This soon after a heartbreaking loss, It is an insult to every long-suffering fan for a player to go to a reasonably priced national chain. Perhaps Moore should be spending a little more time thinking about what more he could have done to help his team on Super Bowl Sunday, and a little less time eating pancakes. [Instagram] More »

Just another example of professional athletes not knowing the proper way to act after a loss, as established by Rodney Harrison. Perhaps Spikes should be spending a little more time thinking about what more he could have done to help his team on Super Bowl Sunday, and a little less time "grinch smiling." [Twitter] More »

What happens when the famous Manningface falls into the hands of a graphic designer? Every single NFL team logo (plus some alternates) gets a makeover to incorporate Peyton Manning's rectangular head. It started at Something Awful, but the guy who created them has assembled them all in one place for your viewing pleasure/horror. Well done, David. Now can we get them with Terrell Suggs's gums?

It wasn't enough to overwhelm the sewage system, but according to the city's Department of Environmental Protection, the surge caused the water level at a nearby reservoir to drop by two inches. Which means a lot of fans were holding much more than just their breath. More »

You may have seen this video of Pats tight end Rob Gronkowski and tackle Matt Light, fresh off of losing the Super Bowl, doing what I would be probably be doing if I just lost the biggest game of my life: getting shitfaced, dancing shirtless, and trying to get laid. But of course, Rodney Harrison doesn't approve of such nonsense: More »

Some photos with no backstory are making the rounds, showing what appears to be an Indianapolis police sniper checking out his post in the rafters of Lucas Oil Stadium in the hours or days before the Super Bowl, a post that would be manned when the game began. Yes, we know there's nothing surprising about trained marksmen working the biggest sporting event of the year. We also know it's pretty damn cool to see what the Super Bowl snipers are working with.

I am a Giants fan, but I'm also fascinated by the human condition, and I happen to think nothing is more fascinating than a million people brought together by nothing more than a football team and the rare socially acceptable opportunity to get drunk before breakfast. It was with this in mind that I set off for Lower Manhattan this morning, with zero ideas for my "coverage" and even less forethought of how to make it happen. Would you be surprised if I told you the whole thing was a disaster, and that I was forcibly removed from Broadway by an NYPD sergeant after five minutes? More »

I'm really happy for Eli Manning and all, especially since he just beat America's Most Dominant Sports City for the second time and sent Shank into his usual round of rectal self-examination. But someone needs to explain to this man that he'll never stop being treated like a 12-year-old from a Sunny D commercial if he keeps rocking the t-shirt-over-pads combo every time he wins a title.

We are currently watching, with attention as rapt as rapt can be, the silent helicopter-cam of Newark Liberty International Airport, where the Giants are due to land any moment. The team, which proudly plays out of East Rutherford, N.J., will hold a ticker-tape parade tomorrow across state lines in New York, perhaps as a sop since they haven't played a home game there in 37 years.

The temptation of Timmy continues: It's been rumored for weeks that the minister parents of the newly single, girl-kissing Ms. Perry would like to set their daughter up with the wholesome Mr. Tebow. And this weekend, Perry did her part to play along. First, while presenting an award during Saturday night's NFL Honors show, she looked at Tebow, who was seated in the front row, and said, "Hey, Tim, my parents say, 'Hi.'" Then, during a pre-Super Bowl party performance later that night, she Tebowed and was even said to have dedicated the song "Peacock" to him. And last night, her suite for the game was reportedly right next to Tebow's. None of the reports indicate Tebow responded in kind. Then again, he does plan to save his cherry chapstick for marriage.

This morning, the Patriots are talking dropped passes. Aaron Hernandez had one, Deion Branch had one, but most visibly, Wes Welker was hit in the hands on a long pass that would have extended the Patriots drive with four minutes left. It wasn't the best throw, but it was catchable, and after the game Tom Brady put it was gently as he could: "missed opportunities." More »

No, the Super Bowl isn't an occasion for formal dress. But Sean and I have debated whether these Adidas slip-ons are shower shoes or something more officially sandal-like. If NBC's going to try and make this an "event" with a red carpet and all...it's just an odd choice of footwear. Then again, given his $10,000 Super Bowl strip club expeditions, we should be impressed he's managed to show up at all. [NBC] More »
