Your Monday Morning Super Bowl XLVI Round-up

Now that the dust has settled from last night’s thrilling Super Bowl contest, here are a few links to get you caught up what you may have missed:
- Eli Manning has silenced his critics by winning his second Super Bowl MVP, but Shutdown Corner makes the case that Justin Tuck deserved the award too, based on the pressure he applied on Tom Brady all day, including the 1st quarter safety
- Wes Welker’s dropped pass with just 3:46 left in the game is being singled out as the reason the Patriots lost the game, and based on their reaction yesterday, it’s safe to say some of his teammates probably agree

- Gisele Bundchen was also not happy with the Patriots receivers after the game, pointing out that “My husband cannot (bleeping) throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time!”
- Steelers James Harrison and Ryan Clark took a couple shots at the Patriots via Twitter after their loss, with Harrison going so far as to say “Cheaters never win!!!”
- It was quick, so you might have missed it, but M.I.A. apparently flipped America the bird during the halftime show (VIDEO HERE)
- Somebody bet $1,000 that the first score of the game would be a safety. That person is now $50k richer
- In case it was too noisy at your SB party to watch all the much-hyped commercials, here are all the Super Bowl Ads for your viewing pleasure
- And unless you live in North Platte, Nebraska, you probably didn’t know that Will Ferrell appeared in a SB commercial for Old Milwaukee
- Giants rookie LB Greg Jones proposed to his long-time girlfriend on the field immediately following the game, with confetti still falling around them

Stop the Presses: Tom Brady Got a Haircut! (PIC)
It’s true folks. This photo comes to us from ESPN Boston’s Chris Forsberg, who tweeted the image from a Patriots press conference today, where Tom Brady was showing off his spanking new haircut:

This will surely be hearbreaking news not only to Gisele Bundchen – who put a stop to trimming the Brady locks back in September of 2009 – but to those who have enjoyed watching Brady’s hair evolve from Bieber-esque, to ponytailed, to full-on androgynous territory. But now that he’s returned to the close crop, we can get back to focusing on the important things, like Brady’s choice of footwear (Uggs).
Boston.com went so far as to print an obituary for Brady’s long flowing hair, which is worth the read.

Friday Phone Call Between Tom Brady and Kyle Orton

Gisele [in the background]: Tommy, should I even bring underwear?
KO: Okay, but seriously, he also wants me to watch video! Of the other team! Can you imagine? What is that? I would understand if he wanted me to watch like “Replacements” or something, but game film? What? That’s crazy!
TB: Well… I really have to go.
KO: Okay, I am gonna go drink a TON of beer! You know what I mean? Get NFD, National Football Drunk. You know what I’m saying?
