The Best Super Bowl of All Time
A list of the best Super Bowls of all time. Since the first Super Bowl in 1967, the game has become one of the biggest events in America. The Super Bowl is the most watched television program of the year and is the pinnacle of the NFL season. Initially it didn't garner as much attention, but beginning with the New York Jets' shocking victory over the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III, the games became instant classics. Granted, during those early years, the matchups weren't as star-studded and memorable as they have become.

Not every Super Bowl has been a great game. There have been a run of games where the Super Bowl was uninteresting, but as parity has reigned supreme in the NFL, the games have gotten progressively better. Instant classics, like Super Bowl XLII and XLIII featured some of the greatest endings in football history. Who could forget Eli Manning escaping from New England's ferocious pass rush to hurl the ball 30 yards downfield to David Tyree who made the greatest catch of all time. Ben Roethlisberger's throw and Santonio Holmes's catch defeated upstart Arizona, another fantastic finish.

The best football players of all time have played in the Super Bowl. If you look throughout history, Super Bowl champions have amazing players on their roster. But this list judges the greatest games in Super Bowl history. And there are plenty of great ones to choose from. Sometimes the most mundane games on paper turn out to be the best ones. You never know when you're going to be surprised, but that's why you watch the game. That's why the best matchups in Super Bowl history are different than the greatest games.

This is the list of the greatest Super Bowls of all time. Vote on the best game in Super Bowl history. There are plenty to choose from, so upvote the one you think is the best.

The Most Mismatched TV Couples

The Most Mismatched TV Couples
List of the most mismatched TV couples. These couples, whether they stayed together, are the ones that make viewers scratch their heads and say, “huh?” Included on this list of TV’s greatest odd couples are the ones that either make no sense or would probably never happen in real life.

 The reasons why a TV couple feels mismatched are numerous. Often, it’s a case of physical differences, which might be termed the ‘beauty and the beast’ couple. Other mismatched TV couples are made up of two people from different generations, financial backgrounds, or social standings. Sometimes it’s a combination, as in the case of Jay and Gloria from “Modern Family.” Of course, some mismatched TV romances aren’t comprised of partners different in looks or age, but in personality. For instance, he’s fiery tempered, she’s peaceful. Or, he is introspective, while she loves to socialize.

 No matter the type of mismatching, in the case of TV couples, mismatched doesn’t necessarily mean incompatible. Many mismatched TV couples stay together, with the partners’ idiosyncrasies and differences providing balance. Others stay together for a while, only to find that their differences are unresolvable. Sometimes these scenarios are heartbreaking; other times, viewers are glad that the couple broke up.

 Who do you think is the most mismatched couple in TV history? This list contains the oddest couples on TV, from dramas to sitcoms to animated shows. Whether you love these TV couples or hate them, you can’t deny they’re the ones that have made history as TV’s most ill-matched couples.

Celebrity Babies 2014
This list includes celebrity babies born in 2014. With so many high profile famous people expecting, 2014 promises to be a busy year for celeb birth announcements. Sometimes, the birth announcements come within minutes of delivery, thanks in part to celebrities using Twitter to share their happy news with the world. Other times, we'll all be waiting for the big news a bit longer. But as the year progresses, expect plenty of entries on this list.

As for the specifics, some of the major celebrities who are due in 2014 include Megan Fox (who just had a son, Noah, with hubby Brian Austin Green in September 2012), Emily Blunt, who was expecting her first baby with husband John Kasinski, actress Teresa Palmer and actress Drew Barrymore. And yes, Simon Cowell was set to become a first-time father in February 2014, when girlfriend Lauren Silverman was set to have their baby son.

And of course, many of the celebs will opt to give their kids some pretty interesting names. In fact, it is entirely possible that some of these celebs will wind up on this list of the most ridiculous celebrity baby names of all time (be sure to vote on those, they're insane). If you'd like to look back a bit, check out this list of 2013's celebrity babies!

