Not a sports blog, gang. But there were a couple of interesting things that came out of yesterday's "big game." One was obviously the photograph of Lil Wayne decked out in green and yellow to support the Packers, who beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in semidramatic fashion and prevented the night from being ultimately ceded to Groupon's moronic collaboration with Christopher Guest.

The most astute observation from Lil Wayne's Super Bowl coverage for WSJ:
"Bout to put some Cheeze on that RotleisBURGER!!!"
This quote from Rob Harvilla's self-explanatory take on the Tron-tastic halftime show, "The Black Eyed Peas Take The Super Bowl: In Defense Of Fergie, In Condemnation of Slash":

Billboard compiled the most notable of the music-related commercials from the night, including Justin Bieber and Ozzy Osbourne shilling for Best Buy and Eminem repping Motown for Chrysler:
