If you spent any portion of last week perusing sports blogs you no doubt ran across the video of a Patriots fanatic named Victor Thompson getting his bald head tattooed to look like a Patriots helmet. One would assume that on Sunday, he wasn't real thrilled with the outcome of the game. One would be right.
"The minute the Giants got that (last second) touchdown I knew it was done ... it killed me," said Thompson.
Are you laughing yet?
The longtime fan grew up in Lowell, Mass., and was determined to support his team and its then-perfect season by making his skull a shrine to its season by transforming it into a replica of Brady's helmet.
Whoops!
He was thinking that once they won he might tattoo the Vince Lombardi Trophy on the top of his head. Not so much now though.
"After the game ended I started (partying) ... I woke up drunk. It was a good thing I had my helmet on," said Thompson with a laugh.
And, of course, he wondered if Tom Brady might have been a distracted by Gisele between the AFC Championship and the Super Bowl.
"Brady was playing with his old lady all week," said Thompson as he slumped in a chair and recalled the game.
So why did he do such a thing anyway? The reason would make David Puddy proud.
"I did it for myself and for the season. I am just supporting my team," said Thompson.
To complete the *ahem* look Thompson is planning to get his entire head tattooed silver like the real helmet. He also wants Brady to sign his skull with a tattoo gun to make it official. I wouldn't hold your breath on that one, Vic.

Taking joy in the misery of others: Patriots fan

The rest of the Shaq as a jockey story
As you may have read, my second favorite Super Bowl ad was Shaq as a jockey for Vitamin Water. If you haven't seen it, click here and come back.
It turns out there was more to that story though.
I think the Shaqster may still have a career in acting. What do you think?
50 Cent hates Paris Hilton too
I had heard a rumor about this on the radio, but now that I have seen it in print, I am so happy that it's true.
It seems that during Super Bowl Week, 50 Cent was performing at one of the dozens of parties when pseudo-celebrity superskank Paris Hilton, who was at the party, decided to hop up on stage and get her groove on. Fitty saw that and said, and I paraphrase what I heard on the radio, "What the fuck are you doing? Get the fuck off the stage?" The photo below is her crying from having her feelings hurt and being made the fool of in front of all those people. Bitch, please...
God, I love 50 Cent. Here's the moving picture version...
More photos below of her dumb ass dancing before Fitty took care of her. I do have a question for you though... Even with all this, WOUDJA?

Which video of Heidi Montag do you prefer?
The first one is of Heidi at the Maxim Super Bowl party. Honestly, I have no idea why she even bothered wearing clothes when you consider the outfit she actually has on.
The second one is of her new music video which was apparently shot by a drifter with a video camera. (Might want to turn the sound down...wow.)
Girl does enjoy her breasts, doesn't she?
So, which one is better?
The real Super Bowl Week highlight
David Tyree's catch was nice and all, but if you'd been to The Victoria's Secret "What is Sexy?" Super Bowl party, would you even remember it? If there was one party to attend, I think it may have been this one (not the Tupperware Party!). In attendance, just to name a few, were Katherine Heigl, Maria Menounos, Adriana Lima, Karolina Kurkova, Selita Ebanks, Stacy Keibler, and Kristin Cavallari. That, my friends, is some world class tuna.
Their ad on Super Sunday also gets high marks from me.
My favorite Super Bowl commerical
This barely beats out Shaq on a racehorse.
Talking kids + creepy clowns = comedy gold.

A Super Bowl ad I don't recall seeing...
And I would have remembered this one...
They claim it's a Super Bowl ad, but I am SURE I have not seen it. I think I need to watch it again yo make sure.
Super Bowl XLII: How did we get here?
As you get ready to settle in for the big one, take a moment to see how this all came to be.
NEW ENGLAND...
NEW YORK...
Video by travis122TV and the graphic by buddnice. Well done, folks.
The rap motivator, teacher, talker, night rhyme stalker...
...at a Super Bowl party by Tupperware? Wha?
Circle the calendar, perpetrator doomsday... Indeed.

