Not for the game, but I just bought a pork butt for around $1/#. Seemed like a good price to me.
It is probably NOT a good time to buy chicken wings.
I quit watching the Stupor Bowel back in 1986; think of all the money I’ve saved. Heh.
Correction - more like $1.50. Still a great price.
I won’t be watching. I quit when that guy was taking a knee. It’s over for me.
Clueless Timothy Nash of Townhall.com, another Leftist outlet that gives the mostly unconstitutional government a free pass while knocking free enterprise and the free market.
There is only ONE source of inflation: government printing presses.
And there is only one source of relentless price hikes: unconstitutional and stupid government passing unconstitutional and stupid laws like unconstitutional and stupid wage and price controls like minimum wage.
The free market including Super Bowl 2024 IS NOT the cause of record high consumer prices. Unconstitutional, and thus, illegal government is the cause.
That’s the trouble with a booming economy - nothing is a affordable.
I watch to determine which products not to purchase. Going to a party with brownies and $2.50 worth of fruit.
There’s nothing entrepreneurial about owning a franchise in a cartel that is financed heavily by taxpayers.
NFL owners are “entrepreneurial” in the same way the Clinton crime syndicate is.
When you get right down to it, the Super Bowl is simply the NFL championship game. Yet it has evolved with so much Hype far beyond it being a football game. Millions of people who don’t watch a football game all year, will watch the Super Bowl.
The NFL sure has done great marketing for this game over the years.
Halftime show. Commercials. What game?
Countless times team owners have extorted bigger and better stadiums and bigger and better tax breaks from host (think of that in terms of parasitic infection!) cities by threatening to leave "unless..."
Yep. When the 1st “knee” was taken I was done
I cannot wait for the “Swift Bowl” to be over. Then I can actually look at a sports page and not see her as the lead story.
Your average NFL game has something like 12-15 minutes of actual competitive activity on the field. Turning that into a 3+ hour television commercial (longer for the Super Bowl) takes a lot of brains among the league's leadership and a lot of mediocrity among their viewers.
That’s what the NFL did.
It took over all day Sunday decades ago.
People gathering for tailgating in the morning, games in the afternoon.
With pre-game, post-game analysis.
Then it was the lead topic on local nightly newscast if you lived in a city with a football 🏈 team.
Every grocery store built large displays of merchandise in concert.
It’s hard not to get completely caught up in it as so many people are into it.
I absolutely HATE to use a paraphrase and avoid it all the time.
This is is the only one that has “parties” - so in this extremely-rare case:
Luke 21:34-36
The Message
34-36 “But be on your guard. Don’t let the sharp edge of your expectation get dulled by parties and drinking and shopping. Otherwise, that Day is going to take you by complete surprise, spring on you suddenly like a trap, for it’s going to come on everyone, everywhere, at once. So, whatever you do, don’t fall asleep at the wheel. Pray constantly that you will have the strength and wits to make it through everything that’s coming and end up on your feet before the Son of Man.”

And now a regular version
Luke 21:34-36
Evangelical Heritage Version
Be Ready!
34 “Watch yourselves or else your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and the worries of this life, and that day may come on you suddenly.[a] 35 For it will come like a trap on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Stay alert all the time, praying that you may be able to escape all these things that are going to happen and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”

Costco had tons of wings at their usual price.
Sorta like Turkeys around Thanksgiving...plenty around at very reasonable prices.
I do recall wing shortages a few years ago...that was dire!
So we are doing some wings this year with a bit of cole slaw and some beers...still watching carbs, so oven baked wings are the ticket...
I really hope they show Taylor Swift in her red jersey - A LOT!

Super overrated
