    Or the most boring, depending on how you look at it, I guess. That said, Dickson's had a few neat plays. On this play, they faked a punt and he took off. He put his shoulder down and layed into a Lions defender and got a first down. Flashes of his AFL days there...



    Then his double punt. More AFL showing...

    Michael Irvin gets pulled off Super Bowl LVII coverage on NFL Network after report of misconduct toward woman

    Former Cowboys star Michael Irvin was part of NFL Network's Super Bowl coverage on Monday night, but he won't take part in any other Super Bowl coverage going forward after being pulled from the network following an alleged complaint about his conduct.

    According to the Dallas Morning News, a woman at Irvin's hotel made a complaint about the Pro Football Hall of Famer following an encounter with him on Sunday. It's not exactly clear what happened during the encounter, but NFL Media did confirm that Irvin has been pulled from its coverage of the Super Bowl this week.

    Not much sense watching the game if we already know the final score.

    Prisco's 2023 Super Bowl pick: Chiefs, Eagles QBs put on a show as heavyweight showdown goes down to the wire

    Prisco's 2023 Super Bowl pick: Chiefs, Eagles both score at least 30 in thriller as best QB prevails in end

    Give me the best quarterback in the league on the biggest stage. Mahomes will close out the season with the award trifecta: League MVP, Super Bowl MVP and another ring to add to his first one.

    The Chiefs dynasty will be in full force come late Sunday evening.

    The Eagles are 1.5-point favorites

    Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes adds to legacy, wins his 2nd MVP award

    Mahomes was the easy pick for MVP. His first MVP season in 2018 was a story that took over the NFL. He was in his first season as the Chiefs' starter and threw 50 touchdowns. His second MVP season was even better, in some ways.

    Mahomes threw for 5,250 yards, a career high, and 41 touchdowns. He did that after Tyreek Hill, who was an All-Pro receiver this season, was traded to the Miami Dolphins. Mahomes' supporting cast took a huge step back and he set an NFL single-season record for combined passing, rushing and receiving yards.

    This Super Bowl is the first in a state with legal sports betting

    For the first time ever, the Super Bowl is being held in a state where sports betting is legal — and at a stadium with its own sportsbook.

    Why it matters: The milestone game at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, represents America's — and the NFL's — vastly evolved stance on gambling.

    State(s) of play: Arizona is one of 33 states (plus Washington, D.C.) with a live, legal sports betting market. It ranks 10th in total handle (wagers accepted) among all states since PASPA was overturned in 2018, per Legal Sports Report.

    The intrigue: 50.4 million U.S. adults are expected to wager $16 billion on Super Bowl LVII, per the American Gaming Association. Both figures are roughly double last year's record tally.


    • Some of those bets will be placed at the BetMGM Sportsbook on the State Farm Stadium grounds.
    • It's one of 11 in-venue sportsbooks across the country and the first (of two) at an NFL stadium.


    ___________

    Sports betting has risen tenfold in three years. Addiction experts fear the next opioid crisis

    The sports betting market has multiplied tenfold in three years and may have reached $7 billion in 2022. More than half of the nation can now legally gamble on sports. Fifty million Americans are expected to bet on the upcoming Super Bowl.

    Addiction experts fear a coming national epidemic to rival the opioid crisis.

    “Gambling is a very different addiction from drugs or alcohol,” said Lia Nower, a professor and director of the Center for Gambling Studies at Rutgers University. “If I’m drunk or high, at some point my family is going to figure it out. With gambling, I can be sitting with my kids, watching cartoons, and gambling away my house, my car, everything I own, on my mobile phone. How would you know?”

    Native Americans are protesting Kansas City Chiefs ahead of Super Bowl

    Native Americans are doubling down on protests over the Kansas City Chiefs' appropriation of Indigenous cultures ahead of the team's face-off against the Philadelphia Eagles at the Super Bowl on Sunday.

    The big picture: The push is part of a larger movement to end the use of racist stereotypes and sports traditions rooted in the cultural appropriation of Indigenous people who were systematically wiped out by white colonizers.

    State of play: The team's name comes from former Kansas City mayor Harold Roe Bartle, who called himself "chief" as part of the so-called Tribe of Mic-O-Say, which he founded in the 1920s.


    • The Tribe of Mic-O-Say, which is affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America and still exists today, has long-perpetrated made-up narratives, imageries and ceremonies that relied on racist tropes and encouraged its members to "play Indian."
    • The Kansas City Chiefs franchise fully embraced the name, which spun off into appropriation that included the use of an arrowhead logo, a so-called "tomahawk chop" and "war drum," face paint, headdresses and other Indigenous symbols. On Super Bowl Sunday, the team will sport white jerseys with the arrowhead logo and the initials KC.
    • In the mid-1980s, Chiefs fans also began using a made-up "war chant" popularized by Florida State University.


