We all remember the now-infamous blackout that occurred during this year's Super Bowl. Thanks to a faulty power supply (and Beyonce's literal lights out halftime performance), the Superdome faded to black like the end of "The Sopranos," sending the entire CBS crew into a frenzy. It was at that point that Jim Nantz was ready to take matters into his own hands...

Matt Hasselbeck recently moved between the AFC South, going from the Titans to Colts while maintaining his usual backup role.
