TOTALLY CLEVVER: ABOUT THAT HALFTIME SHOW...

CLEVVER NEWS #DHR - FEBRUARY 2, 2015

LEFT SHARK WAS SUPER BOWL XLIX HALFTIME MVP

On Super Bowl Sunday the Left Shark became an overnight sensation. In the midst of the highly-anticipated Katy Perry halftime extravaganza, performed in front of a record-breaking viewing audience, Left Shark dared to "dance like nobody is watching." Amazing! In fact, Left Shark is such an unstoppable force of goodness that the Internet needed to put him everywhere...

THREE MARTINI LUNCH: FEBRUARY 2, 2015

National Review's Jim Geraghty joins Radio America's Greg Corombos to discuss current events. Today's topics: Lindsey Graham and George Pataki explore presidential bids, Nationwide Insurance's dead kids ad, and the bizarre end of Super Bowl XLIX.



5 coaching blunders to rival Pete Carroll's Super Bowl brain lock

Pete Carroll's mind-numbing decision to throw a pass from the 1-yard line with 20 seconds remaining in the Super Bowl instead of handing off to the unstoppable Marshawn Lynch brings to mind some of the worst calls in the history of the NFL. Here are a few of those all-time sideline blunders:

Miracle at the Meadowlands: The year was 1978, and the Giants were 20 seconds away from defeating the Eagles. All they had to do was take a knee. But the Giants had other ideas, and quarterback Joe Pisarcik handed the ball off to fullback Larry Csonka, who fumbled. Cornerback Herman Edwards scooped up the loose ball and returned it for a touchdown.

Parcells calls for the option: Late in 1997, the Jets - who had gone 1-15 the season before - looked poised to make the playoffs, as they were about to tie a game against the Lions in Detroit. With the ball at the Lions' 9-yard line, Jets coach Bill Parcells called for a halfback pass with rookie Leon Johnson. In typical Jets fashion, the pass was intercepted, and the Jets missed the playoffs...

JOHN ELWAY: MY BELIEFS ALIGN WITH THE GOP

Today is the NFL's big day.  It's the Denver Broncos of the AFC versus the Seattle Seahawks of the NFC in the Super Bowl.  I don't have any interest in either team, frankly, but an article in Politico today may have decided which team I'll be rooting for tonight:

John Elway said on Sunday that he aligns himself with the GOP, but that he doesn't plan on running for office anytime soon.

The football Hall of Famer and executive vice president of football operations for the Denver Broncos said on "Fox News Sunday" that though he sees himself as a Republican, he's in the "middle right."

"I don't believe in safety nets - obviously, we have to have some kind of safety nets - but I think my philosophy is when given the opportunity to go take advantage of that. I think that's when you get the best out of people," Elway said just ahead of Sunday's Super Bowl showdown between his Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks."So my beliefs align best with the GOP. I wouldn't say I'm way right. I'm middle right. "

If Congress acted more like a business and gave a little to get a little, Elway suggested it would get a lot more done.

"I've been fortunate enough to be in business. I’m one of those that believes you have to give a little to get some. and so I’d like to see us be able to free up Congress a little bit and say we need to give up a little bit to get a little bit," Elway said. "If we were able to do that and we acted more like businessmen in that situation, I believe we would get a lot more done."
