Super Bowl Programming Note

Our church is preempting its regular Sunday night service with a Super Bowl broadcast fellowship, with missions reports substituting for the commercials, and taped testimonies from Seattle Seahawk players Matt Hasselbeck and Shaun Alexander in place of Prince's halftime performance. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time we've ever done something like this.

It would be hypocritical of me to criticize this move, as we infrequently attend Sunday evening services anyway, but this does make it an easier decision to carry on a longstanding tradition here at the Gazette, which is the live-blogging of the game with particular emphasis on the commercials. If you have no interest in the game itself (and, really, I don't) feel free to tune in right here to get an irreverent play-by-play (or, actually, every five or six plays-by every five or six plays; I'm not going to kill myself for this, you know) ala MST3K, only without the android and robot humor.

We'll wrap up the evening by listing our picks for the top 10 best commercials, then have a poll to let the multitude of Gazette readers select the best of the bunch.

As far as Sunday evening worship goes, now that Prince is a JW, maybe the halftime show will suffice.

[I'm going to pay for that. I just know it.]

Anyway, if you'll bring the chips, I'll provide the salsa.

Surely we can help you work in a *little bit* of android and robot humor, right?

That's exactly what I'm hoping for...a bunch of A&R humorists! ;-)

I'll try to do this despite getting lost with computer stuff. For me the commercials are better than the game cause I've never had time or inclination to follow football.

Bob, I've found that actual knowledge of the game just gets in the way of a good irreverent live-blog. So dive in...the water will be fine.

I remember last year's live blog-a-thon during the SuperBowl. You were pretty funny! Looking forward to this year...I mean tomorrow.
