I didn’t get a pass to media day, so I didn’t get a chance to ask Chiefs head coach Andy Reid about how he tends to his mustache.

Key Points: 
  • I didn’t get a pass to media day, so I didn’t get a chance to ask Chiefs head coach Andy Reid about how he tends to his mustache.
  • But my colleagues and I were able to ask an all-pro lineup of scholars to write about a range of football-related topics, from the partisan food divide to the numbers behind the biggest gambling bonanza in league history.

1. Flag, you’re it

  • A year ago, league officials decided to shake up the annual showcase.
  • It would no longer be a tackle football game.
  • But Woods points to a gender divide and a political divide that could end up clouding the sport’s future.

2. X’s, O’s and Z’s

  • In 2011, former NFL cornerback Sam Shields was a rookie playing for a Green Bay Packers team that had made the Super Bowl.
  • The night before the big game, he tossed and turned.
  • Something tells me I’d be a lot like Shields.

3. Going all in on gambling

  • Or maybe you’re betting on Reba McEntire’s national anthem to last longer than 90.5 seconds.
  • The country’s gambling mania has been aided, in part, by the Supreme Court’s 2018 ruling that overturned a federal ban on sports betting.
  • The NFL has gone all in on its embrace of gambling, forging billion-dollar partnerships with the country’s top sportsbooks.

4. At least they aren’t serving donkey meat

  • And even the Super Bowl – one of the few communal events left in a polarized, atomized nation – can’t avoid the creep of partisanship.
  • Maybe you could just serve salmon – a food that, according to Dyck and Pearson-Merkowitz’s research, is “resistant to partisan cues.” Grim times, indeed.

5. ByeDaddy

  • That’s one reason companies are willing to fork over so much cash for a coveted slot – as much as US$7 million for a 30-second spot.
  • Ferrell point out, many regulars on the airwaves of the Super Bowl, such as GoDaddy and Ford, are missing from this year’s lineup.
