And so it is in 2013, with Beyonce the scheduled performer. She follows a long list of celebs, such as Madonna (in 2012), Tom Petty, the Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney.

This year, the buzz is not just about what Beyonce will perform in the 12-minute set. In meeting the Super Bowl media Thursday (Jan. 31), she also had to deal with a possible Destiny's Child reunion and whether she was "lip-synching" her performance of the National Anthem at the Presidential Inauguration on January 21.

Well, you'll just have to read ... and watch Sunday. Also, the attached video shows some of her Super Bowl rehearsal.

49ers' Moss says he's 'best receiver ever': Randy Moss is no stranger to the Super Bowl, having been there with New England. But he got everyone's attention this week when he proclaimed himself the best receiver in NFL history.

Yes, he said, that includes Jerry Rice, the all-time leader in touchdown receptions, with 197. Moss has 156.

"It's my personal opinion," Moss told reporters. "(Rice) has the numbers but I don't believe in numbers."

Rice, now an ESPN analyst, responded: "You have to look at the stats, you have to look at how you impacted the game, and it's all about winning this right here, this is it, the Super Bowl, and I was fortunate to win three."
