When do they start with “The Big Game” commercials?

IMO it starts before and after the National Anthem.

I am in complete agreement with your picks, however for those with a financial stake on the over(57)in the game, I need more points thank you.

Like 34-27, for instance.....

I don’t understand why they don’t move the game to Saturday night if they want to start it so late. People could enjoy their parties a whole lot more if they weren’t worried about getting up for work or getting their kids to school the next morning.

Nor do I. Normally networks prefer Sunday to Saturday night because more folks are likely to be home but I think in the case of the Super Bowl you don't have to worry about that factor.

Since she seems to somehow be connected to football I need to know who that is! Pic #3 please ...? ;-)

[mainepatsfan]

Don’t forget all to schedule a big pre-game dump for 4:30 PM ET, the perky one live interview on CBS with the President of the United States.

I'm surprised he didn't force himself into the booth and do some play by play calling.

Your “nickel and dime package” is actually two different defensive schemes...Nickel package adds an extra defensive back removing a linebacker making 5 defensive backs, hence the “nickel”.

the dime package removes another LB and adds another DB making 6 defensive backs...

There is actually a “quarter” package” that has 8...yes, EIGHT defensive backs (FS’s and CB’s) in a prevent mode..Only three rushing linemen...

I'm still waiting for the Bucs to be in a Super Bowl again!

[Canedawg]

Unless you’re a female, you get no extra credit for that post.

[unkus]

Cool. I want one.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

heh..I’m aware that nickel and dime are separate entities. I didn’t make it clear I’m afraid.

I'm still waiting for the Bucs to be in a Super Bowl again!

I know it's been a whole SEVEN years?! /s

[Pharmboy]

For me, the most interesting piece of this game will be how will the Colts deal with the relentless blitz of the Saints? Will they cross them up with misdirection running plays, draws and screens, or just run a west coast-type passing offense?

Or, will the Saints run a lot of fake blitzes and lay back in zone coverage?

[Boonie]

I see...no problem...*G*

[GeorgiaDawg32]

Excellent. It was $14 at Michaels (with coupon). All ya need is paint and glue..

[Boonie]

Nah...I’m only a former college coach...(small college)

[Vigilantcitizen]

Quarters is actually a drinking game.

[Canedawg]

the Saints need to try to stay a step ahead of manning. Once he figures out what they are doing on defense, he will make his necessary adjustments. At that point, the Saints need to change their tendencies so he doesnt get in a comfort zone.

If they stay in the same scheme, he’ll start picking them apart.
