Give Props to SuperBowl Chaos

SuperBowl week has officially started. By this time next week, we will know if the Patriots succeeded in their quest for the perfect season, or if the Giants will be attending their victory parade in the streets of New York.

Either way, I can guarantee one thing; And that is the continuation of the senseless SuperBowl headlines that fill the airwaves. Forget about Tom Brady’s right foot. We all know that he’s playing. Forget about the dog that ate a pair of $900 SuperBowl tickets. His owner forgives him. 

The reason why the SuperBowl is so big is that it attracts non-football fans to the game. Whether the game is watched for the commercials or the halftime show, millions of people huddle around big screens in homes and bars all over the country.

Even one of the biggest sports towns, Las Vegas, gets in on the act when it comes to antics away from the actual game. We know that you can bet on who will win the MVP, or who will commit the first penalty of the day, but did you know that Sin City has come up with more ridiculous SuperBowl props? Here are some examples from VegasWatch.net :

There are the standard props on this sort of thing- what song he will open with (Running Down A Dream is the favorite at BetUS), and end with (Free Falling is 2:3 at Bodog).
