MAN CAVE: Your quick-to-the-point Super Bowl roundup

Man Cave is a testosterone-laden Monday feature that highlights the weekend haps of a pop culture-loving Philly dude.

Well, another Super Bowl has come and gone. The Giants have once again belly-flopped into the post-season, and promptly started practicing for their big game against the corporate fat-cat New England Patriots. Most Philadelphia Eagles fans didn't want to watch, because the thought of rooting for either the dishonest Patriots or the hated division rival Giants leaves a foul taste in the mouth. Still it's good to know Peyton is no longer the top Manning and that Tom Brady's not some Hercules half-god.

Madonna executed a ritual halftime performance complete with eye-popping light-show, fully-costumed backup dancers and random guest stars. She probably did a good job of keeping my Mom from channel-surfing, but most sports fans would probably agree that the Super Bowl's Research and Development department should reconsider utilizing aging pop-starlets at the halftime show next year.

The commercials were pretty run-of-the-mill. Nothing particularly stood out. We had our usual dogs fetching Bud Light and babies doing gymnastics for Doritos. A few winners sneaked by, including this Oikos yogurt commercial in which John Stamos gets head-butted, and the one where the green (of course) M&M strips at a party.
