January 27, 2012 Super Bowl commercials are now such a big deal that we're getting commercials...FOR the commercials. I guess that shouldn't be surprising.
The Super Bowl is usually the highest-rated single television broadcast of the year — so the program that airs right afterwards typically follows suit and rides the game’s coattails to big ratings.
So you want to throw the Super Bowl of Super Bowl parties. We’ve all been there. Nothing makes you the toast of the town quite like a supremely awesome Super Bowl party does. It can be done, but how?

February 10, 2011 Bill O'Reilly interviewed President Obama before the Super Bowl and said beforehand that it would be more like a conversation than a regular Q&A. But let's just say O'Reilly has a different definition of 'conversation' than a lot of people. See the video on the next page.
February 7, 2011 Leading up to the Super Bowl, Visa's been running those ads with the four old guys in the "Never Miss a Super Bowl" club. They've been at EVERY SINGLE SUPER BOWL in person, starting with Super Bowl One in 1967.
Well, looks like the Visa ad was one of those famous jinxes, like the "Sports Illustrated" cover jinx...because one of the four guys MISSED this Super Bowl. And, to make it worse, he's a lifelong Green Bay Packers fan. Read more on the next page.

February 7, 2011 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."
