Sure, she has her faults just like everybody else, but we love Naomi Campbell. We especially love watching her hot body in a swimsuit. But as we watched Tuesday night's All-Star Game, this annoying yet remarkable commercial kept appearing that somehow managed to show Naomi in a swimsuit and then totally turn us off to SoBe Life Water forever in the same 30 seconds. Congratulations, that's not an easy to do.

Super Bowl and supermodels? That's like the whole 'two greats tastes that go great together' thing. Only good can come from something so special. That's a given, right?

Aside from Madonna hawking shampoo and some athletes talking about armor there was only one fashion-ish ad during the game (assuming you don't count Gisele downing bowls of wine up in the owner's box). It is the Super Bowl after all, and the target isn't style, it's beer and GoDaddy.

The one ad that was the exception to the rule was for Victoria's Secret and featured the lovely Angel Adriana Lima in a saucy little black lingerie number. There were words, something about fumbles and Valentine's Day, and Brenda Lee singing to set the mood. It was a special little moment tucked between sacks and touchdowns.

I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but it's pretty obvious she wanted me. You be the judge:

I didn't really care who won the Super Bowl. I guess it would've been nice to see the Patriots get their perfect season (and anything is better than watching the Giants win), but all in all I was only half-interested.

However that was before I knew what was at stake. Apparently there was a rumor circulating that Gisele Bundchen, the uber-attractive supermodel girlfriend of New England quarterback Tom Brady, would run naked through the street of Time Square if the Patriots had won the game.

Naked! Gisele! In the streets!

Were the Patriots aware of this? How could they have possibly lost the game knowing what was on the line? Or, on the other hand, maybe they did know, and the additional pressure was simply too much to bear -- which led to their unfortunate performance on Sunday.

Truth be told, Gisele's agent is claiming she never made the promise, so it's likely that even if the Pats did pull through, we wouldn't have seen any streaking supermodels. Regardless, this is a sad day -- for New England fans, for Gisele fans, and for fans of public nakedness.

I guess there's always next year.

I grew up in Arizona. I remember one time when I was about 13-years-old my buddy and I painted our faces red and blue, the colors of the University of Arizona Wildcats, before a football game with our dads. We were those fans.

When I got older and actually attended the U of A I traded my make-up kit for a tailgate and my body weight in beer. I'm sure the make-up looked better on me than the drunk did, but hey, it's all relative.

Apparently I took the easy road. A real fan would have combined the two. Nothing says super fan like make-up and alcohol (just ask Ace Frehley). It says a few other things too, but that's a different post.

Let's be honest: spots gear isn't stylish. Unless you're Tom Brady, you look silly in a jersey, and you certainly won't see any NFL logos on models strutting down the runways. Not that you care -- you're a real fan. You're going to support your team come hell or high water -- even if they're being pounded into oblivion by the unbeaten Patriots if that means dressing like a walking billboard.

But don't worry, there's still some goods news -- even for Giants fans. For those of you are interested in looking good for the big game, there's plenty of ways you can cheer on your team without being that crazy shirtless dude in a beer helmet.

So, while you probably aren't going to look good on Super Bowl Sunday, think of this as you're guide on how not to look bad.

A week from today, I will be offline for the better part of the day because I will be pounding Corona Lights and screaming at the television. It's Super Bowl Sunday, y'all.

Since I have been in the midst of planning for the big game, I have everything football on my brain, and I couldn't help but bring up a major StyleFoul that I had to witness last Sunday -- New England Patriots' head coach, Bill Belichick's game "uniform." Coach Belichick wears the same charcoal grey Patriots' hooded sweatshirt every game, which would be fine (I know all about superstition), except that he has cut off the sleeves at the ¾-length.

Alright, so perhaps the homemade ¾-length sleeve isn't quite a StyleFoul. In fact, it could be quite functional and fetching. It's Belichick's whole outfit, since his team lost to my beloved Peyton and won't be playing in the Super Bowl!
