Superbowl XXXIX

Not really a big NFL fan, but Heather and I are watching right now. To make it fun I'm choosing to root for Philadelphia.

Pretty eventful but low-scoring first half. Even sides at 7.

Paul McCartney on the halftime show. Clear reaction to last year's nipple incident. Beatles always were the good boys to the Stones bad boys.

Still haven't gotten any shots from the cool tiny cameras Fox planted into the turf. They said they expect to use it about six times throughout the bowl. Not sure if it's just not working or what.

I grilled some burgers for dinner. Heather's on one end of the couch, asleep after asking questions like "what's a blitz?" and "is a punt a sort of play?" Pupper is curled next to me. I'm on the end of the couch with the notebook computer. Doing some Java reading on design patterns. Singleton pattern. Object cache.

Still rooting for Philie.

Best commercials in the first half were for GoDaddy.com and the Olympus m:robe... in my humble opinion.

Second half on now. New England scores a TD. Heather's now awake. So is Pupper.

Best player name: Poteat.

Near end of third quarter. Philie puts on a mega possession. Lots of great passing. They've got first and goal.

Touchdown Philadelphia. Tied at fourteen.

Patrick Pass of New England representin' T-Town. He's from Tucker, GA.

First superbowl ever tied after 3 quarters of play. Definitionally this meams it's the closest Superbowl ever.

Pats put in a TD early in the 4th. 21 to 14, Pats leading.

Pupper snuck up and ate an extra burger. Rat. She's now locked outside and slinking like a guilty hound.

Heather has now let pupper inside. Rat.

Fieldgoal by Pats. 24 to 14, Pats leading.

No team has ever come back after being down by more than 8 points in the second half.

Philie was on a good run, but they got intercepted.

Short possession by Pats. Philie with the ball again.

So far three instant replay challenges. All three are good cases of instant replay.

Whoa! Big pass for TD by Philadelphia. Excellent!

Pats with a weak run. Punt.

Phila had a shot at it with 45 seconds to go. Some bad organization at the line and an interception later. It's over. Congrats to the Pats.

Pupper farted.
