Way back in the year 1849, at the height of the California Gold Rush, plains Indians mainly allowed the white prospectors to peacefully pass over their land. There were a lot of them going by, but they were just passing through. Later the Sioux decided to put a halt to this trespassing, and we had that whole Custer thing. Fast-forward to today when the namesake descendants of these two parties meet to do battle in this year’s Super Bowl, with the San Francisco 49ers versus the Kansas City Chiefs.
Let that not particularly politically correct preamble serve as a launching point for the flights of fancy served up here. Let’s face it folks, this game is all about the hype. This year the NFL has settled upon the traditional two full weeks of pregame hype. So, without much further ado, let the games begin.
She knew he was a killa, first time that she saw him. And we knew… this Super Bowl would be our end game. You love the players, and you love the game, but whether you are cheer captain for your team or just butt planted on the back bench (read couch), let the games begin. Are you ready for it? Baby, let the games begin. We’ve got you covered for a new way to bejewel your Super Bowl experience. Wait for it… bingo. Super Bowl bingo, Taylor’s version of course.
This year’s game is being played in Las Vegas, Sin City. Holding the game there is like a coming out party for the NFL. There are all sorts of predictions, also-known-as bets surrounding this big game. Besides the glaringly obvious one, like who is going to win, but I’ll leave that one to the experts. What’s the over-under on the number of Taylor Swift VIP box shots?
The true highlight for this game, at least for me, is the food. As soon as I am done writing this post, I am headed to the grocery store. Tempting goodies have been on display there for weeks now. It should be mobbed. I sure hope so, because I am looking for some of that pregame energy flooding through the shopping aisles. I have a bit of a problem this year though, because I am also looking for both low-sodium and low-fat snacks. Please pass the celery.
No recount of this game can be complete without discussing its commercials. Usually, I spend the weeks prior to the game hunting out previews of these mini dramas. Willing to endure repetitive YouTube ads, again and again, just to watch them once. This year I have been pretty good though. I was weak only once, when I caved to see the new E*Trade babies play pickle ball. Maybe next year Declan will be old enough to play pickle ball too? What do you think?
In a post all about Super Bowl LVIII (and Taylor Swift) I really should talk about football some. Let’s see here, I have already covered the two teams that are playing, and I really should give a shoutout to Taylor’s boyfriend. But I am already over 500+ words and I really should give it a break now. So, let’s break for commercials. We will be right back tomorrow, with the post-game show.
