Well, Lil Wayne went and did it, and he delivered.

I’m from New Orleans, but I’m a Packers fan/We knocked the Eagles and the Falcons and the Bears off/Now we ’bout to cut Troy Polamalu’s hair off.

Hear the full Green & Yellow freestyle at Nah Right. I’m not sure why they went with a photo of Lil Wayne bowling – other than to remind us that even his shins are fully tatted.

And once more, do check out the Kobe rap from awhile back if you missed that.

Media Day, oh yeah.

And for the vast majority of us who are not (and never will be) at media day, a number of the media present are keeping it light and humorous on Twitter – like CBS’s resident Dean Winters lookalike Gregg Doyel.

It was friend of Steady Burn, CBS and Guyism.com’s Will Brinson who just posted this video of AP Defensive Player of Year snub Clay Matthews fielding the age old question for men with curiously long hair: What’s more important – shampoo or conditioner?

Matthews took the question abundantly seriously.

According to Brinson, this question (and that lock in the moisture lead you heard) came from the “Toon Network guy.” Hope he means H. Jon Benjamin.

Anybody hit the number last night?

According to Mark McGuire, from TimesUnion.com, it was only the second time 1-7 was the winning combination in Super Bowl box gambling lore. Based on McGuire’s research, seven has actually hit 19 times in 44 Super Bowls, with the most common winning score being 27 and the most common losing score being – get this – 17!

Not only am I nerd, because I just dropped that information on you, but I’m also a huge jerk because I remembered I love Super Bowl boxes about the time that Jay-Z and his symphony asked you to pledge allegiance to the Roc Nation (approx. 6:03). Alas, I didn’t get to participate.

If you reigned victorious, hit me with a story (How much you won? Which friend you berated first – your pitiful buddy who got stuck with 2-2?). I love a good gambling success story, and the only one I’ve heard out of this Super Bowl so far is from my degenerate coworker Leon* who bet heads on the coin toss.

*Not his real name, changed b/c betting on the coin toss is ultra degenerate.

When Jim Irsay finally settles into his seat on Sunday night to watch the game, it’ll probably feel like a reprieve from the vicious circle of 19-0 What If? questioning. (At best, some shift in the conversation to Peyton’s impending paycheck.)

I think he’s come to grips with the fact that he’ll never get the media to back off and say: OK, you’ve made it abundantly clear, winning the Super Bowl is what’s most important to you guys. There is no move.

This, for what it’s worth (about $500K, I estimate) is a classy move…

Miami – It’s one of the most important times for the Indianapolis Colts. But starting Thursday, the organization, run by team owner Jim Irsay, will not be getting a lot of work done and that is okay with the boss!

That’s because the entire staff of 250, plus their guest, is headed to Florida to take in the Super Bowl.

From the receptionist at the front desk, to the cleaning crew, Jim Irsay is paying the way for 500 people to be a part of the team’s spectacular journey.

Check out this video of the sweet, old receptionist lady getting ready to embark for Miami (she also flashes some serious bling!)

Thank you. And thank you.

It was only a matter of time before this sort of thing surfaced. To be honest, I thought it would be way sooner. Make no mistake, Pats fans may be brazenly arrogant (says you), but Giants fans are still from New Jersey and still ski in their jeans, and are still capable of the wildly unfortunate…

I like to think that one of these kid’s dad saw this video, reflected back on how he celebrated the Giants’ 1986-87 Super Bowl victory – the night his kid was conceived – and took care of business.

Check out the YouTube link too. The comments are worth the price of admission.

Picture #14 also made me feel a little bit better.

Here he is. Your Super Bowl MVP. May god have mercy on your soul.

Seriously, I felt like I was rooting for the Spanish to overthrow the Mayan civilization all year, and part of me is glad it’s over.

Actually, that’s not true. Football is best. The fourth of July is essentially the half way point between now and next year’s Super Bowl. Do you realize how long it is until the fourth of July!?!?

Inspired thoughts Word Vomit:
“It’s gonna hurt worse tomorrow,” some Eagles fan last night (oh sure, they’ve got a lot to be happy about today).
