Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘Super Bowl’ as in the Los Angeles Rams have done it as in Cooper Kupp, Matthew Stafford, Odell Beckham (!), Sean McVay, Aaron Donald. And they got to do it in their home stadium. McVay may now retire. The ratings are here so everyone can forget about the horrible week that Roger Goodell had. Odell Beckham Jr gets vindication and then looks like he tore his ACL. And the biggest story of the night — the Rams went all in for Matthew Stafford, and it worked. (19:00) The Super Bowl commercials are what I was there for. Let’s talk about some of the big ones! Everything has changed about them. They used to be the thing everyone couldn’t wait to see. Now companies are paying $7M for a 30-second spot, but they tweet it before they air! (32:50) Review: Licorice Pizza. (40:45) NPPOD. Let’s finish with some more Super Bowl takeaways: the missed calls by the refs were bad. The offensive pass interference not called on Tee Higgins; the calls on the Bengals during the Rams last drive. Why are the calls made late in games that wouldn’t be called during any other game?