5 Essential Items for Your Boat

5 Essential Items for Your Boat

Hitting the open seas may sound like an adventure without abandon, but there are at least a few things you need to preplan before you sail into the sunset. Having the right gear on your boat will make your trip safer, easier, and more fun for everyone. As you get your boat ready to sail, make sure you have these essentials on board:


http://www.ranker.com/list/5-essential-items-for-your-boat-v1/anchorexpress,

Food and Water

Pack an emergency food and water kit on your regular boating excursions. Keep plenty of water bottles (more than you would need on a normal trip) and non-perishable food items, like granola bars, trail mix, or cereal, inside the kit. If you find yourself stranded for any amount of time, the food and water will sustain you and your passengers until help arrives.


Life Jackets

If it has been awhile since you dusted off the life jackets in your attic, it might be time to upgrade. Inspect inflatable life vests at least once per year to make sure the material isn’t damaged and that the various pins and parts that make it work are in place and functioning properly. Remember that you will need child-sized life jackets for your kids. 


First Aid Kit

The first aid kit on a boat should be a little more extensive than what you would have in your home because professional medical help is farther away, so you may need to handle emergencies on the water on your own. Allow at least 30 minutes for emergency personnel, like the Coast Guard, to reach you.


GPS Tracking

Make sure you always know where you are and where you are heading with a GPS device designed for boats. You can purchase small, handheld versions or larger touchscreen models. Base your buying decision on how far and how often you plan to travel. A more expensive GPS device will provide you with more precise readings and last longer, too, potentially making it worth the added cost. 


Personal Locator Beacon

A personal locator beacon is designed to be worn by an individual, as opposed to being placed inside the vessel itself. PLBs are a great tool for rescuers if you are separated from your group. Although they must be manually activated, PLBs transmit a low-frequency signal that helps rescuers pinpoint your location within an area roughly the size of a football field. Get enough PLBs on board for everyone who riding and make sure you know how to properly use them. 



The Best New England Patriots of All Time

The Best New England Patriots of All Time
This is a list of the best New England Patriots of all time. Prior to 1993, the New England Patriots were one of the laughingstocks of the entire NFL. The team had a small degree of the success in the mid 1970s but outside of a lone Super Bowl appearance after the 1985 season, the Patriots were a franchise stuck in the proverbial mud. Those aforementioned teams had some solid players, but few if any were considered the best in team history. Enter Bill Parcells. After the Tuna left the team, the foundation for success was in place. Parcells acquired some of the greatest Patriots ever including Ty Law, Drew Bledsoe, Adam Vinatieri and Tedy Bruschi.

It wasn't until Bill Belichick took over at the beginning of the 2000 season that many of the best Patriots players in team history started playing for the team. Tom Brady isn't only considered one of the greatest players in Patriots history, but one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Randy Moss, Troy Brown, Wes Welker, Rodney Harrison and Richard Seymour are considered the top players in Patriots history and all played for the team under the Belichick era. The team nearly made history in 2007 when it won every single it played until a shocking Super Bowl defeat to the New York Giants ended the Patriots hopes of being the second undefeated team in NFL history. No matter what you think of the Patriots, this list contains many of the best players during the team's run of success.

This list of the best New England Patriots of all time includes every player from the team's history. If you notice someone missing, feel free to add him to this list. Vote or rerank the list according to who you think should be considered the best in Patriots history.

7 TV Actors Who Turned Out Just Like Their Characters

7 TV Actors Who Turned Out Just Like Their Characters
It's an ancient Zen koan as old as time itself: Which came first, the character or the actor? Sometimes, actors have trouble breaking character - or they simply take the "method" method a bit too far. When the line between fiction and reality blurs, it can be hard to tell where the part ends and the performer begins. There are a bunch of TV stars who turned into their characters, or is it the other way around?

