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. More »

The Super Bowl Gets More SUPER

You might think that Richard Simmons hanging out with Howie Long and company is just an anomaly, a tiny bit of happenstance. But then again, you don't know who's hosting the pregame and halftime festivities for Fox at Super Bowl XLII. More »

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 with the race of NFL quarterbacks. First it was Donovan McNabb, and now Rex Grossman. More »

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 former Buzzsaw That Was The St. Louis Cardinals.) So, as you might expect, the Super Bowl was brother vs. brother, man vs. dog, corn detasslers vs. those with paper routes. This inevitable collision of loyalties led, in nearby Decatur, to a man losing a rather unfortunate bet. The Bears fan had to legally change his name to "Peyton Manning." More »

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 case you missed it, two car mechanics begin eating the same candy bar, causing them to inadvertently kiss. Mortified, they then decide they have to do "something manly.") Snickers had this whole thing planned in which one goes to its Web site and votes for their favorite ending to the ad (there are four versions), with the winner to be announced during the Daytona 500.

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. We were reminded that there's a reason The Mighty MJD does most of our live blogs around here; we're not particularly skilled at it. By the end of the third quarter, we got all Tourette's and just kept typing "Slant pass to Addai" over and over again. If you dare to look at the thing, you can find it right here, in case you're the type of person who likes to read live recaps of a (dull) game that ended 12 hours ago. More »

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 Bowl XLI will be of rain, rain, glorious rain. More »

Perhaps He Was Looking Forward Too Much To Next New Years Eve

We know this has been beaten into the ground by now, but really do consider it instructive to think of not only of the Indianapolis Colts as the St. Louis Cardinals, but also the Chicago Bears as the Detroit Tigers. In the former example, a team that had earned much recent success finally won a championship with one of its lesser teams (in a relatively dull deciding game/series). In the latter example, the guy(s) who throw all the balls kept making inexplicable, dunderheaded errors at the worst possible times. In the Tigers' case, it was the five pitcher errors; in the Bears', it was Rex Grossman. More »

Your Uninspiring Super Bowl Champion Colts

In one of the duller, more sloppy Super Bowls we can remember — it was kind of the equivalent of this year's World Series, actually — the Indianapolis Colts have won the NFL Championship. We're back from our labors — and labors they were indeed — at CBS and happy to back here. Congratulations, Indianapolis; we will remember your Super Bowl title for at least as long as we can stay awa —- zzzzzzzzzzz. More »

This Is Probably Not A Good Idea, But ...

So you know the Super Bowl? Big game, Bears-Colts, this Sunday, Billy Joel's gonna be there? Yeah, that one. Well, in a move we'll probably end up regretting, we have accepted an invitation to do the live blog of the game for CBS Sportsline. We decided to do this because the Super Bowl is on CBS, and lots of people watch the Super Bowl, and there will be Deadspin stuff all over Sportsline, and the notion of that makes us laugh. (It has a certain Trojan Horse quality to it.) We are taking no payment for the live blog and only accepted because we thought it would be funny. We're not sure we're gonna be correct about that.

Super Bowl Pants Party: Bears Vs. Colts

You know, this football season has been so much fun that we really are sad to see it end. But, alas, it has to, and there's an actual game Sunday, if you can believe it. Will we have another year of mocking Peyton Manning for choking? Because we'd almost be sad if we couldn't do that anymore. Awfully sad. More »
