Super Bowl ads cost as much as $3.8 million this year. Which were the best Super Bowl commercials of 2013? Which were your favorites? Watch some of them right here on Patch.
Millions of sports enthusiasts watched Super Bowl 47 on Super Bowl Sunday. Even more, likely, tuned in to watch Super Bowl commercials. According to Ad Age, CBS essentially sold out its ad inventory for Super Bowl XLVII at prices averaging between $3.7 million and $3.8 million. More from Ad Age: The usual coterie of big sponsors is more or less on board again -- hello, Pepsi! hello Bud Light! -- accompanied by opportunistic, smaller brands that want to make a big splash, such as Century 21 and GoDaddy.com, both of which are also returning to the game. In addition to Ms. Patrick and Mr. Fogle, celebrities and pseudo-celebs on the ad roster will include Willem Dafoe, Amy Poehler, Bar Refaeli, Tracy Morgan, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Psy, …

Love the snacks but don't have the time, or patience, to make them for the Super Bowl? Here are five snacks that are as fast as Wes Welker.
Buffalo Chicken Dip This recipe is courtesy of Tabasco, which is a required condiment for a Super Bowl party. Heat oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Place cream cheese in a deep baking dish and stir until smooth. Mix in buttermilk ranch dressing, TABASCO® Buffalo Style Sauce, and cheeses. Stir in chicken. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the dip is completely heated throughout; be careful not to overcook. Stir again and serve with crackers, tortilla chips or vegetables. Hot Spinach-Artichoke Dip Food Network is always a good source for recipes. Here's an easy, tasty, recipe; and you can even pretend it's healthy. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a casserole dish with nonstick spray. Heat the spinach in a microwave oven on high for 5 …

If you don't have plans for the Super Bowl, here's a list of Plymouth establishments hosting parties, giveaways and deals.
Remember, back in the day, when February was a cold and barren month? It was the doldrums of winter when we shoveled snow and looked on sadly as the Celtics and Bruins muddled through their seasons; we had high, desperate, hopes as the Red Sox congregated in Fort Myers, and the Patriots hadn't played a game since December? Yeah, those were the days. The bad old days. As we prepare to watch the New England Patriots face the hated team from New York, several Plymouth establishments are preparing for the big day as well, with specials, prizes and lots of good food. Here are some of the parties.

Post photos of you and the family wearing your Patriots gear here. Go Patriots!
Whether you're a die-hard fan or a pink hat, it's all good, because the New England Patriots are in the Super Bowl. So send us your Patriots-themed pictures; your red, white, and blue hoodie cupcakes; your kid's painted face, and your best Gronk spike and let the world see your support. The Bruins did it today.
It's Groundhog Day, so go dig up a groundhog, or a woodchuck, and see if it sees its shadow.
1. It's Groundhog Day. Will the rodent see it's shadow? Check out some groundhog history and vote in our poll. 2. Can we make a joke of this and just repeat the same phrase over and over again? It's the Socratic method after all. 3. On this day in 1882, Irish novelist James Joyce was born. His works including The Dubliners, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and Ulysses would bring him fame, and infamy, as Ulysses was banned in the United States as an obscene work. 4. Check out our list of places to see the Super Bowl. 5. Tots n' Tales in the Children's Room at the Library is held from 11 to 11:30 a.m.

There are plenty of establishments hosting Super Bowl parties across Plymouth, but perhaps you have other plans.
"The Bruins, the Red Sox, the Celtics...now the Patriots. Enough already Boston." Even the President acknowledges that we in New England are rolling in professional sports riches (and rightly so in this sports fan's humble opinion). The New England Patriots will be playing in the Super Bowl in less than two weeks. That's just enough time to plan a party, buy the secret ingredients for your (in)famous chili, and place your bets with Las Vegas or choose your squares in the office pool. What are your plans? Are you heading to a local establishment with friends, or inviting those same friends to hang out in front of the big screen at home? Have you been invited to a party or planning a party of your own? And most importantly, have you planned …