Either way, either by a strange coincidence or amazing casting, you wonder, who are TV actors who are like their characters? This list answers that question. Here are seven TV actors who ended up sharing a fate with the characters they played on television. 
http://www.ranker.com/list/7-tv-actors-who-turned-out-just-like-their-characters/carly-kiel,

Lisa Robin Kelly / Laurie Forman
Remember the '70s? Me neither. Remember "That '70s Show"? Remember when Eric Forman had that b*tchy, slutty older sister, Laurie that was always getting into trouble? She was a mess.

At the end of Season 1, she flunked out of college. (Remember "flunking"?) In Season 2, she tricked oafish Kelso into cheating on his girlfriend and blackmailed him into continuing the relationship via PG-13 sexual favors. In Season 3, she broke his heart. Then she disappeared from the show and really wasn't missed all that much. Laurie Forman was a manipulative and self-absorbed liar. She didn't appear to have any friends of her own, and everyone kind of hated her - even (especially?) her parents.



The Real Lisa Robin Kelly

Since her last appearance on "That '70s Show" in 2003, Kelly, now 42, has not been staying out of trouble. In August 2010, she pleaded guilty to a charge of driving while intoxicated. Yawn.

Then on March 31, 2012, at damn near 1:00 in the morning, her male roommate / possible boyfriend / hopefully ex-boyfriend told the police Kelly had attacked them in their home. She was arrested on a felony charge of corporal injury, though she claims she has been framed. She released the statement:
"He must have scratched himself or done something to himself. ... I am clean and sober and I have made a lot of progress. I am completely innocent. I weigh 105 pounds. ... I just want to start working again." And you know she means business, because she's already gone out and gotten a new headshot taken.



On August 15th, 2013, the troubled actress died in a rehab facility after a long battle with drugs and alcohol.

(Source)
Charlie Sheen / Charlie Harper
Has there ever been a badder boy than Charlie Sheen? Trick question! Yes, but only one: His own alter ego, Charlie Harper.

According to my dad, who is the only person I know in real life to have ever actually watched "Two and a Half Men," Harper is was "a man child who lacked touch with reality. He was into younger women, like a male cougar. But he was cool! ...Did I already say sexual predator?" A playboy millionaire with too much of everything (money, time, self-esteem), Harper partied hard up until his final moments, when he fell in front of a train in Paris - or was pushed by a woman he had toyed with for years. It was only a matter of time.



The Real Charlie Sheen

What is there to say about Charlie Sheen that he hasn't already said about himself? He has tiger blood and Adonis DNA, and he's an F-16. It's Charlie Sheen's world, we all just live in it. He has snorted blow off the solid gold hoof of a unicorn. A real live unicorn. This is all true.

Much like his character Harper, though, Sheen gets into all kinds of trouble. The thing is: without the safety of a sitcom and a live studio audience, his actions actually come with little things called "consequences."

Sheen has been arrested and sent in to rehab more times than Wikipedia even bothers to list. He has five children, three ex-wives, and two porn "star" ex-girlfriends (yes, they are now exes) who appeared with him in that 2011 interview when everyone found out that, yes, Emilio Estevez is the sane one.

Sheen's loud mouth and ultra-ego eventually got him fired from the role that had once made him the highest-paid actor on television - but they allowed him to live with porn stars and be as much of a ladies' guy as the character he played. And he didn't even have to wear those trendy bowler shirts to do it in real life.

The only real difference between Sheen and his character - for now - is that Charlie Harper is dead.


David Duchovny / Hank Moody
Try as he might, the main character of the hit show "Californication", novelist Hank Moody, just can't keep it in his pants, which is no problem for "X-Files" fans still clinging to fantasies of nekkid Mulder. For 5 seasons of "Californication," Hank's unquenchable lust has been the one thing that's kept him from achieving his creative potential - and from keeping his family together. It also got him into a pretty sticky situation at the end of the Season 5 finale.



