Super Bowl XLII

Somewhere, A Haitian Boy Is Hatless

Here's a photo from a reader who found this rare, 19-0* New England Patriots Super Bowl hat at a 99-cent store in Brooklyn. More »

The Super Bowl Commercial They Wouldn't Let You See

Can't decide if this is great or merely interesting, but my dog liked it a lot. Here's a Bud Light commercial that was supposed to have been shown during the Super Bowl, but was banned by the FCC. Found this over at BostonSportz. It's new to me, anyway. More »

There's No 'I' In 'Douchebag'

Drew over at KSK asked Johnny at Metroville to write a piece about what it means to be a Patriots fan, one week later. We decided it would be a better fit here. You decide.

Gather 'round, fans of the New York Football Giants, and let me weave you the tale of one magical Super Bowl. More »

The Patriots Petition: Greatest Hits

Time to check in on the petition for the NFL to investigate the final 1:40 of Super Bowl XLII, as seen on Petition Online.com (and mentioned here on Saturday). Petitions on this site are usually pretty tepid, bewildering affairs: Take for example petition for the betterment of UNC football (26 signatures), or the petition for a 15th anniversary reunion for the Disney musical Newsies (170 signatures). But not so the Super Bowl petition, which has gained somewhat of a cult status with nearly 15,000 responses so far. More »

So What Was Up With Those Awful Super Bowl Commercials?

You probably know that those Salesgenie Super Bowl ads — you know, with the talking pandas as the Indian guy with seven kids — were produced by Vin Gupta, CEO of the parent company InfoUSA. Gupta, of Indian descent, allegedly wrote the ads himself, which many have decried as racist. (I just think they were painfully unfunny, which is the worst crime of all). More »

In Reebok's Alternate Universe, The Patriots Are 19-0

You had to figure that Reebok filmed two versions of its Perfectville Super Bowl commercial, and indeed, here it is; as reported by Larry Brown Sports. The highlight for me is the deliveryman with the "Patriots 19-0" T-shirt ... possibly the only one of those still remaining in the Northern Hemisphere. More »

The Final Jamboroo And The Art Of Being A Sports Fan Without Watching Sports

Big Daddy Drew's Thursday Afternoon NFL Dick Joke Jamboroo previews the upcoming weekend of the NFL every, well, every Thursday afternoon. Well, until today, anyway.

Well folks, this is the end. It's now the offseason again, and as much as I'd like to piss and moan about the desert stretch of seven football-free months that lay ahead, it's hard to complain much when the NFL gave us such a rewarding, pants-dampening sendoff. I said to the Maj after the game that it would take at least a few days for the end of that game to truly sink in, and I still don't think it ha... More »

OK, Last Photoshop, We Promise!

Except for the ones below, that is. There's just so many amusing ones out there, that it's hard to stop. And now, for the final word on Super Bowl XLII, we'll hand the mic over to Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, who as you might imagine is quite enthused with the result. In fact, it may be his finest segment ever ... with an ending that may shock you. Take it, Carl: More »
