Above the fold
Pass the Alka Seltzer
The Super Bowl and the Super Bowl party (not in that order) took its toll on the BBR staff. Here’s ten observations from afar.
- You have to be sick of watching Brady and his pearly whites accept the MVP Trophy by now don’t you?
- Tampa Bay won with Brady, but they won because of their defense. That side of the ball has been ferocious for two months now.
- The commercials used to help during a boring game. Used to…..
- Twenty five thousand fans and thirty thousand cut outs watched the game live. What do the cutouts do really? Weird times.
- Did you bet the prop that KC would score no touchdowns in the game? If you did, a one buck wager paid you back 500 of them.
- There was a lot of maskless celebration going on post game. The New Orleans Saints will get fined for it. They always do. It’s like Jerry Tarkanian once said, “every time North Carolina recruits illegally Cleveland St gets put on probation.”
- Maybe a great defense can still beat a great offense. If so, look out for the LA Rams next year. Stafford just needs throw some game management passes and an occasional zinger or two.
- The Waste Management Phoenix Open never disappoints the day of the SB. The blue sky and green grass contrasted againsted the desert tan sand makes most of the rest of the U.S. yearn for warmer days.
- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Lori Locust and Maral Javadifar become the first female assistant coaches to win a Super Bowl. While referee Sarah Thomas became the first female official to work a Super Bowl. One of our overserved guests remarked upon learning this, and we quote, “whoop tee do.” Our government is likely using facial recognition to out him(or her) as we speak.
- Who’s going to win the SB next year? The Chiefs, listed at +550 at Caesars Sportsbook, are the favorite to win Super Bowl LVI. The Green Bay Packers are next at +900, followed by the champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers at +1100. But, before you drop too much coin on one of them realize that Tampa Bay was +5000 this time last year.
Plop, plop. Fizz, fizz.

Engage. Enrage. Enjoy.
I always get a kick out of your takes. The Shark, Jerry Tarkanian was always one that would rub the NCAA’s noses in it!
His witticism and criticism bit like he did on his towel.
The commercials were so disappointing. And who cares the skin color of a coach or the gender of a ref? The less our nation focuses on that crap the better.
Devin White for VIP!
VIP or MVP? Pre med….pre law…
It was great to recognize black coaches, female coaches and a female referee. I’m looking forward to the SB that we recognize a white defensive back playing in the big game.
Surely that cannot be far off.
