5:31 – Danny can’t believe the weather report today. It’s going to be cold with a high of FREEZING. Danny had a good time at his Super Bowl party last night. It was his first time having a vested interest in the game, but had trouble keeping track because of all the hot chicks dancing around. Danny and Metro were out at McFadden’s for the game, and Danny found it bizarre that they were having a Beer Tub Girl contest. The contest had girls ranging from the girl next door to dirty girls. Metro realized that he’s actually growing up, because he was distraught over hot girls interrupting the Super Bowl and left mid-way through the game. Danny had to call up the girls, but lots of them had similar sounding names which confused him. Danny almost didn’t come to work this morning because the boss kept buying him drinks last night and he destroyed his alarm clock when it went off. Danny didn’t pay real attention to the Super Bowl until he got home from McFadden’s. The high point for Danny in the game came when Peyton Manning threw an interception that got returned for a touchdown. Such showmanship! Danny won his $100 Bet with a listener regarding the Super Bowl. Danny’s in a moral conundrum. He doesn’t know whether or not to accept the listener’s money, but he’ll worry about that when the guy shows up. Danny saw at least three 9’s at McFadden’s last night, but knows that those girls will only be Tub Girls until they marry a rich guy. Metro says the tub girls make a ton of money during the summer when the Phillies are playing at Citizen’s Bank Park. Danny didn’t see many of the commercials during the Super Bowl. Metro’s favorite commercial was the Snicker’s commercial when Betty White got tackled. Sarah liked the Snicker’s commercial where Abe Vigoda got tackled. Danny thought both of them were dead! Danny is upset that people in Los Angeles are upset over four houses being destroyed from mud slides. They’re bitching about that, when there’s a high temperature of 62 degrees while we’re dealing with a high of FREEZING.
6:00 – NEWS:
A massive winter storm, dubbed "Snowmageddon" by President Barack Obama, has finally made its way out of the Delaware Valley, leaving nearly 30 inches of snow in its wake. Moving in late Friday evening, the heavy snow blanketed the entire region for almost 24-hours straight, letting up at about 7 p.m. Saturday. The storm is officially the biggest February snowfall on record for Philadelphia, and the second biggest snowstorm for the city, totals measuring 28.5 inches at Philadelphia International Airport. PennDOT mobilized 420 trucks to salt and plow roadways throughout the Philadelphia-region and trucks have been applying a salt brine solution to major highways, but officials fear that won't be enough to prevent icing that can occur from the dip in temperatures. SEPTA suspended all service during the storm and began rolling out test buses on regular routes every hour starting at 5 a.m. Sunday morning. Officials say that regional rails and city subways are expected to be up and running on a regular Sunday schedule, though riders should expect delays. SEPTA Detour Though trucks were out plowing overnight, travel along major roadways and side streets in many situations has been greatly reduced by packed snow and ice. While digging out becomes to task at hand, it may be all for nothing as another storm is forecasted to blanket the Delaware Valley with more snow in the coming week. Danny can’t understand SNOWMAGEDDON. It makes no sense. It has to go with Armageddon. Peyton Manning throwing that last interception was an ARMAGEDDON. Snowmageddon has to go!
All School District of Philadelphia schools will be closed today, due to this weekend's record snowfall in Philadelphia. All after-school activities and yellow school bus service are also canceled, as are parochial schools. Administrative and regional offices will open two hours late. The Archdiocese of Philadelphia Schools will also be closed on Monday.
A couple in New jersey were impacted by the storm, their OB/gyn was unable to get his car out of his home, leaving the couple to fend for themselves when it came to delivering the baby. The doctor, Edward Sung, couldn't get his car out - his Linwood home had no power, making his electric garage door opener inoperable. But when Sung eventually suggested the couple use another doctor, Tanya Elwood quickly rejected the idea. "I didn't want someone who was on call, even if they're very good," So her husband decided to get the doctor himself. So the Northfield man left the hospital around 4:30 a.m. Saturday and drove to Sung's home, about 20 minutes away. But as Elwood backed his pickup out of the doctor's driveway, it got stuck in the snow. So both men grabbed shovels and dug it out, finally getting to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center's Mainland Campus in Galloway Township shortly before 10 a.m. Bryce Anthony Elwood - who was born four weeks early - then arrived at 11:26 a.m. And both mom and child were doing well Sunday.
