Ghalib swerved and the alleged victim fell off, breaking his wrist and sustaining other injuries."

"I feel like I deserve a treat when I work hard," said Louis-Dreyfus. "It's important to give yourself a little of what you really want so you don't feel like you're in food prison."

So what does the former Seinfeld star indulge in? "I have a chocolate drawer in my desk where I keep treats at all times," she says. "As long as I can have one or two pieces, I'm fine."

So is there anything she simply can't resist? "My biggest food vice is bacon," Louis-Dreyfus confesses. "In fact, I don't keep bacon in my house - that would be way too tempting."

My husband would understand this temptation, but I can tell you there is definitely bacon in our house.

    NBC.com, Hulu.com, and NFL.com have all the Super Bowl ads collected on each of their sites. Strangely, NFL.com and Hulu make you sit through an ad before you get to watch a Super Bowl ad. Hulu seems to have the best video player of the three, the NFL site actually has game highlights, and NBC is probably the most convenient since you don’t have to sit through a pre-ad ad.
