Inside the numbers is a new feature that I will be trying to implement come baseball season, but all the stops need to be pulled out for the Super Bowl. I’ll start with 10 and work my way to 1, noting why each number is significant as it pertains to yesterday’s gridiron showdown.

Sometimes photographers are able to capture moments that would otherwise be lost in time. Thankfully, someone was there during the pinnacle moment of the XLIV Super Bowl last night — and I am not talking about the biggest interception in New Orleans history.

I don’t think I will ever forgive the Colts for not scoring a meaningless touchdown from the 5 yard line, as they cost me some very easy money in my block pool, but the true story tonight is not about bad luck for me. The Saints pull off the upset.

Just like I said I would, I’m back with a look at the last two things that could have an impact on today’s game: the special teams and coaches. Though often pushed to the backburner, the special teams could end up playing a huge role in this game and you can’t discount the role that the coaches will play in this game. I’ve said it before when I ranked the best coaches in the game, but bad coaches don’t win championships and neither of these coaches are bad, but one definitely has the upper hand when it comes to putting a game plan together and keeping the opposing defense on their heels.

The offenses in Sunday’s game have gotten most of the attention heading into Sunday’s game and for good reason. The quarterbacks are arguably the two best in the league and both have been spoiled with a plethora of dangerous options with which to work. But faced with the task of keeping these explosive attacks in check, it will be the defenses in my opinion that will determine the outcome of this game. I don’t expect either defense to be particularly stout or force an overabundance of punts, but causing a filed goal as opposed to a touchdown in the red zone or giving their respective offenses as good a field position as possible will be keys in giving their team the upper hand. And of course there is always the game-changing turnover that could determine this year’s NFL champ.

As we all know, one of the main storylines for the Super Bowl is the new commercials that advertisers spend boatloads of money on. Each year there are at least a couple of standouts, and surely this year will be no different. A couple of the 44 ads on tap have already been leaked, so here’s you sneak preview. Enjoy the big day — eat, drink and be merry, but above all, be safe.

We have turned the corner and are now heading down the home stretch toward kickoff of the biggest event in the American sporting landscape. The NCAA tournament might be the most exciting, the World Series draped in history and Americana, the Stanley Cup doused with tradition, but nothing compares to the Super Bowl in terms of extravagance and exorbitance. Former coaches and players come out of the woodwork to conduct interviews and promote whatever endeavors they have embarked upon since they last stepped foot on a field and celebrities descend on the host city attending the multitude of lavish parties being thrown throughout the week and gallivanting around town trying to be seen by anyone and everyone with a camera and a credential.

Just one more day. And let’s be honest, Friday doesn’t even count. You don’t do anything on Friday except pretend to work.

Hilarious Bud Light commercial — perhaps one for the big game? That’s speculation on my part, but I’ve never seen it on tv…
