Super Bowl 2012 Kickoff Time: TV Info and Online Live Stream for Super Sunday

We're almost ready for the epic 2012 Super Bowl clash between the New York Giants and New England Patriots and everybody is scrambling to get the best seat in the house in front of the television.

With kick off at 6:30 p.m. EST on NBC on February 5, (yes, that's today sillies), everybody knows they're going to have to "Tom Coughlin" this bad boy and show up well before game time to get ready for the extravaganza. 

You want to see Kelly Clarkson nail or butcher the National Anthem (she's a veteran people, she won't mess up), the epic coin flip (how are you NOT taking this prop bet!?) and all of the fans stampeding to their seats. Make sure you're on NBC by 6 p.m. EST at the latest!

It's Super Sunday, you're going to need to get the prime spot on the couch, favorite drink and a supreme plate of goodness well before kick off. Let's be honest, you only want to move from your carefully- and strategically-planned position if it's to steal somebody else's seat or under the utmost extreme circumstances because we all know the commercials are just as big as the game. 

Just in case you're stuck sitting next to that one non-football fan who wants to talk to your ear off about what's what, standing in line at the grocery store because somebody forgot your favorite snack or the unlucky soul that has to work on Super Bowl Sunday when everybody knows that should be illegal, have no fear!

This year, for the first time ever (and we all love first time evers), the Super Bowl will be streamed LIVE online at NBC Sports for your computer or mobile device through NFL Mobile. 

Say what!? 

Damn right.

Not only is this a phenomenal idea for everybody involved, but this is something that diehard football fans will want to be apart of even if they have a gorgeous high-definition television nearby. 

NBC is offering a pregame simulcast starting at 2 p.m. EST. Special features, exclusive camera angles and sideline reports, plus witty tweeting from Jimmy Fallon and more. 

As somebody who has a fantastic hi-def TV, you can still count me in! I want my football as much as possible and I'm intrigued by these exclusive camera angles. 

Bravo, NBC and NFL, brav-freakin'-o.
