really Good Football Player vs. A City’s Karma
______________________________________
That’s the way I see this Bowl, btw. As I’ve mentioned, I think the Vikings should be playing in the game, but for the asteroid-like karma of the City of New Orleans. Let’s see if that’s enough to beat probably the greatest QB in the game, and maybe… ever.
Picking up after Manning just took the Colts 95+ yards with a mixture of passing and clutch running from Addai. Already looking kind of bleak for the Aints, but we know they have a fast strike offense, so there’s a lot to go, heah.
Commercials thus far — kinda lame. The Go Daddy guys need to pack it in with the exact same commercial from last year. For that they paid $2.5mm? End of First Quarter… Colts 10, Saints 0. the rest of the game will be continued in comments. Feel free to add your two drachmas.

On my first beer still as well. My favorite pale ale, and highly recommended.
____________
There’s that karma, with the first bullshit penalty of the night called for the Saints. 15 yards unsporting.
__________
Breesio evades the sack and gets the ball off.
The kid from Purdue is a tough boiler maker.
_______
Oops! I guess Dwight Freeney’s ankle is okay. Jeez, he almost yanked Brees into a gopher hole. He showed a lot of presence by not fumbling, here.
Nice FG kick by the Saints indoor kicker. 10-3 Colts.
____________
Okay, the Bud commerical with the human bridge was pretty good.
___________
And the latest Scorscese flick looks creepy- good.
_____________
Looked like the Dolt returner was going to do something there. Nice ST tackle there, Saints.
What’s up with two commercials in a row about people without pants?
Oy, it’s a Dockers commercial. So sorry, not even for “free.”
_________________
Nice self-rip on Favre, circa 2020. Hologram trophy!
________
Addai, for another ten. He’s looking Marshall Faulkerian here with the pass catching on top of the running.
(That’s Roger Craig for you older blokes)
_________
The kid from Haiti dropped a pass right in his hands! That’s the freaking New Awlins karma right there, folks!
STRONGER THAN HAITI’S EARTHQUAKE!
____________
NIce rip on that stupid show “Lost” in this Bud Light commercial.
___
KISS commercial 2 min before half.
Momo shift to NO, methinks
Futes bounced back, but Nikkei down 1%
It’s da Corts. dey onry EAT holses!
__________
Colston! Guy from Jake’s own (near) hometown — Hempstead’s own Hofstra University.
They just dropped their football program this year, btw!
_____________
Catch by Shockey — if anyone can destroy the N’Awlins karma, its this guy.
This game may end up being 48-45.
____________
Hofstra REPRESENT! Colston with another big Saints catch to the five!

Latest Superbowl comment from my youngest:
Papa John’s– my FAVORITE!
(My New York bred heart cringes)
________________
ugh!
Yikes, Thomas lost his footing…. no score.
KARMIC REVERSAL???
________
KISS with MIdgets!!!???
___
I think you meant:
“KISS WITH MIDGETS!”
More exclamatory, dig?
I was confused.
And a little appalled, to be honest.
________
Funny commercial but what is True TV?
Nice gravitar
TY.
Almost as good as yours.
I never know what half of these commercials are selling. Bud Light at least incorporates its product into the jokes…
___________
that’s a good point
You always kick the FG here….
_______
Ooops! Always disliked Payton’s arrogance, even when he was with the Giants.
_______
Yes, even I know that.
Now the bug eyed sap may get a FG anyway, thanks to the N’Awlins karma.
___________-
Bring on the Who.
And did they let Pete Townsend out to perform?
Not sure he’s in prison, just not allowed to come into the States for the child porn thing.
________________
Looks like only about a 10 yard difference in passing offense.
saints need to man up here and run the ball at dwight Freeney.
Backing track is prerecorded, singing live. Staging is AMAZING
Pete’s electric is live.
Hearing the crowd sing TEENAGE WASTELAAAAND is great
PINO Paladino on bass! That was live. He is awesome.
I think they just flipped to live performance, from prerecorded track. Prob to sync with fireworks. They are sounding good.
Better than the Stones and as good as Tom Petty was.
U2 still rules the halftime show performance
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n13CU-NvPMU
Only two of em left. Sad.
________
I saw The Who @ Mohegan Sun … best live performance I’ve ever seen and I’d have to say they were better than tonight due to tonight’s shortened medley format but for their age, nobody is better than Townsend & Daltrey. Daltrey still has pipes that most can only dream of … Garfunkel’s another one from the era that still has it.
Found out that was Ringo Starr’s son on drums
Yeah … I didn’t know he was with them till Mohegan Sun … a tad better than his dad, eh?
Off to put the small one in the bath, and then bed…. back at the end of the half…
_____________
I’m a bit disappointed with the eye candy.
Last year, the Pittsburgh Steelers players really filled out their uniforms.
No one standing out for me, so far……
Not even the NO guy who had 44 shaved intohis head?
I’m looking for sexy…..
Still looking….lol.
Henderson is showing some promise….
so is gold for that matter…..
still early…
Reggie Bush is “a handsome black man.”
_________
in your opinion Jake ….
Kim Kardashian’s too, and she’s no dawg!
__
Naturally, she’s not a black man …. and she has those C-cups too, tastier than the standard K-cup ya know?
Watching Drew Brees reminds me of the time I was in West Lafayette at the XXX Family Diner across from campus. Two eggs, steak, potatoes smothered in sausage gravy and grilled biscuits. It was called the Drew Brees meal. It was his favorite meal, or so they say.
Boy am I culturally lame.
I had no idea John Entwhistle was dead. Almost eight years now. Yeeps.
__________
Let me know when the stupid halftime is over. “Who” indeud.
It’s over.
Great job by the refs there.
Not.
Bug eyed douche gambles and wins.
____
Oh Phil, Phil, my beloved Phil….
PLEASE spare me the histrionics on the “hard working” Aints.
___________
lol, I was saying, “Will you shut up?”
Sic block on Bethea on that Thomas touchdown. Stoned him cold — was that Shockey??
__________
Megan Fox commercial!
FTW!!
_______
Will win this game too.
Wait for it.
Addai want this thing as much as Manning.
_______
Holy fucking shit, no one in the entire NFL makes a throw like that except Peyton Manning.
Holy shit!
____________
To Clark, while on the run, I mean.
____________
Clark again. Jeez. Everyone wants the MVP trophy.
QB gets it by default in that case, of course.
_______________
Addai for the Touchdown! That didn’t take long.
_________
Yeah, that was sick.
E-trade (or whomever it is) has gone too far with the babies and the implied sexual situations.
___________
There’s Reggie Bush — finally!
_______
Check out the E*Trade outtakes. A couple are funny but didn’t make it- not PC (Dennis) or for whatever reason.

