Turns out DH and SIL were rooting for the Cardinals because they didn't want the Steelers to win their 6th Super Bowl and break the tie. "Our" team (The 49ers) were in that tie. Also, the Cardinals are in the division with the 49ers so they were trying to be loyal to the division. ? The end was pretty good, even for this non fan

My mom has received the flowers in a box (she seriously couldn't get them out, I had to go over and help her) and I get the idea but it was pretty brutal.

Local breaks are always cued by a network promo, and there wasn't one there, so I think the guy rolled them in the wrong break, but I don't know that for sure. Most of them aired in their entirety in the next break, just a minute or two later. In any case, incomplete commercials don't "count," so somebody owes somebody a big pile of money. This would have only been on KNBC in Los Angeles, by the way. It's possible it was only on the high definition version - and if it was, I'd be interested in knowing that.

BTW, did you hear about Tuscon? Their cable system there (!) accidentally (?) put up 10 seconds of hardcore porn toward the end of the game. I do NOT feel sorry for the person responsible for that.
