Super Sunday

New York magazine has an excellent guide for places to go this Sunday to watch the Super Bowl (you can smoke at Play in Elmhurst, Scruffy Duffy's has 12 plasma TVs). NY also has the top places to get the best buffalo wings (made of chicken, of course...or unchicken) - City Bakery, Blue Smoke, and Kate's Joint are some restaurants that make the cut. Or you can make your own wings using some recipes from the Daily News. But if you're not up for cooking, you could get ribs and more from Daisy May's.

For many, the commercials are the funnest part of the Super Bowl: Look at past Super Bowls ads here. Gawker has non-Super Bowl ideas for Sunday activities. Gothamist doesn't know who to root for, though we are loving He Hate Me very much...how can you argue with Rod Smart's logic: "I needed a name to get me out there, going to a small college and not being drafted didn't do it for me. That name did and now I'm famous. One of my goals used to be to get famous. Well, now I'm famous. Now I want my accomplishments to be on the field." Note: Change domain to "He Hate Me Hates Us."

Updated: E!'s handy guide to watching the game, commercials, and halftime: NBC counterprograms the game of men in tight pants with Queer Eye and more.

hmmm, still seems to not be working (for me at least).

Is it undignified to salivate in the comments? I mean over buffalo wings. Yum.

I figure that come Sunday I am one person that can't lose: I live in Raleighwood but I am moving to Boston next month. But I do love the Panthers, even when they were down, down, down and out.

During this year's Super Bowl, you'll see ads sponsored by beer companies, tobacco companies, and the Bush White House. But you won't see the winning ad in MoveOn.org Voter Fund's Bush in 30
Seconds ad contest. CBS refuses to air it.
To check out the ad and ask CBS to air ads like this one, go to:

It is so mercilessly overhyped, this Super Bowl.

I can remember about 35 of them in my life, and maybe 5 were any good. 1979, 1991. (Somebody give me three others.) 1969, right?

They are usually total blowouts (Bears Patriots 1986? Super Bowl 20 that would have been.)

I wonder when they are going to knock off this XXXLVIIVI thing? Come on, it's MMIV already!
