And is there any doubt that Drew Brees will be the MVP?
Have fun, New Orleans. You deserve it!

Countin' On A Miracle
The Colts are moving efficiently down the field, and looks poised to score.
Dumb penalty on the Saints makes it first and goal.
So...looks like we're gonna get one more onsides kick?
NOPE!
And that's a wrap...congratulations Saints!

Wow...
And in a moment, the whole shooting match changes.
With that INT for TD, the game is just about over, and Bourbon Street is perilously close to a celebration the likes of which has never been seen. Having been on Bourbon Street on a normal night, I don't know that I'd want to be there tonight.
It ain't over yet, but the fat lady is getting ready...

Colts
Jim Nantz: "They're motoring now..."
The question...if they are going to score, how quickly do they want to score? Do you even worry about that?

The Biggest Challenge in Super Bowl History?
Well, scratch that part about the pools being changed. Saints now lead by 7, with less than 6 to play.
Could we...be heading towards the first Super Bowl overtime?

Drew Brees, Superstar
At this moment, Drew Brees looks to be out-Manning-ing Manning. The speed at which this game is being played is amazing...and Brees looks dead solid perfect.
A Robert Meacham sighting! A great stiff-arm from Meacham.
Ah, here we go...speculation as to whether the Saints will go for two if they score, as it appears they will.
First and goal from the five with less than seven minutes. There aren't a lot of drives left in this game.
Thomas makes it down to the two...will they go play-action and try to hit one of the WRs?
No play action, but no run, and it's Shockey!! Last time he was at a Super Bowl, he was drinking heavily while watching the Giants shock the Patriots and the world. I'll be he's having more fun tonight.
Going for two...is Bush on the field?
No good! And that changes the scope of pools all across the country.

Colts Turn
If the Colts score a TD on this drive and go on to win the game, that 4th-and-2 call will go down in Super Bowl history as one of the guttiest.
But the Saints recover on 1st and 2nd down with great offensive plays. HUGE play coming up, as the Colts are at the edge of Stover's range.
...and Stover misses the 51-yard FG...Advantage Saints!

Garrett Hartley
You think Garrett Hartley has solidified his position as the Saints' kicker in this game? Man...three 40 yards-plus field goals attempts, 3 kicks right down the middle. For a kicker, it doesn't get any better than that, unless one of those kicks is for the whole enchilada. Stay tuned...we may get there.
Colts Answer
This is really beginning to feel like one of those "whoever has the ball last" kind of games.
As Phil Simms said, "how about that drive?" Peyton Manning, Joseph Addai, Dallas Clark...just amazing stuff.
No doubt about it, we're having a streak of great Super Bowls unlike any other in history.
I wouldn't even think of hazarding a guess as to who will win this game, the way things are going right now.

The Saints Go Marching In
That drive was brilliant all around...but no one was more brilliant than Drew Brees. It's a shame he's too short to play professional football.
I Predict...
That the halftime show by The Who won't be as good as the will.i.am. remix of "My Generation" that he did for the Flo.tv commercial.
UPDATE: OK, this is much better than I expected it to be. And I'll still be getting goosebumps during the intro of "Baba O'Riley" when I'm 80.
UPDATE II: Man, I feel sorry for Daltrey...he just can't handle those vocals anymore.

Now There's Your Momentum Changer
I didn't like the 3rd down or 4th down calls at all...if you're going to run the ball, doesn't that seem like a situation tailor made for Reggie Bush?
The Colts have done nothing this quarter, but still look poised to go into halftime with a 7-point lead. They've already proven this season that they can win games in which they barely touch the ball, and this may be another one of those games.

Time
It's amazing how the perception of in-game time changes when you reach the playoffs, and especially the Super Bowl. This half feels like it has just flown by. Maybe it's because the referees tend to let them play rather than make calls they might be tempted to make in the regular season; maybe it's just the sense of urgency - the sense that every play matters - that makes the game go so fast.
Momentum Changer?
Jim Nantz said the Pierre Garcon drop "could be a momentum changer," and he could be right. That was a biggie; another beautiful Manning pass right in Garcon's hands, and yet it still hit the ground.
If the Saints come back to score a TD, we have a classic in the making.
Good job so far by Nantz and Simms. No-nonsense, no over-talking.

The Super Bowl Commercial Contest Is Over
...because nothing is going to top the Letterman promo with Oprah Winfrey and Jay Leno.
Brilliant!
UPDATE: OK, the Brett Favre "winning the MVP in 2020" one was pretty good too.

Colts, 10-0
Boy, I haven't seen Joseph Addai run like this for a long time. Even if the Saints are able to put pressure on Manning, if they don't have an answer for Addai, they're in trouble. Real chess game going on right now.
OK, that TD pass to Garcon was a thing of absolute beauty. If that didn't remind you of Montana to Rice, then nothing will.
And with the score 10-0, there is suddenly a lot of pressure on the Saints.

Colts' First Series
Well, even though the Colts have the lead, I'd say that was a push. The key matchup of the game is Peyton Manning's ability to read the defense vs. NO defensive coordinator Gregg William's ability to put pressure on him before he can make the quick read. For the most part that drive went to Peyton, but thanks to the penalty, the Saints were able to hold them to a field goal.
First commercial report - I liked the Snickers commercial with Betty White and Abe Vigoda.
