Super Bowl Sunday: Where to Watch the Big Game and Catch Some Deals, Too

Just because the Bears aren’t playing on Sunday doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the big game. So pick a team to root for this weekend and meet your friends at one of the many spots in Darien and Woodridge that are offering super deals.

Sunday’s Super Bowl looks to be a really good one, pitting rookie QB Colin Kaepernick of the San Francisco 49’ers against the more seasoned Baltimore Ravens’ leader Joe Flacco. Kickoff is at 5:30 p.m. Central Standard Time on CBS. And even if you’re a loyal Bears fan through and through, let’s face it – there’s no sense sitting home all by yourself on Sunday. So why not meet your friends at one of these spots in Darien or Woodridge and enjoy their food and drink specials while watching the big game? Darien’s Q Sports Bar and Grill features more than 20 HDTVs so you won’t miss a minute of football action – or you can challenge your friends to a round of pool, darts, beanbags or arcade games.

Super Bowl Commercials 2012: What Was Your Favorite?

From the Doritos baby to Ferris Bueller, Super Bowl Sunday delivered plenty of laughs. But what ad reigned supreme?

The New York Giants may have been the big winners Sunday, but one question remains: What was the best Super Bowl commercial of 2012? This year's ads featured plenty of Super Bowl Sunday staples—funny babies, cute dogs and a bunch of celebrities (Jerry Seinfeld, Clint Eastwood, Betty White and David Beckham, to name a few).
