Today on VSR – Super Bowl mania! I haven’t decided who I’m rooting for tomorrow for Super Bowl 46, so we’re going to break it down VSR style and try to help me come to a decision. Although, sadly for this year’s competition, we have no parrots.

BUTTE, Mont. – A 55-year-old Montana man who says he "always wanted" to be part of a police chase can check that off his bucket list.
John C. Hughes followed a patrol car for seven blocks early Thursday before pulling his SUV around and taking off at speeds of up to 70 mph. Officers say the Butte man was driving faster than 100 mph on an interstate toward Rocker, Mont.
Officers in that city laid out a spiked strip to flatten the tires on the SUV.
A police report says Hughes told officers he "just always wanted" to see what it would be like to be in a police chase. Officers say Hughes had not been drinking.
Hughes faces a charge of reckless driving while eluding police.
WAYNESBURG, Pa. – Police in southwestern Pennsylvania say a woman who appeared to not have any teeth in surveillance photos from a bank robbery last month has confessed, apologized and said she planned the heist because she needed the money for dentures.
Forty-nine-year-old Evelyn Marie Fuller, of Carmichaels, was arrested Tuesday by police in Waynesburg, where she's charged with robbing the First National Bank on Jan. 20.
Fuller told a district judge she has mental health problems and lives on disability.
After her arraignment, Fuller told a reporter, "I'm very sorry for what I did and I know God is going to punish me for it." Fuller says her pastor told her to tell the truth about what she did.
MONTPELIER, Vt. – A Vermont prison inmate who makes stationery and license plates has gotten the best of the state police by covertly adding the image of a pig to the state decal on their police cars.
One of the spots on the cow in the state crest has been changed to the shape of a pig, a derogatory term for police. The 16-inch car door decals are made by prisoners in Windsor.
State police discovered the pig images Wednesday. They say they believe the decals have been added to about 30 cruisers in the past year.
Who made the modification and when is being reviewed by the Department of Corrections. Corrections Commissioner Andy Pallito said Thursday new decals will be made by Monday for about $800.

Europe has "Silent Discos." You listen to music on your headphones
Due to noise ordinances in Europe, club owners have created “silent discos” where clubbers listen to music through headphones. Rather than use a speaker system, some club owners have resorted to wireless headphones to entertain club goers.
Music is broadcast via FM-transmitter to the clubber’s headphones. It’s called “silent discos.” The style of clubbing is popular for music festivals, when people want to party long after noise ordinances would allow. Two DJ’s often compete for the listeners, too.
