As the Wednesday after the Super Bowl typically seems to be, today is a slow sports day. The collective media is catching its breath and recharging its batteries after a hard-working and perhaps even debauchery-filled week in Indianapolis, and with only mid-week regular season NBA, college hoops, and NHL games going on, there isn’t a whole lot to get worked up about.
And speaking of getting worked up…
14 Other Songs As Irresistibly Fun As ‘I Believe In A Thing Called Love’ by The Darkness

There were so many great things to come out of Super Bowl XLVI.
Tom Brady lost, making his life now only 99.98% perfect. We got the first supermodel-induced scandal in NFL history. MSF had its great single-day traffic total ever.
But for me, the single greatest outcome of Super Bowl XLVI is that “I Believe In A Thing Called Love” by The Darkness is back in regular rotation on my iTunes and all of my portable music devices. And for that we have Samsung Mobile to thank, because the company featured the song in what our own Keith Mullett called the best commercial of Super Bowl XLVI.
Here is the video for the song itself, which I have always felt is one of the most irresistibly fun songs of all-time:

Quite famously, it was an officials technically correct application of NFL Rule 3, Section 22, Article 2, Note 2 – the “tuck rule” – that launched the New England Patriots’ dynasty back in 2002.
But a decade later, based on the events of the last two Super Bowls, perhaps it is time for the “tuck rule” to be amended.

I am a big Spiderman fan. He is my second favorite superhero after the incomparable Batman, who I simply find far and away more compelling than any of the other mainstream superheros (which are really the only ones that I know).
And the new storyline for Spiderman looks pretty compelling, and I have high hopes for Andrew Garfield (he of The Social Network fame) taking over Tobey Maguire’s role.
But let’s be honest: what I’m most looking forward to about the new Spiderman flick is Emma Stone. I do very much enjoy her work.

Gisele’s Comments and Wilbur’s Words: The Dumbest Things That Happened After Super Bowl XLVI

Last night’s Super Bowl was terrific. It featured everything that a big, epic sporting event should have, right down to a final play in the end zone deciding the winner and loser.
Unfortunately, last night’s Super Bowl also featured something that is all too common in the aftermath of big, epic sporting events: dumb things.
And here are the two dumbest, one from a writer and one from the supermodel wife of the game’s most visible star.

Super Bowl XLVI was awesome.
Everyone who was in Indy for the week lauded one of my favorite cities for how well it presented the Big Game. (This came as no surprise to anyone who knows Indy’s great history of putting on big events.)
And the game tonight matched it. New York won 21-17, but New England had a Hail Mary pass into the end zone on the final play of the game. Can you ask for much more than that?
But there was one part about Super Bowl 46 that wasn’t as great as it could have been.

There will be plenty of iconic images to come out of Super Bowl 46. There always are. But of all the pictures I’ve seen so far, still within the hour of the Super Bowl being completed, this is my favorite:
Mario Manningham’s sideline catch, which will go down in Super Bowl lore as one of the greatest catches in the history of the Big Game.
Super Bowl MVP: Eli Manning

The MVP of Super Bowl XLVI is, predictably, Eli Manning.
Eli was terrific: 30-40, 296 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT, and he led the 4th quarter comeback drive that gave the Giants their 21-17 victory.
Tom Brady also had a very good game, but he wasn’t quite Eli, as he never seems to be in the Super Bowl.
Congrats Eli. What a game, what a season.
You’re elite. Debate over.

When the Giants and Patriots meet up in the Super Bowl, just assume that someone on the Giants will make an epic catch that is a difference-maker in the game.
In Super Bowl 42, it was David Tyree with his hands and helmet. In Super Bowl 46, it was Mario Manningham with his hands and feet, making a ridiculously awesome sideline catch that extended the game-winning drive for the Giants.
Sound familiar?

If you had a safety as the first scoring play of Super Bowl 46, you are likely just now done jumping around in celebratory bliss.
Because, amazingly, that’s exactly what the first scoring play was tonight.
Tom Brady, on the Patriots’ first play from scrimmage, dropped back into his own end zone and fired it down the center of the field. The only problem is that no receivers were in the area. That’s a safety folks.
