Bruce Springsteen's Super Bowl halftime performance, as I noted last night, was fairly uninspiring. But at least, since the rest of the country couldn't see any crotch shots in the middle of the game, Bruce obliged on that count, doing his classic slide across stage. As you'll see in the video below, it resulted in a much-talked-about close-up.

Falcons quarterback -- and 2008 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year -- Matt Ryan is in Tampa for Super Bowl Week, and he took time out from hawking Axe Hair products to talk to FanHouse about preparing for the draft, his breakout rookie season, as well as some thoughts on the Cardinals and the Steelers.

Ryan Wilson: Hey, Matt, thanks for taking time out to talk. First of all, congratulations on Rookie of the Year.

Matt Ryan: I appreciate that, thank you.

RW: Let's just go through a few things here because I know you're busy down there in Tampa, because I guess Axe Hair doesn't sell itself.
