The NFL's Championship almost went to warmer climates long before the Super Bowl was ever invented.
Way back in 1938 the NFL owners gathered to decide some important matters - including a response to a proposal from an American icon - Damon Runyan. Have a new post up on Substack how it almost happened.
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- 10 books every high school (or college) student should read. Good list - I'd add the Almanack of Naval Ravikant and the Psychology of Money.
- Many NFL players had no idea who Bad Bunny was.
- Valero pays $1.1 billion fee to leave California. Why anyone would remain there is beyond me.
- Super Bowl LX: How the Seahawks shut down the Patriots. Long but interesting autopsy of the Super Bowl.
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Jonathan Turley: Bill Clinton agreed to testify to Congress about Jeffrey Epstein but now wants the definition of "agreed." If the Clintons fail to appear for questioning, release the facts that are known to the public to remind folks the seriousness of the issue, then issue arrest warrants.
- 59 Super Bowl rings: 59 stories.
- Trump prods Congress to nationalize election integrity, but Supreme Court may deliver first.
- Rational Optimist: Shady stuff is happening underwater. Some undersea facts and developments to ponder.
The NFL learns why there's no such thing as a free lunch.
Many NFL owners, who are Roger Goodells' bosses, have become more upset about the choice of Bad Bunny as the half-time entertainment. This disillusionment is being led by Patriots owner Robert Kraft, whose team will be participating in Sunday's Super Bowl. The halftime show was supposed to be something that adds to the big game not a distraction.
