I will have to look this up, but doesn't the SU winner cover at a pretty crazy clip?  

The only two I can remember in recent history covering but not going to Disneyland are Carolina vs. New England and the T.O. Eagles.

The record for ONE player returning to consecutive Super Bowls is FIVE IN A ROW.  Gale Gilbert, a back-up QB, was there in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994 with the Bills and 1995 with the Chargers.  Poor baztard LOST ALL FIVE GAMES!!!!!

I think it's pretty common knowledge Minnesota has the chance to be the FIRST team to play in their home stadium.Not sure how many other teams had the same opportunity over the years but it has never happened.

On the same note, the Jaguars have a chance to break a jinx...

Only four NFL teams have NEVER appeared in a Super Bowl.
Browns, Lions, Texans, Jaguars.

Cool should have realized that as a fan of the expansion Jags..(GB is my team since little kid and Ice Bowl) Jags were +400 to make the playoffs pre-season.If I went to Vegas this year I may have had a $100 on it on a good day,but it looked rough with all the Bortles has to go talk..Did post on the VMB to others it was a decent line..Have no idea what their SB odds are.

There were a few years I was a part of that 10%.

 Why do they start the game so late? I'm on the left coast so it's not even that bad for me, but why not start it around 1pm PT? Or better yet, move it to Saturday as has been suggested many times.

Oldest Head Coach to lead his team into a Super Bowl game?  Bill Belichick was 64 when he won in 2017.  He'll extend that record to age 65 now in 2018.

Sneak Peek at 2018 Super Bowl Commercials...

Stella Artois:
The AB InBev brand's "Taps" commercial stars Matt Damon and highlights how viewers can help provide people with access to clean drinking water by purchasing a limited-edition Stella Artois Chalice.

Doritos vs. Mountain Dew:
Morgan Freeman and Peter Dinklage will "face off" to promote Doritos' new spicy Blaze chips and Mountain Dew's clear soft drink.

Groupon:

"Girl's Trip" star Tiffany Haddish loves Groupon. So it would only makes sense that the comedian be named its new celebrity spokeswoman.


Skittles:
The "most exclusive Super Bowl ad ever" will be shown during the game only to Marcos Menedez, of Canoga Park, California. Viewers will be able to watch Menendez’s reaction to the ad via a livestream on Skittles’ Facebook page.


M & M's:
Also teasing reactions to ads, M & M's tapped four critics who voted for the Critics’ Choice Awards to react to it's Super Bowl commercial.


Pepsi:
Supermodel Cindy Crawford will drink a Pepsi for the Super Bowl once again, recreating her iconic 1992 Big Game spot.

Once again I find myself in the unusual position of being wrong.

My sincerest apologies to the great State of Louisiana.

You have been the Guests in a Super Bowl record TEN times.

1970, 1972, 1975, 1978, 1981, 1986, 1990, 1997, 2002, 2013.

Let the record show that this grave error was indeed corrected and I shall be much more diligent in double and triple checking my sources before posting.
