Papa John's To Supply 2,500 Pizzas to Naval Academy for Super Bowl Party

The Annapolis restaurants are preparing for the surge in business on Super Bowl Sunday as they will provide pizza, wings and more to midshipmen as well as local residents.

Super Bowl Sunday is always a busy day for pizza places, as many expect to sell thousands of pizzas and wings. But this year is extra special for Annapolis area Papa John's restaurants.

"The midshipmen have voted us as the preferred pizza for the Super Bowl this season."

'Ray Lewis' Makes SNL Appearance

Keenan Thompson, playing Baltimore Ravens linebacker "Ray Lewis," said he would be heading to a celestial place if the Ravens win the Super Bowl.

It wasn't really Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis appearing on Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update," but Keenan Thompson stood in effectively. Thompson played the effusive linebacker to perfection. He brought the energy, the emotion and of course, the face paint. Watch his exchange with SNL's Seth Meyers above. The best lines: Meyers: A lot of us saw you cry last week during the National Anthem. Thompson: It's just I've never heard that song before. Meyers: You've been playing football your whole life? Thompson: I know, but, I always wear ear plugs before games to block out the sound of my own screams. At the end of the exchange, 'Lewis' explains what's going to happen if the Ravens win the Super Bowl: Thompson: I was driving up Sixth Avenue…

John Harbaugh: 'Congratulations To Our Fans'

Despite playing in New England, fans came in big numbers to watch Ravens earn the franchise's second Super Bowl trip. The head coach and players noticed.

John Harbaugh smiled plenty throughout Monday's news conference. Considering his team is headed to the Super Bowl a week from Sunday, that's no surprise. But the Ravens coach really beamed when the conversation turned to Baltimore's fans.  Harbaugh and his team were both delighted at the large number of Baltimore fans that went up to New England and watched the Ravens beat the Patriots, 28-13, in last Sunday's AFC title game.  "We might have had one-eighth of the crowd, which is really a high number for a visiting AFC Championship game. That speaks so much about our fans," Harbaugh said when talking to the media Monday in Owings Mills. "For all of those people to make that trip up there at this time of year to support their Ravens is just—…

I am a PSL owner. The regular fan is the 80% (my guess) of regular Joe's that go to games and pay for that $8 beer. That pay for the replica jerseys and all of the other stuff they buy. That watch TV where the "real" revenue is earned by the NFL and they are treated like common every day trash forced to buy tickets with a $650 face value for over $2,000 so that brokers, hotels, and airlines (yes …   more ›

Super Bowl Sunday is right around the corner. Here are some quick tips for party meals, and places to go should you decide to celebrate Game Day in the community.

One of the most festive times of year aside from Christmas, New Years, and Thanksgiving is none other than Super Bowl Sunday.  For many die-hard football fans, Super Bowl Sunday is just as important (if not more) than Christmas itself.  However the stage is set and it must be perfect: after all, to many, it is one of the most wonderful times of year! Many people opt to have top shelf beers, finger foods, snacks and of course soft drinks on deck for their fellow Super Bowl party goers.  But others choose to go out to the local bar or pub to enjoy the Super Bowl in style.  Here are a few places where you can go and watch the Super Bowl in Pasadena and tips on the top foods to have on deck if you are organizing your own Super Bowl party.
