The man's voice is menacing, and British, as he says, 'Today we celebrate the first glorious anniversary of the Information Purification Directives' in a 'garden of pure ideology, where each worker may bloom secure from the pests obeying contradictory thoughts.'

The last 11 Super Bowl champions finished with an average scoring-defense rank of 5.3. Recent winners fit that pattern too, highlighting the importance of defense in championship success.

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

This is the time to make money," said bar owner Jasbir Singh, who saw business jump 250% above normal last weekend.

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.

Online prediction market Kalshi hit a daily record on Super Bowl Sunday, surpassing $1bn in trading volume, the company announced on Tuesday. Kalshi's CEO, Tarek Mansour, called it an incredible weekend, telling CNBC that Kalshi was the biggest brand of the Super Bowl this year, without running a Super Bowl ad. Kalshi trading volume during the game was up 2,700% year over year. More than $100m were bets on Bad Bunny's opening song and $45m on which artists would perform with him on stage.

one of the worst, EVER!

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!

48 Hills teamed up with El Tecolote and URL Media to capture the scene around the Super Bowl in Santa Clara.

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?
