The Giants’ effort in the 1st half is utterly meaningless if the Pats take the ball on the...

There’s nothing as lame as the commercials that run during Halftime.

Ahh, there’s “Running Down a Dream.” Doritos comment from previous tweet still...

“Freefalling”: He’s busting out all the big ones. What: No new song to pimp?...

“Won’t Back Down”: Yes, it’s a Petty classic, but it’s such a tempo...

My wife’s from Gainesville, so she’s quite into this year’s show. (She loves...

Petty: American Girl as opener - very solid. And he’s doing a great job for a 58-year-old

Never understood this: why does anyone think bradshaw should be reading highlights?

Is it me or is Curt Menafee the most unimpressive host in Super Bowl history? What a non-presence.

Halftime: Even though the Giants have outplayed them, the Pats are still winning. It just...

Do it: hail mary

Take 2 shots at the end zone, coughlin

Listen for pats fans calling out “he was throwing!”

Wow: what a huge stop by the giants

What’s the chance Buck brings up this week’s scandal? If he doesn’t, it’s a...

Maybe not. Btw, if it wasn’t so shocking, this half would have sucked about as bad as any in...

The Giants D-coordinator is SO getting a head-coaching gig after this half.

Doritos user-gen ads: Song was good; mouse ad was just ok (beat-down at the end was funny, yes)

Pepsi: timber-meh

The Giants can’t let the Pats score a TD - but you kinda know they will.

Nice to see Shockey supporting the team by wearing…an ugly t-shirt

Another hour to go? Oh, it’s going to be endless, if Joe Buck and Troy Aikman’s opening...

I’m still thinking about that Crowe opening: It was sports-media hyperbole like very little...

Is Russell Crowe really comparing the Patriots going 19-0 to Michaelangelo, Leonardo DaVinci and...

God, I hope that’s the end of the Seacrest pregame. Of course the football guys aren’t...

For some reason, Alicia Keys lip-synching doesn’t bother me at all.

GIANTS WIN! UPSET OF THE CENTURY!

GIANTS WIN! GIANTS WIN!

OH MY GOD.

I kept saying this game was about the Pats winning vs. the Pats losing…forget the opponent....

Oh my god. After 59:50, I want the Giants to win so bad. Just because they’ve EARNED it.

What a play by the D. Again.

I was SURE that Moss would catch that bomb.

That’s all I keep saying. Oh my god.

That’s all I can say.

oh my god.

29 seconds. 29 seconds.

OH MY GOD.

Oh my god. This will be the longest 35 seconds ever.

NO, REALLY: YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!!

YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!!!

See? I was just setting it up!!!

I TAKE IT ALL BACK! I TAKE IT ALL BACK!

If Manning throws to Burress, only bad things can/will happen.

Steve Smith with another clutch catch! Seriously, don’t even LOOK at Burress — stick...

Puppy Bowl IV seriously looks like some sort of twisted parody of dog-fighting. It’s a little...

I’m still blown away by that play from Manning to Tyree.

I wonder how much Bud Light paid to have Bud Light ads be previewed for 5 minutes during the...

Paula Abdul: Yikes. Nice lip-synch. If she tried out for Idol, she wouldn’t make it out of the...

Here comes the game-winning drive, you just watch.

If/when the Pats win and you insist on picking a Pats player, it has to be Welker, right?...

Who would you vote for for MVP? I would pick Justin Tuck, regardless of game result. The game has...

Again, with Hyundai comparing itself to luxury cars: Would you rather drive a large Hyundai or a...

Bud Light Will Ferrell ad: That movie is going to do really well with sports fans.

7:54 and the Giants still winning (for now)

Oh, 4th and 1? I would love to see them give it to Bradshaw to get the 1st down, but the Giants D...

Way to go, Plaxico.

Burress stopped running and cost them a huge, potentially game-clinching play!

E-Trade talking baby: Still creepy. (Funny: the baby said “underestimated the...

When Brady ducked out, I thought for sure he’d make the throw. When Welker missed the catch, I...

10 minutes to go. Giants still leading.

The Giants need to do what they’ve done all game long: Play incredible D. Seriously: Best...

Don’t Mess with the Zohan: Will make a LOT of money.

And I say that as a Democrat. Don’t forget to vote on Tuesday, if your state has a primary.

Coke ad with Frist and Carville. Talk about unrealistic. Carville says he’s a Democratic...

Wow, where was that Giants offensive performance through the first three quarters?

It’s the 4th quarter. And the Giants are up. We’re just being set up here for a Pats...

Oh my god. The Giants are up.

Gotta give to Bradshaw EVERY. TIME. DOWN. HERE.

Ryan Seacrest is the worst Super Bowl pre-game host ever. I realize they’re trying to make it...

Lizards doing Thriller: fun ad, have NO idea what product they were selling

Career Builder: that ad made me want to vomit

Fumble?! The Giants are trying to give the game away. How did the pats not get that ball?

Garmin: yes, US consumers LOVE the french references

Leatherheads: looks awesome. Too bad its a rick reilly idea

Corolla ad: buy a toyota and get mauled

Ok: maybe the int wasn’t so bad

Bud Clydesdale ad: an annual winner with fans in the ad meter. Rocky gimmick was cliche, but had...

INT means L-O-S-S

What a catch by toomer

Where’s Bridget? Oh, wait.

Gisele!!!

Tide: sorta funny, sorta annoying

Fedex: animal ads work, period

Go daddy: meh. That was worth a million bucks?

Dell: good cause, fun ad, still won’t buy a dell

That PI woulda been a TD anyway

I know the Pats can score in about 15 seconds at any given moment, but every full minute that comes...

Every time Tom Brady goes back to pass, I assume he’s going to throw a TD. The incompletes...

Everytime Maroney touches the ball, I can only think of Kool-Aid Man.

If you were the Giants would you have taken the ball or deferred? Have to take it and keep Brady off...

Tails: Damn.

What: Montana had somewhere better to be?!

Joe Montana: coin toss snub!!!

Coin toss: I’ll take heads. Let’s see if I’m on my game with the picks tonight

We did not vote for jordin sparks in our house. I was a melinda man and my wife liked blake.

Websters defines “lame” as using definitions as your introduction theme.

The most appreciated legacy of the Pats dynasty is the introduction of all-team introductions.

No wonder Ontario was able to steal a home game from die-hard Bills fans!

Ok: Pat Tillman’s widow was a touching addition.

Wonder how many takes it took for Emmitt to get his part of the Declaration right?

They’re using all republicans. Fox? No!

Oh wait: that’s the constitution

Yes, but does Dungy belive in the separation of church and state?

Frank Caliendo: Not particulaly funny. Now or ever.

Let me say this: I aint buying an RV to take my kid on vacation.

Cripes: Bradshaw is such a chucklehead. Worst Interviewer. Ever.

Super Bowl XLII Twitter coming later today! Should ramp up around 5:30 or 6 p.m. ET.

Pats 41, Giants 17. Unfortunately.
