SUPER BOWL LIVEBLOG, Part I: No, Bud Light, when there’s beer in our cheese, it’s usually the result of a tragic accident — kind of like Chris Katan.

The first half live blog is brought to you by Brett Favre. Because you wish he was really in Glendale, and in a few hours, Eli Manning will too.

5:54 p.m. CST (End-ish of the 1st Quarter) Lessons learned today:

  • Don’t go work out on Super Bowl Sunday.
  • Don’t buy groceries on Super Bowl Sunday.
  • Don’t cook on Super Bowl Sunday.
  • Do nothing on Super Bowl Sunday except swill beer and eat awful things while watching awful pregame that makes you cry for all the wrong reasons.

We barely made it to TV in time to watch kickoff and Eli Manning prove that his new nickname is “The Inexplicable Clutchdawg.”

The Patriots have held them to 3, though, and continue to work it down to the end zone. Third and 10. Let’s see how this works out.

5:58 p.m. (End of the 1st Quarter) Benjamin Watson gets interfered on and play continues. Honestly, I think it would’ve been more awesome if he had held onto the pass anyway.

Sort of early MVP prediction: Lawrence Maroney. I saw him and Marion Barber III destroy a good Alabama run defense at the Music City Bowl a few years back.

Maroney. Barber. How did Minnesota not make it to the BCS back then?

Oh… oh right.

Jay Paterno has denied interest in becoming Alabama’s OC.

Alabama’s offensive coordinator search has turned out a lot like Cloverfield. It’s an interesting concept spinning from a brand name creator, whose early hype is fed by Internet speculation by some young dude(s) on a blog.

There’s a bunch of zany ideas about what the big reveal is going to be (Cthulhu? Norm Chow?), but ultimately it’s just going to be a pretty straightforward ride that’ll probably elicit a lot of complaints about character, flash and point with much of the actual how going on off-screen.

Here’s a look at the candidates: (more…)
