At Madison Square Garden, the Rangers defeated the Flyers , 5-2, for the fourth consecutive time this season and the sixth time in a row going back to last season. In a physical game with four fights, the Rangers pulled away from a 2-2 tie with Philadelphia by scoring three goals in the 3rd period. [ more › ]

            They didn’t quite get a helmet catch, but after a thrilling game with a dramatic last drive, the Giants came back to defeat the New England Patriots and win Super Bowl XLVI 21-17. An estimated 111 million U.S. viewers watched as the Giants became the first 9-7 team to win the Super Bowl. Mario Manningham’s fourth quarter catch with less than four minutes left in the game was one of the defining plays, setting up Brandon Jacob’s butt-first, clock-eating game-winning touchdown. And in case you were wondering, the game finished at 9:55 p.m. [ more › ]

As expected, Mitt Romney soundly beat Newt Gingrich in the Nevada caucuses yesterday, no thanks to Donald Trump, who endorsed the candidate on Thursday. According to an extremely scientific poll of Nevada Facebook users, just 9.6% thought it had a positive affect on Romney, 41.4% voted “negative,” and 49% voted “neither.” In other equally important polling news, Rasmussen finds that Santorum beats Obama if you sample 12% of the electorate, and a certain cat has outsourced his way to impending victory.

All week, the internet has been making fun of the infamous Huffington Post, “What Time Does The Superbowl Start” SEO-trolling article from last year. As Deadspin summarized , the post existed “for the sole purpose of garnering internet search traffic from the thousands of people Googling ‘what time does the superbowl start?’” And it was damn successful too. But instead of just following that trail, we thought we’d pose a much more difficult question to pin down: what time does the Superbowl Super Bowl end? [ more › ]

Those of you who ditch the office for the weekend at 3 p.m. on Fridays on the pretense of “picking up some of those sour candy straws”: the MTA is on to you. A recent report co-authored by an MTA researcher shows that bus service on Fridays between noon and 3 p.m. experiences a “mini-surge,” but drops off later in the evening for a 5% total dip in customers. Naturally, the implication is that the agency could cut or “adjust” Friday bus service and save $13 million. [ more › ]

                          If your past as a male stripper is more famous than your previous movies, than obviously Saturday Night Live will milk that for all it’s worth. Last night’s host Channing Tatum (yes, you can watch his striptease here ) acknowledged his exotic dancer experiences in the monologue— and proceeded to show off his chiseled chest in that bit as well as a few other sketches. Highlights included a cold open featured Newt Gingrich as Moon President, Weekend Update’s take on Lana Del Ray’s performance a few weeks ago , Bobby Moynihan’s Guy Fieri impression, Tom Brady at a Ruby Tuesday’s and a killer Spike TV commercial for… Downton Abbey. And Bon Iver performed ! [ more › ]

We already know that Giants fans are passionate about their ass tattoos , but it seems Patriots fans are just…insane? Or maybe insanely creative junkyard artists? Some intense Pats fans made an elaborate effigy to the Giants, “roasting” a mannequin of QB Eli Manning on a spit above the “flames” of a burnt-out Giants car. The whole thing is a metaphor, of course, for the sorrow which engulfs our lives as we drift aimlessly from one vicarious event to the next. Which reminds us: did you know the Super Bowl is today ?
