Christina Aguilera has the right kind of voice to belt out a memorable national anthem. Unfortunately, her performance at Super Bowl XLV will be remembered for the wrong reason. As you’ve probably heard, Aguilera flubbed the anthem, forgetting the lyric “o’er the ramparts we watched...

A lot of the must-see ads premiering during the Super… um, er… “Big Game” have already leaked through various tubes into the Internet. So instead of fast forwarding through the game just to get to the ads, and enduring that horrible bean dip that Uncle Phil brought, here are a few of our favorites: From Doritos: Chevy/Transformers 3 – Bumblebee flings an annoying mascot...

The Super Bowl is the best (or worst) day of the year for gamblers.  That’s because Vegas, in an attempt to squeeze every last dollar out of the big game, will let you bet on just about anything tangentially related to Super Bowl. We scoured the Internet to find ten prop  bets that have little or nothing with the actual play on the field, but can keep you entertained all day Sunday and beyond

For its first couple decades of existence, the Super Bowl halftime show featured marching bands or “Up With People”-type musical medleys. Unfortunately, but the only folks who really got excited about those performances were the families of the performers. Over the last 20 years, the Super Bowl halftime stage has become home to top hits and the increased star powers of popular musical acts. We’

Ouida White and her boyfriend Aaron, who live in a homeless shelter in Green Bay, had no idea The Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau was running a contest in which the first person in Green Bay who approached their “mystery man” and asked him “Have you been to Dallas...

The night before Super Bowl I, Green Bay Packers’ back-up wide receiver Max McGee violated team curfew and partied until the wee hours of the morning, figuring he had little chance of playing in the game. On game day, McGee even told starting receiver Boyd Dowler that he better not get hurt, because McGee had had a long night and was in no condition to take the field. Lo and behold, Dowler was i

This year, a 30-second commercial during the Super Bowl will cost three million dollars.  At that price, any company hawking its product during the big game better hope its ad makes a big impression. We’ve compiled a chronological list of 10 Super Bowl commercials that went over like a flawlessly executed touchdown...

The Super Bowl hasn’t always been so super. In fact, throughout the ‘80s and into the first half of the ‘90s many of the games were blowouts the likes of which are rarely seen during the regular season. We’ve had better luck with Super Bowls lately, and this year’s match-up between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers is about as even as can be. So maybe Sunday’s game will end

For me the Big Game is about football, beer, hot wings, and commercials.  I love the commercials, when they don't suck at least.  And this year, Justin Bieber and Ozzy Osborne are teaming up for a Best Buy commercial.  The first thing that comes to mind is Bieber auto-tuned repeating "Baby" and Ozzy mumbling.  I hope it's better then that.

Although THE BIG Game isn't lingerie football, but in honor of the lack of cheerleaders there, I give you this hot blond to the left.  To sweeten the deal Papa John's is giving out free pizza if the BIG GAME goes into over time, that is if you register to win...

First of all, as if Steelers vs Packers wasn’t bad enough – there might also be no cheerleaders at the Big Game!!!??? I understand that some teams don’t have cheer-leading squads, but in a game as big as the February 6th game between the Steelers and Packers- borrow or rent some...

Nothing in life makes the Chickster happier than his beloved Washington Redskins, which is why we've not been able to get him out of the studio since he found out his hero, former 'Skins QB Joe Theismann would be joining us.
