Green Bay Packers quarterback and Super Bowl XLV MVP, Aaron Rodgers, will be the guest on the “Ellen Degeneres Show” airing Tuesday Feb. 22, according to Ellen’s publicist.  That’s today, by the way, so don’t forget to set your DVRs.  Here are a few snippets from the [...]

It’s possible that Super Bowl XLV – a game pitting the Green Bay Packers against the Pittsburgh Steelers – will be the best Super Bowl in twenty years, since the Giants nudged the Bills 20-19 in Super Bowl XXV.  It’s conceivable that tomorrow’s game will challenge the great contests of old as one of the [...]
