On Sunday, the matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints, aka SuperBowl XLIV, became the most watched television program in history, dethroning the finale of M*A*S*H which held the record for 27 years.

106.5 million people tuned in to watch the Saints come from behind and take home the trophy to New Orleans (M*A*S*H had pulled in 105.9 million viewers). Viewership was up 8% from last year’s game.

Last night’s game was the first domestic television show to ever crack the 100 million viewer mark. Holy footballs, Batman, that’s A LOT of people!

“With all the memorable story lines going into Super Bowl XLIV combined with the awesome power of the NFL, we are thrilled with this rating, and I am extremely proud of the way the entire CBS Television Network produced, sold and promoted the most-watched television show in history,” said Sean McManus, president, CBS News and Sports.

Why do you guys think this year’s SuperBowl did so well? Was it the increase in HD sets across the country? Was it the teams playing? The quarterbacks? The ads (watch them here)? -Dr.FB

Well, this will put the rumors that they split to bed…..at least til the end of the week.  Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie along with their son Maddox attended the Super Bowl yesterday where the New Orleans Saints beat the Indianapolis Colts.

There has been rumors swirling for weeks that Brad and Angelina have split despite reports from their publicists that they are together.   They smooched during the game, even with that disgusting thing hanging from Brad’s chin.

Maddox, when your dad is sleeping, can you do us all a favor and cut off that dead animal that died below your dad’s bottom lip?  Thanks.-Dr.FB

Who Dat? It’s Sheila E.

Posted in Celebrity News, Entertainment, Music, Sports on January 25th, 2010 by drfunkenberry

Sheila, you are so wrong!  But…it’s kind of funny.  Sheila E. made a “fight song” for the Saints late last night where she dressed up as her friend Prince.

This was obviously in response to the fight song Prince made for the Minnesota Vikings late last week.

“Dig If You Will The Playoffs….” is how it starts with a little purple beat.

Let me know what you all think.  Highlarious.-Dr.FB

Kim Kardashian made her way to Los Angeles tonight after a weekend of cheering on Reggie Bush and the New Orleans Saints and taking in a Charlotte Hornets game with Reggie yesterday.

There is a “rumor” going around that Kim Kardashian made a bet with Reggie Bush that if the Saints win the Super Bowl, he will ask her to marry her.

Hmm.  Is that an incentive for Reggie to win or not to win?  Oh, come on Kim, We kid we kid.  As for picking a winner, I am out of doing that, so good luck Kim.-Dr.FB

Sports Boxers & Briefs 10/19/09 Edition

Posted in Entertainment, Sports on October 19th, 2009 by drfunkenberry

The Dodgers and Angels over the weekend put themselves in a hole. The Angels moreso down 0-2 to the Yankees play at 1 P.M. and hope to win one today. The Dodgers got walloped last night 11-0 and did the right thing when down 6-0 and started planning for tonight’s game. The Angels cannot go down 0-3 to the Yanks and the Dodgers cannot go down to the Phillies 3-1 either. Pivotal games today.

In football, Tom Brady was Tom Brady as the Patriots rolled over the Titans 59-0. Brett Favre pulled out another one for the Minnesota Vikings beating the Ravens who have now lost 3 in a row. The win less Chiefs beat the hapless Redskins and in the battle of the unbeaten, the New Orleans Saints beat the New York Giants in a game that was not close. The upset of the day was the Raiders holding the Eagles to 9 points to win. Wow.

Last week, we posted a video of Fox Sports going after Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo in a cartoon. We knew the video was harsh on Jessica and her weight and was soon pulled. Burger King, who sponsors the segment apologized to Jessica over it. Shame on the sports reporter who claimed the sent Jessica a grip of Whoppers to make up for it.-Dr.FB

Since early last week, Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush have been everywhere in Los Angeles and over the weekend, it was no different.

Kim and Reggie were in Brentwood to have some Cheesecake Factory. Brentwood? Really? Hmmm. Any other famous football players make news in Brentwood oh, say in the 90’s?

Reggie Bush was on a bye week with the New Orleans Saints and decided to spend the week in Los Angeles. So basically, the only one tackling him this weekend was Kim. Now, that’s one tackle I am sure Reggie did not try to avoid.-Dr.FB

Football season is here…finally.  I have some thoughts and predictions to share with you and I want to know your favorite team. Mine is the Dallas Cowboys and they are going…..nowhere.  Here are some other predictions and things I am looking forward to;

SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW: BON JOVI

Hear. Me. Out. You can knock Bon Jovi all you want but you know they have more hits than an adult film site. They have earned their due and if they are not the Halftime Show this year, it will be highly disappointing. The boys from Jersey baby.

THE MADDEN CURSE LIVES: Troy from the Pittsburgh Steelers is on the cover. He is out 6 weeks and it is a painful injury.

BRETT FAVRE’s CONSECUTIVE GAME STREAKS ENDS SOMETIME THIS YEAR: Favre’s record will fall as he will get hurt.

DETROIT LIONS WIN FIRST GAME IN WEEK 3: The Lions will beat the Washington Redskins week 3 and upset the Bears in week 4. Just watch.

TOM BRADY WILL BE TOM BRADY: The New England Patriots will be the team they were before Tom left. Speaking of which, when do you win 11 games and miss the playoffs? Wow.

FANTASY FOOTBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Aaron Rodgers. You guys are going to laugh now but the guy is going to get you over 30 td’s and 5-7 rushing td’s. Packers are scary. Super Bowl scary.

MICHAEL VICK WILL START A GAME FOR THE EAGLES: When was the last time McNabb was healthy for 2 years in a row? Just sayin’.

AFC DIVISION WINNERS: New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, Jacksonville Jaguars, San Diego Chargers, (Wild Card: Tennessee Titans, Buffalo Bills)

NFC Division Winners: Dallas Cowboys (not really but it’s my team!), Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints, Seattle Seahawks, (Wild Card: Minnesota Vikings, San Francisco 49ers)

You won’t believe who I have in the Super Bowl but one of the teams will have my fantasy football player of the year on it.

WEEK 1 UPSETS: Carolina over Philly, Jacksonville over Indy, San Francisco over Arizona.

I am doing this for fun, so you guys can give me some hell over it, but a lot of what I say will happen. Peace! Bon Jovi in 2010 baby!-Dr.FB

(Good luck to everyone’s team!)
