      Comments Off on Last Man Live

You might recall Kyle Whelliston‘s ridiculous game of Super Bowl Knowledge Avoidance, “Last Man” (or #lastman), from 2011 and 2012. The object of the game is to go as long as possible without knowing who won the Super Bowl. The purpose of the game is… uh… well, for a certain breed of iconoclasts like Whelliston and some of his followers,… Read more »

Last Man Live (and Go Giants)

      Comments Off on Last Man Live (and Go Giants)

For most of us, myself included, today is Super Bowl Sunday. But for some in the quirky Mid-Majority cult community, it’s the start of Last Man — or, if you prefer, #lastman — the annual game of trying to avoid learning the result of the Super Bowl (a.k.a. #TheKnowledge) for as long as possible. You might remember this from last… Read more »

#FindTheLastMan

      3 Comments on #FindTheLastMan

This won’t really mean much of anything to regular blog readers, but over on Twitter, the quirky little community of mid-major obsessives orbiting The Mid-Majority is having a blast trying to “find” Kyle Whelliston, “Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego”-style, based on hints he’s dropped while hiding from “The Knowledge” (of who won the Super Bowl) during his annual… Read more »

But if anyone wants to comment on the game (or the commercials), here’s the place to do it. Go, uh, Packers!… Read more »

And the Jets linebacker would like to tell you about it: Like MJD, “I just hope he doesn’t stay up tonight, calling Sal Palantonio’s home phone at all hours of the night, just screaming into the receiver about disrespect. It seems like he wants to.” P.S. The New York and Boston tabloids didn’t disappoint in their coverage of the game:… Read more »

In case you missed it, the Seattle Seahawks improved to 8-9 (the first NFL team ever to even have that record) and advanced to the second round of the playoffs after upsetting the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints in Seattle on Saturday.

Fat guy FTW!

For those who missed it (a group that includes me), here is the video of yesterday’s 71-yard kickoff return by 315-pound Patriots offensive lineman Dan Connolly, the longest kick return ever by an NFL offensive lineman and, according to the AP’s Ralph D. Russo, “without hesitation or qualifier…[the] greatest fat guy kick return in NFL history.” Connolly didn’t quite manage… Read more »

Super Bowl XLIV Live Chat

      Comments Off on Super Bowl XLIV Live Chat

I’m billing this as a “live chat” rather than a “live blog,” since I don’t know how much I’ll be participating in it, what with girls being awake for much of the game. But, at the very least, my occasional tweets will appear automatically in the chat window below.
