You saw it. I saw it. We all saw it. In fewer than 5 seconds, television gave us everything we’ve been BEGGING FOR in the post-millenial media age: voyeurism, cult-of-celebrity, empty calories, salt, beautiful Latinos, and pro football. It may have been one of the most perfectly potent moments in the history of media. It is near-tragic that Marshall McLuhan didn’t live to see it. It’s difficult to believe that it was unscripted.
A-Rod is mad, naturally, because he is the most socially tone-deaf celebrity athlete, ever.

Jay Kornegay is a book maker at the Las Vegas Hilton. He spoke to Robert today about how Super Bowl XLV paid out for Vegas, and for the everyman. Hint: Vegas didn’t do all that well, relatively speaking. Podcast of the conversation after the jump.
NFL Hall-of-Famer James Lofton witnessed Super Bowl XLV from the Packers sideline, broadcasting as part of Westwood One’s live coverage of the game. James spoke to Robert today about the game, the Black Eyed Peas, and what really happens at halftime in the locker room. Podcast after the jump.
Super Bowl XLV was the most watched television program in US history. Lindsay Powers of the Hollywood Reporter joined Robert today to talk about record-breaking media event. And they dished about the commercials. Podcast after the jump.
Earlier, we talked about how farcically disappointing it must have been for those 400 souls who could not gain entry to the Super Bowl even though they had tickets. One of them – Steelers fan Tom Noone – joined the conversation today. Podcast after the jump.
Everybody familiar with Super Bowl hero lore knows it can get cold in Dallas. Joe Montana’s famous Chicken Soup Game took place on New Year’s Day 1979 in the Cotton Bowl. Dallas was then, like now, experiencing freezing temperatures. Montana had hypothermia by halftime.
So then, these images should not be surprising…just horrific (courtesy of Executive Producer Dark Dave Coelho).
