6:59 - So, Peyton Manning hasn't played poorly or anything, but his last TD pass was 31 minutes of game time ago.
7:01 - There's just been a lot of un-Manning-like throws in this one, and that deep ball was example numero uno.
7:03 - After Wayne had just one catch for five yards in the first three quarters, Manning threw to hinm on three straight plays, including the fourth-and-two.
7:04 - And the Austin Collie for Super Bowl MVP campaign takes another hit with the two play combo of an "oof" of a screen pass, and then Vilma beating him in coverage 30 yards downfield. Not a good sequence for Collie.
7:05 - That missed field goal was the momentum shift the Saints needed. I have to think the Colts should have gone for it again.
7:07 - That was a good effort by Pop Secret and Emerald Nuts, and while I'm interested to see if they made some sort of crossover product, the ad just wasn't funny enough.
7:09 - I'm glad they explained that Stover replay. That was a bit confusing. In other news, Brees is officially having a better game than Manning. I didn't expect that at all.
7:14 - The Saints made that look way too easy.
7:15 - The Saints should challenge it. He was down (and in) with possession before it was knocked out.
7:17 - And they did. Good call by the Saints. Lance Moore needs to be rewarded for that inhuman effort, and it's a good TD the second the ball breaks the plane.
7:18 - YES! Although I'd love to know how the line judge blew that call. It was pretty obvious.
7:22 - This has been the perfect storm - the ads were better in the first half, and the game has been better in the second half. Also, it's been more than 40 minutes of game time since Manning threw a TD pass. When was the last time that happened, even across two games?
7:23 - Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh. So close.
7:25 - These defenses have to be pretty tired at this point. There's been a lot more YAC in the fourht quarter.
7:26 - Austin Collie misses another pass, and then in true Colts style, gets up and asks for the flag. Typical.
7:27 - What the hell is the Green Car Journal? Whatever it is, it's not nearly half as cool as Charles Barkley. But why waste Lamar Odom there? Taco Bell should have come up with some sort of candy item for him to pump!
7:28 - Phil Simms - "I would keep the extra guys in coverage." Saints blitz six, and they get the pick six. Sorry Peyton. WHO DAT!!!! Geaux Saints!!! That is how you jump a route.
7:33 - Just as an aside, the Doritos Warrior was awesome, the Bud Light Book Club was awesome, but the E-Trade baby is no longer cute. Time to move on E-Trade.
7:34 - Best text of the night from a friend - "Brady just got his first non-Gisele related woody since 2006."
7:35 - The contrasting styles really came into play tonight. Colts didn't go for it on fourth down and suffered with their missed goal, whereas the Saints have taken just about every chance possible. The Saints played to win, and the Colts played to not lose.
7:37 - I'm still flummoxed by this Joe Montana endorsement by Skechers. First, he doesn't appear in the ad, but his quote and his voice does, which is strange to start. Second, he has no reason to try and get in shape since he's never been fat. Third, I seriously doubt Joe Montana fans are Skechers' target market. That ad is the height of "how can we pretend to make our ad special for the Super Bowl?" Just a half-@$$ed attempt.
7:41 - Wow, that was pretty blatant offensive PI. But I'm still surprised it got called.
7:43 - Reggie Wayne developed a case of alligator arms at the worst possible time. Geaux Saints! I've rarely been so happy for a team that wasn't my own to win.
7:45 - Aside from the Saints, the big winners in this game are Tom Brady and Joe Montana (his strange Skechers ad aside), because now it's hard to put Manning in their group now.
7:47 - I agree with the Twitter-verse - Sean Payton is the real Super Bowl MVP. But also Brees. Brees will win.
7:48 - Well, it was fun to give this a whirl. If you actually read this, and I doubt any of you did, I hope you enjoyed yourself! I know I did.

"The Saints played to win, and the Colts played to not lose."
Swank, I think this comment says it all in regards to my feelings about Peyton Manning. I actually don't have anything against Manning as he's one of the greatest QB's who has ever played the game. My issue has been more with the Colts and their conservative philosophy which comes directly from Tony Dungy. Yes, I know Dungy isn't with the team any more but his former staff is. Heck, even Jim Caldwell said it was Tony's team. I've always felt the Bucs could have cashed one in under Dungy and I've also felt the Colts should have been able to cash more than one in with the Colts. Dungy may be gone but "Dungyball" still lives on.
