It’s here: Our 2013 Super Bowl Party Game
There was a time when the National Post would refer to the following exercise as a “Super Bowl drinking game.” But we are older and wiser now and realize the importance of having a good base of food prior to libations. So, with that, this is the Super Bowl eating and drinking game. SHARE with your friends. We know how much you like chicken wings.

‘My husband cannot [expletive] throw the ball and catch the ball,’ an angry Gisele Bundchen replied to New York Giants fans who taunted her after the game. The Brazilian model and wife of Tom Brady crossed a line, at least according to some of the Patriots.
NFL apologizes after M.I.A. gives middle finger at Super Bowl halftime show
For all the pomp and excess of Madonna’s Super Bowl halftime extravaganza a single extended middle finger by guest singer M.I.A. is likely to be the most remembered piece of the show.
The gesture, accompanied by a barely disguised expletive, came during a performance of Madonna’s new single, “Give Me All Your Luvin.”‘ At the end of her lines, M.I.A. appeared to sing “I don’t give a (expletive),” although it was hard to hear clearly.
The incident was reminiscent of Janet Jackson’s infamous “wardrobe malfunction” eight years ago — a surprise risque moment in front of tens of millions of unsuspecting viewers. The brief exposure of Jackson’s nipple during the 2004 halftime show raised a storm of controversy and put CBS in hot water with the Federal Communications Commission.

Giants, Patriots put together another classic
It was never going to be the same game. For all the shared bloodlines with Super Bowl XLII — the same directors, a similar script, the same leading men — this was always destined to be another play, if only because no two football games can possible be exactly alike. So many moving parts, so many new actors, so many games between there and here.
But the New England Patriots and the New York Giants have not put significant distance between one another in the past four years, and in the end, it was another game of mistakes, of grace under pressure, of brilliance at the end. In a Super Bowl that felt almost airtight, it was the Giants who delivered the upset again, at the end, in a come-from-behind 21-17 victory in Super Bowl XLVI at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

No shortage of Material
Bruce Arthur: There are many ways to describe the fountains of nonsense that orbit around the Super Bowl, but the best way is probably that it is a towering monument to the most American of bullspit, as an overdubbed movie might put it. The Playboy party will take place at a Hampton Inn; Paris Hilton will be at the ESPN “Next” party, despite being a relic of the past; a ticket to one of the Leather and Laces parties featuring Carmen Electra, Jenny McCarthy and the woman known as “JWoww” costs up to US$850, which is coincidentally what sensible people should be paid to attend. It is a great stinking soup of money and power, celebrities and their reflected glow.
But some of the glow is genuine, even if it attracts the most obsequious of moths. And so, we come to Madonna, who will be the halftime act at the Super Bowl Sunday, and appeared Thursday to speak to the media. Would she employ her thin veneer of an English accent? Would she be pompous? Would she be naked? She hadn’t done that for a while, but it seemed wise to be mentally prepared.
She was none of those things. She was OK. The modern American celebrity journalism machine, however, filled in the BS for her.
