We've got half an hour of pomp before the anthem, Goldy.

Wait, a HORSE?

I hope all these ridiculous pop "divas" are listening to what a real singer can do with a song. She's actually making the national anthem -- the worst song in the history of the world -- sound gutsy and emotional.

@34, the secondary play of the Broncos has been crap--Champ Bailey got beat by that quail of a pass to #89, and if not for some last minute swats by the Broncos, the Seahawks would have an extra TD. Other than that, they've contained 24, but that was kinda like a batting practice fastball the Broncos were looking for.

@ 50, given that Seattle receives the third quarter kickoff, and that Seattle was unlikely to score (as they did mit), going for it was the right call. Everything to gain, nothing to lose.

I could never be one of these announcers, because I could never remember the framing mechanisms. I could say "they did X", but I could never remember to say "another thing we talked about, we talked about how they could do X".

I also love how the theme of this Jeep ad is "don't be chicken, dare to jump off this cliff onto these rocks" while the text below says "do not attempt".

I did not expect this. Broncos shut out. Fumbles and interceptions all around. Firecrackers here near the airport and it's not even the third quarter. Victory is already being declared in spirit. I don't know if Peyton can come back from 22 with the Seattle defense. If they do, it'll probably be a game for the ages.
