The Super Bowl has provided some thrilling and unforgettable sports moments. There are historic plays that fans still talk about today like in Super Bowl Xxxiv where St Louis Rams Mike Jones stopped Tennessee Titan's Kevin Dyson just one yard short of a touchdown on the very last play. But then we also end up with blow outs and a dullfest like the Super Bowl Xlviii. At least no matter what happens on the field, we have the commercials. In honor of the most reliable entertainment at the Super Bowl, here are awards to the best Super Bowl commercials of all-time.

On Thursday, April 11, USA Network premieres "The Moment," a reality series that gives people a second chance at realizing their dreams.
The host is former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner, who knows something about second chances. After the NFL didn't draft him in 1994, Warner got to try out for the Green Bay Packers that same year but was released before the beginning of the regular season.
Told he wasn't ready to throw the ball in the NFL, Warner moved in with his in-laws and got a night job stocking shelves at a grocery store in Cedar Falls, Iowa, for $5.50 an hour.
He later went to work for his alma mater, the University of Northern Iowa, as an assistant coach. When no NFL team wanted him, Warner then found success in the Arena Football League, which led to a tryout invitation from the Chicago Bears that he ultimately couldn't attend.

Former Super Bowl Mvp and current NFL Network analyst Kurt Warner hosts The Moment, USA Network’s first unscripted series, giving people a second chance to live out their dreams. Kurt Warner starred in one of sports’ greatest rags-to-riches stories. After failing to make an NFL roster in 1994, Warner was stocking shelves at an Iowa grocery store. Undeterred, he played his way up through the Arena Football League and NFL Europe, eventually becoming the St. Louis Rams’ starting quarterback in 1999. A few months later, he was named Mvp of Super Bowl Xxxiv. It’s Super Bowl Xlvii week when I [...]...

In the spring, former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner appears on USA Network as host of "The Moment," a reality series in which people who had to let go of a cherished ambition get a second chance at achieving their dreams.
Second chances are something Warner knows about. After remaining undrafted in 1994, he got to try out for the Green Bay Packers' training camp that same year, but was released before the beginning of the regular season. Told he wasn't ready to throw the ball in the NFL, Warner moved in with his in-laws and got a night job stocking shelves at a grocery store in Cedar Falls, Iowa, for $5.50 an hour.
He later went to work for his alma mater, the University of Northern Iowa, as an assistant coach. When no NFL team wanted him, Warner then found success in the Arena Football League, which lead to a failed tryout invitation from the Chicago Bears.

I’m not excited whatsoever for Madonna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show. Not because I dislike Madonna or think that she’ll do a bad job; on the contrary, I’m sure she’ll play the hits and bring out A-list special guests galore and make a giant entertaining spectacle and it’ll all be completely polished and well-done. The only problem is, there’s nothing memorable or transcendent about ‘good’ Super Bowl Halftime Shows. Prince and Bruce Springsteen each did about as well as a Super Bowl performer could possibly aim for, and both performances still boiled down to just 12 pretty good minutes from musicians whose fans have assuredly seen them do far better 2-3 hour concerts on other occasions. The biggest standout moment was still Springsteen sliding into the camera. The only time we remember a Super Bowl Halftime Show is when it is memorably bad. That is to say,...

With the Fourth of July here, why not celebrate with the stars that pay their homages to our great nation? These singers definitely do our country proud with these unbelievable belches. Country singers, Seal, American Idols and the geeks from Glee? You don't get any more American than this! 1. Carrie Underwood's voice has taken her up and beyond her 2005 American Idol win. God bless America! 2. The beautiful Faith Hill gives one show stopping performance at the Super Bowl Xxxiv in 2000. 3. What do Kelly Clarkson, Seal and composer David Foster all have in common? Apparently one of the most beautiful...

This weekend is going to be a massive one for the worlds of music, television and sports. The Super Bowl is finally here, and the fact that the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers will be squaring off against one another to determine who is this year's NFL champion is only about the fifth-most important thing happening over the next few days. In addition to the game, there will be the headline-grabbing advertisements (including a number of movie trailer premieres and appearances by both Justin Bieber and Eminem), the new episode of "Glee" that will follow the big game (which features the much-talked-about "Thriller" sequence), the national anthem care of Christina Aguilera (which bodes well for the Steelers) and the fact that this could be the most-watched American television broadcast in history (besting last year's Super Bowl, which drew 106.5 million viewers).

Possible impending hot-mess Christina Aguilera has been scheduled to perform the national anthem at Superbowl Xlv. "I have been performing the Anthem since I was seven years old and I must say the Super Bowl is a dream come true," the songstress says. "I am really excited to be part of such an iconic event." Aguilera previously performed during halftime at Super Bowl Xxxiv in 2000. Downgrade? [Access Hollywood]

There's performing in front of a crowd, and then there's belting out a tune with more than 153 million people watching. Good thing Christina Aguilera knows how it feels to do both. The five-time Grammy winner has been tapped to perform the National Anthem at the Super Bowl, on Feb. 6 at Cowboys Stadium. Sure, she's done the halftime show before—back in 2000, during Super Bowl Xxxiv in Atlanta—but the newly single Aguilera says the upcoming gig in Texas is different: Aguilera, who joins the Black Eyed Peas at the Super Bowl (they're performing at halftime), says that belting "The Star-Spangled Banner" is a big deal for her. "I have been performing the Anthem...

The latest season of "Dancing With the Stars" features perhaps the most truly star-studded cast in the history of the program, including two homegrown MTV stars: "The Hills" breakout Audrina Patridge and "Jersey Shore" centerpiece Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino. It's the latter the MTV Newsroom Blog is most excited about, so while you can check out full recaps and analysis over at the main MTV News page, this space will be dedicated to tracking the advancement of New Jersey's favorite new philosopher.
After a somewhat disastrous first night on the new season of "Dancing With the Stars," Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino found himself with a mere 15 points (out of a possible 30) and tied for last place with comedian Margaret Cho and multimedia phenom David Hasselhoff. Despite his seemingly limitless supply of ironic popularity and charm, it was Hasselhoff who got the boot during the first elimination (proving that hipster types...

I have to admit from the start that the popularity of Dancing with the Stars completely eludes me. It was an interesting bit of fun the first time around, but mainly for its novelty value. There was a nice combination of showcasing famous people, and giving them something to do that was mildly entertaining without being embarrassing simply for the sake of being embarrassing.
The second and third seasons had a few moments of interest, even if the biggest tune-in sell was watching people who weren’t any good, rather than watching any “talent” take shape. Now, however, I just don’t get it anymore. Much like the Circus of the Stars of days gone by, the novelty is over, “Stars” is becoming more and more loosely defined, and we are thus at a point where we have to come clean and admit we’re watching ballroom dancing. And, much...
