ONE YEAR and 8 Months Later - The budget collector has RETURNED

 For one day and one day only the Budget Collector will be returning to live blog the Superbowl later today.  Coverage will begin at 3:00 PM Pacific Time.

Will you be there?  I guess I will.

Wait what channel is the damn thing streaming on?

Superbowl 50 - Denver 13 Carolina 7 6:28 2nd

I dont have a lot to say.  Pretty decent game thus far

Superbowl 50 - Denver 10 Carolina 7 11:25 2nd

There;s the Cam Newton that we hadn't seen just yet.

And the games starting to get chippy.

Superbowl 50 - Denver 10 Carolina 0 6:34 1st

The Marmot ad was very very cute.

The babymonkeypuppy ad was very disturbing

Carolina was ROBBBED on that catch, it was a catch.  No way

Oh boy, this might not be Cams day...

That did not look good.

10-0 Broncos.

Superbowl 50 - Denver 3 Carolina 0 7:23 1st

Wow the Panthers kill the Broncos in 3 plays, but on the punt they pin them way way back in their own end.

Oooh the ad for the Jungle Book looks pretty good.

I;m really not sure how I feel about the Audi ad.

Superbowl 50 - Denver 3 Carolina 0 10:43 1st

4 straight throws by Denver to start, but its working, then two nice runs and the Broncos are in the Red Zone.

Suddenly the Panthers defense wakes up and stops the drive and Denver settles for a FG.  10:43 1st

Superbowl 50 - National Anthem

Wow, Gaga can sing can't she?  Love the beating on the chest at the end.

Superbowl 50 - Pre-Game

I don't watch the full  37 hour coverage anymore.  Its too long to talk about one stinking game.  That said, the NFL is really good about boiling it down to the essentials at moments.

Oooh Marvel Captain America Civil War ad

Live Blogging the Super-Bowl is now in effect

From Levis Stadium in Santa Clara California, Superbowl L or 50.

This is nice introducing all the Superbowl MVPS


Wow a lot of them are limping.

Superbowl XLIX - New England 28 - Seattle 24 -Final

Russell Wilson makes a terrible mistake on the goal-line after one of the best circus catches ever.  Game over man.  Game over.

Brady joins Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana with 4 victories.  Of course it took Brady 6 games to get 4 whereas Bradshaw and Montana didn't lost any big games.

But does it matter?  Brady's a first ballot HOFer now.

Nice fight at the end.  Looked almost like a hockey game.

Superbowl XLIX - New England 28 - Seattle 24 -2:02 4th

They just won't go away, Seattle with the two minute drill for the championship.  Let's see who can take it>?

Superbowl XLIX - Seattle 24 - New England 21 -7:55 4th

It's still a close one, that's for sure.

Never count Brady out...until there's 00s

Brady now has another Superbowl record - 12 TDS in a career

Superbowl XLIX - Seattle 24 - New England 14 -15:00 4th

Going into the 4th quarter I really don't see how New England can come back.  They're down 10 and the offense isn't going anywhere.  Meanwhile the Seattle big two are taking advantage of the New England D.

What is this Superbowl Rally?

Grubhub's flying burrito was funny.  I'm really tired.

Superbowl XLIX - Seattle 24 - New England 14 - 4:54 3rd

Patriots looking awesome once again on offense until Brady is picked for a second time and Seattle takes over at the 50.

The Shawks offense is really clicking now.  Beastmode goes for 14.  Wilson for 8 out of nada.  Baldwin with the easy catch in the end zone and all of a sudden the team from Seattle is looking might good.

Superbowl XLIX - Seattle 17 New England 14 - 11:09 3rd

The Seahawks come out of the locker-room like a house-afire.  Everything is clicking on offense, Beastmode has done his thing, Chris Matthews did his, until third and 1 on the New England 8, and they settle for a field goal.

Commericals:

Clash of Clans - Angry Neeson was awesome.  Best one of the night.

Superbowl XLIX - New England 14 Seattle 14 - Halftime

Well with 6 seconds left, a 1st and 10 on the New England 11 CheateyP elects to go for one more play, and by god he caught the ball.  That was an excellent half of football.  Who would have thunk the game might actually be good this year.

Superbowl XLIX - New England 14 Seattle 7 - 0:31 2nd

I will not be blogging the Katy Perry halftime show

Brady runs the 2 minute drill about as good as anyone else ever.  That said, clock management isn't something that's taught in the NFL. Hustle isn't a word that I think of when I think of pro football players.

Julian Edelman is smart he runs out of bounds....

Just like that Gronk catches one just out of the reach of Wright, and it's 14 - 7.

Superbowl XLIX - New England 7 Seattle 7 - 2:00 2nd Commercials 09

Pats cooking again after the kickoff.

Fiat - Blue Pill - another non-Dumb DCC.

GoDaddy - They pulled the Danica Patrick ad and aired this instead.

Discover - I hate these ads.

Superbowl XLIX - New England 7 Seattle 7 - 2:16 2nd

Celebrity Round-up - hey that new guy who just did that song with Kayne is there.

Hunh, that was only the 2nd flag in this game, and it's the 2nd longest time in a game where a penalty was accepted.  Or was that something about the Seahawks incompletion streak.

The Seahawks got a first down.  Hallelujah.

Chris Matthews with a heck ova catch for 44 yards - 1st and 10 at the NE 11

Lynch powers in from the 3....Tie game
