Noted conservative radio host and friend of the site Rush Limbaugh was in Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s luxury box last night for the Super Bowl. At some point, he decided to dig for treasure. And since with with great seats comes great responsibility (and greater TV exposure), America got to see ol’ Rush picking his nose. Video (if you’re into that kind of thing) after the jump.

This afternoon, while joining ABC New’s Diane Sawyer, President Obama was asked a number of questions on the most pressing issues heading into the 2012 election. Such topics as the economy, foreign affairs and, yes, who will win the Super Bowl XLVI, the New England Patriots or the New York Giants?

It wasn’t a secret in the Boston Bruins organization that goalie Tim Thomas, whose superb play keyed the Bruins’ 2011 Stanley Cup win, wouldn’t partake in the White House visit that victory enabled. But that doesn’t mean they’re all happy about it.

As you probably know, Bruins goalie Tim Thomas decided not to participate in the team’s White House visit honoring their 2011 Stanley Cup win. Earlier this evening, Thomas released a statement explaining his decision. Read that statement after the jump.

You know the Giants have no chance to beat the 49ers on Sunday because of Dick’s Sporting Goods, but did you know that they’re also doomed because of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie? Christie, earlier this week, noted that any potential Super Bowl parade for the Giants should be held in New Jersey, as that’s where the Giants actually play. The problem, of course: the Giants still need to win two more games for that parade to happen. Any chance they win those games with Christie already talking parade? WE THINK NOT. (Please, no one tell Michael Kay we mentioned the jinx thing.) Photo via

Spike Lee tweeted out the following photo last night, in which he was seen giving President Barack Obama a pair of the not-yet-released Air Jordan Spizike “Bordeaux.” The shoe’s are a mouthful, and they’re also an eyeful.

FIFA has a problem with the 2014 World Cup. No, not pretending the favelas of Rio don’t exist, though we imagine it’ll try its hardest. No, this problem has to do with…beer.

Vice President Joe Biden lived up to his reputation as a master mis-speaker yesterday in San Francisco, when he tried to fire up the crowd by telling him that the NFC’s SUper Bowl representative would be…the team the 49ers are playing against on Sunday.

One of the great things about sports, maybe the best, is the way it allows people of different backgrounds – people who’ve never met in their lives – to connect over a shared experience. It can be an especially useful tool for politicians – let’s face it, they’ll never actually meet most of their constituents, so they can at least express an affinity for [local team] and hope it resonates with voters. Maybe that’s what Charles Mainor was going for.

Upon hearing former ESPN analyst Craig James‘ first debate of his U.S. Senate campaign was happening last night, we wanted to know: how’d it go? Sure, we’d heard James spout platitudes in campaign ads and radio interviews, but the chance to hear him spout platitudes in a debate setting was really an opportunity we didn’t want to miss.
