Opinion The 10 Worst Super Bowl XLV Commercials

HomeAway.com: "Test Baby"


Message: Instead of staying in a cramped hotel room that will result in your baby's face getting smashed, rent someone's house and stay there when you're traveling. Sure, your baby may get poisoned when he gets into the unlocked cabinet with the household chemicals, but ruined insides aren't nearly as humiliating as facial injuries.

Relationship To Football: None. But a year after Tim Tebow's anti-abortion ad, it seems the NFL wanted to make the point that life begins at inception, but can easily end soon after birth.

News NFL Players Go On Strike In Waning Minutes of Super Bowl To Force League's Hand

In the waning minutes of Super Bowl XLV, with the Green Bay Packers precariously clinging to a 3-point lead over the Steelers in an exciting game, the two teams took off their helmets, picked up picket signs and went on strike.

The players circled the field with picket signs that read "More Work? Less Pay? No Way!", "On Strike: An 18-Game Season Is The Reason," and "@NFLcommish Sucks. SMDH."

Only after a panicked commissioner Roger Goodell and the NFL owners caved in to almost every one of their demands did the Steelers and Packers return to the field, where the Packers wrapped up a six-point victory.

News Paul The Human makes his Puppy Bowl pick

Paul, the human with the crippling gambling problem, predicted today that Koda, a Siberian Husky, would be the winner of this year's Puppy Bowl.

Paul made his selection as he does all of his picks, by stopping by a bar in his neighborhood and giving his pick to his bookie, who manages the bar.

The 5-foot-9, 247-pound Paul gained notoriety earlier this year by correctly picking the winners of all three Triple Crown races and the Westminster Dog Show, so his Puppy Bowl pick was greatly anticipated in the animal kingdom.

Opinion The 10 People At Your Super Bowl Party

1. The Rooting Interest Fan

He is a diehard of one of the teams in the game and will be rooting with everything he's got. This is one of the biggest nights of his sports fandom life and he's taking it seriously.

Then, during the kickoff, someone will walk in front of the television and he'll suddenly realize he's made a grave mistake: "Oh, no. I'm surrounded by morons. This is the last place I should be watching this game."

If he lives close enough, he'll make a break for it at halftime and try to get home before the start of the third quarter to watch it on his own TV. If not, you'll find him in an upstairs bedroom, huddled close to the television. So no one walk in front of it. And because it's only a 13-inch TV and he can barely see what's happening. Should have sold that kidney for game ticket money, guy.

2. The Bitter Fan

He doesn't have a rooting interest in the game because his team didn't make it, but he is a football fan and wants to watch as much of the game as he can — but he plans to be quite bitter about it. His goal is to ruin the viewing experience for the fans of the Super Bowl teams.

He will loudly say things like: "They lost to the Rams this year; they're not that good," and "At least my team's quarterback isn't a pussy," just to try to piss them off. He will ultimately fail, just like his crap team.
