5:07- They let Matt Lauer in the White House? Is it wrong to hate Matt Lauer? Does this make me a bad person?
5:17- Is Barrack hungover? He's not very sharp right now. Obviously you don't have to be for an interview with Mat Lauer, but still. Holy shit! Barrack Obama just addressed Jessica Simpson's weight battle!
5:35- Ok. I can't really handle this piece on Larry Fitzgerald. Not this year. By all accounts, this is a guy who's not very difficult to root for.
5:53- Still not really sure who I want to win this game, but I like Ben Roethlesberger, and I respect Pittsburgh's fanbase.
6:04- Millen just picked the Cardinals. It's official, the Steelers are going to win the Super Bowl. Surprise surprise, Holmgren picked Arizona, explaining the pick by mentioning that he apparently likes quarterbacks.
6:13- I still can't believe the Giants aren't playing in this game.
6:19- I really hate this Best Buy geek with the frosted tips. If I was at the Super Bowl party where he set up the TV just before kickoff, while everyone else was high fiving him, I'd be outside lighting his car on fire.
6:22- Walter Payton highlights are amazing.
6:23- They just mentioned Dawkins as a finalist for man or humanitarian of the year. 
He's crazy.
He's crazy.
6:26- Kurt Warner won the award. God is good.
6:27- Jennifer Hudson's singing the national anthem. This poor girl had an incredibly trying year.
6:32- No good commercials yet. Jeff Bridges narrated a Hyundai commercial and Kevin Spacey a Honda Accord commercial.
6:33- Shit. Just realized I'm not live. I must have paused the coverage to go poop or something.
6:36- 38 yards later. Wow. Hines Ward might have a bad knee but someone should still think about covering him.
6:38- Roethlesberger to Miller down to the one. Pittsburgh looks great so far. Arizona... not so much.
6:40- That was a gutsy touchdown plunge by Roethlesberger. I think I'm rooting for Pittsburgh.
6:42- A guy just got thrown out of of an office building for recommending his company stop providing Bud Light for every meeting. That was fantastic. If only Bud Light was any good.
6:44- Wow, the Roethlesberger touchdown was overturned. Were any of those angles conclusive? Even as a "composite"?
6:47- I don't like to like commercials, especially ones that make attempts at sentimentality, but the Forever Young Pepsi commercial was pretty cool.
6:49- Anquan Boldin went to FSU? I don't remember that.
6:55- Great possession, Arizona. Way to conserve your energy.
6:57- That was not "one heck of a defensive play" as Madden just said, that ball was underthrown by Big Ben.
6:58: Wow, that Roethlesberger scramble and pass to Miller was crazy. This kind of stuff is obviously somewhat risky, but he doesn't chuck the ball across the field AND 50 yards down the field after scrambles like that, which sets him apart from Brett Favre.
7:03- Some guy just said "Strange days indeed," then kissed a chimpanzee on the mouth. I love it.
7:08- Scoring drive: 11 plays, 69 yards. I could see this getting ugly. Arizona looks like they're being out-classed. Thankfully, it's still early.
7:16- Will Matt Leinhart ever be a good NFL quarterback? I'm not ready to rule the possibility out yet.
7:18- That was strange. Troy Palumalu just went sailing by Edgerin James at the speed of light. Edgerin James was moving in slow motion. Palumalu's been a little out of control.
7:19- It looks like Warner might be establishing a rhythm.
7:20- Impressive touchdown drive. Warner can be pretty scary when he's on.
7:27- Adrienne Wilson just missed a tackle of Willie Parker in the backfield, then ran him down ten yards down the field. How come I had never heard of this guy before this season? What's that you say? He's an eight year veteran who's spent his entire career in Arizona? Oh... That's probably why.
7:31- Big stop by the Arizona defense with 4 and a half minutes left in the half. Even bigger punt return by Steve Breaston. The Cards are in business. And we've got ourselves a football game.
7:33- Wow. That's a huge 15 yard penalty on Edgerin James. You don't see that called very often. As such, I can't say with any amount of certainty whether it was a prudent or questionable call. Either way, it was big. Even bigger when you consider they followed it up by allowing a sack. Third and long. Defense wins championships.