Jessica Simpson has no clue who is playing in the Super Bowl
Upon arrival at JFK Jessica Simpson was asked by a photographer who she was rooting for in Sunday's Super Bowl. You know, the one with the NEW ENGLAND Patriots playing the NEW YORK Giants.
Her answer, "Go Cowboys!"
If only she knew someone involved with the NFL.
She is going to be so disappointed when she sees Tony sitting in the stands next to her at the big game and not on the field.
Here's some pics of her leaving her NYC hotel room last night. That's quite the ensemble she is wearing. Someone needs to tell Dakota Fanning that Jess has her coat.

Every Super Bowl logo
SportsLogos.net has compiled every Super Bowl logo and it's interesting to see how styles have changed over the years. Below are the last 24 of the 42 championship games. In 1969, a drop shadow must have been all the rage, but not nearly as much as in 1972. In 1976 the NFL apparently decided to hell with new ideas, let's just redo the 1973 version with new colors. The worst one in my opinion came in 1978. Then again was there anything cool about 1978? In 1997, they must have thrown the design bids open to only 6th graders, while 2003's version was also seriously lacking in creativity.
I've picked out my faves below, but take a look at the site and let me know which ones you think were the coolest.
Something to watch for in the Super Bowl
If you see someone doing the Chicken Dance in the end zone during the Super Bowl, here's why.
As part of a national promotion for its hot wings, the chicken chain will donate $260,000 to charity in the name of the first New England Patriots or New York Giants player who performs the “wing flapping” portion of the chicken dance for at least three seconds in the end zone during the championship game. The offer also applies to the first celebrity Super Bowl performer who does the cheesy wedding standard on stage.
The NFL, needless to say, has its delicate panties in a bunch over the prospect of this taking place.
“KFC is not affiliated with the NFL in any fashion, so this is a textbook case of ambush marketing 101,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said. “There are many different companies that try to draft off the excitement of the Super Bowl that have no right to any of the activities going on.”
Sob. Sob. Waah! The No Fun League is alive and well.
Still, don't be surprised if you see it. KFC says that agents of some players already have contacted them and they are also planning on getting in touch with players most likely to score a TD. I haven't looked, but I am sure that somewhere there is a prop bet on this too.

Classic moments in Super Bowl history
The year was 1989. Super Bowl XXXVII. The teams were the San Francisco 49ers and Cincinnati Bengals. The story was Stanley Wilson.
Prop bets to enhance your Super Bowl experience
Thanks to my man over at Vegas Watch, here a few prop bets for you to consider before Sunday's big game.
How long will it take Jordin Sparks to sing the National anthem?
Last year Billy Joel was given a 1 minute and 44 seconds OVER/UNDER. He did it in 1 minute and 30 seconds, so take heed. This year the O/U is 1 minute, 42 seconds.
If the Patriots win, will Bob Kraft mention the '72 Dolphins during the Trophy Presentation?
Yes (-135)
No (-105)
Who will the MVP of the game thank first?
Teammates, 2:1
God, 5:2
Family, 2:1
Coach, 5:1
Doesn't thank anyone, 6:1
The best prop bet of them all was brought to my attention by Darren Rovell at SportsBiz.
How Many Times Will (Fox Announcer) Joe Buck Mention Peyton Manning's Name During The Broadcast?
The O/U is at 5.5.
"Jub-Jub" anyone?
For more fun props head on over to Vegas Watch.

Celebrate the Super Bowl with skanks!
Let me translate this for you:
Penthouse Media Group Inc. announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary General Media Communications, Inc. has signed a licensing agreement with NYC-based MSL Sports & Entertainment to be the sole creator and producer of the 2008 Penthouse Desire SuperParty.
It means that Penthouse is going to throw a Super Bowl bash with lots of half-nekkid chicks running around and you should be there.
Snoop Dogg (of course, who else?) will be entertaining at the shindig.
Tickets, which include an all-night open bar, cost $1,250. For $1,250 those hosebags better be doing more than walking around.
Says the Dogg: "The Penthouse Party is always craccin and tha best place to be during Super Bowl Weekend. Snoop and the Penthouse Pets equals a 'Sensual Seduction' that's gonna be tha Life of Tha Party. We gonna be poppin' bottles at The Venue of Scottsdale on Feb 2nd so come checc out that Bigg Homey! Ugotz2doit - chuuch!!"
You get all that?