This one is funny but don’t know if its a Super Bowl one.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x26×9xVNH98
The “No-Defense Bowl.”
_______
Nikkei about to go green
Dey reary rike dis Manning kid.
__________
MONsanto commercial (RoundUp), bitchez!
(same boring one as last year, unfortch)
__________
Nice use of Arcade Fire’s Wake Up song by the NFL

Going on fourth and two? Think they are Shawn Payton??
THEY GET IT!!
____________
Damn! Collie had to play DB on that one. Former Jet Jonathan Vilma on the coverage, not bad.
Missed the FG… N’Awlins Karma all over again.
_______________
Beyonce, not “small.”
_________
When does the IBC commercial come on?
I heard Fly changed his mind and decided to put it on PBS instead. He wanted the tote bag.
LOL. After “Undercover Boss.”
______
Reggie Bush starting to make his presence known!
__
Crap, it had to be Shockey didn’t it? Thought that was going to get picked, too…
________
IS THAT A GOAT???
__________
Aw fack, it’s a Texas Longhorn.
_____
Tough call for the Dolts. I don’t know how you overturn the original call with that replay. Looked to me like he never had full possession of it.
______
Manning seems to be getting a little sloppy here, even thought he’s still making a lot of clutch throws.
______________
LOFL!! Checkout Fly’s recycling police on the teevee!
WTF?? What are the ad idiots thinking about? They really ARE tryiing to sell green while at the same time pointing out the whole fascist drift of the craze?
Cognitive dissonance or just bad business?
_______
Had the exact same thoughts
Well, I guess he got really sloppy there!
Karma 1
Manning 0
______
“Let’s see if that’s enough to beat probably the greatest QB in the game, and maybe… ever.”
That’s something you’ve never seen Tom Brady do in a Superbowl game …….. hmmm, greatest QB in the game/ever status certainly in doubt after that faux pas!
Hoped NO would win it (underdog status) but didn’t think they had the defense to get it done …. last few minutes proved me wrong … great game, Congrats to NO!
NO +170 in mah pocketses. Holla!
My precious!
____
Good Bet! I figured if they covered they would win. Onside kick total game changer.
Thank God Cramer’s Eagles aren’t in this he would be worse than he already is. Maybe the Eagles will wait until its NBC’s turn to broadcast. Can you see Jim ranting during the pre game….
Aigh! Cramer’s an Eagles fan? Gawd, and I thought I hated him before….
Thought he was a Jersey Giants guy….
________
He’s E A G L E S Eagles, Eagles, Eagles all the way. He has season tix and was picked out of the crowd by the NBC Sunday Night guys
Olberdouche, you mean?
And could the NFL have a less charismatic commissioner than Roger Goodell? Whatta loser.
_______
Ugh, Reggie Wayne… previously thought to be on HOF track… but you can’t drop ones like that.
Ah well, the Rage man is happy.
Look for him to return back next Thursday, lol.
Laissez le bon temps roulet, mothaflickahs!!
_________
Congrats Nawlins!
Great job Jake…..your takes crack me up…..beautiful game. Don’t know what fleas was talking bout…I was aroused the whole game!!!
TC….Did you hear about the waiter in Boca Raton that goes to the table and asks “Is Anything OK”?
I think I know that restaurant… and I head down Boca Way (actually Delray) in less than a month.
___________
Second kcbill’s comment. Good stuff, Jake. Of course, Boom can always be counted on for color as well.
WTF’s with silver? Have alchemists figured a way to make it out of old socks and shit?
Extremely odd behaviour with gold flat and the dollar pulling back this morning. Someone’s head faking– probably the dollar….
______________
ANV traded down for about two seconds — did you grab any E8?
Looks like the silver was indicating dollar strength after all… at least “for now.”
_________
Not yet … soon
Dollar picking up some momentum on the down side…. this COULD be confirmation… buckle up.
______________
Off to do some errands …back on the other side of noon.
