The Small Decisions That Cost The 49ers The Super Bowl

Last Night Was Probably The Closest We'll Ever Get To A Super Bowl Fair-Catch Kick, The Rarest Play In The NFL
When the Ravens intentionally took a safety, to give themselves better field position and run a few seconds off the clock, it brought the 49ers to within three points. It was the smart call, but it also raised the possibility of the rarest of all football plays—the fair-catch kick. It's only been at...

Why Did The Superdome Power Go Out?
The lights went out, and they stayed out for 34 minutes. Colin Kaepernick had just been sacked, and the 49ers were down 22, and if momentum is a real thing, the blackout swung it firmly to San Francisco. Had the Niners come back to win, the power outage would've gone down in sports history as one o...
Watch CBS Herp And Derp Its Way Through The Super Bowl Power Outage
Drew already highlighted how last night's Super Bowl blackout led to some spectacularly bad television. From repeated assertions that the game would resume "in about 15 [or 20] minutes" to sideline reporters fumbling for words, the Tiffany network spread fecal material all over the Superdome and ...

It Took A Blackout To Show You How Truly Useless NFL Broadcasters Are. Let's Blow Up The Studio.
I avoided the pregame shows yesterday. This isn't unusual. I never watch pregame shows for the same reason YOU never watch pregame shows. I showed up at my friend's house just as they were getting ready for Alicia Keys to spend eight minutes doing a national anthem/"Fallin'"/Jazz odyssey medley. And...
For The Fourth Straight Year, The Super Bowl Champs Played In The Eagles' Home Opener
These prophetic words were written way back in September, before the Eagles' Week 2 home opener at Lincoln Financial Field:...
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...
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...
Jim Harbaugh Tantrum GIF: Version 2,745

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 ...
