| The Baltimore Ravens survived a furious San Francisco rally and a 34-minute Superdome blackout to win Super Bowl XLVII 34-31 in what was Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis´ last game as a professional football player and the first major title game in any sport where two brothers coached against each other. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said his handshake with his brother Jim, who is San Francisco´s head coach, was the toughest thing he has ever had to do. He said Jim simply told him, "congratulations." This was the second Super Bowl title for Baltimore.

Expect more of these sorts of high-profile incidents. Read the last chapter of "I.T. WARS" for a real eye opener (it´s on Amazon).

This is why I can´t watch the NFL regularly. The refs always come into question in the end if the score is closer that 28 points. In this case I can see the 49ers having a beef with the refs most of the game (e.g. running into the kicker instead of roughing, two blatant holds on the kickoff return, offsides on the 2-pt conversion, and the non-call on 4th down). Can´t recall any similar pro-49er calls. Oh well, Beyonce was smokin´ hot, if ignorant.

Poor little Baltimore. Thrown for a loop by a 30-minute power failure. At least that´s what that fool Jim Nantz kept bleating about.
Wonder why it didn´t affect the 49ers?

The fix was in, and Simms was fooling no one with his repeated declaration about the "excellent non-call" on fourth and goal.

Love Michael Oher and Joe Flaco .. and I have more respect for John Harbaugh as a family man (his brother not so much...meh). So glad San Fran went down!!!! Go Ravens, thanks for the thrill.

Wanted the Niners to win, but must congratulate the Ravens on a well-played game. Of course, the refs were in favor of the Ravens. Since he has retired, I hope we don´t hear much of Ray Lewis again.

The Less Obnoxious Harbaugh Brother won. Those of us in the other 56 states hate California and everyone hates the San Fran Sissies. Plus the San Fran QB covered with tattoos is a punk.

I too wanted the Niners to win. The Ravens played well. However, I couldn´t believe how many times I saw Raven players´ hands all over the Niners´ face masks. I also saw lots of pass interference. Not a peep from the refs. No one wants the refs to play the game, but this was ridiculous.

I can´t say that I was rooting for either team. I just wanted to see a good game. The Refs didn´t seem to take my same nuetral outlook as they appeared to give the Ravens most of the breaks.
I hope to never hear of Ray Lewis again. However, I expect that if I follow crime news, I probably will. The two weeks leading up to this game, seemed like nothing but Ray Lewis this-Ray Lewis that, to the point of becomming sickening. It appeared to me that on several occassions, the great, wonderful and stupendous Ray Lewis whiffed on several tackles in what seemed more like a Manti Teo immitation rather than live up to his seemingly overblown reputation.

As a Ravens fan,I guess I should be happier about this but Lewis being gone makes it really bittersweet.I get that people around the country hates the man for whatever reason but he was as dedicated to his profession as anyone I´ve ever seen.
I go back to being a Balto. Colts fan and the hey days of Unitas,Berry and co.Stunned,shocked and saddened doesn´t begin to describe the feelings the night the Colts moved to Indy,in mayflower vans,in the middle of the night.
The Ravens are going to have some tough decisions to make in the off season to make room for a big payday for Flacco.
One thing I´ll never get about football is when a team gets ahead and goes into a prevent defense and allows the other team back in the game.

With two Super Bowl rings, Ray-Ray now has as many rings as he has murder victims [supposedly]. Shannon Sharpe asked him straight out during the pre-game about that night in Atlanta in 2000, and Lewis started rambling about how "...God doesn´t make mistakes." Huh? Now I know you´re guilty.
The Ravens will be a team to reckon with for years to come. Congrats to them [minus Ray Lewis].

"Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said his handshake with his brother Jim, who is San Francisco´s head coach, was the toughest thing he has ever had to do."
Sooo, the toughest thing he ever had to do was shake his brother´s hand after a football fame? Really?

The controversy over the Obama administration’s response to the Benghazi attack last year began at a meeting over coffee on Capitol Hill three days after the assault. It was at this informal session with the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence that the ranking Democrat asked David H. Petraeus, who was CIA director at the time, to ensure that committee members did not inadvertently disclose classified information when talking to the news media about the attack. “We had some new members on the committee, and we knew the press would be very aggressive on this, so we didn’t want

It is never good for an administration when a front-page newspaper article about an ongoing controversy begins as follows: “The White House offered a new account Monday of how and when it learned .?.?. ” That’s what readers of The Post awoke to on Tuesday. In trying to contain the controversy and protect President Obama, White House officials have only added to questions about what happened. Until this week, the story of how White House officials learned that the Internal Revenue Service was targeting conservative groups was fairly straightforward. White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler was notified in late April

There are various reasons you might not care about the Obama administration’s spying on journalist James Rosen and labeling him a “co-conspirator and/or aider and abettor” in an espionage case. Liberals may not be particularly bothered because the targeted journalist works for Fox News. Conservatives may not be concerned because of their antipathy toward the news media generally. And the general public certainly doesn’t have much patience for journalists’ whining. But here’s why you should care — and why this case, along with the administration’s broad snooping into Associated Press phone records, is more serious than the other supposed

There seems to be bipartisan consensus that whatever the White House is doing to fend off scandal is making things worse. Howard Fineman sounds a lot like Right Turn these days: “White House aides are tempting fate with their reluctant, piecemeal and contradictory disclosures of what they knew and when they knew it, especially about a report on the Internal Revenue Service’s 18-month effort to target tea party and other conservative groups for special scrutiny.” The constantly shifting stories from Jay Carney and the IRS dissembling and pleas of ignorance only heighten concern that there has been serious wrongdoing.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

John Podhoretz has a good column today on the Obama administration’s travails. I did not know this bit until I read the column: Even more startling, the search warrant makes clear that the FBI already had everything it needed on the leaker, as the request for a search warrant features quotes from an interview that were tantamount to a confession. It asked that the warrant be sealed — in other words, that Rosen not be told — because knowledge might “cause subjects to flee”! Imagine it: Rosen, an on-air reporter

There’s really no reason for the press to suggest that the recent slew of scandals involving the Obama administration — Benghazi, the AP phone-record seizure, the snooping in James Rosen’s e-mail, the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups, and so on — are a confusing jumble. There is a very clear thread running through all of the administration’s actions: The U.S. deputy chief of mission in Libya, Gregory Hicks, says that he was told not to speak to a member of Congress about Benghazi without a State Department lawyer present, that he received a phone call from Hillary Clinton’s

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?
