Bishops Bet on Ball
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Friday, February 04, 2011
On Rachel’s topics of football and food, here’s a fun story I read today:
The bishops of the dioceses of Pittsburgh and Green Bay have made a friendly bet on Sunday’s Super Bowl Game. You can read the whole story here, but the gist of it is that bishops bet on the game, and charities will benefit. Who doesn’t love a little friendly inter-diocesan competition?

Since Rachel’s talking about Super Bowl ads today, here’s a look at the “offensive” and “demeaning” pro-life commercial starring Tim Tebow and his mom. Kind of makes you wonder what all the fury was about, doesn’t it?
Super Bowl Ads

It was the Tim Tebow ad that got most of the pre-game attention, but I’m curious to see how you felt about the rest of the ads, now that the big game is over.
To me, they seemed a little more tame (by comparison). Not nearly as many ads featured scantily-clad women, and only one ad really seemed to try and push the limits in that regard. In fact, most of the commercials that featured any kind of “skin”... READ MORE

To Me, It's Not So Super
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Just me on Thursday, February 04, 2010
When I was at the grocery store on Monday, there were noticeably higher-than-usual amounts of things like soda and queso dip on sale. It puzzled me at first, but then I remembered that we were kicking off the week of preparation for the big game. The Super Bowl. The most-watched football game of the year.
(Probably. What do I know about it?)

Now That's a Pro-Life Ad
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Thursday, February 04, 2010
At NCRegister.com I’ve been blogging a bit about feminists’ varying reactions to the upcoming pro-life Super Bowl ad featuring football star Tim Tebow. In my research, I was intrigued to come across this pro-life video featuring NFL players from 1989.
With all the furor over the subtle, tame Tebow ad, can you imagine the uproar if they dared to produce something like this today?

In our Super Bowl Picks contest, many guesses were close, but no one came as close to predicting the score as Susie did—only off by one point! Pretty impressive!
