Hi, this is Josh Levina, and this is Slate's sports podcast, Hang Up and Listen for the week of February 8th, 2016.

On today's show, we'll talk about what was a pretty miserable Super Bowl, one in which the Denver Broncos won 24 to 10, frustrating Cam Newton and the Panthers with their defensive might and their ability to fumble the ball less often than Carolina did.

of it when you both kissed Papa John. That's what really got people excited.

Papa John is the wiping your hands on your butt of pizza. Yeah. Did you think the Budweiser

emoji was too much? I thought that, yeah, a little over the top.

I also thought that when you guys, you know, demonstrated that you were really well qualified to talk about this,

and all of a sudden Chris Martin just crouched down in between you, stealing your thunder, that was uncool.
