  to allow tailgating at the Super Bowl this year. We wouldn't hold your breath, were we you. We, the undersigned, believe this policy to be hypocritical in light of the fact that tailgating is allowed, and highly encouraged, during the entire NFL season leading up to the Super Bowl. Does the NFL expect us to believe that tailgating at the

  extend to before the first Super Bowl. Why not? Prior to 1967, the NFL Championship Game was the same thing, only with less Carlos Mencia. Fortunately I'm here to set the record straight. No professional team dominated a sport like the Cleveland Browns between the years of 1946-1955. They played for 10 straight pro football titles over that

  pm It would be the best Super Bowl Week story ever -- and would exhibit a sense of humor that Bill Belichick simply doesn't possess -- for Brady to show up in Glendale in a fake full body cast. OK reporters, guess the injury! It could be anything! And for extra amusement, the middle finger on one hand could be plastered in the upright

  justice to the lunacy of the Super Bowl Week. And we're also gonna hold a reading and hosting a "big" Super Bowl bash. (And maybe hop by a couple other parties as well.) But mostly, we're just excited to visit Arizona, the home of our sacred Buzzsaw, for the first time. Even if it's freaking raining. See you tomorrow.

  of the quiet pleasures of Super Bowl Week is the wide variety of betting opportunities this game provides. Most of them are simple guesswork, but hey, isn't that what gambling is anyway?
