Lingerie Bowl 2005 The Super Bowl half-time show the NFL doesn't want you to see.
Teammate says Favre's finished Green Bay wide receiver Donald Driver said Tuesday he believes Packers quarterback Brett Favre is ready to retire after 14 NFL seasons. "I think he's done," Driver said. "I'm a close personal friend of his. I spend a lot of time with him and I hang out at his house, and I think he's had enough. I really do." Big loss for football, but the end was undeniably near. To quote Footblog's own; "no matter the 'why' or the 'when' (Favre retires), it's going to hurt just the same."
Super Bowl security uses E-Sponder "The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is coordinating the security activities of 53 local, state and federal agencies, including the FBI, Coast Guard and U.S. Navy, for the Feb. 6 event through a Web-based collaboration system (based on) Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server collaboration software." I'm sure they've downloaded all those security patches, right? Couldn't they have just used Basecamp so we'd know it would work for sure?
NFL rejects LVCVA's bid for ads "The National Football League has again rejected the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority's bid to advertise the city during Sunday's Super Bowl broadcast...because of its (NFL) opposition to gambling on football games." I see. So, the NFL is against advertising Las Vegas because that's where people will gamble on football, but, they'll issue a league-wide crackdown on more accurate and earlier reporting of injuries so that Vegas sportsbooks can set accurate point-spreads. Go figure. That's more mixed signals than you got from your prom date.
Owens: God says he'll play in Super Bowl "God, apparently, is an Iggles fan. That's the view of Philadelphia Eagles receiver Terrell Owens, who said during Tuesday's Super Bowl XXXIX media day that God has decided Owens definitely will play on Sunday. For the record, Dr. Mark Myerson, who performed surgery on Owens' broken left ankle 6 weeks ago, has not cleared Owens to play." Who you gonna trust, God or your surgeon?
Eagles owner once a Pats' fan Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie grew up a Patriots fan. Although he steadfastly claims that no part of him will be happy if the Patriots win on Sunday. C'mon, you're telling us that all it takes is a $190 million investment to wipe out childhood memories?
Super Bowl Ads Bring Back Icons of Yore So the knee-jerk reaction to last year's Nipplegate, is to retreat to old, familiar icons like the Muppets, Captain America, Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny etc. Recycling old ideas. Shake, rinse, repeat. How boring. What an opportunity though. If the majority of advertisers are going super 'clean' this year, I'd sure like to be running the one ad that isn't.
Talking wine: Starting wine lineup for Super Bowl Sunday Super Bowl parties have evolved from being a male-dominated night of fast food and keggers, to a bonafide social event for couples. Sports fans have changed and so have the menus at Super Bowl parties. Wine is in.
