Tony's 2nd Half Super Bowl Updates

7:30 p.m.: The second half starts with a bang on Willie Parkers' 75-yard TD run, the longest in NFL history.

7:38 p.m.: About bloody time that Shawn Alexander makes a big run. So far, the NFL MVP really hasn't made an impact at all.

7:41 p.m.: Kicker Josh Brown of the Seahawks misses his second field goal of the game.

7:50 p.m.: What the fuck? That Hummer commercial? Two monsters having a Hummer for a baby?

7:52 p.m.: A turn in momentum? Seattle picks off a pass and Big Ben gets decked!

7:54 p.m.: Seattle scores on a TD pass from Hasselbeck to the Mr. Guarantee-A-Win Stevens. 14 to 10, Pittsburgh still leads.

8:03 p.m.: I was reading the StarTribune and checking out Sid Hartman's article about how Gov. Pawlenty and the MN legislature should look at Michigan's example of funding stadiums with the hope of brining another Super Bowl to Minnesota. Now, Minnesota cannot have another Super Bowl due to low capacity at the Metrodome (although they did have it for Super Bowl XXVI, before the rule) -- but still, I agree with Hartman -- the Vikings do need a new stadium and hopefully have the chance for another Super Bowl.

8:09 p.m.: Zzzzzz..... Another punt. So far the skeptics are right -- this is going to be one, boring game.

8:14 p.m.: End of the 3rd Quarter. Close score, but man -- let's get some offense!

8:18 p.m.: Lots of jawing going on for the start of the 4th. Seattle's moving the ball, at least.

8:21 p.m.: Holding on Seattle? A pass from Hasselbeck gets the Seahawks on the Pittsburgh 1-yard line, but the holding call nullifies the play. For once in my life, I agree with John Madden -- I didn't see holding on that play.

8:22 p.m.: Pittsburgh intercepts pass!

8:27 p.m.: DAMN! Antwan Randle-El hooks up with Heinz Ward for a Pittsburgh touchdown. It's not too surprising as they've run this play before -- and Randle-El was a QB at Indiana University. This score just might sew it up: Pittsburgh 21, Seattle 10.

8:35 p.m.: Seattle gets a break when the fumble is overturned in the Seahawks behavior. They'd better move it if they want a shot to win this game.

8:47 p.m.: Time outs. As far as I'm concerned, Seattle is doomed. In my opinion, what a bust of a Super Bowl. Nothing too exciting ... so far.

8:52 p.m.: I'm thinking (as Pittsburgh wears down the clock) that Jerome Bettis should retire. Willie Parker will be the man as far as the rushing game goes, but it looks like Bettis will not better his 3.9 yards/carry rushing average soon. He's been in the league long enough and it'll be good to see him play his last game in his home town.

8:59 p.m.: Where is Hasselbeck throwing the ball?! 47 seconds left.

9:02 p.m.: Bill Cowher crying? Watch out, girls -- he might be spitting on all of you!

9:03 p.m.: Super Bowl XL is in the books. Pittsburgh 21, Seattle 10. I would hate to be the poor saps to clean Ford Field after this one.
