    15 Things We Learned From Super Bowl XLIV

    1. All Honda ads should all begin with the disclaimer “Please Flip to the Puppy Bowl for 30 Seconds”

    2. As much as we all love to rip on him, Brett Favre isn’t the only player capable of throwing crippling fourth-quarter interceptions.

    3. Married men live a castrated, ghostlike existence of torturous apathy, but at least they have Dodge Chargers / Budweiser / Last Airbender trailers!!!

    4. Sean Payton’s testicles boast a circumference five times that of the normal man’s.

    5. I incorrectly predicted the outcome of the game, was way off on the score, called the wrong MVP, and generally nothing that I said would happen happened.

    6. I was 3-for-4 on The Who’s setlist, so we’ll call my day of predicting a wash.

    7. We shouldn’t hold lengthy debates about pro-life commercials until they actually air (my bad). Frankly, I’m now a lot more concerned with Tim Tebow’s beliefs about mom-blindsiding.

    Puppy Bowl VI: The Kitty Halftime Show Hasn’t Stopped Being Adorable

    It’s the eternal debate during every Super Bowl halftime: Do I watch a legendary but aging band play a rushed setlist of abridged hits, or do I watch scared, adorable kitties paw at each other and rotating puffballs? I ended up watching the former, correctly banking on Animal Planet rerunning Puppy Bowl VI with Comedy Central Roastlike frequency.

    That Who’s stage was pretty awesome, but in terms of adorableness (the only important halftime show trait) the kitties take this one for the sixth straight year:

    OPEN THREAD: Super Bowl Predictions? (Score And Otherwise?)

    Score: Colts 38, Saints 24 (I’d love to see the Saints win, but if I was throwing money on the game, I wouldn’t throw the money at them, literally or otherwise).

    MVP: Colts punter Pat McAfee, after successfully landing two punts inside the Saints’ 15 in the first half to set up crucial field position. Him or Manning.

    The Who Halftime Setlist:

    1) Baba O’Reilly
    2) My Generation (cut off after like 30 seconds)
    3) Pinball Wizard
    4) Won’t Get Fooled Again

    Number Of Mentalist Promos: 7

    End Of Broadcast: ~3:45 am

    Number Of Times The Word “Manning” Is Uttered On CBS Between Noon And Midnight On Sunday: 3

    Number Of Times Co-Workers On Monday Say “The Commercials Sucked This Year”: ERR-UNDEFINED

    One score prediction and one random Super Bowl prediction — Leave ‘em in the comments.

    HAPPY WEEKEND PANDA POST: Baby Pandas In Panda School

    Do we need to even say anything to get you to watch 16 baby pandas going to panda kindergarten?


    Watch CBS News Videos Online

    ps We would literally gladly kill one of those Chinese men to have the privilege of holding a panda. They should have given pandas out instead of gold medals at the Beijing Olympics for realllll.

    My Mother Recaps “The Real Housewives of Orange County”

    Last night’s Real Housewives of The O.C. was picture perfect: Rife with drama, intrigue, and idiotic finger tattooing. Things came to a climax as Lynn decided to hold a civilized dinner party with all the HWives, which of course exploded directly in her face like so many over-pumped restylane lips.

    As per tradition, I phoned up my dear mother, Judy Collins of Miami, Florida, to get her opinion on the episode. What I found was a woman on the brink of madness, dying to get her various opinions on each and every wife out into the open, via telephone with my ear glued on the other end. I realized the world needed to hear her thoughts. So without her knowing it, I began transcribing her poetic diatribe to share with all of you. Admittedly, I started a few sentences in, but I think you will pretty much get the gist of her attitude by the time you’re done.

    So without further ado, here it is: My Mother’s Recap of “The Real Housewives of the O.C.”

    “I have a feeling that any cat I’ve had since I’m married is smarter than Lynn. Vicky is right! None of them work. That Gretchen? She started her makeup line last week, all of a sudden she’s working? And go to any dept store — Walgreens — no one is buying makeup. Whose gonna buy it in this economy?

