Tonight, Slovenian time, the 51st Super Bowl took place in Houston, the final of the American football league, which after an epic turnaround was won by the New England Patriots, who beat the Atlanta Falcons in overtime and became the NFL champions for the fifth time. During halftime, the audience was entertained for a quarter of an hour by Lady Gaga, who started her performance at the top of the stadium and then jumped into the depths (see video). The Super Bowl is traditionally accompanied by interesting advertisements. These are the best that viewers had the chance to see this year.

The Super Bowl 2017 will be held on February 5, 2017. The Atlanta Falcons and the New England Patriots will clash in the 51st NFL Finals. At the megalomaniacal event, the star Tom Brady, who is one of the best passers in the history of American football, will be in the foreground among the athletes. The event has long outgrown the sports framework and is now a giant business, and the match is almost of secondary importance. Last year, advertisers shelled out $5 million for a 30-second ad block during the finale, and this year Fox set the price at $5.02 million.
Is this the most desperate free throw in history? Although it seems that all the world's basketball cream is gathered in the NBA basketball league, there are also basketball players in its ranks who probably shouldn't be there. One of them is Joakim Noah, who has repeatedly "proved himself" with defeating shots that belong in the village and not in the strongest basketball league in the world. Watch his desperate free throw that made the entire basketball world laugh. Shaquille O'Neal will surely give it a fair go in his NB playground jokes Shaqtin' A Fool.
For the fifth time in a row, the best surfers in the world will gather at Rogla for the World Cup match.

It happens to the best. Take a look at the mistake made by the Duke Blue Devils, who play in the NCAA American college league. A scene that you can only see at primary school league matches.

Every year, Forbes magazine publishes a list of the highest paid athletes in the world, and this time it also revealed who are the highest paid athletes of all time. It is typical for an athlete's career to be relatively short. They have very little time to earn enough money for a decent life, because after the end of their career they can quickly become stingy. Well, this certainly does not apply to the biggest earners among athletes, who with their fabulous earnings have quickly provided for a few more generations behind them. These athletes are (were) not only the best of their kind, they are also winning with the numbers in their bank accounts.
Slovenia is shaking with jumping fever. On Friday, the first race in ski jumping in the new season (2016/17) is on the schedule, where Peter Prevc, who wrote a golden chapter in the history of ski jumping last season, is starting his title defense. In the dreamy past season, he not only jumped onto the jumping Olympus, he also conquered everything there was to conquer, and at the same time broke many records and raised the appetites of the already demanding Slovenian public, who ate out of the hands of the Slovenian eagles last season. The jumpers are ready for the new season, which starts with Friday's match in Kuusamo (November 25, 2016), followed by a new one on Saturday.

Watch his heart-pounding high-speed parachute descent past glaciers, canyons and cliffs.
