Ads, food and gambling galore − 5 essential reads for the Super Bowl

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.

This year’s unique features
Timothy Hagle, University of Iowa
Each installment of the Iowa caucuses has unusual or particularly interesting aspects.
Because the Democrats have an incumbent in the White House, there was little activity on their side of the aisle.
As a result, Iowa Democrats abandoned the traditional caucuses in favor of a mail-in procedure.
And Iowa voters, as a group, let him get away with it – or even rewarded him for it.
