Hot Clicks will have an in-depth look at the Super Bowl prop bets next week. (In addition to standards, such as the coin flip, you can also bet on whether
Beyonce will show cleavage during her first song: Yes -500/No +300). But for today,
here's a fun look back at the history of the prop bet.
Derek Jeter's
Tampa mansion has gotten a lot of ink, but
Tom Brady's
new L.A. palace has a moat.
In
Thursday's P.M. Hot Clicks, I told you about a Maryland jewelry story offering to refund customers up to $5,000 if the Ravens shut out the 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII. I also said that just once, I'd like to see that gimmick backfire. Several readers then sent in examples of business' getting burned by these wacky offers. For example...
1999:
Kansas City electronics store gets burned by the Chiefs.
2006:
Furniture store gets burned by Bears.
2007:
Boston furniture store gets burned by the Red Sox.
2011:
Flooring company gets burned by
Josh Hamilton.
2012:
Alabama jeweler get burned by the Iron Bowl.
The 1983 White Sox uniforms are one of my favorites of all time, so I was happy to see
the news that they'll be wearing them every Sunday this season.

If you're hosting a Super Bowl party, why don't you treat your guests to something special and serve
bacon bowls?
Awesome kid? Check. Journey song reference? Check.
Michael Jordan Space Jam reference? Check.
There was no Unnecessary Censorship last night because
Matt Damon kidnapped Kimmel and took over the show for the entire hour (and it was awesome). You can watch the the whole thing broken down into separate clips
here. Below is the intro.