The Who rolled out a medley of stadium anthems for it halftime show last night at the Super Bowl. It kicked off with "Pinball Wizard," followed by "Baba O'Riey," "Who Are You," "See Me, Feel Me" and "Won't Get Fooled Again." Unlike last year, when Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band mimed to pre-recorded backing tracks, The Who were performing live. Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey were, backed up by bassist Pino Palladino, Pete's brother Simon on rhythm guitar and backing vocals, John "Rabbit" Bundrick on keyboards, and yes, that was Ringo Starr's son, Zak Starkey, on drums. The evening began with Queen Latifah singing "America The Beautiful" and Carrie Underwood doing the national anthem.
No, your eyes were not deceiving you last night, that was arch enemies David Letterman and Jay Leno sitting on a couch with Oprah Winfrey during a Super Bowl commercial. The ad featured a cranky Letterman complaining, "This is the worst Super Bowl Party ever," with Oprah telling him, "now Dave be nice." Leno then chimed in that Dave was only complaining "because I'm here." According to Late Show producer Rob Burnett, the 15 second spot was Dave's idea, and was shot in complete secrecy Tuesday at his studio in New York. Leno actually arrived at the Ed Sullivan theater in disguise, wearing a hooded sweatshirt and a mustache. "It was quick, it was easy," said Burnett. "The attitude was professional and cordial. Dave and Jay were fine with each other." Why exactly Jay thought it would be a good idea to do a commercial for a competing show is still a big question.

Down 10-0 after the first quarter, Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees led his team to a 31-17 win over Peyton Manning and the Colts. Brees went 32 for 39 passes and 288 yards. And IT WAS Tracy Porter's 74-yard interception return in the 4th quarter sealed the deal. Brees and the Saints rallied to upset Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts in one of pro football's most thrilling title games. A surprise onside kick sparked the Saints' second-half comeback. The championship came 4 1/2 years after Katrina ravaged New Orleans, making the Saints nomads for the 2005 season. There even was some doubt they would return, but the NFL refused to abandon the city. The Superdome was repaired and the Saints won the NFC South in '06, their first season with Brees and Payton. That was the season Manning won his only Super Bowl. He got the Colts off a quick start and had them in front for much of this one, but New Orleans' league-leading offense, which scored 510 points this season, outscored Indy 31-7 after falling behind 10-0. That matched the biggest comeback in a Super Bowl.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed that Browns wide receiver Donte Stallworth would be reinstated following last night's Super Bowl. Stallworth was suspended after pleading guilty to DUI manslaughter last year after hitting and killing a pedestrian - Mario Reyes - on March 14th. Stallworth spent 24 days in jail and reached an undisclosed financial settlement with Reyes' family. Goodell met with Stallworth in January and says that he believes the receiver recognizes the gravity of what happened and is "prepared ... to get back in and play. Meanwhile, the Browns are still expected to release Stallworth after he is reinstated.
Warren Sapp is out of jail on $1,500 bond after being arrested on Saturday. Police brought him in on one charge of domestic battery after he allegedly choked a woman in his Miami hotel room. The woman, who says she's been dating Sapp for two years, told police that they'd been paryting with a group of friends when she left to lay down. Sapp reportedly came to the room hours later and began fighting with her over men's names in her cell phone. She says Sapp was trying to throw her out of the room when he choked her, threw her on a couch, and then picked her up by her shirt and neck only to throw her down again and injure her leg. An affidavit says she was taken to the hospital with a swollen knee and bruises on her neck. Sapp maintains that he'd asked the woman to leave because he was expecting company and that she fell when he tried to help her get off a couch. Sapp's attorney says his client plans to fully cooperate with authorities.
7:01 – The Philadelphia Wings Dance Team are in the studio to promote the release of their new calendar. The theme of the calendar is construction. Danny sees the idea, but can’t get over that’s it’s just a hot chick in a bikini holding a wrench. In celebration of the weather, we’re sending the Wings Angels Dance Team out with Gibbons to hand out some coffee and breakfast courtesy of our good friends at 7-11.
