Minutes after the Giants won the World Series last October, groups of vandals took to the streets of San Francisco and started setting fires, smashing store windows, flipping taxis, burning buses, and acting like crazy idiot douchebags all night. They caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage, and several arrests were made.
The Super Bowl is one of the highest visibility events in the world for marketers. So it’s no surprise to find athletes from all sports making the rounds throughout the week. Andy Roddick, the 2003 U.S. Open tennis champion who retired last year after his final appearance at Flushing Meadows, stopped by to chat on behalf of SAP, the Official Cloud Software Solutions, Business Software and Business Analytics Software Sponsor of the NFL.

The New York Post is reporting that former Miami Dolphins quarterback and CBS NFL analyst Dan Marino fathered a child with a former CBS Sports production assistant and then paid her millions to keep it quiet.
January 31, 2013 Houston Texans star defensive end J.J. Watt spent all season sacking quarterbacks and swattin' down passes. Watt made the Pro Bowl and is even the frontrunner for Defensive Player of the Year in NFL. But, none of that comes close to touching what he did off-field for a 6-year-old fan by making her his pretend wife for a day.
The Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers will meet in Super Bowl XLVII at the Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday to decide which team gets to hoist the Lombardi Trophy as the champions of the National Football League.
