Should have gone for it! 51 is too far for Stover.

End of the Third. COLTS 17 Saints 16

TAKE A KNEE!

Hartley has another good kick. Colts lucky to still have the lead. If the Colts score a touchdown on this next drive, I think that it'll give them a great edge. It won't be game, but it'll be close.

Oh good, the eTrade baby is on. Goodie.

Oh good, the eTrade baby is on. Goodie.

Stover's PAT makes it 17-13. Oh, my blood pressure.

Joe Addai, you are the man. If the Colts win this game, you should be the MVP!

Commercials. I think the slug bus is the best one so far.

Can anyone tackel. Nice TD play for the Saints. COLTS 10 Saints 13.

Is it just me, or is cover 2 like cover no one?

On side kick. Wow! Saints have it.

Pinball Wizard

Who Are You
Won't Get Fooled Again

The Who were at lot like the Saints in the first half. Started off slow, but did really well near the end. How much do you think CBS paid the Who to do "Who Are You"? I understand that it's the theme to CSI, but really, it's not one of their better songs.

OK..thoughts on the first half, and the outlook for Quarter 3.

The Colts need to play smarter on Offense. A couple of dropped balls have made them pay. I think that if Manning thows more to Collie, he'll get some great yardage.

I'm encouraged. Even if the Saints have solved the open field Colts, they stall in scoring range. This game is starting to look a lot like the AFC Championship game. See...I'm cool with the Colts getting the ball first in the second half.

Last play...a 44 yard FG. COLTS 10 Saints 6. A little surprised that the game isn't 53-50 Indy at half. What happened to the high scoring game.

Who knew Jim Nanz had a sense of humor.

WOW. Nice stuff on that 4th down. The Colts won't get fooled again. Oh...I must be ready for the halftime show.

Two Minute Warning. Third and Goal at the 1. I'll take a FG.

Wow...the Saints have solved this D. I don't like this at all.

I love that the NFL Network uses cool music in their commercials. The Manning Draft commercial used "Wake Up" by Arcade Fire. They have used "Up From The South" by the Budos Band. I give them a huge music snob thumbs up.

Commercials. Why are they playing the Stripes theme in a commercial. Kinda lame. I like the Late Nite promo with Leno. You know. Leno. He used to do the Tonight Show, and had a 10pm show on NBC. He's doing the Tonight Show agian. Len-o. Nice "casual Friday" commercial for Career Builder. The Farve commercial made me laugh.

Saints get a longish FG. COLTS 10, Saints 3

How about that Dwight Freeney. How the hell can someone on one leg get a sack like that.

End of the first quarter. Nice Bridgestone commercial. Although, I'm glad that my bachelor's party wasn't like that. However, there is very little chace that you'd see a whale in Vegas.

I like the Funeral Doritos commercial. Very funny! I really hate the T-Pain/Bud light commercial. The Monster commercial is really good.

Commercial Report. Coke Simpson was OK. I still hate the Go Daddy Commercials with Danica Patrick. I wonder how she did in the race. I don't care enough to check right now.

I LOVE Pierre Garcon. That was an awesome TD pass. Stover PAT. 96 yard drive (SB record). COLTS 10, Saints 0

This is what the Colts need to do. They are running the ball and getting short gains. I love the game plan.

Runs for 10 and 16 early in this drive. Yeah, the Colts can't run the ball at all.

I like the Doritos commercial with the kid. Bud Light has lost their edge for SB commercials.

I love what I am seeing from the D.

Doritos commercial with the the Anti Bark collar was kinda lame.

Commercial report 1: Love the Betty White/Abe Vigoda Snickers. Thought that the Focus on the Family commercial wasn't really worth the hype.

Nice kick by Stover. 3-0 Colts.

Wow. If Peyton is having his way with this D early on, this may be a record performance.

Third down coming. I want to see what the Colts do with the blitz.

Wow...why didn't Rushing fair catch that. He almost dropped it. That's the second time in as many games that he almost dropped a punt.

I'll take that 3 and out. Nice D.

I'm fine with Indy having the ball first in the second half. Just don't kick it to Reggie Bush to start the game.

The Howard/LaBron commercial rip off of Jordan/Bird from many years ago is the perfect metephor that the NBA just isn't as good as it used to be.

Nice to see that everyone like Carrie Underwood's off key version of the National Anthem. I guess rythym wasn't important either. I hate country musicians.

I still find it hard to hear "the late Walter Payton". I can't believe that Sweetness is gone, even after all of these years.

Why are the Saints coming out to Sirius by the Alan Parson's Project. This is so 90's Bulls. GET YOUR OWN DAMN SONG.

Good God. NCIS has GOT to be the worst show on TV

This is my first Super Bowl in HD. I'm happy that it's for the Colts. This is a live blog, so mind not the typos. The edited version of this will be posted on The Two Penny Opera on Monday.
