Players mill around the field after half of the lights went out during the third quarter of the NFL Super Bowl XLVII football game between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers in New Orleans, Louisiana, February 3, 2013. REUTERS/Gary HershornNew Orleans - Power went out at the Superdome early in the third quarter of the Super Bowl, leading to a 35-minute delay with the Baltimore Ravens leading the San Francisco 49ers 28-6 on Sunday.
The majority of the lights failed shortly after Jacoby Jones returned the opening kickoff of the second half for a touchdown.
Play finally resumed with 13:22 left in the third quarter.
During the outage, the public address announcer said the Superdome was experiencing an interruption of electrical service and encouraged fans to stay in their seats.
Some fans did the wave to pass the time. Players milled around on the sidelines, some took a seat on the bench, other on the field. A few of the Ravens threw footballs around.
Officials gathered on the field and appeared to be talking to stadium personnel. Finally, the lights came back on throughout the stadium, which appeared to have been operating on auxiliary power.
There was no immediate explanation for the power failure, which apparently was limited to the Superdome. The lights were on along the main thoroughfare outside the stadium.

Don't you believe in hashgacha paratis or more likely that the Ebeshter is a Ravens fan?

** If you are not interested in sport why did you bother to read this?
** If a sincere and true charedi does not have a television because that is what his/her rabbi told him/her to do, what on earth is that person doing using a computer to write comments that are clearly 'bitul Torah'?

Norden - Relax!!! I know if gives you a satisfaction to use any excuse to jump on the people who are more erlich then you, but it doesn't bode well for you to have that attitude.

Please don't use the word "erlich" to mean strictly religious. Erlichkeit has nothing to do with religion. Anyone, a Reform Jew, a Gentile or an Atheist can be "erlich". It is also noted that one can be a strict chareidi and still not be "erlich".

Erlichkeit comes from the Torah. There exist the "pintialy" yid in everyone, but its all from Har Sinai

Strongly disagree. "Erlich" is not exactly the same as "frum," but nobody ever calls a conservativereform koifer or a goy erlich.