The Real David Duchovny

It certainly made for a good headline: "Duchovny: Sex Addict Onscreen and Off." In 2008, the actor released a statement that he checked into a treatment center to battle a longstanding sex addiction. Rumors for the trigger ranged from a history of alcoholism to an extramarital fling with a tennis instructor. After rehab, Duchovny returned to wife Téa Leoni and the couple's two kids, though they've reportedly been separated since June 2011.

This probably means that Duchovny's addiction, much like Hank Moody's, is a lot of what's standing in between him and ultimate happiness. The part could not have been cast better.


Dustin Diamond / Screech Powers
Before Sheldon Cooper - before Carlton, Milhouse, and even Urkel - there was Screech Powers, "Saved by the Bell"'s teenage nerd; a guy who was so horribly repellent, only Tori Spelling would date him.

From 1989-2000, for four incarnations of "Saved by the Bell" (including a few memorable specials, like the one in Hawaii with Staci Carosi and the Battle of the Sexes on the beach), Screech tucked his Zubaz into high-top Converse and was systematically rejected by token black hottie, Lisa Turtle. When the cool kids who allowed him to hang out with them finally moved on with their lives, Screech returned to Bayside High to work as an assistant to his best friend, school principal Mr. Belding. In the end, none of his friends seemed to really help him succeed, and people continued to laugh at him for the rest of the character's life (as far as we loyal fans know).



The Real Dustin Diamond

When "Saved by the Bell: The New Class" was finally (finally) canceled in 2000, Dustin Diamond rested on the dregs of his laurels, appearing as "Himself" in shows you never saw, like "Star Dates."

In 2006, he directed and released his own sex tape, Screeched - Saved by the Smell, which I also hope you never saw.

Some time after that, my friends ran into him in a bar in Boston, where he was selling t-shirts with his own face on them, trying to raise money so he wouldn't lose his house to foreclosure. If any of them gave him one cent, they never admitted it.

With nobody helping him in the end, his career has fallen to just about where Screech's did, being a walking punchline and, sadly, ending up on a depressing amount of VH1 shows.


Christopher Reeve / Dempsey Cain
Do you recall what you were doing May 25, 1995? Probably not watching the steamy HBO TV special and suspense-thriller Above Suspicion, written by one William H. Macy.

Christopher Reeve starred as a paralyzed cop plotting to murder his cheating wife (like ya do), played by Kim Cattrall. Reeve reportedly spent time at a rehabilitation hospital to research the role, learning how to use a wheelchair to get in and out of cars, mastering his craft and adding another notch to his belt of skills at the time (like pretending to fly faster than a speeding bullet without wincing).



The Real Christopher Reeve

The film was overshadowed by a miserable coincidence on May 27,1995 - just 2 days after the TV movie aired - when Reeve was thrown from a stubborn horse. He fell headfirst and shattered his first and second vertebrae, which paralyzed him from the neck down. And then rude stuff like this happened:



The most unfortunate and tragic coincidence on this list, Reeve's paralysis exacerbated, and created, a series of conditions which eventually led to his death in October 2004.
Jon Stewart / Fictional Jon Stewart
In 1997, Jon Stewart guest hosted "The Larry Sanders Show," the show-within-a-show on "The Larry Sanders Show," normally hosted by Larry Sanders (Garry Shandling). The ambitious young comedian was a network favorite on the fictional "Larry Sanders Show," and at the end of the series (the real one), he replaced Sanders as the host of his own talk show. No flipping.

Fictional Jon Stewart wanted to turn the program into a more edgy, social commentary-driven late night talk show, and that's just what he ended up doing.



The Real Jon Stewart

It can be hard to believe how long our modern-day comedic heroes have been around (see also: Jeffrey Tambor, above).

For 2 years in the '80s, Jon Stewart held the 2 a.m. drunk audience slot at Manhattan's Comedy Cellar, and he spent most of the '90s popping up on MTV and Comedy Central shows like "Dr. Katz: Professional Therapist" when I was supposed to be doing homework. Though the official version of history says that Craig Kilborn left "The Daily Show" in 1998 to host "The Late Late Show," insiders say that friction between Kilborn and some of his staff (particularly the ladies) was a major factor in his departure.

