With all of the 2008 Super Bowl XLII coverage today, I’m beginning to wonder if the Super Bowl is ever going to start. Since when does Super Bowl television coverage occupy a whole day? With pre-show stuff going on, one has to wonder if we’ll ever make it to Super Bowl kickoff time.

This story seems completely insane to me – the general manager for the Green Bay, Wisconsin Fox affiliate said yesterday that he would take Giants football player Eli Manning’s favorite show off the air while the Giants play there this weekend.
Have you seen the Manning Oreo cookie commerical that premiered yesterday? Peyton Manning and brother Eli Manning are taking on the challenge of the Oreo Double Stuf Racing League. Finally, someone is tackling (get it, tackling?) those intense Double Stuf Oreos!
Check out this Manning Oreo commercial video for all the fun. Even mom and dad Manning make an appearance!
