13:58 PST: Kurt Warner looks like some kind of futuristic potscrubber; abrasive and shiny. I believe in anything and everything that Tony Dungy says, up to and including his choice of snacks. We have some Hot Wing/Blue Cheese Doritos, some plain chips, some soup from yesterday and a bit of star-anise mixed veg stirfry from the other day, also some applewood smoked cheddar and Triscuits. The suspense, as always, is killing me. I despair of my chances of playing in the NFL because the lead-up absolutely destroys me, also in spite of my best efforts I’m just not heavy enough. They’re playing “It’s A Long Way To The Top If You Wanna Rock’n'Roll” in the filling stadium; I can tell by the bagpipe solo.

14:01 Now it’s “Won’t Get Fooled Again”. I wonder what the likelihood of covering my Big Rock Friday Playlists would be? Is is like an infinite-number-of-monkeys kind of scenario? Or is the NFL actually where I get most of my ideas for BRF? “Crazy Train” would be perfect…

14:20 Obama’s little fireside chat marred only by subtle media weirdness ["rockstar status"?]. He is a smooth operator! And I agree with him about the college playoffs. The stats thing is just so very weird. And the multiple bowls make me feel like I’m at the Ming Wo clearance sale.

14:23 Faith Hill’s only half-decent song is the Sunday Night Football song, but she did sing the anthem well; I am looking forward to Jennifer Hudson who can totally sing not only her own gonads off but the gonads of everyone around her.

19:15 Worst. Liveblogging. EVAR. I gave up hours ago, obviously. This is treacly but both teams played really well, and I’m simultaneously pleased and disappointed that the Steelers won, pleased because they’re awesome and disappointed because the Cardinals winning would have been a Lord Of The Rings-calibre win.
