Third quarter

7:22 -- Onside kick! One of the gutsiest calls in history!

7:23 -- Saints ball!

7:26 -- At the half, the analysts said the Saints should take to the air. They're doing that now, but I hope they still keep the running game going. It's the more sustainable approach.

7:27 -- Pierre Thomas! A beautiful catch and weaves his way into the end zone. Saints lead.

7:34 -- Seeking totals from the great storm of 2010? Here is a nice compilation from The Weather Channel.

7:34 -- I stand corrected regarding Phil Simms. He's been pretty good so far.

7:37 -- The Colts answer with a touchdown by Joseph Addai. Maybe we will see more offense in the second half.

7:38 -- The second half of the Super Bowl is actually about football. The first half is all about the commercials and the hype. Now we're down to football.

7:40 -- Pawnbroker Scott Lee Cohen, the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor in Illinois, has finally quit the race. Another ugly chapter in Illinois politics.

7:46 -- I like the Steve Tasker-Solomon Wilcots sideline reporting duo. CBS has mostly done away with NFL sideline reporters; it's refreshing to hear from two people who actually provide salient information.

7:50 -- Garrett Hartley makes a 47-yard field goal for the Saints. They trail by one.

7:52 -- Colts kicker Matt Stover (20 seasons) is the longest-tenured player in the game. Mark Brunell, Saints quarterback, is next with 17 seasons.
