Oh, good lord. The Chronicle has started a Super Bowl blog, just exactly the thing I was looking for to combat my ennui about the whole thing. As with their previous foray into blogging, they still haven't quite grokked the whole permalink thing. On the plus side, I do enjoy reading Dwight Silverman, and though you'd think they'd want a sportswriter and not a tech writer on this beat, given how mediocre most of their sportswriters are, I'd say they've made the right choice. On the other hand, this sort of thing just screams for Ken Hoffman, but no. sigh Maybe next time.

Thanks to Erica, who was also the first person to spot the Crawford weblog, for the catch.
