  2. The investigation to whether the New England patriots intentionally used underinflated footballs against the Indianapolis Colts was narrowed down to the locker room attendant at the Patriot's stadium. On a surveillance video the intentant was bringing 12 balls supplied by the Patriots to another room for pregame inspections by the games officials was reported on Mone. The officials check the footballs two hours and fifteen minutes before the game even starts. Their has not been a final decision on any wrong doing when the attendent was interviewed by NFl investagators. The rules say the ball must be inflated in between 12.5 pounds per square inch and 13.5 pounds per square inch. The NFL said the footballs supplied by the patriots were underinflated.

  4. By many people around the world coach Pete Carroll, of the Seattle Seahawks, lost the game for the team. To start his bad desicions he refused to call one of his two timeouts and let the clock run down to 26 sec. They still had time to have there lead runner, Lynch, run the ball in for their winning touchdown. Instead Carroll desided to have quarterback Wilson run a passing play. The Patiots defeated the Seahawks with a game winning interception by a rookie.

  5. It looked like the Seahawks had certain victory when they where close to the goal line, and then Malcolm Butler intercepted Russell Wilson's pass, right past the one yard line, and turned the way the game ended.

  6. The Atlanta Hawks are on a 19 game win streak. Which is a franchise record. The Atlanta Hawks are thirty nine and eight this season. Stephen A Smith still says he would pick the Cleveland Cavaliers over the Hawks to go to the finals despite the Cavaliers only being twenty nine and twenty.

  7. The Seahawks made the decision to throw the football on second down from the 1-yard line, instead of handing it off to Marshawn Lynch with the game. Then Butler intercepted a pass from quarterback Russell Wilson in the final seconds. "We had it. I don't understand how you don't give it to the best back in the league on not even the 1-yard line," Irvin said. Then a fight broke out with seconds left of the game.

  10. The Patriots had a victory in the Superbowl 49! The Seahawks were close to winning in the 4th but decided to make a pass that was intercepted and gave the Patriots possession of the ball. There was a bit of a fist fight at the end when this had happened and it allowed the Patriots to move farther down the field. The ending score was 28 to 24.

  11. Cleveland Browns quarterback, Johnny Manziel, has entered a treatment program after a rookie season that left many questioning about his work ethic and desire. Going to rehab was part of his idea, he told people that he wants to 'figure out his value system.' They expect him to be in treatment at least a few weeks but depends on what doctors want.

  13. Serena Williams won her 19th Grand Slam title. She is now second only to Steffi Graf on the list of major winners in the Open era. The 33-year-old Williams, the oldest winner of the Australian women's title in the Open era, won the first six points of the second set and seemed on course for another lopsided victory before Sharapova hit back in a gripping second set.

  14. Malcolm Butler is different from most NFL players. He once was the voice at Popeyes of, "Can I take your order?". He went to Popeyes after nobody recruited him after high school and after he got kicked off of the Hinds Community College football team because of campus altercation. He's known as the Super Bowl Hero because he didn't let Kerse get in his way. He knew in his mind what was going to happen. Kerse was suppose to clear a path for Lockette to run. Butler ended up beating these guys to it and caught the pass.

  15. Two Irish Men, by the names of Paul McEvoy and Richard Whelan, snuck into the Super Bowl. They tell the story on how they were hoping to get some tickets but since the prices were so high, they didn't get any, but that didn't stop their confidence.
    "Our game plan was to be super-confident," Richard told RTE Radio One Morning Ireland."We just thought if we pretend we belong there, nobody will question us. Between one layer of security and another we just walked in behind these 20 first aid workers, straight up to the front door and hid in behind them. Paul was looking at his phone, pretending to text me, as if we had just popped out to look at an email we got or something," he continued. We walked past another security guard that just wasn't paying attention. We could see the field then, the stadium and the atmosphere was insane."
    Incase they were followed, they didn't look back, but instead walked around the stadium very fast.

  17. The Atlanta Hawks a professional basketball team in the NBA were on a 19 game winning streak before losing on Monday to the New Orleans Pelicans. The Atlanta Hawks are having one of their best season in franchise history. They are one of the top teams in the NBA right now, they were projected to make the playoffs but not to get the number 1 seed in the playoffs.

  18. http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Ecstatic-fans-Skittles-toss-sets-off-sprinklers-at-Seattle-sports-bar-290553601.html

    A fan at Sport Restaurant at KOMO Plaza got a little too excited when Marshawn Lynch made a 31 yard catch late in the 4th quarter during the Super Bowl. This fan threw a bag of Skittles into the air, being intercepted by a sprinkler head on the ceiling, setting it off and drenching all those inside the bar. The water poured through the bar, setting off the fire alarms in the garage below. There isn't word yet on how much money the Skittles will cost the restaurant.

  20. Saturday’s entertaining UFC 183 headliner between Anderson Silva and Nick Diaz quickly wore off when news broke that both men failed drug tests related to the event.
    Silva flunked an out-of-competition pre-fight test administered by the Nevada State Athletic Commission on Jan. 9. The results came in and revealed the former UFC middleweight champion tested positive for drostanolone metabolites, which indicates the use of an anabolic steroid, as well as androsterone, a form of endogenous testosterone.

  23. An Alabama boys high school basketball game made history Saturday night setting the state record for the lowest-scoring game of all-time. Bibb County scored off a rebound after the other team missed a three-point attempt in the first 15 seconds of the game. Head coach said after the first basket was scored they wanted to slow everything down because it was the team's fourth game of the week and players started to cramp up in the previous night's game. Brockwood held the ball for the rest of the first quarter and the entire second quarter. Bibb County followed Brockwood's strategy in the third quarter. nothing changed entering the final quarter. Seven shots were taken in the final 15 seconds, but the score stayed the same.

  26. Since the Seahawks didn't go into Beast Mode they found themselves in Spin Mode. After the game they were left to explain why they turn Marshawn Lynch, the running back known as "The Beast" into decoy with the game and chose to pass the ball instead. There was plenty of blame to go around starting with the offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell. Darrell Bevell may have gotten too cute and as a result with all that he found his name on top of the trending list on Twitter.
