If you've been blaming Beyonce all along, you'd be wrong!

The temporary power outage at Super Bowl XLVII wasn't caused by Bey's spectacular halftime show… it was all

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is suing The Wine Bistro in New Orleans for advertising that he and The Money Team would be there for a pre-Super Bowl party.

If you don't know, The Money Team is Justin Bieber, Lil' Kim, 50 Cent and Miss Jackson.

So this place claimed that all of these famous folks would be there for a huge party, and none of them knew anything about it!

Ever since he won the Super Bowl, Brendon Ayanbadejo's soap box has gotten a lot taller.

Now he can reach more people and spread his most important message: Homophobia in pro sports needs to stop.

He is a straight man, who all on his own took up the fight for LGBT equality in sports.

Chuck Culpepper is a gay sportswriter who is a self-proclaimed "exotic creature" as an aforementioned "gay male sportswriter."

He was also lucky enough to be able to cover the Super Bowl and interview the players before the game.

While in the Ravens' locker room, he spotted a player that he didn't immediately recognize, but after learning who he was, had to go speak to him.

That player was Brendon Ayanbadejo.

Culpepper knew he wanted to talk to him, but didn't know how to handle it. He walked up to Brendon and said the whole interview went a little like this:

If you were one of the hundred million people watching the Super Bowl last Sunday, you probably remember the blackout.

There was a 33-minute stoppage due to many of the lights in the stadium suddenly shutting off.

It was sudden, confusing and really had everyone wondering just how did this actually happen.

To quote Ravens QB Joe Flacco:

"How the hell does this happen?"

Ha! Our thoughts exactly!

While many players hopped on exercise bikes and started stretching to stay warm, Ravens coach John Harbaugh tried to keep his team rallied, saying:

Brendon Ayanbadejo is a linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens and one of the most outspoken gay rights activists in professional sports.

First, let us say congrats on winning the Super Bowl!!

Second, being a straight pro athlete and "coming out" as a supporter of gay rights must be hard to do.

But Brendon knows that coming out as openly gay would be even harder for a player due to the generally homophobic atmosphere that dominates pro sports.

Brendon said:

How does Rob Lowe prepare for the Super Bowl??

By taking off his shirt and hitting the surf!

That's what Rob was spotted doing on the morning of Super Bowl Sunday.

He was snapped while carrying his surfboard along the sandy shores of Malibu.

Rob and a buddy must've wanted to get a nice workout in before chowing down on some Super Bowl snacks.

We bet he makes being physically active a part of his daily routine! How else would he get a bod like his??

Look at those sexy pecs! Must help him paddle out deep so he can roll in on some sweet swells!

Keep up that fitness, Rob!

Joe Flacco, as quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, earned his MVP title during this most recent Super Bowl! He overcame adversity to get there, too — like having an alleged murderer on his team, and of course the massive blackout right after half time!

Being MVP means a lot of things, though, that the other teammates don't get to do — like ride in a Corvette in a parade at Disney, then flying to NYC to be on Letterman!

Once there, Letterman got to business and asked about the blackout, and how suspicious it was:
