So they're watching the big game. So what? 
Does that make it any better that your son is being manipulative towards you, this whole time knowing that you are in distress? Does that erase the fact that he strayed from his commitment to you and violated the ground rules. I'm sure these other boys have TV's they can watch the big game on. Maybe your son could go to one of their houses and behave this way. But they're probably all at yours because your son knows that you won't stand up and take the control back in your household.
Your son is not just watching a big game...he's playing one too. And you're his primary opponent.
My advice...go into the room where they are watching the game, unplug the TV. Announce that everyone that doesn't live there is to go home immediately. and put your son on cleaning duty until the house is back in order. No TV, No phone, NO video games, No music, No nothing until things are back as they should be.
Also...he could do with a good grounding.
Good luck sweetie. You have every right to take control of your home.