    And that Tamra is garbage. The thing with Vicki and her marriage… I told Daddy ‘Look, if I’m going to complain to a girlfriend of mine that my husband is this, that, and the other, I really don’t expect that girlfriend to go back and tell the husband.’” (Ed. Note: I’m sure this is a purely theoretical situation, Dad.)

    That was mistake #1. You can maybe give her advice, but what are you telling the husband? #1. They all came in (impersonating) ‘I dont want any drama….’ Vicki from the beginning should not have stood there! Walk away!

    I think the producers coax them in these shows… Because I cannot picture Vicky standing in front of this f*cking shmuck Simon and taking it. I think she’s much smarter than that. If this was me…? ‘You know what? I’m not interested.’ Have a drink and chit chat with your husband.”

    “And Tamra has to be the lowest of the low. You know what? He deserves Tamra. And the fact that she’s hot? I don’t find that she’s so hot. I think Gretchen is the best looking.

    I hate the new girl! (Ed. note: Alexis.) Such a dumb f*ck woman this is not even a joke. Funny enough, her husband doesn’t bother me. Believe me Michelle, 5 more years, they’re not together. 5 years, he’s gonna dump her like a catsh*t. (direct quote) Because within 5 years he’s gonna realize ‘What kind of a f*ckin’ assh*le am I married to?’

    Snooki Booed in Philly… And the “Jersey Shore” Backlash Begins

    It goes without saying that Jersey Shore is one of the greatest gifts to be delivered to us in this post Y2K era. It was perfect television: A bunch of Italian/other breeded morons who lived to tan and f*ck lived in a house to have their lives taped. No one knew the success the show would become, and the characters’ delicious self-unawareness was a television miracle. The show came out, was a giant success, and lo and behold, our beloved Jersey gnomes were bona fide celebrities.

    And with celebrity comes the inevitable: Overexposure. Everywhere you turned, there they were: Snooki on talk shows, Paulie D giving makeovers, J-Woww giving her… opinions. It seemed that the only place The Situation wasn’t asked to appear was Wolf Blitzer’s The Situation Room (a concept noted by beloved comedian Rob Huebel). One would be correct in saying the cast was overexposed , and seeing as their set to come back for a second season (which will clearly not be anywhere near as pure as season 1), they won’t be going away anytime soon.

    So the following footage you are about to see was inevitable. We’re just surprised it took so long. Here is Snooki, appearing at The Wing Bowl (the perfect pairing, dare we say) in Philadelphia, where she gets booed. Adorable Little Snickers: BOOED. The backlash… IT HAS BEGUN.

    Also, we’re not entirely sure, but we’re pretty sure she punches a chicken in the face at :06.

    There’s No Better Way To Convey A Message Online Than A Chorus Of Mad Grandmas

    Leaving the Tim Tebow abortion commercial controversy aside, I think we can all agree: Using a chorus of singing grandmas to convey messages is damn effective. I’m talking, like, propeller plane that goes by the beach effective.

    It’s like watching a Spencer Gifts birthday card come to life:

    30 ROCK: Liz’s Surveillance Tape Slightly Backfires

    Last night’s 30 Rock was standardly excellent (despite another glaring lack of Tracy Morgan, who might’ve been busy with this sketch), highlighted by the following clip of Liz triumphantly revealing her surveillance footage of Frank to the writers, thinking she’d caught him smoking.

    You knew the surveillance video wasn’t gonna be Judah Friedlander smoking cigarettes. You didn’t know this would be airing on a primetime NBC show:

    My reaction? The same as Michael Scott’s upon seeing Christian Slater:

    VIDEO: David Hyde Pierce Raps “Boom Boom Pow”, Even Black Eyed Peas Wince

    It’s just that, rapping is an activity most commonly associated with persons of the African-American persuasion, and to be of Caucasian descent and to attempt it, and for captured moving images of this occurrence to be placed on the world wide web, it’s just… this would be unexpected and awkward, would it not?

    - James J. Internet, March 1993
