Stephen's Superb Owl coverage continued last Thursday night with a lot of people talking about a lot of football issues. Stephen covered medicinal products for injured football players. He discussed sports injuries with guests Steve Fainaru and Mark Fainaru-Wada and talked about their book "League of Denial: The NFL, Concussions and the Battle for Truth."

Also on as guests were the Mayors of the two "Big Game" cities - Mayor Ed Murray of Seattle and Mayor Michael Hancock of Denver. They had the typical little friendly wager that happens this time every year. A steak from Denver vs some salmon from Seattle. What a mistake. That's gambling and is illegal in New York and Stephen had them arrested. They should have seen that coming since Stephen was wearing a wire.

Then the real guest was Drew Brees, quarterback for New Orleans. Of course they talked a lot about football and the upcoming Big Game.

All week long Stephen talked about football and Big Game. Thursday was all football. Now as I write this, the Big Game is over. We know who won. We know which commercials were the best. I am sure Stephen had a favorite commercial and I am sure he will talk about that commercial tonight. If you can't wait until tonight's show to find out his favorite commercial spot, you can head over to Colbert Nation and I think you will discover his favorite.
