Great Moments in Super Bowl History: January 31, 2009

 
We don’t remember who won the game, or who won the MVP award. Frankly, we don’t even know who played.

That’s not to say, though, that we didn’t enjoy the game, or that we didn’t find certain highlights worthy of instant replay:

Bad Lip Reading: NFL

We don’t take any credit for this, but we wish we could. It’s best to watch this at full-screen size if you have the option.
