Jennifer Hudson nailed her song. Effortless. Nice!

I'm pretty sure it was lip synced. That's pretty common, really, and I get it. Singing in a HUGE open arena with reverb, etc, is exceptionally difficult and it is not uncommon to have it prerecorded. Though I don't know for sure.

Scaeagles (or any other Arizona-based LoTers), did you get to see the dong after Fitzgerald's long touchdown?

(Link is safe. NSFW video available on link, however.)

"KVOA will continue to investigate what happened to our clean signal and make sure our viewers get answers," Nielsen said in the statement. Comcast spokeswoman Tracy Baumgartner confirmed that the company's standard feed was interrupted during the Super Bowl, although she said its high definition feed was not.

Baumgartner said engineers at Philadelphia-based Comcast were investigating Sunday night. Tucson media outlets reported that they received calls from irate viewers about the pornographic material. Joel Hilander of Tucson told The Associated Press that he and his young children saw the clip. "I couldn't believe it. And I couldn't believe that my children were watching it either," Hilander said.

OMG! I am SOOO angry about this. I don't think I will be watching the super bowl anymore. I had just called my teenaged daughter in to have her watch the replay of the last play. And then that comes on. I am furious. And it kinda kept you watching cuz you were thinking, 'ok, this HAS to be part of a really bad commerical' — Ann C. (backroadsann), February 1,2009 @ 8:41PM

Great game. Two years in a row. Not bad.

Re the halftime show: when did Norm Crosby start impersonating Bruce Springsteen?

Was at the biggest Super Bowl party held in a private home I'm ever been. Kind of an odd experience for most of the game but made for huge crowd vibe in the last few minutes.

Now to just find out why people seem to think that I'll appreciate if they get drunk and then start letting out the racial slurs (it was just one person who I just avoided for the rest of the night, it isn't like I found myself in the middle of a klan party).

I enjpyed the game, but I was really wanting to see some great commercials. Overall, I am pretty disappointed. I loved the first Dorritos commercial, and the Bud one with the horse & dog playing fetch. Those were the only ones that got my attention.

Good entertaining game. The only commercial I really liked was the Troy Palumalu (or however the heck you spell his name - the safety from Pittsburgh) and the take off on the Mean Joe Green Coke commercial ("Hey Kid - Catch"). That was amusing.

I think in general that ad agencies are trying too hard to be clever and over think it.

2-bet parlay:

Cardinals to win (+200) - LOSER BET
Over 46.5 total points scored - WINNING BET

$50 to win $235 (4.7:1)

Prop bets:

I don't usually mess with Super Bowl prop bets but two caught my eye this year.

Anquan Boldin...MVP (15-1) - LOSER BET

MVP thanks:

sportsbook.com is giving odds on who the MVP will thank first during his post-game interview. Check out this lead-pipe cinch:

God -125 (bet $125, win $100) - LOSER BET

Sweet fvcking Moses! Martha, I need $100,000 to put on God. Seriously, is there any chance the MVP doesn't thank God first? Nope. And if Kurt Warner wins it, Oh Lord! Bet the farm on this one, people. You'll thank me later.

I hope you never found that $100,000.
