Every guest from 6 a.m. - 2 p.m. on Tuesday will receive 1 free Grand slam, and 1 free coupon book with 8 coupons in it. Each coupon book has 4 BOGO’s, 2- 25% off coupons, 1 coupon good for free dessert , and 1 coupon good for a free order of pancake puppies.

Denny’s spent 3 million on the Super Bowl ad, and tons more on a full page ad this coming Monday in USA Today. They are taking this very seriously and instructing all stores to staff as if it’s a major Holiday and for the staff to be as friendly as humanly possible.

Maybe its a game after all

Kurt Warner seems to have awakened his offense. After a quick TD to the Arizone TE Patrick, it's 10-7

Not much for commercials yet. So far Conan O'Brien's is the best.

Kick Off Time

FYI

Despite what you'll read elsewhere, Super Bowl 2009 kickoff will probably be a little after 6:30 PM Eastern Standard Time. As we saw last year, different official sites list different official kickoff times. 

• NBC, which is broadcasting the game, writes clearly "kickoff 6:00 PM" -- but they do have an interest in getting people to tune in early.
• The NFL's superbowl.com site is counting down to 6:20, and this is the time that most websites are using as official.

• The Super Bowl 2009 hosting committee lists kickoff time as "approximately 6:28" though the countdown on their site is counting down to 6:00. 

Last year, FOX (which was broadcasting the game) announced kickoff for 6:17, the NFL said 6:18, and the site hosting the Super Bowl said 6:30. Actual kickoff was 6:32.  So if you'd like to hear some of Journey's performance, Jennifer Hudson singing the National Anthem, and catch some of the pre-game hype, turn on your sets by 6. But don't expect the game to actually start before 6:30.

Quick additional tidbits:

• Date: February 1, 2009
• Location: Tampa, Florida
• Teams: Pittsburgh Steelers & Arizona Cardinals
• National Anthem: Jennifer Hudson
• Halftime: Bruce Springsteen
• Super Bowl Number: 43 (XLIII)

President Obama picks the Steelers

Like it was any secret. He picked Pittsburgh to win, but didn't elaborate on what he thought the  score would be.

Then he acknowledged Jessica Simpson's recent weight battle on the cover of US Magazine..
