Beyoncé's Halftime Show Featured An "Exploding" Guitar

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."

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.

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.

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."

Yesterday's Ohio Valley Conference Games Gave Us An Early Contender For Dunk Of The Year

Your Cast Of Characters For Tonight's <em>Super Bowl</em> Movie

Boston Is Really Bummed Out About The Super Bowl
This is almost too good to be true. It's taken only a handful of years for Title Town to completely revert back to the blubbering, blundering, sad-sack Boston we all know and love. It has been eight years since the Patriots won a Super Bowl. Eight! That is almost an entire decade of complete and tot...

The Media Has Resorted To Hyping Up Just How Boring Colin Kaepernick's Interviews Are
