Rogers Communications CEO Tony Staffieri apologized for a massive 24-hour nationwide internet and cellular outage in Canada caused by a maintenance upgrade. The failure disrupted emergency services, travel, and debit transactions, leading to calls for a public inquiry by the CRTC into the lack of telecommunications competition in the country.

The 33-minute power outage during Super Bowl XLVII is scrutinized for potential rigging or betting involvement. Governor Chris Christie's observation of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's calm demeanor during the blackout is highlighted. The hosts speculate that the outage was a deliberate move to influence the point spread or momentum of the game.