Enter Stewart in 1999, and the modern version of "The Daily Show" was born. Now it's what you watch when you're supposed to be doing homework.

Just like the guy he played on "Larry Sanders" years back, Stewart replaced a host who was getting tired of the job and brought a younger, more commentary-filled voice to a show that ultimately appealed to a younger audience.


Tracy Morgan / Tracy Jordan
Full disclosure: I have a Who Dat Ninja? magnet on my refrigerator. It's a testament to how much I love Tracy Jordan, "30 Rock"'s eccentric, ego-centric (male) diva and the "TGS" production staff's worst nightmare. They work overtime doing damage control to clean up after his antics. When Jordan isn't trying to stab talk show hosts or accidentally voting for Ralph Nader, he's wasting time, blowing money, and embarrassing the people who are forced to work with him.



He was originally supposed to be a satirical character that would poke fun of the overblown egos of the Martin Lawrences of the world, but then life began to imitate art.

The Real Tracy Morgan

2011 was a rough year for Tracy Morgan (publicity-wise; he was probably doing just fine money-wise).

In January, during live pre-NBA game coverage on TNT, he said Sarah Palin was "good masturbation material," much like the time when Tracy Jordan (his alter-ego on the show) set off panics in the streets of New York with random false declarations he spouted on "Larry King Live."

In June of the same year, he came under fire after he did a comedy show in Nashville and said that he would "pull out a knife and stab" his son if he ever spoke in "a gay voice." After he issued an apology, the incident was parodied on an episode of "30 Rock." Speaking on Morgan's character's behalf, Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) said:
"He's not capable of hate. He's just an idiot who doesn't know what he's saying."
So not only is the real Tracy Morgan an embarrassment to the show that turned his career around, but he also tends to say the dumbest things his mind grapes can think up - and gets into just as much trouble for themon the show as he does off. The main difference being, of course, that when Tracy acts up on the show, it's actually kind of endearing.

Celebrity Pregnancies 2014
Celebrity pregnancies 2014 includes all of the most famous Hollywood starlets, models, star athletes, singers and more who were expecting babies during the year. Which celebs are expecting babies in 2014? Find out right here, and expect this list to grow greatly as the months fly by. You can also find out which celebs gave birth by checking out this list of 2014 celebrity babies.

If 2013's celebrity pregnancy baby boom is any indication, expect a ton of famous people to announce pregnancies in 2014. Can anything top the Kim Kardashian pregnancy from 2013? We'll see! Kim's baby bump was one of the most famous bumps in Hollywood, and rightly so, but at some point, another celebrity baby bump will be even more watched (especially if the celeb is expecting twins!). And, of course, if any royal, particularly Kate Middleton, gets pregnant, she immediately generates huge headlines.

Here's the bottom line: If an A-lister gets pregnant, expect her to land on this list immediately, and with her due date information, if it's known (some celebs still keep mum on their due dates, of course). And, if they decide to give their instantly famous child a bizarre name, that child will land on this hilarious list of the most ridiculous celebrity baby names.

The Greatest Geeky Girls on TV
List of the greatest female geeky TV characters. The best and nerdiest women on television are ranked on this page based on their level of geekdom. These women are good at what they do -- and they studied damn hard to make it happen. As much as Lindsay Weir in "Freaks and Geeks" tried to escape her geek label, it is impossible to fully un-nerd yourself. Even Screech found himself a match in Jessie Spano in the realm of "Saved By The Bell." And one of the best geek girls on television is the character of Topanga Lawrence, who will hopefully have a nerdy daughter in the upcoming "Girl Meets World" series. Amy Poehler and Tina Fey have also created television characters with such geeky qualities, it should inspire every young lady in America to follow suit. These women could outsmart their male counterparts any day of the week, even if sometimes they out-awkward them as well.
