Who's Headlining the Super Bowl?

Yes, Beyonce is the halftime entertainment for Super Bowl XLVII at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.

Jay-Z's going to be involved in this one, right? Possibly Lady Gaga.

Welcome to today's edition of The Victory Formation. Congratulations to the Green Bay Packers

Thank you, Wright Thompson

The rest of the article is in here, but here is the first paragraph of a great read on ESPN.com.

The soul of New Orleans is in a trumpet and a low-ceilinged bar. It's in the free red beans in the back. It's in the art hanging near the food that has two dogs howling at a New Orleans Saints moon. It's in the voice of Kermit Ruffins, two hours into his standing Thursday night gig at a packed club hidden in the neighborhood behind the French Quarter, the place weathered and peeling like the side of a workingman's boat.

He plays a song he wrote, "All I Want for Christmas Is the Saints in the Super Bowl," and the crowd dances and sings all the words. When he takes a break, he calls me in closer. There's something he wants to show me. He undoes his thin black tie, and the top two buttons, then pulls both his collared shirt and T-shirt down just enough so I can see. I notice the top point first, and slowly, the entire tattoo comes into view, a month old, enormous, covering his entire chest. I start laughing, and so does he. A symbol of the city adorned with a symbol of the city. Kermit Ruffins has gotten an enormous fleur-de-lis, the Saints' helmet logo, tattooed on his chest.

"Only in New Orleans," he says, winking. "I'm killing 'em when I take off my shirt at the beach. Especially at the Super Bowl."

 Reading this brought a tear to my eye. Back then, and now, in the midst of a backdrop of a New Orleans Super Bowl title.

Yes, you are the champs!"

Congratulations, New Orleans! You did it. You have finally won it. The 9th team to win it in its first try. After all you have been through, you deserve it.

I actually missed out on the first half and halftime show. And as you all know, the Philippines does not get to see the Super Bowl commercials. Thank God for the gift of Youtube! for me to catch up. Blame it on a good time last night. I enjoyed it, maybe too much. While you guys get the CBS treatment, we here get the world feed feat. Bob Papa and Joe Theismann.

However, the 2nd half was great. Seeing two teams go at it mano-a-mano, capping off with the Tracy Porter pick 6.



And so, with that, let the link love commence.



Your mandatory Super Bowl recap.

The Onside Kickoff heard round the world. First one recovered by the kicking team outside of the 4th quarter in Super Bowl history.

Who is Tracy Porter? And what's with his hair?

In Haiti, Pierre Garcon will be a cheered by his fans wearing their shirts.

Twas quite a Brees, eh? What about Manning?

You could have had him, Jerry Jones. You could have had him.

In other news:

Johnny hates Jazz sports.

The Celtics are in deep doo-doo.

Not much news, because it is, after all, the Super Bowl.

Here's a parting picture to savor the moment.
