A –Anderson, Pam. While Super Bowl tickets are selling in secondary markets for 20 times the face value, you can party with what is left of Pam Anderson before the big game for half price thanks to Groupon, an online discount bargain site. On the Dallas Groupon site you can purchase a $500 VIP ticket to Pamela Anderson’s SuperBash 2011 in Dallas for $250. The ticket gets you open bar all night to a celebrity-attended event hosted by Anderson. By midnight on Monday 98 VIP tickets were purchased. .

B – Blue Gatorade. Arguably the best tasting Gatorade is Blue Gatorade. So it makes sense that it would have the worst odds for being the Gatorade dumped on the winning coach during the Super Bowl. Why would you dump Blue Gatorade on Mike McCarthy or Mike Tomlin when you can drink it? Blue Gatorade has 10/1 odds to be the beverage dumped on the winning Super Bowl coach, according to Bodog. The favorites are Yellow (3/2), Clear/Water (2/1) and Orange (3/1). And this isn’t even one of the more weird Super Bowl bets out there.

C – Commercials. This year a 30-second commercial during the Super Bowl will run you between $2.8 and $3 million. The $3 million rate is tied for the record with the 2009 Super Bowl. Both of those rates are up quite a bit from the first Super Bowl, when a 30-second ad would only run you $42,000. Nowadays $42,000 can get you two premium club seats to the game on StubHub.

D – Defensive Player of the Year. On Monday night Troy Polamalu was named the AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year. The Steelers safety received 17 votes to finish ahead of Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews, who had 15 votes. Looks like Polamalu won by a hair. He was clearly Head & Shoulders above the competition.

E – Eighty-three thousand dollars. The amount of money being forked over to all the players on the Super Bowl teams remains the same this year. Just like last season, all the players from the losing team will receive $42,000 while players from the winning team will receive $83,000.

F – Fergie. Last year you could wager on how many times Pete Townshend of The Who would perform his signature windmill maneuver during the halftime show. He performed about 2,341 windmills, easily sending bettors of the ‘over’ home happy. This year you can bet on what Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas will wear, or better yet, will not wear. The favorites are skirt/dress and pants which are both at ‘even’. The odds of Fergie wearing shorts are +350 and the odds of Fergie dropping trou and showing up in a thong/g-string/bikini bottom is +1000.

G – Glee. If you thought “Undercover Boss” was a terrible show to follow up the Super Bowl last season on CBS, this year your Super Bowl hangover will be quadrupled by a showing of “Glee” on Fox immediately after the game. This might be the worst Super Bowl lead-out programming since “Malcolm in the Middle” inexplicably followed Super Bowl XXVI.

H – Halftime. In a major departure from the past six Super Bowls, the Black Eyed Peas will perform at this year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show. The average age of the four members of the Blacked Eyed Peas is 35. Compare that with the past six performers, Paul McCartney (68 years old), Mick Jagger (67) of the Rolling Stones, Prince (52), Tom Petty (60), Bruce Springsteen (61) and Roger Daltrey (61) of The Who.

I – Indianapolis. The Colts and Saints should consider themselves lucky for making it to the Super Bowl when they did. Last year both teams and their fans got to spend a week in South Beach. This year’s venue, Fort Worth, North Texas, Arlington or Dallas (whatever you want to refer to it as), leaves a little to be desired. Next year it does not get much better as Indianapolis plays host to Super Bowl XLVI. And then there is the almighty bummer for fans in 2014 when East Rutherford, New Jersey plays host to the Ice, I mean Super Bowl.

J – Jerry Jones. Its Jerry’s World, the Steelers and Packers are just playing in it. With Cowboy loving Joe Buck and Troy Aikman calling the game you can expect to see Dallas owner Jerry Jones’ Botox injected face at least a few times. Bodog has set the “over/under” for Jones appearances during the game at 2.5, while Sportsbook.com has it at three.

K – Kuhn, John. Only three Green Bay players have been to a Super Bowl before. And only one has won a Super Bowl. To add insult to injury the lone Packer with a Super Bowl ring is fullback John Kuhn. He won his ring as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad in 2006. To add even more insult to injury, the Pittsburgh Steelers enter Sunday’s game with a collective 54 Super Bowl rings amongst them.

L – Lambeau Leap. At first glance there looks to be one Super Bowl prop that is a mortal lock. A prop on a number of online sportsbook asks if you think there will be a Lambeau Leap performed during Super Bowl XLV. Well, considering that the game is being played at Cowboys Stadium, not Lambeau Field, you would think a leap would only be possible if a crackhead/cheesehead Green Bay fan broke into the frozen tundra and jumped into a sea of empty bleachers. Well, closer examination reveals that what a Lambeau Leap constitutes is a player jumping into the stands at the Super Bowl. The “Yes” wager pays out +150 while the “No” has odds of –200.

M – Michigan State Jerseys. Five years ago when the Steelers were on their way to Detroit for Super Bowl XL, most of the players donned No. 6 Notre Dame jerseys in honor of Jerome Bettis. This time around fellow offensive linemen wore No. 76 Michigan State jerseys in a show of support for veteran right tackle Flozell Adams. After 12 years of disappointment with the Cowboys, Adams is finally at the Super Bowl, in Cowboys Stadium of all places.

N – New England Patriots. We have not even kicked off Super Bowl XLV and already Sportsbook.com has odds out for the Super Bowl XLVI champion. The New England Patriots are the favorite next season at +500 just ahead of the Packers (+600) and the Steelers (+800). Despite making the playoffs this year the Seattle Seahawks are quite the longshot at +10,000, but they are nowhere near as bad as the Buffalo Bills (+20,000) or the Carolina Panthers (+30,000).

