Killer first down

Big Ben on the bootleg - I think he got a bad spot, but still has the first down. The refs stink, but at least it didn't change the outcome of that play. I think they took a full yard away from him.

Here's the Gold Sheet angle now that the 2 minute warning has arrived: the spread could be covered or not based on a 2-point conversion, assuming the Seahawks score.

Ads: Not so good (Outback Steakhouse, Westin Hotels, Pro Bowl).

I always liked the idea of the Pro Bowl on the Sunday before the SB, leaving the SB teams' players off the roster. It'll never happen, but the whole idea of an All-Star game in a contact sport is silly to begin with.
