Don't Take Joe Montana's Picture, He Thinks It Steals Your Soul
The legendary Joe Montana has to be a little antsy this weekend. The 49ers don't get an early first round draft pick. He's got people covering his shift at his diner. And if Tom Brady wins a fourth Super Bowl ring and third Super Bowl MVP, it'll tie Joe Cool on both counts....
Super Bowl Pants Party: Patriots Vs. Giants
After a week of drivel so repetitive that we were reduced to writing this, we finally land, inevitably, on the game itself. Whew. That took forever....
Tom Brady Will Be Well Coiffed On Sunday
The big Super Bowl question concerning Tom Brady isn't "Is he injured?", but rather "Will he have his nails done?" One can bet that the answer is affirmative, as word has leaked that the Patriots' quarterback will have his own hair stylist on hand in Glendale this weekend. They're calling him a barb...

Just 53 Hours Until This All Can End
All right. We are finally (almost) there. The Super Bowl week of emptiness and discussions of ankle sprains, goat testicles and Wes Welker is at last winding down. Congrats, fans: You've just about made it to the actual game....
The Deadspin Super Bowl Party Is Tonight
If you'll bear with us, allow us to contrast our Super Bowl party — at Zipps Sports Grill in Scottsdale at 7:30 p.m. tonight — and the Super Thursday event tonight just down the street at Axis/Radius....

The Super Bowl Brings Out All The High Rollers
Because no one can ever get enough insane Craig's List postings, Eye On Foxborough has found a particularly fun fellow who is trying to rent his house out for the Super Bowl. No big deal, right? Well, how about some strippers?...
Larry Johnson Can Dramatically Increase Your Salary
The Sporting News' Chris Mottram was roaming around Radio Row at the Super Bowl Media Center yesterday — at the Super Bowl, everything gets capital letters — and came across the Chiefs' Larry Johnson. He was wearing a nice watch....
Media Parties Bring Out The True Rock Stars
Back when it started, we had a little fun with Hashmarks, ESPN's NFL blog, but it's clearly come around a little bit. (And it's certainly kicking our ass with Super Bowl coverage, that's for sure, if you're into that whole "Bill Belichick looks relaxed" type of thing.) But his description of the "me...
Gentlemen, Start Your Puppies
Want your fill of barking, chewing and indiscriminate pooping that doesn't involve a night out with Najeh Davenport?

Mike And Mike, Sad Media Folk And The Fox Sports Grill
Because of a missed appointment, after we filed our Sporting News column last night, we spent the evening stranded at a cheesy Glendale sports bar, waiting for a cab that never came. (We literally spent four hours roaming around the greater Phoenix area doing nothing last night. We miss public trans...
Our Truncated Visit To Media Day
Against all our better judgment, we headed to the Pink Taco today for Media Day. We had heard from pretty much everyone we know who covers sports for a living that it's a full platter of ridiculousness and that it wasn't worth our time. Hearing that made us think we absolutely had to go. We should...
Where My Team Stands: New England Patriots
We've asked a couple excellent writers who are fans of each Super Bowl team to talk about where their team stands going into next week's "Big" "Game." Last week brought us Peter Schrager from FoxSports.com opining on his Giants. Today it's Eric Gillin of Esquire.com on the Patriots. Enjoy....