O – Offensive. Apparently the Packers have something up their sleeve in terms of using nose tackle B.J. Raji on offense. There is a Super Bowl prop out asking if Raji will be on the field for at least one offensive play during the Super Bowl. The “Yes” is favored at –180 while the “No” can be had at +140.

P – Pittsburgh Trifecta. There is a chance to wager on a rare Pittsburgh sports trifecta. And by rare we mean the Pirates actually winning a game. The odds of the Penguins beating the Capitals on Sunday afternoon and the Steelers winning the Super Bowl later that day and the Pirates winning on opening day in two months, are +1000. That does not seem like a generous line considering the Pirates odds alone of winning are probably close to +1000.

Q – Quarterback Treatment. The 100-foot, 20-story likeness of Aaron Rodgers is pasted across the side of a hotel in the Dallas Metroplex. There is no such poster of Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, and it is hard to imagine that NFL commissioner did have something to do with that decision.

R – Record Attendance. More people are expected to witness this year’s Super Bowl in person* than the current population of Green Bay, Wisconsin. The NFL is anticipating an attendance of 105,000 at Super Bowl XLV in Cowboys Stadium. The population of Green Bay, the home of the Packers, is 104,000. Of course, the record must come with an asterisk. For whatever reason, people are actually paying $200 a ticket to watch the game from outside the stadium on a big-screen TV. I’m not sure why you would pay that much to watch a game on a TV, and I’m not sure why they are counted as part of the attendance.

S – Strippers. One Dallas-area strip club owner claims that an additional 10,000 strippers are needed for Super Bowl week in Dallas. Just imagine if Pacman Jones’ team made the Super Bowl. The stripper shortage was only compounded by the fact that neither Green Bay or Pittsburgh has cheerleaders. But there is hope. According to at least one Dallas area Strip Club owner, there is no need to hit the panic button. Reports of a shortage of up to 10,000 strippers had some Super Bowl fans panicking and second thinking their trip. But Mike Precker, manager of the Dallas strip club the Lodge, denies the city cannot handle the demand from strippers from out of town football fans. Precker went as far as implementing a hiring freeze leading up to Super Bowl week to avoid gold digging strippers looking to take the money and run during Super Bowl week.

T- Tickets. Not that buying tickets at face value is an option for 99.9 percent of football fans, but even if you were able to this season the Super Bowl tickets come in at a record price between $600-$1200. Just 10 years ago face value for Super Bowl tickets in the Georgia Dome was $325. The first 21 Super Bowls featured face value ticket prices below $100. And, of course, there was the bargain basement price of $6 to catch the first Super Bowl at Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles. Better yet, there was no such thing as Twitter back then.

U – USA Today. The USA Today Ad-Meter that runs the day after the Super Bowl has become more legitimate by the year. You can even bet on which company’s commercial will have the highest rating on the Ad-Meter. The favorites are Bud Light (+275), Budweiser (+275), Doritos (+550) and Pepsi Max (+600). Look out for the dark horse, Teleflora at +1500.

V – Virgin Airlines. If for some reason you are stuck on an airplane during the big game, just hope it is not with Virgin Airlines. Unlike just about every other airline that offers some kind of satellite TV or Wi-Fi, Virgin Airlines only offers DISH Network and for some inexplicable reason, DISH Network does not offer Fox on its flights.

W – Wall Street. You can count at least one pocket of New York City that was pulling for the Steelers to hold on against the New York Jets in the AFC Championship Game last week. A Steelers Super Bowl appearance has historically meant a great year for the Dow Jones. In Pittsburgh’s last seven Super Bowl years, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen an average of 19.5 percent. Compare that with the Jets only Super Bowl appearance when the Dow Jones suffered a double-digit loss.

X – Xtina. The most exciting two minutes in “sports” for most degenerate gamblers is the singing of the Super Bowl “National Anthem”. This year Christina Aguilera, formerly known as Xtina, will be performing the anthem and Bodog has set an “over/under” of 1 minute 52 seconds. The prop seems destined to go “over” considering the “over/under” for how long she will hold the note “Brave” at the end of the anthem is six seconds. Oddsmakers need to get their act together and offer this prop for every single sporting event ever contested from now on.

Y – Youmans, Matt. According to Matt Youmans of the Las Vegas Review Journal, there has already been a $1 million wager placed on the Green Bay Packers at the MGM Sportsbook. Most bookmakers are confirming more bets on the Steelers overall, but larger bets on Green Bay including a number of six-figure wagers. The line remains Green Bay -2.5 at most sportsbooks on the Las Vegas strip, including MGM. The fact that the line remains at Green Bay -2.5 even after the seven-figure bet, indicates what many people on the strip already know, big money is coming on Pittsburgh as the game approaches.

Z – Zoo Animals. With Germany’s World Cup predictor extraordinaire Paul the Octopus deceased, we here in the United States have turned to zoo animals to help us predict who will win Super Bowl XLV. So far the animal kingdom is leaning towards Green Bay. Jenny the Elephant at the Dallas Zoo used her 10,250-pound frame to crush a Steelers watermelon, seemingly to indicate her prediction of a Green Bay win or perhaps general distaste for Pittsburgh mascot Steely McBeam. At nearby Fort Worth Zoo a Coati predicted the Packers as did an orangutan at a South Carolina Zoo. The Steelers did get some animal love when Alex the orangutan of the Fresno Chaffee Zoo chose Pittsburgh by selecting a box in his cage containing a Steelers blanket. I suspect this is the same method Keyshawn Johnson uses to make his picks on ESPN.
