The 5 Things You Need To Know About The Super Bowl

The one time of year it’s encouraged to cover everything in cheese and skip the actual game but watch the commercials and halftime concert.

Ah Super Bowl Sunday, the one time of year it’s encouraged to cover everything in cheese and skip the actual game but watch the commercials and halftime concert.

Best day ever?

THE FIVE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE SUPER BOWL

1. This Super Bowl will feature the first ever male cheerleaders on the sidelines. The Los Angeles Rams have two male cheerleaders. Other teams have had men on their stunt team but never male a cheerleader. SPIRIT FINGERS

2. The Super Bowl is a great time to place your money on a prop bet, essentially betting anything not involving the game. Some of those bets include if anthem singer Gladys Knight be wearing a skirt, gown or dress during her rendition of the anthem, which song will be the first song of Maroon 5’s halftime performance or if the roof of Mercedes-Benz Stadium will be open. AT LEAST YOU’LL BE ENTERTAINED WHILE LOSING YOUR MONEY

3. A hot storyline this Super Bowl? Age. Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay, 33, is the youngest head coach to ever appear in the Super Bowl. His quarterback, Jared Goff, 24, is the fourth youngest quarterback in history to start a Super Bowl. On the other hand, the Patriots have a few seasoned veterans at the helm. Head coach Bill Belichick started coaching in the NFL before Sean McVay was born. And Tom Brady? He’ll be the oldest player in Sunday's game at 41. IT’S A NUMBERS GAME

4. Over 1.35 billion chicken wings are consumed on Super Bowl Sunday, but if you want chicken during the big game in Atlanta, you can’t go to the Chick-fil-A in the stadium because it’s closed on Sundays, even Super Bowl Sunday. WHERE’S THE BEEF?

5. Maroon 5, Travis Scott and Big Boi will be performing during halftime at this year’s game but do you know how much they make for performing at the Super Bowl? Zero. Their expenses are paid but they are not paid a performance fee. ALL EYES ON YOU

The Super Bowl is this Sunday, February 3 in Atlanta. Kickoff is at 6:30 PM EST on CBS.

BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE

It’s not all about the gridiron. Today we’re buzzing about the good and bad news for Maroon 5, embracing the drunkest tournament in golf and who shared an x-rated x-ray. READ

Laboring For The Weekend

Wake up, have a cup of coffee and do a happy dance becuase Friday and a three-day weekend are here. Out of common courtesy, please put some clothes on first.

Thanks for that mental image,

College Football

It’s going to be a wild ride. Buckle up for a big weekend in football. Some teams have already played this week but there are still great games ahead including the ESPN College GameDay’s game of the week - Florida State (#3) vs. Alabama (#1). Rankings wise it’s one of the best opening games ever produced.
Chicken for everyone! The Florida State – Alabama game will be played in a neutral location and will be the first game played in the new Atlanta Falcons stadium (NFL – National Football League). Don’t worry, because it’s a Saturday game, the stadium’s controversial Chick-fil-A location will be open.

MLB (Major League Baseball)

Hometown heroes. After a long week away due to Hurricane Harvey, the Houston Astros are finally home and will play at Minute Maid Park this weekend. While they’re home, they’ll deliver more than 10,000 shirts and tickets to this weekend’s games to evacuated Houstonians staying at the convention center.
Here’s what other teams are doing to support the flood relief efforts.

Overtime

Earlier this week, we reported that Houston Texans’ JJ Watt (NFL) started a fund, offering to match $100,000, with a goal of raising $200,000 for relief efforts. He has slightly exceeded that goal. He’s raised over $13.6 million so far this week. Now that’s a return on investment. Here’s how you can help.

Sideline stat

College football = big money. More than $70 million will be paid out to teams this opening weekend. Whether it’s payouts for neutral site games or the travel bonus for a power conference team playing a lower division team, their pocketbooks thanks you.

Coaches’ corner

NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) loves a good theme party and this week’s race, the Bojangles Southern 500, will have a throwback theme. The cars’ paint schemes will be from 1985-89. We can only hope the hair will be too.
