10:15 Stay tuned as we live blog The Office. Just kidding. Goodnight, everybody!

10:12 After many years of snoozefests, we've had two great games in two years. This probably doesn't top the Giants/Patriots, or does it?

10:10 Pittsburgh 26 - Arizona 23 - FINAL

Valiant comeback by Arizona, but in the end their defense could not hold.

10:08 Hail Mary, full of grace...

Omar Epps or Mike Tomlin. Can you tell the difference?

10:04 Pittsburgh 27 - Arizona 23

The play stands. Cardinals have 35 seconds and two timeouts to score a touchdown.

10:00 Pittsburgh 26 - Arizona 23

Touchdown Holmes. This will get reviewed...

9:58 And Arizona's defense falls asleep. First and goal for Pittsburgh with :48 on the clock.

9:52 This would tie for the biggest comeback ever in a Super Bowl with this one:

In Super Bowl XXII, the Washington Redskins trailed the Denver Broncos 10-0 at the start of the second quarter. Washington then scored 35 points in the second quarter to set a Super Bowl record for points in a quarter and effectively ended the competitive aspect of the game. Washington won the game 42-10.

9:48 Pittsburgh 20 - Arizona 23

Make that two great catches from Larry Fitzgerald. He's your Super Bowl MVP if the score holds.

9:45 Pittsburgh 20 - Arizona 16

And on the next play, we get our safety. Free kick coming for Arizona.

9:43 Nearly had a safety there, which would've been the fourth in Super Bowl history.

9:39 Brenda Warner shot count: 4.

9:37 Is Arizona finally playing their game, or is this a result of Pittsburgh going into their no-big-play defense? Either way, we have an exciting three minutes ahead of us.

9:29 Commercial watch: That Hulu commercial is bound to confuse people who don't know anything about it.

9:26 Pittsburgh 20 - Arizona 14

Great catch by Larry Fitzgerald there. Touchdown and a six-point game.

9:19 Commercial watch: "My gold hip replacement!"

9:16 Can Arizona take advantage of their first sack of the Super Bowl?

9:06 End of third quarter. Cardinals have not taken many shots down field. They may need to.

9:03 Brenda Warner shot count: 3.

9:00 Commercial watch: Here's the Career Builder ad, perhaps the best of the night so far?

8:58 Pittsburgh 20 - Arizona 7

What should've been three points almost becomes became seven after a bad Arizona penalty then ends up being just three. Still, a lot of clock ran off due to the penalty. The fat lady is going through her warmup scales in the dressing room.

8:50 We're starting to see the Steelers wear down Arizona's defense. First and goal.

8:38 Here are the details of Denny's free grand slam breakfast offer:

8:30 And we're off with the 2nd half.

8:22 Commercial watch: Did Overstock.com just pay $3 million for a commercial spot and not shoot it in high definition??

8:15 Gotta get the new single in there! Give it to Bruce for admitting they're only doing the halftime show to sell the new CD.

8:08 "I want you to step back from the guacamole dip!"

8:03 Will Bruce play The Rising tonight? Here's hoping there's no bastardized Born to Run medley.

HALFTIME It's official. The longest play in Super Bowl history and a huge momentum shift. One wonders if the Cardinals can possibly recover.

7:53 Pittsburgh 17 - Arizona 7

Warner throws a pick on the last play of the half. James Harrison runs it back 100-yards for the touchdown. Or did he? We're under review...

7:49 Welcome to Super Bowl 43, Larry Fitzgerald.

7:42 First turnover of the game could be a big one as Roethlisberger's pass is tipped and intercepted by Dansby.

7:37 So much for momentum. Arizona goes nowhere with the ball and gives it back to the Steelers with plenty of time on the clock.

7:31 A big stop for the Arizona defense as they try to take hold of the momentum. Let's see if they can get points before the half.

7:21 Pittsburgh 10 - Arizona 7

Warner hits tight end Ben Patrick for the score as Arizona fights back. Maybe we'll have a game after all.

7:18 Hard to win when you can't run the ball, but they're trying. Four yards gained on Arizona's first four runs.

7:08 Pittsburgh 10 - Arizona 0

Russel runs it in for the touchdown. Cardinals better stop the bleeding soon.

7:08: Commercial watch: "Matt Lauer can eat it!!"

Land of the Lost trailer:

7:01 End of first quarter. All Steelers so far; they'll have 2nd and goal to start the quarter.

6:58 An example of the Cardinals' hyper aggressive defense there, as they fail to contain Big Ben on the scramble.

6:53 Commercial watch: Here's a scene from Year One:

6:46 Commercial watch: Here's the really bad Dylan/Will.I.Am Pepsi commercial:

6:42 Field Goal - Pittsburgh 3 - Arizona 0

Play is overturned. Steelers play it safe and take the three points.

This one may be coming back. Replay seems inconclusive.

6:38: TOUCHDOWN Pittsburgh 7 - Arizona 0

Arizona, say hello to Pittsburgh's boomstick.So much for Big Ben's nerves. He's already had a better game than Super Bowl 40.

6:28 NFC wins coin toss for 12th straight year.

6:22 Commercial watch: I don't know about anybody else, but when I think of G.I. Joe, I think of Dennis Quaid:

6:20: Sully!

6:15 Brenda Warner shot count: 2.

6:10 Commercial watch: What economic collapse? There will be 67 spots ranging between $2.4 million and $3 million per 30-second commercial slot this year.

5:56 Matt Millen just picked the Cardinals to win, which seals the game for Pittsburgh.

5:28 One hour from kickoff and we've only seen Kurt Warner's wife once, and she doesn't have the spike haircut anymore.

5:24 Technical issues aside, the Obama/Lauer interview was good.

click to enlarge

4:20 Super Bowl party at the White House sounds pretty badass, and Obama, further proving he's a different cat altogether, shuns political "rules," says he's rooting for the Steelers.

4:10 Sure, Anquan Boldin is the toughest player in the league, now that Martin Gramitica is team-less.

3:52 Raymond James Stadium looks spiffy in the aerial shots. FYI: They added a bunch of seats in the end-zone picnic areas to increase capacity from 65,000 to 72,500.

3:45 I've seen more of ever other single NFL jersey today than the Cardinals.

3:30 NBC is doing a nice job so far, but Roker's "Super Suite" is woefully bad. Someone should've told them TRL was canceled.

3:20 Will Farrell's Land of the Lost interview with Al Roker = funny. 

2:14 Keith Olbermann and Dan Patrick are in good spirits on NBC pregame. Only four hours to go... So I see some Cardinals jerseys outside the stadium, but it's quite possible those are paid extras at this point.

I wonder if politically conservative NFL fans feel the same way seeing Olbermann do sports as I felt when Rush Limbaugh used to do the Sunday NFL Countdown.

1:20 p.m. Good afternoon, sports fans!

Not much to report yet. Game time temp. for kickoff (about 6:28) expected to be a cool 60 degrees. I still have yet to see a single Arizona Cardinals jersey in town. So whose gonna win this thing?
