Super Bowl Sunday!

It’s the biggest TV event of the year! The Phoenix Cardinals take on the 5-time Super Bowl winning Pittsburgh Steelers. NBC has a full day planned for all you fans out there & it starts at 1pm with Super Bowl XLIII Pre-Game Show. Matt Lauer has an interview with President Obama from the White House. (the prez looks like a Steelers fan). Bob Costas will chat with Bruce Springsteen, so he can promote his new album, Working on a Dream. We’ll get play-by-plays of the goings-on in each teams lockeroom & Patriot’s coach, Bill Belichick will have a complete analysis of both teams. The game starts at 6pm. Jennifer Hudson will sing our National Anthem (and make me cry!) & Bruce Springsteen is doing the half-time entertainment with the E Street Band. Al Michaels & John Madden are the play-by-play announcers. The network generated a record $206 million in advertising revenue for the game telecast and $261 million for the entire day,
If you just don’t give a shit about football, there ARE other things on TV & I’ve found them for you. Check it out after the jump……..

Puppy Bowl V returns to APL & will run from 3-5pm. The kittens take over at halftime. This is a great way to get things rolling towards the real kick-off. It’ll keep the kids entertained while you’re making a Super Bowl feast & chillin’ the beers for the game.
