Regardless of whether you’re a sports fan or not, chances are that you’ll be watching at least a portion of the Super Bowl game on Super Bowl Sunday, whether it be during a SUPER BOWL PARTY, at a bar, or just sitting home and watching it on TiVo with your family.
And the Super Bowl is a 4+ hour long extravaganza of commercial excess. This led the WALL STREET JOURNAL to sit down and figure out exactly HOW MUCH ACTION ACTUALLY TAKES PLACE DURING AN AVERAGE TELEVISED FOOTBALL GAME.

The Super Bowl.
A time for getting together with friends, family, and co-workers for the ultimate Super Bowl party as you gather around the big screen to watch the game (and the Super Bowl commercials), while you hunker down with some awesome Super Bowl party food.
And what makes watching the Super Bowl with a crowd more interesting is a little friendly wager.

Detroit’s Hans Steiniger knows all about what it takes to be a true football fan.
That’s because HANS STEINIGER HAS VISITED ALL 31 NFL STADIUMS as part of a four-year quest to complete a unique journey of experiencing each stadium as a “local fan”. Yup, he attended the games as a local would – in full jersey, face-painted, bead-wearing, cheesehead-toting regalia.
We’ve all watched the infamous RUNNING OF THE BULLS festival from Spain, and just like Billy Crystal, have thought about what it would take to actually go through with the suggestion and run with the bulls ourselves.
Web Watch is not one of those who have felt the need to participate. Watch and cheer, sure. But from the safety of some balcony overlooking the craziness.
LIFE magazine has released their list of the TOP 34 MUST-SEE SPORTING EVENTS AND SPORT LOCATIONS. To them, this represents the ultimate sports “bucket list” that everyone should attempt to complete.

The 17th annual CELEBRITY MASCOT GAMES are taking place on July 16th at Stetson University, and July 17th and 18th at Amway Arena in central Florida.
Each year since 1992, mascots from colleges, universities, and professional sports organizations have gotten together to prove, once and for all, who is the best mascot.
Some of the events the mascots have had to compete in the past were the obstacle course, giant bowling, dodgeball and jousting. If you haven’t seen the clips on ESPN SportsCenter, you will this week.
