Blogging Super Bowl XLIV: First Quarter

4:32 - Brees looks calm on first drop back despite a lot of pressure. Good omen?

4:33 - Nothing like a deep ball on 3rd and 2. Really overthrew him. What was the point of that? To beat Indy, you have to have some long drives. Not a good start. In other news, my wife is still trying to figure out why Simms and Nantz wore purple and orange, respectively. Her latest comment, "well, there's orange in the logo. But that doesn't explain Simms..."

4:34 - Such a typical demoralizing first play from the Indy offense. Cover Dallas Clark with a LB and you will pay.

4:35 - Wow, that's one hell of a neck beard.

4:37 - This is a clinic so far by Peyton Manning. Don't get greedy, just take what the defense gives you.

4:37 - Nice recovery by Harper on first down there. Also, isn't Tracy Porter the female NBA ref?

4:38 - Manning is hot. He's even hitting guys while back-pedaling? This could be a long night for the Saints D.

4:39 - First mistake of the night coincides with a third down. Lucky for Saints.

4:42 - "Oh, they're not empty." Nice.

4:43 - Snickers & Betty White - even better. You have to get creative to make "that's not what your girlfriend says," still be funny.

4:44 - Asked my wife what she thought of the Tebow ad - "What was it for?" Can't believe there was that much controversy over that ad.

4:45 - He was down. His elbow was down and there had been contact.

4:45 - What is the point of Hyundai? That ad sucked.

4:46 - BOOST MOBILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!

4:46 - That Doritos ad was strange. Maybe I'm too old to laugh at that? It's entirely possible.

4:48 - Head to the mountains. Lazy coverage by Hayden right there.

4:50 - Sorry, Marques, he'll hit you in the hands next time.

4:51 - I said to anyone who asked me all week that the Saints have to play a perfect game to win. So far, despite that downed punt, they are not doing that. Manning and Garcon messed up that third down throw. It wasn't anything the Saints did.

4:52 - Much better second effort from Doritos, and Dr. Marvin Candle/Dr. Edgar Halliwax for Bud Light? Good times. Liking the efforts so far from Madison Ave.

4:55 - Wow, I don't think the Colts running backs have combined for that much consecutive yardage in a long time.

4:57 - Two consecutive throws where Manning had to throw off his back foot, with two incompletions. But then Manning makes a great audible and they get another 10+ yard run out of Addai. When's the last time that happened?

4:58 - Who is this guy wearing #29 and what did he do with Joseph Addai?

5:00 - My wife is getting really upset with the choppiness of the camera.

5:01 - Comment just deleted by me - "Ok, Manning is no longer on fire." Just when you let up for a second, he burns you. Perfect balance by the Colts on that drive.

5:02 - Nice job, Coca-Cola. And once again, Go Daddy's ad makes incredibly little sense. Also, Go Daddy, they have this thing called porn now. I don't need to go to your website to see racy material online. Thanks though.

5:06 - Doritos casket? Genius. Bud Light auto-tune? Not so much. It would have been funny two years ago though.
