I was a little crazed for most of the first quarter of the game as I finished up the last of my party snacks, so I may have missed a couple good ones, but I thought the commercials were a little “meh” this year. However, I did really like the RadioShack one where the 80s called, asked for their store back and then numerous stars from that decade raided the store. Continue reading

Here we are, folks. The biggest (professional) football game of the year. Some of us will watch for the game itself, some will watch for the commercials (me) and some will just be using this as an excuse to party and get drunk (also me). Continue reading
All right, kids. It’s time for the Crasstalk Super Bowl Party. First things first: the game airs on CBS and starts at 6:30 PM Eastern, 5:30 Central, which means 4:30 Mountain and 3:30 Pacific (you all better get on it early). It is in New Orleans, Beyonce will be there, many of you will be drunk. Continue reading
Today is America’s greatest day of the year. This year’s game pits the New York Giants against the New England Patriots. It should be a good game, with plenty of opportunities for trash talk. For a summary of the contest please see Ross’ excellent preview or Marty’s hater’s guide. Continue reading
This New Year’s day, my husband made one of the most outstanding appetizers I have ever had. He made Tea-Smoked Chicken, and the guests at the party devoured them. Then recently I was gifted with some Gypsy Gold Dust, a Southwestern-style spice mix. When I opened it, that smoked chicken recipe popped into my head. But instead of using tea, I decided to use a really dark coffee. How could that not taste amazing with flavors like cayenne and paprika? Continue reading
It’s time for the Super Bowl and the western part of the United States couldn’t be less interested in the outcome as this remix will pit the Giants against the Patriots. Both teams should consider themselves lucky to be in the big game as they were both a couple of plays away from sitting at home and watching the game on their ridiculously expensive TVs. The Giants escaped from San Francisco thanks to a couple crucial special teams errors by a rookie. The Patriots eked out a win over the Ravens thanks to a stellar defensive play (what?) and a missed chip-shot field goal at the end of regulation. Let’s break the game down and see if we can figure out who is going to win this. Continue reading
The New York Giants and New England Patriots are squaring off in a rematch of one of the most thrilling Super Bowls in NFL history. Television ratings and fan interest thanks to the presence of two large media markets should be sky high. Continue reading
Fact: Unless you are a Patriots fan, Giants fan, or degenerate gambler, Sunday’s Super Bowl holds little direct value for you. You used to get psyched for the commercials, but now you can just watch those all online, for better or worse.
So, you’ve got no skin in the game, and little other reason to stay glued to the TV this Sunday, right? Then why would you even bother dragging over to some acquaintance’s house on a Sunday night in the dead of winter?
The food, stupid. Continue reading
That’s right, heterosexuals! Princess Lady Dame Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone her very own self is in talks to perform the halftime show at this year’s Superbowl.
More deets can be found at SB Nation.
Let’s see… sweaty muscle men in shiny tight lycra pants plus Madonna. Also, football players. I’m afraid the gays win this one.
