Everybody knows by now that the Saints won the Super Bowl, so let’s get to the real stuff…celebrity appearances and commercials!
Brad Pitt, Ashton Kutcher, his baby-sitter, Demi Moore, LL Cool J, and Scientologists, Tom Cruise and John Travolta were all spotted at the big game. (Union-Tribune)
Phillies slugger Ryan Howard has now attended pro sports’ last 2 championship games. This time, as an extremely large observer. Who’s his friend though? (Bossip)
Kissing Suzy Kolber has the rundown of what you missed in Miami this week. Girls in bikinis, beach football, and of course, a guy with a tramp stamp. (KSK)
Girlfriends and casual observers all around the country were treated to what they know as “hilarious commercial day”. It was a relatively weak showing this year (due to the economy?) but the highlight of the night was when my friend’s sister was literally (and hilariously) moved to tears by Google’s contribution, which received a grade of “B” here. (Fang’s Bites)
The biggest actual football story of the day might be about the brass pair of balls on Saints coach, Sean Payton, who called for an onside kick to start the second half. (Shutdown Corner)
Prior to the game, ESPN wanted to know who fans thought was the best “One ring” QB of all time was. Peyton Manning was on the list. He still is. (ESPN)
Bengals linebacker Rey Mualuga is checking himself into the Betty Ford rehab center in California after a DUI arrest last week. (National Football Post)
SI’s Jon Heyman must be some kind of outlaw. He believes that NYC’s gun control laws should not be enforced as long as a celebrity/star athlete is the one being charged. Stick to baseball, Jonny. (Twitter/Jon Heyman)
So not only is Mike Milbury the “Isiah Thomas” of NHL general managing, but he’s a tough guy around bloggers who call him out for being wrong. This could make for a long feud between Milbury and bloggers, because Mike is going to be wrong quite often. (Gunaxin)
Academic scandal at Florida State has altered the records of a few teams, including Bobby Bowden’s ‘06 – ‘07 football squad. (KC Star)
