At Least One Super Bowl Ad Won't Be Funny
I've just been wired an announcement from the Department of Stuff We Already Friggin' Learned In Third Grade: drugs are bad for you and they're illegal. Did you know they're illegal? They're also bad for you. Apparently the DSWAFLTG is not on the same page with the WHONDCP (White House Office of Nat...
Deadspin At Super Bowl XLII

Tom Petty Set To Rock Your Balls Off At Super Bowl XLII
For those of you who take your musical cues from the National Football League, you should be happy this year: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are playing the halftime show. Well, at least your dad will be happy. If he's stoned....
There Are Safeties Weaker Than Ryan Seacrest
You know, we didn't mean to come across as openly derisive toward Ryan Seacrest yesterday when we pointed out that he will be a co-host of the Super Bowl this year. In fact, we clearly underestimated the guy....
The Super Bowl Gets More SUPER

Spike Is Here, Kids, And He's READY TO BALL
We've talked to you before about Spike, The Super Ball, the official mascot of Super Bowl XLII at the Pink Taco in Glendale next February. Well, now, Spike is making public appearances.

The First Rule Of The Super Bowl Is, You Do Not Talk About The Super Bowl... Or The Big Game
The NFL, of course, has the term "Super Bowl" trademarked, so you can't use those particular words to promote any kind of a party or gathering for the event. Not only is it illegal, but if you close your eyes and say "Super Bowl" three times, Ed Hochuli will appear in front of you and rip your godda...
The Underrated Legs Of Rex Grossman
The good people at SomethingAwful threw together some inspired Super Bowl photoshop work. And because it's excellent and because I'm having a difficult time letting go of football, I cobbled together a few of my favorite into the above image... I hope they don't mind....
When Will The Media Elite Stop Tearing Down Our White Heroes?
Every debate needs comic relief, and God bless him, Rush Limbaugh is always good for that. The former director of promotions for the Kansas City Royals in the early 1980s, and at one time the word's fifth-leading importer of OxyContin (behind Brazil), Limbaugh has become in recent years obsessed wit...

Hey, Why Is Kenny Chesney Suddenly Calling Me?
In our original neck of the woods in Mattoon, Ill., NFL loyalties are rather split. Some people root for the Chicago Bears (four hours away), some root for the Indianapolis Colts (90 minutes away) and some odd souls hopped on the Rams bandwagon (two hours away). (Some insane people stuck with the fo...
Stuart Scott Is Ready To Kick Some Mustache Ass
The Big Lead has a fun wrapup of media party-related stories from the Super Bowl — which was Sunday, by the way — and we enjoyed this one considerably....
Mmmmm ... Super Bowl Ad Controversy
Well, that was $2.5 million well spent. Not only did the "Snickers car mechanics kiss" Super Bowl ad horrify Rex Grossman, but it has also angered gay and human rights groups, NASCAR fans, makers of other candy, lovers of motor oil, Puppy Bowl III participants, Muslims and most species of fish. (In ...

About That Glogging Thing ...
As many of you know, while the rest of you were all out enjoying cool icy beverages and collectively mocking Carlos Mencia commercials over spinach dip during the Super Bowl last evening, we were in our dark apartment, tapping out the live "glog" at CBS Sportsline.

It Washes Away Memories From The Sidewalks Of Life
When we look back at Super Bowl XLI in a few years, what will we remember most? The Sex Cannon's free-flying vertical missives into the night? Tony Dungy at last setting race relations straight in this country? Jimmy Fallon sitting next to Janet Reno on a couch? We figure the lasting image of Super ...
