Super Bowl XLI Liveblog: 4th Quarter
- Hey, don't forget the Pro Bowl is this Saturday at 6:00 on CBS. Mark your calendars. And Will wanted me to tell you that he's asked for the opportunity to glog that one live on CBS SportsLine. We'll let you know if that happens....

Super Bowl XLI Liveblog: 3rd Quarter
- We're underway... the Colts take the kickoff, and Terrence Wilkins dances and steps it out across the 35-yard-line. And yeah, it's been exciting and entertaining, but... I really wouldn't mind seeing a team keep the ball for more than a couple of minutes at a time in this half....

Super Bowl XLI Liveblog: Halftime
- Liveblogging a halftime show is a first for me. I'm sticking here with Prince, but if anyone has any pictures of the Lingerie Bowl that they feel like they should share with the group, feel free: [email protected]....

Super Bowl XLI Liveblog: 2nd Quarter
- 14-6 Bears as we start the 2nd quarter, and if you like turnovers, this is your game. The winner of this game will be the team that is better at handling slippery balls....

Super Bowl XLI Liveblog: 1st Quarter
- Well, that didn't take long... Devin Hester, 92 yards, endzone. Though I would like to mention one thing... that looked awfully familiar to Ted Ginn. And he didn't really enjoy the rest of his evening after that happened. But anyway... wow. That's how you start a Super Bowl....

Super Bowl XLI Liveblog: Pregame
- Welcome everyone to one of approximately 8,829 Super Bowl liveblogs. MJD's Super Bowl party consists of MJD, 80 ounces of malt liquor, and his new dog Raleigh, who has yet to learn the difference between a carpet and a toilet. Given the beverages, the animal, his problems, and the potential for 3 ...

It Looks Like Colt Is Your Winner
The above is Round 8 of Bear Vs. Colt. I've been waiting all day for a last update, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. Maybe they're waiting until after the game, I don't know. But if we're heading into XLI with things as they stand, our lasting image of Bear Vs. Colt will be Bear with a...

• Drama. Criminal Minds: The Big Game. I'm guessing that this is the show that CBS will be pounding into your noggin with about 29,218 commercials tomorrow. 10:00, CBS. • NFL. Super Bowl XLI. Indianapolis Colts vs. Chicago Bears. Both starting quarterbacks are white. 6:25, CBS. • Movie. Old School. ...

Refreshingly Free Of Jim Nantz, It's Puppy Bowl III
Puppy Bowl III has been going strong for over an hour now... these little guys just don't get tired. Well, one of them did... he decided to just lay down at the 50-yard-line for a while. One of the bigger, meaner dogs with lower self-esteem called an immediate press conference and accused the other ...

The Bull Dance Was A Nice Touch
I've purposely avoided most of the Super Bowl hype throughout the week... I haven't watched any preview shows, no NFL Matchup type shows, not even SportsCenter. I didn't want to get burned out and head into today's game wishing it was already over....

LeftoverDome...
• EA Sports values the white woman. [Newmianity] • Shawne Merriman will be forever memorialized with "The Merriman Rule," forbidding guys who fail pee-pee tests from appearing in the Pro Bowl. [ESPN] • Remember the chivalrous son of a bitch who sued the Angels because he didn't get a tote bag on Mot...

That Other Guy... He Wasn't Even Acting
That's Stephen A. Smith's brief appearance on "General Hospital," an ABC daytime soap that never really recovered from the loss of Jack Wagner (don't judge me). I've gotta hand it to Stephen A., that wasn't bad. He was able to step outside himself, fully immerse himself in the role, and, just for a ...

Let's Not Forget What Today's All About
I know today is a day to party and have fun and forget about life's troubles for a few hours, but don't forget to take a few seconds to remember what really matters: deceased horses who once hung from the ceiling while wearing royal blue blindfolds and all sorts of turquoise S&M gear....

We're A Long Way From The NFL, Kordell
You might recall that when Will and The Balls took on Kordell Stewart and Andre Rison in their little exhibition for Pros vs. Joes, that our heroes were informed that Kordell planned on making a comeback to the NFL. And sure, maybe the show is a good way for Kordell to keep himself in shape, and get...

About Last Night...
• NBA: Lakers 118, Wizards 102. Kobe wanted revenge ... Kobe got revenge. • College Basketball: BYU 90, (25) UNLV 63. And today, God smiles. • NBA: Knicks 94, Magic 86. The game's leading scorers: Eddy Curry and Darko Milicic. They grow up so fast....

College Hoops Compendium: Beaver Exposure
• Iona 69, Rider 57. A bunch of teams got big wins yesterday... NC State, Texas A&M, USC, Colorado, South Florida. But I doubt that any of the winners of those games felt as good as the Gaels of Iona. Coming into the day with an 0-22 record, as perfect as untouched snow, the Gaels were finally able ...

Michael Irvin, Unplugged
Here's the Michael Irvin speech that I promised earlier ... just a few highlights that could be considered ironic, but for the most part, it's actually quite endearing. It's a heartfelt speech, and, to the best of my knowledge, the first time that Bishop T.D. Jakes was mentioned at a Pro Football Ha...

This Means It's About Time For Super Bowl Week To End
While I'm trying to truly appreciate my favorite spam e-mail subject line of all-time — "Experience the outbreak of firmness in your pants with Viagra Soft Tabs" — here's something equally weird....
