IT'S A SHAME ABOUT RAY, AGAIN: I'm still trying to recover from the Bears loss, but didn't want to let this football-related nugget to pass. On Saturday, the 2007 Pro Football Hall of Fame class was announced and noticeably absent, once again, was Ray Guy. Yes, while every full-time position in every other sport is represented in the Halls of Fame, not a single punter is enshrined in Canton. Guy, who was first eligible in 1992, has been a finalist six times, meaning he's been passed over more than a Hebrew slave's door slathered in lamb's blood. Understandably he's growing frustrated. Here's an interesting look behind the scenes of the voting process, which should make everyone appreciate the way the Baseball Hall does its vetting.
Meanwhile, if the halftime show gave you a jones to beef up your Prince collection, this Pop Matters column offers a through rundown of the Purple One's long and winding career from 1978 to 1999 to 3121.
And while everyone seems to agree that this year's Super Bowl ads were less than super, only one was so offensive that it most likely will never be shown again (or at least not until two gay head coaches face off in the big game). Also Cracked has the last word on the ads with hi-larious analysis of the game's five worst commercials.
