The Billion Dollar Game:
Behind the Scenes of the Greatest Day In American Sport – Super Bowl Sunday

Web Watch loves watching the Super Bowl. Yeah, we don’t often care what teams are playing – although we always cheer for the NFC – but we love the glory, the spectacle, the over-excess of the event itself.

And yes, we even get to watch a decent commercial or two.

The Big Game, Pigskin Party, Gridiron Madness — whatever you end up calling the Super Bowl, there is typically one thing on everybody’s mind when Super Bowl weekend comes barrelling through: HOW DO YOU THROW THE ULTIMATE SUPER BOWL PARTY?

Confessions of a Wannabe Cheerleader

We all know that NFL players are some of the most injured sports athletes around.

According to the National Center of Catastrohopic Injury Research, 97% of all catastrophic sports injuries happened to NFL players.

What’s a “catastrophic sports injury”? Something that leads to paralysis or death.

How to be a Cirque du Soleil Contortionist

Cirque Du Soleil Anniversary Collection

At last count, Web Watch has seen 14 different Cirque du Soleil shows –which, at an average ticket price of $100 apiece, plus concessions and otherwise, means that we’ve spent a hell of a lot of money on Guy Laliberte’s entertainment empire.

And every cent so far we consider money well spent. Each production has been thoroughly entertaining and exciting.

One question we’re oft wondered is what it takes to be a Cirque du Soleil performer. And while a lot of this was answered in the phenomenal reality series FIRE WITHIN on Bravo (seriously, it was awesome!), the question still remains about the physicality of what those performers do and how they do it.

The All-Time Biggest Sports Jerks:
And Other Goofballs, Cads, Miscreants, Reprobates, and Weirdos

Sports fans are a finicky bunch.

When a player does something that loses The Big Game, those players can have a black mark on them that will follow them for the rest of their lives.

We all remember the superstars fondly, and wear their jerseys proudly. The goats? Not so much.

The Wave Watcher’s Companion:
Ocean Waves, Stadium Waves, and All the Rest of Life’s Undulations

Web Watch has been told that we were the first to get a Wave started at Coors Field in Denver during a Colorado Rockies baseball game circa 1993 or 1994 or so.

We may not have the date correct, but the one fact we do know is true is that drunk college kids sitting in front of us are easily persuaded to do things that they might not normally do in public.

Like doing The Wave.
