Super Bowl XLVII Recap


Between Jacoby Jones, a power blackout, and a certain supermodel's slimey spit-swapping session, viewers of Super Bowl XLVII were left with a lot to talk about after the big game.

The Baltimore Raven's defeated the San Francisco 49ers 34-31, and after gaining a huge lead in the first half they weren't going to let anything like a major power outage stand in their way. Half the stadium lost power shortly after half-time, and it wasn't fully restored for what seemed like the longest 34 minutes in Super Bowl history.

Millions of viewers spent the half hour complaining about the blackout to their social media sites of choice, including Facebook and Twitter. The news of the blackout quickly out-shined even Beyonce- and her electrifying half time performance. The singer was joined on stage for a surprise reunion with former Destiny's Child singers Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.

While the power outage was the first of its kind we've seen at a Super Bowl, it wasn't the only thing making history. Jacoby Jones' 108-yard kickoff return for a touchdown was the first one ever seen at the start of the third quarter. The only other person to do so was former Bear's player Devin Hester at the beginning of a past Super Bowl game against the Colts.

Supermodel Bar Refaeli made a lot of people lose their nachos in her raunchy Go Daddy commercial. The company that started sexualizing domain names took it a step further this year in their ad, where Rafaeli can be seen sucking the tongue of a computer geek, nauseating sound effects and all.
