Live blogging two events at once
Praise be to TiVo. I'm going to comment on the Steeler game and the Emmys as I watch them both in as close to real time as possible.

- 8:06 PM The Emmys kick off with a terrific musical number, and Eric Stonestreet winning the Best Supporting Actor Comedy award for his portrayal of Cam on Modern Family. And Sepulveda kicks off out of bounds. There is nothing straight on television right now!
- 8:12 PM I am fast-forwarding liberally through the Broncos' first drive. It's preseason. Why am I doing this, anyway?
- 8:20 PM Holy crap, how is James Farrior still conscious? Did he just get hit head-on with his helmet off?
- 8:25 PM What the hell is this "widescreen" jibber-jabber that Joe Buck is spouting about? Does he mean that people with standard definition TV's are now seeing widescreen?
- 8:31 PM John Hodgman just isn't funny. I said it, I stand by it.
- 8:35 PM Modern Family nabs the writing award. It's gonna be a MF night! And why does Jim Parsons look like a ghoul? Is that just horrendous makeup? Yikes.
- 8:53 PM I'm 2 out of 3 in predictions so far, with Jane Lynch and Jim Parsons' wins.
- 8:55 PM DAMMIT. 2 for 4. I had Edie Falco for Best Comedy Actress and changed it. I watched the first few episodes of Nurse Jackie, and I really think they are stretching the boundaries of the comedy category. And apparently Edie agrees, because she just said "I'm not funny!"
- 9:01 PM OK, I just can't watch preseason football. No more Steelers tonight. And it's the Reality TV segment of the Emmys. Which means time to make some food.
- 9:32 PM OK, the wheels are off my predictions. And I may need to watch Breaking Bad. Three straight Best Actor awards for Bryan Cranston, and a Best Supporting for that co-star of his I haven't heard of? Wow.
- 9:49 PM By golly, I think Jimmy Fallon's getting the job done! I'm digging his corny musical bits.
- 10:03 PM Ok, that Ricky Gervais line was hilarious. About to read the winner in a category that included a nominee with an odd name: "I hope it's Bucky Gunts. Because I didn't know you could say that on television." And then he won!
