13:22: Phil Simms is cut off midsentence. That’s because the lights are out at the Superdome, leading to a 35-minute delay.
@RyanSmithWriter Not even an extended power outage can stop the conga player at @cheesieschicago
@readjack Big cheers at Fizz as play resumes. “DE-FENCE! clap-clap” 13:22 to go in the 3rd quarter... lots of football left...
HALFTIME
It’s all about Beyonce … until Destiny’s Child shows up!
@readjack Kelly & Michelle reminded that Beyonce didn't like it enough to put a ring on it. #destinyschild
@RyanSmithWriter It's safe to say that Beyonce is moving better than the Niners secondary.
@readjack Girl just walked over to me. "So, are you a 49ers fan?" she said delicately.
@readjack "No. I'm a Bears fan." "Oh I see." She looked suspicious. "I notice you have red socks, that's why I'm asking." Damn, they're serious.
@RyanSmithWriter Niners fan Eva demands to be tweeted. "I'm wearing gold pants!" She says her dog is named after Patrick Willis.
SECOND QUARTER
@RyanSmithWriter "Rip his head off!" Says a Niners fan about Joe Flacco. That seems a little extreme.
12:04: Niners RB LaMichael James fumbles, Baltimore recovers.
@RyanSmithWriter: It got real quiet in @cheesieschicago after that fumble. Too quiet.
7:15: Joe Flacco hits Dennis Pitta for a 1-yard TD.
@RyanSmithWriter Niners fans are looking nervous after going down 14-3.
@readjack The fumble and Pitta TD damn near crashed my computer! Frothy Ed Reed & Dieter worked the entire bar, distributing high fives
