Sports: The Preash Super Bowl liveblog

I started to watch the Super Bowl at home alone, so I decided to spice it up for myself by doing a liveblog. Enjoy.

5:19 – Damn, Jordin Sparks is looking pretty bangin’. She must have one hell of a corset on…her upper arm is thicker than her waist.

5:25 – Oh, Christ. The House promos have begun. Didn’t Fox House us hard enough during the 2004 MLB playoffs?

5:33 – In late December 2007, Levi said, “That’s the coolest name ever. Hedgecock.”

5:37 – That Audio R8 looks tiiiiiiight!

5:42 – Just cracked one open. If you’ve ever talked to me, you’ve surely heard this before but…MY GOD, DOES OKLAHOMA BEER SUCK.

5:45 – Giants field goal. That’s game.

5:48 – “Going on a cheese run.” LOL

5:53 – Crisis time. Go to Dave’s house to watch the game (guaranteed hangover, tired all day tomorrow, most likely smoke cigarettes, end this live blog) or stay here (be an anti-social loser). Shit…

5:59 – Animals screaming commercial. You can’t go wrong with animals doing human stuff.

6:00 – The terminator robot just beat up the NFL robot. Why do the engineers who build the terminator bots waste their time giving them human-looking teeth?

6:03 – Holy shizzle, that Angelina Jolie movie, Wanted, looks rad!

6:07 – That talking stain commercial is pretty clever.

6:19 – Still agonizing over whether or not to go. For those of you who don’t know, this type of indecisiveness is very typical of me.

6:23 – Alright, I’m going. I’m probably gonna regret this. Later, peeps.

6:24 – God, this whole thriller dance resurgence is soooo played now. Leave it to fat old cracker advertisers to jump on a trend 3 months after it’s passed.

6:26 – I can’t quit you.

12:05 – That was pretty gay. Shoulda stayed home.

So what happened that was gay?

Well, first of all, I listened to the game on the radio on the way to Dave's and arrived with like 2 minutes left in the half. When I walk in and look at the big, beautiful HD TV, there's 5 MINUTES LEFT...IN THE FIRST QUARTER! Apparently they started watching it late and just rewound to the beginning. And of course there was no hope of catching up to live game because everyone had to see the commercials.

I can't watch a sports event that's not live. For example, I can't DVR a game and watch it later. I find that watching sports thrills me more because it's live and it makes me feel the urgency. Maybe that's just me.

But whatever, I decided I'll get over it and just enjoy the game. Except that while we were watching the game as the fourth quarter was just starting, some of the dudes decided to watch the end of the game live in a close bedroom. And they were cheering loudly. Then they came into the living room all giddy, already having seen what we were watching and knowing how it would end. I was so paranoid that someone was going to hint at what happened, it was hard to enjoy the game. Maybe I'm just an anal psycho.

Another gay thing: some of the less sports-knowledgeable (read: all of the female) viewers in the room complaining that the game is "kinda boring" because it's so low-scoring. What!?

Anyway, despite the female opinion in the room, at least it was a great game. I was torn on who to root for against, so I ended up just wanting to see a close game. And that's what I got.
