Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis did what Ravens fans all over the country wanted him to: he won a championship in his last game. His path to get there wasn't exactly conventional, but that makes it even more of an interesting story than what people were hoping for. We explain why here.
For the first time in Super Bowl history, a non-game-related event at a football stadium took longer than the halftime show. The power outage at the Super Dome is one of the two biggest happenings in Super Bowl XLVII, with the other being an unexpected last-second drive falling just short.
The San Francisco 49ers were five yards short of doubling the largest comeback in Super Bowl history on Sunday, with three incomplete passes giving the Baltimore Ravens the championship instead. In only his tenth NFL start, Colin Kaepernick had his team within striking distance. We make and support the claim that CK & Co. aren't done contending for the NFL crown, and it would not be a surprise to see the Niners return to the big game next February in the Meadowlands.

If the social media world determined the Super Bowl's outcome and participants, it would be a re-match of Super Bowl XXX. The Dallas Cowboys are "America's Team" after all, if most of their fans on Facebook are U.S. residents. The Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers, the 2013 Super Bowl participants are behind the 'Boys by quite a bit for NFL social media supremacy.

Chris Culliver expressed his feelings about gay athletes by saying he did not want any on his team a few days ago. The San Francisco 49ers cornerback has since apologized for his statement, and has been grilled both before and after issuing his apology.
