It sounds a little hard to believe, but there was an actual football season that happened, which means that the Super Bowl is happening this Sunday, February 7. And even though Patrick Mahomes is quite dishy, I hope Tom Brady wins it for Generation X. Wait no… I just remembered he wore had a MAGA hat at one point, so IT’S THE CHIEFS ALL THE WAY BABY (I have not watched a single game this season).
Here are a few links so your (SOCIALLY DISTANT) Super Bowl party goes really well:
- Super Bowl 55 is happening this Sunday, February 7 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida (which happens to be the Bucs’ home turf). The show starts at 6:30, but you know you’ll be watching hours before that. Click here to watch online.
- Do you want to skip the pigskin pageantry and get to the good stuff? Click here to watch ALL the ads this year and click here to go to Discovery’s Puppy Bowl. You can also vote for most pupular and yes, I squeed when I typed that. Good job, Discovery.
