Live Blogging Superbowl pt. 12

It is looking as though the Colts are going to win this one. 
Another interception, this time with the Bears on the losing end. 
You just can't win if you keep throwing things away. 



Over the past hour or so, I put plastic over two windows, because I was
throwing away heat.  The winter here has been uncharacteristically
warm up until now, so I didn't bother with the usual insulation
ritual.  But now it is 18 below zero (C).



There has been a lot of atypical weather this year in the USA. 
Global warming?  Could be, but it is very difficult to ascribe any
single event to any single cause.  How would I attribute unusually
cold weather to global warming?  Easy.  With global warming,
you get increased climate variability.  Thus as the average
temperature goes up, you end up getting some unusually cold days thrown
into the mix. 



Wow.  ANOTHER interception.  There's a flag, but I think the
Colts have it. 



Waste not, want not. 



The Bush administration seems to think the time to start conserving
something is after you've already run out of it.  He is not doing
any better as a President than Grossman is doing as a
quarterback.  Not only has he thrown away any chance of a decent
energy policy, but he's thrown away any goodwill we may once have had
in foreign relations.  Grossman is not going to be too popular in
Chicago, at least until next season.  Bush, on the other hand, is
never going to get over his sullied reputation. 



Even the commentator on the TV just mentioned Grossman will not be
popular.  They haven't said anything about politics, though. 
I know it doesn't really make sense for me to intermingle the topics,
but the analogy between multiple fumbles and interceptions, and the
miscues of the Administration, is hard to resist.

Author realizes he overwrote pt 2 with pt 3.  Part 2 is lost forever.  Wow.  That is more interesting than the game has been so far.  I've eaten all the guacamole.  There was too much garlic in it.  Oh, the game.  Another fumble.  That makes what, three fumbles and one interception, and the first…
As an avowed Giants fan, I suppose I really ought to say something about the epic meltdown they suffered in the past week, ideally before today's game with the Cowboys. The trouble is, last week was so horrendous that it's hard to say anything coherent... I ought to say something, though, so I'll…
I watched the game at a Super Bowl party hosted by some of our senior majors, because Kate didn't want to see it. Of course, the guys who hosted the party didn't have cable, so we were watching the game through a haze of static and swirly lines that made the weather look even worse than it was.…
So, how much does it suck to be David Garrard? He was 22-for-33 for 278 yards, with two touchdowns and only one interception, an excellent performance by any normal standard, but he was the second-best quarterback in the game. Tom Brady was 26-for-28, 262 yards, three TD's, no interceptions. And…
