Congratulations, America. You just rewarded a company that came up with the worst Super Bowl ad of the season.
A tale of three Tweets: the power company providing electricity to the Super Dome very proud of the job they did (bottom); the power company blaming the Super Dome and/or the NFL (middle); and oh, maybe we should stop trying to place blame and fix this fucking problem instead (top).
Everyone knows that Ray Lewis sacked that transformer in an effort to extend his career.
Power goes out in Superdome, delaying Super Bowl XLVII in 3rd quarter

NEW ORLEANS - Baltimore didn’t lose any momentum from an extended halftime.
Jacoby Jones took the 2nd half kickoff back 109 yards — setting an NFL record — to extend the Baltimore Ravens’ lead to 28-6 early in the third quarter.
Then the Superdome lights went out. Officials are still working to restore power to the stadium.
The third quarter is usually when things get boring anyway, so it’s probably a good thing that they shut off the lights.
So that halftime show went off without a hitch, eh?
@daweiner: Whoa. The unseen sniper security at the Super Bowl.

… let’s hope he never has to use it.

One of the nice things about the CBS Sports player for the Super Bowl? It has an all-22 view, which means you can see what every player is doing all at once. Switching angles on the fly is pretty rad.
