The NFLPA is "planning a video response, likely out today," to the news that CBS College Sports will not air the union's "Let Us Play" ad during coverage of Saturday's NFLPA All-Star Game (PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE, 2/1).

The U.S. has canceled a Feb. 9 int'l soccer friendly in Cairo against Egypt's national team, "citing the ongoing political unrest in that country" (NYTIMES.com, 1/31).

Former President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush are scheduled to attend the Super Bowl on Sunday (STAR-TELEGRAM.com, 1/31).

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel this week is running a "Packers Blitz" of Super Bowl-related content and offers in the runup to Sunday's game. This includes special sections, merchandising and a daily column from Packers LB Clay Matthews (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel).

"The way we look at it, we're not any different than any other team. It's just the color of our skin that makes us different. But we do joke around with it a little bit" – Thrashers D Dustin Byfuglien, on being part of the second NHL team ever to have five black players on its roster (AP, 1/31).

"What appeals to me? Is that a setup question? You asked me that last year, and that's where it all started" – Nuggets G Carmelo Anthony, who last year said that he would like to play for the Knicks, when asked what it is about N.Y. that appeals to him (NJ.com, 2/1).

"Cashman's a very honest and forthright guy, but he's also not above playing games.

Carroll County Times’ Aaron Wilson: “Ines Sainz and Chad Ochocinco are teaming up for Media Day for TV Azteca. Should be an interesting tandem.”

Letterman teases his Super Bowl "ad" that will feature Sheen (l) and Mubarak (c)

Last night's edition of CBS' "Late Show" aired a new Super Bowl "ad" spoofing David Letterman's previous ad in which he appeared with Jay Leno and Oprah Winfrey. Letterman said Winfrey and Leno had "some fun" with the Super Bowl ad last year and added, "We got Oprah, her own self, to be in the commercial and Jay Leno was having all that trouble because he lost his job to Conan and then he got very unhappy and then he got Conan fired. It was in all the papers and we said, 'Come and be in our Super Bowl thing.'" The show displayed a screenshot of Leno, Winfrey and Letterman from their ad sitting on the couch and Letterman said, "So now this year we've done another one and I don't want to give away too much, but this year take a look at who it's going to be." The show displayed another screenshot with Charlie Sheen, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Letterman sitting on a couch in front of a TV. Letterman: "It's going to be crazy" ("Late Show," CBS, 1/31).

THE MONOLOGUES:

CBS' David Letterman: "Nice to see you're ignoring the curfew. Great time to be in New York City. Where do you go from here, Cairo? How about that crisis in Egypt? They've cut off the cell phone. They've cut off the Internet. I mean it's like visiting your parent's house. ... How about the snow in New York City? It's pretty good, huh? They're expecting tomorrow 12 more inches of snow. The good news is 12 more inches will cover up the existing 22 inches. I want to tell you something, ladies and gentlemen, we have had so much snow here in New York City, the hookers in Times Square – God bless them – are offering for an extra 50 bucks for lift tickets. ... Charlie Sheen had a suitcase – a suitcase, a suitcase! – full of cocaine. I on the other hand have a suitcase full of Lipitor. That's the problem. ... This year the Academy Awards nominated two movies that were remakes of John Wayne movies. Are you aware of this? First of all 'True Grit' was a John Wayne movie and then the other one of course, 'Black Swan.' That was a John Wayne movie. ... By the way, happy birthday to Dick Cheney. Yesterday, I think he's 70 years old. Happy birthday to Dick Cheney. Dick celebrated by shooting a cake. ... They had a party at Dick Cheney's house, and he invited 12 people to his birthday party up at his house and at midnight he told them, he said, 'Only 11 of you will be leaving here with a heart.' That's what he said" ("Late Show," CBS, 1/31).

NBC's Jay Leno: "Record cold temperatures all across the country. Oh my God, it was so cold in northern California, Taco Bell was selling burritos made out of reindeer. ... It was so cold on the set of MTV's 'Skins,' two of the teenagers had their clothes on. That's how cold it is. You know where the coldest part of the country was? Anybody know? Whatever basket the Lakers were shooting at yesterday. ... It is so cold, Charlie Sheen was thankful for the burning and the itching. ... Charlie Sheen was in the hospital last week. Apparently, he partied with five porn stars and was rushed to the hospital with a hernia. So guys, let that be a lesson to you. If you're partying with five porn stars, always use a spotter. ... Wednesday is Groundhog Day. I can't even imagine how Taco Bell is going to celebrate that. ... It seems a class action suit has been filed against Taco Bell for calling its seasoned ground beef 'beef.' They say in the lawsuit it contains water, oats, soy, anti-dusting agents, yeast extract, corn starch and sodium. So in other words, it's a hot dog. ... The bookies have put the odds out for this weekend. The Packers are slightly favored over the Steelers, and the rioters are slightly favored over President Mubarak, so it's close. I guess you heard, huge riots continuing in Egypt. Experts say one of the problems over there is there's a huge difference in wealth between the extremely rich and the vast majority of people who have nothing. Well, thank God that could never happen in this country. ... I haven't seen this many protesters in Cairo since the last time they announced Brendan Fraser was doing another one of those mummy movies" ("The Tonight Show," NBC, 1/31).
