The Best And Most Surreal Photographs From The Power Outage At The Superdome
The power outage tonight in the Superdome created 34 minutes of awkward television and some truly dreamlike sports photography. We've collected the best from the Associated Press and Getty. Top photo by Evan Vucci/AP....

Baltimore 34, San Francisco 31: Your Super Bowl 47 GIF Roundup
The Baltimore Ravens outlasted the 49ers in a thrilling Super Bowl that looked all but over after the first half. Then the lights went out and the Ravens stopped pressing deep and the 49ers capitalized on some poor punting and suddenly we had a football game. In the end, the Ravens hung on thanks t...

Jim Harbaugh Wanted A Holding Call On The 49ers' Last Play, And He May Have Had A Point
Here's Jim Harbaugh's response to the 49ers' failed fourth-down play in the end zone, and for once, it's tough to really say he's overreacting. Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith probably held Michael Crabtree in the middle of his route, and when Crabtree laid out for the catch, he couldn't quite reach ...

This Is The Most Mesmerizing Video From The Super Bowl
This year's Super Bowl was heavy on the dramatic build-up but short, at times, on the execution. (The lengthy power outage delay didn't help.) There was one moment, though, that both inspired numerous emails from readers and captivated everyone's attention, if only for a few seconds. We have Frank...

A Profane Joe Flacco Thinks Winning The Super Bowl Is "Fuckin' Awesome"
We're inclined to agree, though not having ever won the Super Bowl ourselves (even vicariously, having grown up Browns fans) we'll have to take his word for it. [CBS]...

Jim Harbaugh Tantrum GIF: Version 2,745
A Jim Harbaugh GIF could almost serve as the basis for an entirely new generation of Mad Libs. "In the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl against (noun), Jim Harbaugh (verb) like a little fucking (noun) after the 49ers (verb)."...

This Is More Or Less What Happened To The Ravens In The Third Quarter
Here's how the Ravens played in the third: A long Jacoby Jones touchdown return—bad news for the 49ers, obviously—a 34-minute power outage, punt, punt, Haloti Ngata knee sprain (which has him doubtful to return), fumble, Jacoby Jones getting enormously jacked up by Delanie Walker on a kick return. ...

Joe Theismann On The Super Bowl Halftime Show: "Beyonce Shit The House Down"
Joe Theismann is watching the Super Bowl along with the rest of us and he particularly seemed to enjoy the halftime show, featuring Beyonce rocking the house....

Your CBS Announcing Crew Stalling For Time While The Power Is Out Open Thread
The lights are out in the Superdome, and it's a studio analyst's worst nightmare. The sheer dread in Steve Tasker's visage when he updated the audience on the amount of time it will take for the lights to fully come back on—20 minutes, and that was 10 minutes into this—was gut-wrenching. Twenty more...

Here's Your GIF Of The Moment The Lights Went Out At The Super Bowl
"The players have never been in a situation like this before..." as in the power going out, or the Super Bowl, or sober in New Orleans, or other? ...

The Lights Went Out In The Superdome
What a weird Super Bowl this has been. The Ravens are all over the 49ers, but it's been a handful of big plays rather than methodical domination so it almost feels like San Francisco is still in it. A fake field goal, a kickoff return, a 56-yard tumbling bomb of a touchdown, an exploding guitar an...

Jacoby Jones Just Returned The Opening Kickoff Of The Second Half 109 Yards For A Touchdown
According to CBS that is an NFL record. The Ravens won the opening coin toss and deferred to the second half. The decision allowed Jones to break an NFL record and toss his hat in the ring for Super Bowl MVP alongside Joe Flacco. NFL record and two pretty exciting touchdowns? We like his chances. ...

Beyoncé's Halftime Show Featured An "Exploding" Guitar
That's something. I mean, really, Alicia Keys sings about how "this girl is on fire," but she means it figuratively. Beyoncé doesn't do anything figuratively....

Jim Harbaugh Is Harbaughing Uncontrollably
Jim Harbaugh has tantrums when his team plays well, in regular season games. His only settings are "considering whether or not to have a meltdown" and "having a meltdown." He's currently in "having a meltdown" mode, with the dial inching towards "enraged," probable to reach "apoplectic" before snap...

The Ravens Dig The Deep Ball: Joe Flacco And Jacoby Jones Connect For The Play Of The Super Bowl (So Far)
We've previously mentioned Baltimore's affinity for the deep ball and here is Joe Flacco, once again, successfully going long. He may have underthrown it just a bit (give him a break though, he did throw it 50 yards downfield), but Jacoby Jones helped his quarterback out. He caught the ball as h...

Here's The All-22 Footage Of That Mind-Boggling Fake Field Goal
Baltimore has three less points than it otherwise would right now because John Harbaugh got greedy (or went briefly insane) and tried this fake field goal run for a first down on 4th and 9. It would have been a 32-yard attempt for a kicker that made 30 of 33 field goal attempts this season and at...

Cary Williams Shoved An Official And Got Away With It
In Major League Baseball making contact with an ump will get you a suspension. The same goes for NBA players who dare touch a ref (just ask Rajon Rondo). In the NFL, though—at least in the Super Bowl—shoving a ref won't even earn you a penalty. Here's Ravens defensive back Cary Williams doing just ...

LaMichael James Pulled Off An Awesome Spin Move And Then Oooof
LaMichael James had 27 carries in the regular season, because Jim Harbaugh hates rookies, and because the 49ers were pretty well stocked in the backfield. But tonight, Harbaugh loosened up a bit, giving James the chance of a lifetime—an opportunity to break free in the Super Bowl. It worked great f...

This Harbaugh Brothers Split Screen Is The Harbaughiest Split Screen Possible
Watch as brothers Jim and John react to the same play—a third down sack of Joe Flacco midway through the first quarter—with characteristically appropriate Harbaugh emotion. Jim: intensity bordering on insanity, and John: mild disappointment. Can you imagine how their father is reacting? Pretty craz...

Here Are The Kids From The Sandy Hook Elementary School Choir Singing "America The Beautiful"
Tonight's pregame ended with Jennifer Hudson and the Sandy Hook Elementary School Choir singing "America the Beautiful" directly prior to Alicia Keys's "Star-Spangled Banner." The kids had quite a large stadium to fill and did the job admirably. Watch it again to get the taste of all the weird Sup...
