Millions of couples will snuggle up on the couch or go out to celebrate the Super Bowl this Sunday. The national event that conjures images of wings, beer and hearty brouhaha can be the biggest day of the year to some and just another Sunday to others. And sometimes those differing esteems exist within a couple. We know what you're thinking: the guy's the one glued to the TV, right?

We love relationships that defy stereotypes, so we set out to find couples in which she's the sports fan and he's not. Below, two relationships where the lady loves sports … Read More

Like most women on the planet, I dreamed that I would one day find the perfect man. Someone who would not mind me occasionally bringing home a stray dog or cat. A man who could watch Monty Python's Holy Grail repeatedly and would still have a beverage shoot out his nose when the Frenchman says, "I fart in your general direction." And, most importantly, I longed for a man who could spend many a Sunday afternoon lying on the couch watching football with me. Honestly, I thought that the last requirement on my list … Read More

Vegetarians behind People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) say their meat-free diets make their sex lives superior, but NBC will hear nothing of it.   The network rejected PETA's racy "Veggie Love" Super Bowl commercial, saying it depicts a level of sexuality that exceeds their standards. (Was it the suggestion of asparagus penetration or the suggestive pumpkin licking?) Actually, NBC submitted a blush-worthy list of additional shots to be cut before the commercial is resubmitted. It included "touching her breast with her hand while eating broccoli," "pumpkin from behind between legs," "rubbing … Read More

Super Bowl XLIII is just days away and even though it's the ultimate game, they're still going to play it again next year. The explosive Arizona Cardinals are taking on the stalwart Pittsburgh Steelers in sunny Tampa. You may know the storyline; the Cardinals are a perennial also-ran (and only made the playoffs because they play in a weak division) and the Steelers have one of the most storied histories in the NFL. In the eyes of many experts, the Steelers are a heavy favorite (though Vegas has them as only a 7 point favorite as of press time). But … Read More

When the Bloodhound Gang dutifully clarified "You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals," in their ode to the Discovery Channel, they may have been calling out to the wrong network. After all, it was the NFL that recently rejected The Ashley Madison Agency's Super Bowl ad, and revoked its permission to advertise during any NFL game, forever more.

Ashley Madison is a seven-year-old online dating service that connects married people looking for discreet affairs. Ironically, The New York Post recently printed a markedly non-discreet, full-page ad for the agency, which featured an open letter to … Read More

A former New York advertising exec is raising money with the hope of buying ad time to promote her search for a husband during this season's Super Bowl.

Amy Borkowsky, who lists her age as "somewhere between Carrie and Samantha," is looking for Mr. Right, and what better way to reach a large pool of potential mates than during the XY's must-see televised event? She's been campaigning on her website SuperBowlSingleGirl.com hoping to raise approximately $3 million for the ad spot. Borkowsky has so far raised a mere thousand dollars and only a few open commercial slots remain, … Read More

Rupert Murdoch, the honcho of Fox’s parent company NewsCorp, referred to this last Super Bowl as the best day in the company’s history. They had the most viewers, the best game, and brought in the most bucks. The only way it would have gotten better was if the New York Times was hit by a meteor or if Ted Turner owned the Patriots. The day was not so good for Tom Brady. He spent a lot of the afternoon taking jarring hits from the Giants voracious defense and may have not been 100% from his ankle injury. But some … Read More

Whether you watched every minute of last night’s Superbowl or spent your evening tucked away in a bookstore, as one Tango staffer did, chances are you have strong opinions for or against football madness. But more importantly: how do you feel about the players? One of our favorite, tell-all bloggers, FunkyBrownChick, today tackles a question that’s been circulating at least since high school, when sports factored into one's social status: Who’s hotter – football players or soccer players?

Choosing American "footballers" over their English counterparts means neglecting David Beckham for the likes of Patriots’ QB Tom Brady. … Read More

Not to sound like a stereotypical female, but I’m not so into football. I admire and commend any women who love the sport, and I truly believe anyone can be a fan. Funny, though, how media outlets attempt to make SBS relevant to the female population:

The New York Post appeals to anyone who does not observe Super Bowl Sunday, outlining non-football-related outings in the city. The writer claims these events are gender-neutral, but most revolve around designer sales and discount spa services. Come on, now.

MSN goes the sex-symbol route with the “10 Sexiest … Read More
