So it got me thinking about all the other people who host "watch parties" and invite friends over for a big game. So naturally, instead of wanting to talk about sports, I just want to hear about the drama surrounding your sports social gatherings. So tell me... Do any of you have a disasterous "watch party" story to share? Did someone try to propose during the halftime show and get rejected
Congratulations to Sam Darnold, the first USC quarterback to win the Super Bowl. I will always remember Sam's amazing performance in the 2017 Rose Bowl game against Penn State. Sam was a redshirt freshman that year. He had the heart of a champion then and still does now. Sam Darnold's odyssey, from first-round bust to Super Bowl champion, is straight out of a Hollywood movie.
The raspy baritone vocalist was recorded confronting fellow rappers Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda after they allege Ja Rule fired first by tossing his seat pillow at them. "This is the pillow Ja Rule threw at me," Tony Yayo says in a clip before Uncle Murda stands over a vacant chair, saying that "this is where he was sitting before we got him out of here."
The 61-year-old is in search of something bigger than himself, in both a spiritual and physical sense. Wedged between open bars and long tables of catered food, professional football players young and old mingle with assorted VIPs. We're at the Adobe-sponsored NFL House, a party that on a normal day we would never sniff. But it is not a normal day; it is the day before the Super Bowl. For this weekend, we are not normal people. We are VIPs.
Congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks on their victory, but all they and the New England Patriots proved is that sometimes the big game is nothing but a big boring slog. Especially compared to the 2025 World Series in which the Toronto Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers told a story full of drama, excitement and memorable moments over a seven game series that went down to the wire.
Every year, brands reportedly drop millions of dollars on ads with famous faces for a coveted commercial spot during the Super Bowl, which felt especially uninspired & dystopian this time around, in our opinion. (Anyone catch that creepy Ring security system ad about lost dogs? Um, police-state much?) But leave it to language-learning app Duolingo to make the biggest impression on game day for a fraction of the cost, with not a famous face to be found-just one famous body!
As has been the case for the last few years, basically every ad featured celebs and big-name actors selling out to help promote AI, donuts, crackers, and more. And almost all of it fucking sucked shit. It's depressing to watch talented actors sell out. So many of the ads were for awful products. Nothing about them was even fun or memorable.
During the fourth quarter of the Patriots' loss to the Seahawks in Super Bowl LX, a shirtless man ran onto the field waving his arms as he dodged those who were chasing him. There was one man, however, who he couldn't outrun. Patriots rookie receiver Kyle Williams chased the streaker down. The shirtless man lost his footing and fell to the ground where several people helped subdue him and lead him off of the field.
This year's Super Bowl highlighted a striking reality: companies are willing to spend record sums for cultural relevance they often lack the organizational capability to sustain. With viewership projected to rival last year's 127-plus million U.S. audience, yesterday's Super Bowl LX reinforced the event's unrivaled power to concentrate mass attention as the Seahawks and Patriots took the field and Bad Bunny delivered a halftime performance engineered to dominate global conversation.
Billie Joe Armstrong belting out American Idiot during the pregame show under his motionless meringue of fogey-blond hair: were they a sign? A New England Patriots team who were neither favored to win nor widely reviled, then promptly repaid a grateful public by losing: was this the Super Bowl which proved that history really can move on, that America is not fated to remain hostage to the tremors and hatreds of the past?
I have my own moral code, my own moral imperative, that I have to answer to at the end of the day, as a wife and mother, and I believe in my ability and responsibility to do this, and that's why I'm here,
To no one's surprise, Sunday's Super Bowl was a star-studded event. A host of big names in business and tech flocked to Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, to watch the New England Patriots battle it out with the Seattle Seahawks. The game, which saw the Seahawks winning the NFL championship, was highly anticipated, with Grammy-winning Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny headlining the halftime show. Here's who showed up.
According to Guiness World Records, the fewest net passing yards allowed in a game came when the Dallas Cowboys held the Denver Broncos to 35 at Super Bowl XII following the 1977 season. Broncos quarterback Craig Morton completed four of 11 passes in the first half for 39 yards and four interceptions. After Morton started the third quarter with four more incomplete passes and a sack, he was replaced by Norris Weese, who completed four of 10 passes for 22 yards.
