San Francisco was down as much as 22 points and never led the Ravens, though it battled back to threaten not only Baltimore's lead but its victory at about the 2-minute warning. Final score: 34-31.

Lady Grantham, Team PBS: "I couldn't have electricity in the house,
I wouldn't sleep a wink. All those vapors floating about."

Suspicious plot to sabotage the Super Bowl: 12 minutes after Beyonce drained most of the electricity in Louisiana and just minutes before the beginning of Downton Abbey (the second-most-watched program on Super Sunday, last year) HALF THE LIGHTS FAILED AT THE LOUISIANA SUPERDOME!
     It took 35 minutes to turn them all back on, by which time millions of bored sportsball fans were probably watching Evil Gay Footman Thomas put the moves on the new blond in Lord Grantham's crib. Coincidental technical malfunction? Oh sure it was, Perry Mason.
     Did AKSARBENT hear what it thought it heard? After Downton Abbey ended and someone made us go back to his game, we thought we heard Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco drop the F-Bomb on CBS, live. Closed Captioning was still on from DA (we're talkin' bout YOU, Dame Maggie) but curiously, there was no four-letter word transcript. Were we to believe our lying ears? Apparently yes. Jim Buzinski of Outsports heard it too. Fucking awesome.
