Here we are, Super Bowl Sunday, Steelers versus Cardinals, about 20 minutes before kickoff. The pre-game hype is reaching it’s apex. The so-called experts have weighed in on their predictions (NBC is split, 5 for the Steelers, 5 for the Cardinals).
Around these parts, the snacks are being eaten and the man soda is being chugged. J2 and Ameer are in the house, as well as John and Judy. Emma, Fehmeen, and Farah will make an appearance later on around 5 pm.
As for me, I’m going to attempt to blog throughout the game, keeping you abreast on my status in the pool that I’m participating in as well as commenting on everything else.
Here goes.

Oops, no 3d glasses. That was a waste of 60 seconds on me. At least I didn’t look like a tool.
HALFTIME: Time for Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuce. Will he exceed his 12 minutes of allotted time? I say no. I predict parts of 5 songs.
10th Ave Freezeout>Born to Run>Working on a Dream>Glory Days
Close, 4 songs. 12 minutes, 40 seconds. Bruce still has it. He seems to be in a lot better mood now that Bush is out of office.
Quick note: if the Cards score a td and the pat and hold the Steelers scoreless, Emma wins.
Begin the second half. Fumble, Kurt Warner. Challenge. Incomplete pass. 4th down.

Just curious – does “10th Avenue Freeze-Out” still remind you of John??
I was half hoping to see Bruce trot out John for a quick rendition of “The Streets of Philadelphia”.
Don’t forget the ever-popular, “I’m goin’ down, down, down, down…”
I thought you were going to kill him.