7:08 – Of all the Super Bowl commercials that Danny saw, his favorites had to be Snickers ads where Betty White and Abe Vigoda got tackled. Metro agreed that played some audio from said commercials. Danny can’t understand how the news this morning was all about the commercials instead of the actual outcome of the game. Danny heard that the commercials for Doritos were great. Sarah didn’t find them very amusing. Metro was a fan of one of them. Lori calls in and says she wasn’t a fan of the Doritos commercials because she felt like the kid was telling the guy who was trying to date his mom not to hit her. Mike calls in and says he loved the commercial. It reminded him of the foul-mouthed little kid in the movie “Role Models”. Leading up to the Super Bowl, there was a ton of hype surrounding what many thought would be an anti-abortion ad starring Tim Tebow. The commercial was very tame, given what everyone thought it would contain and was actually pretty funny in Danny’s eyes.

Walter’s sister does heroin and on one occasion took his kids out to buy heroin with her. He decided to drive down to Jersey and confront her. His sister was out of control, which ended with him punching his sister in the mouth. Subsequently, a warrant was put out for his arrest. Danny informs him that someone should have taken pictures to prove that she didn’t lose teeth as he may serve up to 5 years in prison. Walter freaks out, but Danny responds saying that he doesn’t expect the judge to punish him. As long as his sister admits in front of the judge that his decision to punch her was justified by her inappropriate behavior, he will be fine.

8:08 – Danny asks the question, “Are all men emasculating?” Danny brings up how Amy thinks he has chores just because he does tasks here and there. She also blocks the door with a bunch of trash bags which frustrates him in the morning, because he ends up throwing the trash out himself. Danny believes letting the woman in the relationship wear the pants is a smart move, as you just leave it to them to decide things. Danny then plays the “girlfriend took his spine” TV commercial from last night. Thinking back Danny does not recall anyone ever “making” him do anything, besides the time he was asked to remove his cocaine residue from the table in his 80’s radio show days.
Jim calls in rubbing in that him and his girlfriend have the perfect balance. Danny then fires back saying he hates the term “perfect balance.”
Victor calls in saying that his wife doesn’t wear pants and that it’s a two way street. Danny thinks it’s a valid answer and respects his perspective on the topic.
Amy, Danny’s fiancé, calls in admitting she wears the pants in the relationship. Amy’s fed up with Danny’s rude behavior and tells him he is going to be in trouble when he gets home, but Danny responds with, “My ass!” He then has her bring up how she set up a porno flick for him to watch during Super Bowl and that he is the king. They then debate over whose idea it was to watch the flick, while Danny rubs in that he is indeed the king.

A massive winter storm, dubbed "Snowmageddon" by President Barack Obama, has finally made its way out of the Delaware Valley, leaving nearly 30 inches of snow in its wake. Moving in late Friday evening, the heavy snow blanketed the entire region for almost 24-hours straight, letting up at about 7 p.m. Saturday. The storm is officially the biggest February snowfall on record for Philadelphia, and the second biggest snowstorm for the city, totals measuring 28.5 inches at Philadelphia International Airport. Obama is too cool for SNOWMAGEDDON. Danny doesn’t have to come up with cool news, simply because he is not the most powerful man in the world!
Another major winter storm will affect the area this week. Winter storm watches are already issued for areas just west of the Philadelphia area for Tuesday night and all of Wednesday. This will be a different storm and one more like a typical winter storm. Light snow will develop late Tuesday and become heavy Wednesday. There could be an initial mix of rain and snow south and east of the Philadelphia area. As the storm strengthens however, it will pull in colder air and everywhere will be seeing snow. The peak of the storm will be Wednesday morning and continue into the afternoon. Snow will be heavy and the wind will begin to gust. Right now it looks like the much of the area could see a major winter storm. Amounts will not be as high as the past storm but significant enough to impact travel much of the day Wednesday.
The massive winter storm that blanketed the region is being blamed for two deaths in New Castle County. Family members discovered a 60-year-old man half-buried in the snow near Brown and Stroud Streets in Wilmington just before 9 a.m. The victim apparently suffered from dementia and had wandered from his home overnight. He was rushed to Wilmington Hospital where he was pronounced dead at about 1:15 p.m. State Police said a 49-year-old man was found buried in the snow on Old Baltimore Pike at about 3 a.m. Saturday. A resident was apparently shoveling snow when he came across a boot in the snow. Upon further investigation, the victim was found underneath the snow in a security uniform. Authorities believe the victim had left work early and collapsed due to a medical condition. The exact cause of death is under investigation.
