Who were those guys, anyway? Did you like 'em?
I still don't know how I feel about The Who's performance during the Super Bowl halftime show last night in Miami. I didn't hate it. Based on a glance at Twitter and Facebook, many of my friends did. I didn't.

Party gras! Saints tame Colts for Super Bowl title
After 43 years marked largely by disappointment and embarrassment (remember when those fans wore bags over their heads?), the New Orleans Saints are NFL champions. Sterling outings by Drew Brees and Tracy Porter (pictured) provided the highlights, but some gutsy moves by coach Sean Payton paved the way for an upset over Indianapolis.

Center Court jumps into the sports bar arena
Rick Kohen did plenty of research before he and co-owner Brian James opened Center Court Pub & Grille, the new sports bar located a bounce pass from the Bradley Center at 1118 N. 4th St. Although two previous bars -- Legends and GameTime -- failed at the location, Kohen thinks that can change.

Saturday Scorecard: Why the Pro Bowl stinks
With appearances by Packers star Aaron Rodgers and Burlington native Tony Romo, the Pro Bowl will generate a degree of interest among Wisconsin football fans biding their time until the Super Bowl. That doesn't mask the fact the Pro Bowl is -- without question -- the most boring all-star game among the four major North American pro sports.

Locker's adds drive-thru twist to Valentine's market
It's not unusual to see a Locker's Florist delivery car cruising around your neighborhood, especially as Valentine's Day approaches. This year, however, new owner Chris Leffler plans to sell flowers to customers via a drive-through operation at State Fair Park. "At first, I just wanted to get a trailer or something to advertise. Then it evolved to a drive-thru," Leffler said.

4-closure: Favre, Vikings fall short in Superdome
After sitting on the edge of their seats for several spine-tingling hours Sunday evening, Vikings fans now know what it feels like to have Brett Favre break their hearts in a do-or-die moment. Packers fans know the feeling all too well. For all his accomplishments, Favre is going to have to live with a legacy of near-misses in close games.

Favre, Vikings seem headed in a Super direction
It might be time for Packers fans to prepare for the worst-case scenario. The Vikings look strong. Brett Favre is playing nearly flawless football. A victory Sunday in New Orleans will put Green Bay's hated rival within reach of a championship. For many Wisconsin fans, the only thing that could make this worse is if the Vikings had beaten the Packers in the playoffs.
