Monday Morning 12 Pack: Helping you over your Super Bowl hangover

mm12p2Hows that Super Bowl Super Hangover treating you? Me? I feel like I swallowed a barrel of socks, but I’ll make it through. There were a lot of things that happened last night and I thought I would dedicate most of the 12 banger to those stories.  From M.I.A.’s middle finger to the different commercials that knocked socks off, you won’t be disappointed.

Guys Girl won’t be participating in this weeks 12 pack, so I have taken the liberty of delivering all 12 links.  Something about her being too cool for school.  It’s ok, Blythe, I’ll do all the work, Don’t worry.  You all should be applauding me for how well this is put together with the hangover I am currently muscling through.  You’re all welcome.
 


M.I.A. flicks off the camera at the Super Bowl…
Stupid? Yes. Perfectly timed publicity stunt? Absolutely!  Ladies and gentleman, this is the smartest business woman in the industry right now. I can’t think of a better way to get every person in America talking about you.  Bravo, M.I.A.

Sacha Baron Cohen’s new movie trailer had me rolling…
The trailer for Sacha Baron Cohen’s new movie, The Dictator, slipped under the radar as far as I’m concerned. Anytime someone makes fun of a Kardashian, I am all on board. Plus, we get to see Megan Fox again!  Which proves that she is actually alive and still making money acting.


So a $1,000 bet on a safety being the first score of the Super Bowl was at 50/1…
If this guy has the money to bet $1,000 on a safety being the first scoring drive of the Super Bowl, he cannot be super excited about winning 50 large. Ya he won, but he is still a f*cking idiot for making that bet. Lucky bastard.

Doritos had some good commercials last night…
The Doritos commercial where the dog is burying the cat was probably my favorite of the night. Let it be noted that I consumed beer during the game so things started getting fuzzy around half time.  Therefore I will review my DVR and adjust accordingly if need

Dan Wetzel followed Tom Brady around after last nights loss…
His piece on Yahoo! is a must read about the Patriots quarterback. I definitely see him in a different light.  Although, how can you really feel bad for a dude that is going home to his $25 million home with his super model wife?  Totally must suck to be him. Not.

Although the Doritos commerical was funny, Clint Eastwood knocked it out of the park…
The Chrysler commercial “It’s halftime, America” has to win for most dramatic, chill inspiring commercial. Can’t go wrong with Clint Eastwood. If he narrated those dumb ass Sarah McLachlan dog commercials I bet a lot more dogs would be saved. Scroll to the bottom of the article to watch the video

In other news that isn’t about Super Bowl XLVI…
The Miami Hurricanes had never beaten Duke at Cameron Indoor but that all changed Saturday afternoon.  It took OT but Miami was able to pull one out on the Blue Devils.  This is fantastic news if you are a North Carolina fan…which I am.

Suspect in his wife’s disappearance since 2009, took his and his children’s lives…
In one of the more cowardly acts I have seen, Josh Powell blew up his house killing himself and his two young sons.  Powell had been a suspect in the disappearance of his wife in 2009.  The saga twisted more when his father claimed he had sexual relations with his wife.  Bunch of weirdos, so sad for the kids.

David Tyree saw his bright Super Bowl flashing light shut off…
Mario Manningham’s huge catch in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl propelled the Giants to a great comeback win.  Although Manningham doesn’t want compared to Tyree.  Probably because Tyree was mostly ineffective and retired a couple years after catch.

Gisele said what every Patriots fan on Earth was thinking after last nights loss…
“My husband cannot f*cking throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time”..Beauty and brains? Who knew.  She is absolutely right.  This loss isn’t on Brady, this loss is on his receivers inability to catch the ball late in the game. Wes Welker, I’m looking at you.

Years ago, Peyton stated “Watch out world, he’s the best one” in regards to Eli…
Perhaps the best part of this Peyton Manning yearbook excerpt is the nicknames portion. “Paty-pie” doesn’t seem like something I would willfully admit to being called.  Unless it was by Momma.  I guess that would be acceptable.  But still not something I would put in the yearbook.

The Super Bowl was great but the price of popcorn was ridiculous…
Lucas Oil Stadium may have hosted a great game but what the hell are they thinking? $20 for popcorn?  $11 for beer?  Does anyone know what the normal prices are at the stadium during the regular season?
