While there's no home field advantage in the Super Bowl, the source broadcasting network for the event loves to take advantage of their territory. Case in point: FOX really wants everyone to know that "House" and "The Sarah Conner Chronicles" run on their network. Really.

Coming in at a distant 3rd to FOX's "House" and "Sarah Conners" commercials was their own promotion of the Pro Bowl telecast next Sunday. In it, they show an array of marquee players - including Terrell Owens and his infamous "popcorn celebration" against Green Bay in late November. The footage really totes the company line - as we remember that Owens popcorn antics were not fined...even though it clearly violated Goodell's strict "no props" guideline. I'm sure Denver's Brandon Marshall enjoyed the Pro Bowl commercial - and the league's willingness to promote Owens' actions, especially since he was dinged $7500 for throwing snow in the air after a touchdown at Mile High (December 9th).

Patriots CB Randall Gay just tackled the Giants fullback, Madison Hedgecock. Gay. Hedgecock. Somewhere in crappy cartoon land, Beavis and Butthead are giggling like schoolgirls.

A few weeks ago, it was announced that Brett Favre's #4 Green Bay jersey was tops in the league for "most jerseys sold in 2007". They don't list the "worst jersey sold", but I'm thinking Randall Gay's #21 has to be in the top 5. It takes alot of stones to wear that jersey proudly...even in Boston...unless of course, you are gay - not that there's anything wrong with that. I'm also wondering how the jersey would sell if Gay would get traded to San Francisco.

Super Bowl Sunday is an absolute paradise for degenerates - as everything becomes fair game for a bet. My favorites: betting on the coin flip and the company that owns the first commercial spot after kickoff. This year went to Budweiser - who proudly displayed their "Fire breathing man" as their top priority for 2008. I like the premise...especially when Dairy Queen covered the exact same "crazed flames from the mouth" idea 3 years ago when they debuted their "Flamethrower" hamburger.



Heading into the 4th , we've got the "Peyton Manning face-time" count at 5 - but only once in a Super Bowl commercial advertisement, which we thought we low considering every body part on Peyton's body is for sale these days.

Luckily, Budweiser really redeemed themselves in their spot featuring a dalmation becoming a personal trainer for Hank, the un-drafted beer wagon Clydesdale.

Not exactly sure why - but Eli Manning holding the Vince Lombardi trophy, wearing a t-shirt over his football pads is hilarious. He sort of looks like a kid in a crappy Halloween costume.

10 years ago, Blockbuster debuted their "dancing baby" advertising campaign during Super Bowl. Yesterday, eTrade.com debuted their "talking webcam baby." While babies have obviously gotten more technologically advanced over the years, one thing is for sure - CGI babies are still creepy.

I just can't get enough of the "Gay" talk - especially from Buck and Aikman. I'm hoping they purposely scan both rosters before a Patriots game, to prepare and assure they don't awkwardly mix and match key last names with "Gay". Example: Hedgecock, Seymour, Boss. Gay Boss = great commentary.

Under Armor's commercial was...um...scary. Naw, there's no steroid problem in professional sports. Not at all.