    Driving the news: Native Americans, led by the coalition Arizona to Rally Against Native Mascots, plan to stake out in protest outside State Farm Stadium in Arizona this week.


    • Several Indigenous advocates from Kansas City are expected to join as well.


    What they're saying: "Native American mascots, including nicknames, logos, and costumes of Native American people in sports, promote stereotypes and dehumanize Native People," the coalition said in a press release about the demonstration.


    • "While fans can feel good about their team as they appropriate and mock Native people, real and actual Native people endure the consequences ... Native people are stereotypes, hate-crimed, and their voices are drowned out."


    Worth noting: An art gallery owner in Scottsdale, Arizona was captured on camera harassing a group of Native American performers as they were attempting to film for the Super Bowl this week.


    • The video shows him chanting in a mocking manner and saying "MAGA Country" at one point, per Fox 10.




    Flashback: When the Chiefs last played the Super Bowl in 2020, the team faced similar calls to ban the use of tribal headdresses and symbols, change its name and end the "tomahawk chop" and "war chant."




    Don't forget: Several other sports teams have taken steps to rebuild their brands in recent years.

    How NFL chooses Super Bowl cities

    The big picture: The process begins with the NFL gauging hosting interest across all of its clubs, Matt Shapiro, vice president of events strategy for the NFL, told Axios. Teams will work with their cities to determine interest, too.


    • The NFL will analyze "what might make sense for each year" and compare it with future plans and previously-announced cities, Shapiro said.
    • The league will then work with the Fan Engagement and Major Events Advisory Committee, which is a group of 11 different NFL clubs represented by owners and presidents, to review the potential cities.
    • Lastly, the NFL will put recommendations before NFL ownership for a vote.
    • The NFL can announce the location "once there has been an affirmative vote," Shapiro said.


    Worth noting: The timeline to select a city can vary depending on circumstance, Shapiro said.

    How NFL determines cities, venues for the Super Bowl

    Zoom in: Weather, stadium quality, and the mix of hotels and nearby venues are main factors for the selecting a city, Shapiro said.


    • "Super Bowl is not just Super Bowl Sunday," he said. "There's a tremendous amount of events throughout the week."
    • The NFL will also consider how long it's been since a city hosted the big game, Shapiro said.
    • Local partnership and support also play a factor — "politically, logistically and otherwise," he said.
    • This year's Super Bowl Host Committee committed to $45 million in spending, committee president and CEO Jay Parry told Axios Phoenix. That's compared to $28 million for the 2015 game and about $13 million in 2008.

    Super Bowl bonus: How much extra money do the winners and losers make?

    When the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles face off at the Super Bowl on Sunday, only one team will leave with the Lombardi Trophy. But the losers — and even some players who don’t even clock a single second of game time — will leave a big bonus paycheck.

    That’s because of a provision in the NFL’s bargaining agreement with the Players Association. The agreement stipulates players on the winning team earn an extra $157,000 for playing in the Super Bowl, while players on the losing team earn $82,000.

    That may not be a lot of money for the teams’ stars on multi-million dollar contracts, but just that one check easily tops the median U.S. household income, which was $70,784 in 2021.

    Shaping up to be a high scoring game. 14-14 now just into the second quarter. Hurts and Mahomes both look good. But a strip of Hurts leads to a fumble and a KC TD. Go Chiefs!!

    Shame that a penalty decided the game, though.

    113 million watched Super Bowl LVII, Fox says

    A whopping 113 million people watched Super Bowl LVII, played at State Farm Stadium in Arizona on Sunday, according to Fox Sports.

    This year’s Super Bowl audience watching the Kansas City Chiefs defeat the Philadelphia Eagles was the largest in six years, ranking the event as the most-watched Super Bowl since the 2017 battle when the Eagles defeated the New England Patriots. That game was also on Fox, the media company noted, citing early Nielsen Media Research data.

    Full data from Nielsen will be available on Tuesday.

    Fox Sports said the 113 million figure represents viewers across broadcast television, including Fox and Fox Deportes, as well as other digital viewers on Fox streaming services and NFL properties.

    The Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show, starring singer and songwriter Rihanna, drew an average of 118.7 million viewers across TV and digital platforms, the company said.

    Nielsen

    Sunday's Super Bowl attracted an average of 113 million viewers on U.S. television and digital platforms, the second-highest audience in the history of the National Football League's championship game, the Nielsen ratings agency said on Tuesday.

    ^As much as I despise Murdoch and the way he so easily controls the minds of imbeciles around the world while cashing in on the ratings and advertising revenue they generate, nobody does better sports coverage than Fox. Well certainly for the sports he controls coverage of that I watch anyway, he knows what the fans want to see and provides it.
