Jockey takes the double entendre to new lows with their new Lincoln Tunnel Tebow billboard targeting those in transit. On it they state, "We support Tebow & New York".

If they were going to be this transparent, their statement could have simply said the obvious, "Tim Tebow, we're on his Jock"- he endorses the brand and it would not be untrue.

Super Bowl XLVI - Giants Beat Patriots 21 - 17

The New York Giants are NFC Champions, beating the New England Patriot 21 - 17(final score).

Paterson's Victor Cruz scored a touchdown in the first half to go with the safety the Giants got on Brady, which proved to be needed late in the game.

The game changer was when Mario Manningham caught a pass from QB Eli Manning and managed to keep to both feet in bounds.

Ahmad Bradshaw scored the winning 6 yard touchdown(which the Patriots may have allowed in order to try and score a touchdown in the final seconds of the game). 

This is the fourth title won by "Big Blue" in the history of the organization. 

Here are a few highlights from Super Bowl XLVI...

Things the Super Bowl Won't Say

There are a few things the NFL won't tell you, like the cost of Super Bowl tickets(or how to get them without paying triple the cost) or the price of accommodations double in the hosting city.

They don't tell you crime is an issue, especially prostitution brought in by organized crime and others.

If you don't have a ticket by now, then the best way to watch Super Bowl XLVI may be at a Super Bowl Party...or at home!

Bengals' Jerome Simpson Touchdown Flip

We've seen NFL players try to flip over defenders, but they usually get hurt or fall all over the place, but this move worked because Simpson stuck the landing and confused the defender.

Dude was looking around wondering what happened.

The NFL will milk this thing for all that its worth. After no preseason due to a lockout the league needs fans to LOVE the game and watch these playoffs.

NFL: Ravens and Bucs Trade Playbooks for iPads

via latimes

Traditionally teams hand players a playbook in a 3-ring binder consisting of close to 300 pages to study for that week's opponent.

With increased amounts of information, scouting reports and changes in defensive and offensive schemes, two NFL teams - the Tampa Bay Bucaneers and the Baltimore Ravens are "running the option" and doing away with heavy paper binders in favor of using iPad2 tablets.

The iPad allows additional information to be transmitted to the players and adds a measure of security in the event a player should lose his "playbook".
