0.014, barely measurable amount. officers had claimed they could smell alcohol on his breath. a florida teenager who is a big bieber fan says she never doubted his innocence. he even gave her his

system is working just fine. the league wants to make sure there is not a repeat of the last super bowl, in which the game between the 49ers and the baltimore ravens was stopped for more than half an hour because of a power outage. now, around $100 million is expected to be bet on the game at las vegas casinos. some of the more unusual wagers are known as prop bets. they include the lowest temperature during the game, the length of the national anthem, which song bruno mars will perform during his half time show, and will any member of the red hot chili peppers be shirtless as part of the show? casinos say they are worried the uncertainty of the weather is going to play havoc with gambling odds. >> lot of concerns all around, just because you're not a player that touches the ball doesn't mean you can't affect the game and how much yardage a team can get and based on the weather conditions and the field conditions. well, just under $99 million was bet in last year's super bowl. casinos say the amount was a record because of the popularity of the 49ers in california and nevada. now, if you're not going to the super bowl, you can watch it right here on ktvu. the game is