7:37- Squandered opportunity for Arizona.
7:40- "Drinkability" is a thinly veiled reference to the fact that you can drink 50,000 Bud Lights, get blind drunk, all without that annoying taste that comes with real beers. They're not fooling me. Strange that they actually advertise "binge-ability".
7:42- Deflection just got picked off by Carlos Dansby. The Cards are hanging around.
7:46- Lemar Woodley. With a name like that this kid had two options: Linebacker or jail. Jk, jk. I'm sure he's a very nice man.
7:49- How do you explain waiting until there's 45 seconds left in the first half to get the ball to Larry Fitzgerald?
7:53- Interception! That was AMAZING!!! One hundred yards!!! Harrison's so gassed. I can't believe the half is going to end like this. That was HUGE!
8:10- Bruce Springstein is a penis. His preamble is making me uncomfortable.
8:14- He just slid on his knees into the camera man. If it weren't for that camera, he'd have slid right off the stage, which would have made my day.
8:17- I forgot Silvio Dante was an E-Street guy. I had a dream once: Max Weinberg was up a tree in my front yard. I had to call the fire department to get him down. That's all I remember. I hope the fire department never came.
8:20- More cowbell.
8:25- How old was that kid playing with the Nerf swords?? A little too old to be playing with Nerf swords, no?
8:30- Arizona had the worst running game in the NFL during the regular season? That's pathetic. Edgerin James looks pretty good so far this half.
8:33- Someone get out the rulebook. Warner's hand was moving forward but he wasn't throwing the football. He was getting his ass kicked.
8:42- Frigin' Budweiser. Why would a third generation American Clydesdale that grew up in the United States have a Scottish accent? Frauds.
8:45- That was a huge roughing the passer call. Questionable. They call this too much.
8:53- That was actually a terrible call. Adrienne Wilson lost his balance and ran into the holder. I guess the refs have no discretion for stuff like that. That's potentially a game changer
8:57- Like I said, POTENTIAL game changer. Arizona held them to three. This is a good thing.
8:58- This Career Builder commercial about knowing when it's time to get a new job.... I display all of the symptoms (screaming in my car in the morning, crying, fantasizing about punching small animals, wishing I was somewhere else, being ostracized by co-workers, et al.) Except I don't sit next to a hairy guy in a speedo who cuts his toenails at his desk. That'd send me over the top. The other stuff though, it's all there.
9:02- What happened to Brenda Warner's lesbian hairdo?! She looks like the kind of chick who likes dudes now. God is good.
9:04- Good call Al Michaels. Why haven't the Cardinals taken any shots down field? If you believe, John Madden, it's because of the Steeler secondary.
9:20- The Cards are marching right down the field. They're getting Fitzgerald involved too. Will it be too little too late?
9:26- Wow. Fade. Larry Fitzgerald. You can't defend that. Not fair.
9:32- A Pittsburgh three-and-out later and we've got ourselves a ball game.
9:35- Ike Taylor is a moron. That was the dumbest penalty I've ever seen. Ike, you know there's five minutes left in the Super Bowl, right? And that you're team's only up 6?
9:39- Defense. 4th and 20.
9:41- What was wrong with what Harrison did? I don't think he threw a punch. He just pushed the guy down.
9:43- First down. Nice throw by Roethlesberger. Game over.
9:44- Never mind, game's back on: Holding in the end zone. Safety.
9:49- Touchdown Larry Fitzgerald. I don't believe it. I mean I believe it, but I don't believe it.
9:52- Throw the ball, Ben! Throw it! You're going to get another safety!
9:52 and a half- He escaped, and threw for a first down. This is a great game.
10:00- That was one of the greatest catches I've ever seen. Two consecutive years, two of the greatest Super catches of all time. I'm speechless.
10:07- Arizona's out of timeouts. 44 yards to go in fourteen seconds.
10:10- Game, set, match. I'm exhausted. That was exhilarating.

Agreed on the 24 hour thing. That was good though.
