Only 210 minutes till kickoff ...

Well, we're here at University of Phoenix Stadium and word is there's actually going to be a live football game played tonight. This is exciting news.

D-Roc emerged from his holding cell - where he's been writing stories non-stop for the past 30 days - to join us on the media shuttle over here. He looked a little pasty and malnourished, but all of us enjoyed the police escort from Scottsdale to Glendale. The motorcycles whizzing by to stop traffic made passerby think there was an important group onboard the buses (maybe even the players!) but alas it was only us lowly journalists. The fans who ran up to the buses as we pulled up at the Stadium were sorely disappointed: they had been hoping to see a regal-looking Troy Smith; instead they saw a wheezing Smitter.

In other news, The Fiancee reports that Comcast Cable Man showed up to fix the issues that our two-day old internet/phone connection was having ... four hours after he was supposed to be there. In an unrelated note, The Fiancee is now studying laws relating to murder for her Florida Bar Exam prep course.
