The Super Bowl is easily the greatest sporting and TV event all year, and you know what that means-- awesome parties. Tons of food, tons of people and even more food always amounts to a good time, which is why we're psyched for Sunday.

Only t-minus four days until the big game, so now is the perfect time to start thinking about the most important part of our Super Bowl party-- food. Nachos, sandwiches, pizza and anything greasy goes, as long as it's hardy and semi-manly. But how the heck are we supposed to choose with so many delicious options out there? Answer: go big.

After days of eagerly awaiting an explanation to the bizarre case of Manti Te'o (meanwhile thoroughly enjoying the Tweets) we finally have some answers in the form of his eHarmony ad.

The folks at BadLipReading have taken a stab at what NFL players, coaches and referees are saying on the field. We're guessing it's fairly accurate. It's mostly girls and food. And spitting in people's drinks. And really, re

No, this isn't an episode of 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' that was left on the cutting room floor. It's actually a father receiving the best gift of his life -- tickets to a championship football game. With the holiday season winding down its nice to remember the little things in life: family, sports, and the fact that fedoras only look appealing on certain people.

Liam Neeson is a man who loves danger, which would explain why he went on 'Sportscenter' despite having no knowledge of football. The best part is when he asks to start over (they're live), or maybe it's when he drops an s-bomb, or maybe it's when he admits he's only seen two football games in his life

By now, even non-football fans have heard about the officiating debacle in last night's showdown between the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks (just check your Facebook feed). Facing a 12-7 deficit with just seconds left to play, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson rolled out of the pocket and threw a desperation heave into the end zone, resulting in a game-clinching interception for the Packers.

Except it wasn't. Instead, the NFL's much-maligned replacement officials inexplicably ruled the play a touchdown for the Seahawks, ignoring an obvious offensive pass-interference penalty and cementing the phrase "simultaneous catch" into the lexicon of poor sports officiating.

Over the weekend, the New York Jets decided to use their much talked about backup quarterback Tim Tebow in a couple of offensive plays. One of the plays was an easy swing pass where Tebow could make the catch out in the flat and hopefully find some room to run. An immaculate reception it was not.

There aren't too many times that a NFL team will attempt a 63-yard field goal, since missing the difficult kick will result in great field position for the opposing team.

But with only seconds left in the first half in their game against the Green Bay Packers Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers didn't have to worry about that when they sent kicker David Akers out to try what would tie the record for the longest kick in league history.

While pro football’s ultimate champion will be decided next week, the entire  NFL was a winner in 2011, as the league has never been more popular.
