we're just getting started (live super bowl blog)
The remote control here in The Eagle newsroom is shaped like a golf bag. I'm not even sure where it came from, but it's probably been here as long as I have. It's very difficult to work, at least for my weak little hands, but I've managed to turn on the TV and wrangle the voume to a manageable level.
It's kind of hard to find a workable volume, actually, because a) the sports department has to be able to hear the game across the room; b) I have to be able to hear the ads in order to blog about them; and c) we all have to have enough quiet that we can work on producing a complete, accurate and attractive newspaper for tomorrow.
I haven't even seen any ads yet -- they're showing the pre-show analysis, which might as well be in Farsi, as far as I'm concerned.
