Welcome to the holiest of days, according to Vegas. With that in mind, I’ll toss some lines at you (that meant something different in the 80’s) and please note that Uncle Luigi’s may differ somewhat. Let’s Gambol With The Monies!
Chiefs are -1.5 favorites
The O/U is 48.5
Saquon to win MVP =250
SB MVP first “Thank You”? God is getting -210.
Kelce proposes to Taylor: +800
Oh, the game? Kelce over 6.5 catches gets you +120
A.J. Brown’s longest reception over 24.5 yards: -114
Goedert’s anytime TD: +310
Eagles total team TD’s: 2.5 (-310)
Kareem Hunt anytime TD: +150 (He’s scored in every playoff game he’s been in)
Hurts and Barkley combine for 200 rushing yards: +330
Jalen Carter gets a sack: +116
There’s just a few of them. Share below exactly how you’re making your fortune today. As well, let me know about your culinary/booze plans.
Like Cincinnati sports teams in a good year, its surprising better than it has any right to be.
I’m not gonna lie-there’s another thread up because I don’t know how to tell time.
I found a solution for Dok’s Singapore watching problem.
I don’t think you can just waltz into America’s foreign embassies anymore. Unless you are a Russian national, of course.
Wifey appropriated the entirety of Jamaican culture by making a delicious coconut milk/rice/chicken thingy. I couldn’t possibly be more disappointed in her.
Has Dok given us her predictions from the future yet?
Really worried about what the Commanders are going to demand of us, tbh…
Welp, it’s 9pm here. Do I….nap before kickoff?
TWO foreigners? Not comfortable with this trend.
“I want to know what double penetration is. I want you to show me.”
Two Foreigners
This is superb this early
Would YOU stay in Trump’s America?! If my Dad needed my help, I’d be out of here faster than you can say “Chemiserouge”.
Work travel but also I mean, not not thinking about it
After two years, we finally explained to my Dad’s brother that with his ALS, he cannot act as their mother’s estate’s executor.
“Can you still sign?” “I can’t move my hands.” “We only need your signature.” “I cannot move my hands.”
“Can you go to the lawyer’s office?” “I’m a quadriplegic.” “Well, Momshirt and Redshirt can drive you there. Would that be hard?” “Yes.”
I don’t need to watch the “Darmok” episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation; I lived it.
TNGs Darmok but the alien meme language has subtitles
I’m impressed he was able to email you back those answers in as quick as two years!
No, it wasn’t even that. His brother and cousin stopped by to visit Dad and we tricked him to go the 15 minutes to visit. Even seeing him in the bed with his arms and hands curled and stationary didn’t really give the message. We had to spoon feed it to him.
Early MVP awards to my uncle and 2nd cousin for assist.
Christ, that’s rough.
Goddamnit SoS don’t make me use up all my Ben Shapiro jokes before the game even starts.
But your specialty is dry humor.
Cookies are in the oven, beans are simmering. Smelling tasty up in this bitch.
Yesterday I made some black beans in chicken stock with hunks of pork belly thrown in. They are divine.
These are pintos with bacon, chili powder, cumin and chile de arbol. Killer.
Garlic Wings and BBQ Wings are in the freezer on Stand By. Running out to get Onion Rings and Ranch Dipping Sauce.

Using the word MOVE in your theme song is the most Philadelphia thing ever. Grease dem light poles, Go Birds!
If you’re watching Fox, there’s Bret Baier interviewing Lump right now.
In this house, it’s Puppy Bowl time.
It’s 4:22 am Monday morning here. I guess I should look for somewhere to watch, but I’m leaning towards missing the first half while eating breakfast and then risking that I’ll be able to find the second half on the hotel TV
Oh wow, so there are a bunch of places showing in in Singapore, but almost all of them require ticket purchase or advance reservation. Nope on that
Don’t do anything to get yourself caned. Unless it’s a thing you’re into.
I heard those folks don’t have a safe word.
It’s Monday there? Who won??/
The NFL
We brought home like four jars of kaya and only put a dent in one of them back home.
No Super Bowl party for me tonight, because to answer the question, yes, people get married on Super Bowl Sunday.
But the urinals will have the game on!
That’s just mean. Unless it’s like two chicks, then I can see it.
Christ, what a bunch of assholes
THIS SCOTLAND-IRELAND RUGBY MATCH I CALL IT AN UNPUBLISHED JANE AUSTEN NOVEL BECAUSE ONE OF THE PRINCIPALS IS NAMED DARCY GRAHAM.
Started so strong after the break and then nothing.
My sister bought some really cheap gross beer when she was here, going to have that and corn dogs for this shittay who gives a flying fuck Owl. Seems appropriate!
And weed, naturally. I still have standards!
Like a fucking lady!
Absofuckadoodlutely!
I am going without as we are going to a friends house for a no SuperBowl dinner.
Poor baby. Or lucky you!
Wife and I shoveled for more than an hour each.* We have a very large parking area because of my truck, wife’s pickup and youngest skull fracture kid’s fishing ice hut, snowmobile trailer, old pickup truck, old beater car, newer beater vehicle.
*so combined, we deserve this Bloody Mary, Cider, Beer, Martini, Scotch, Red Wine, Pepcid and Maker’s Mark
Seems like youngest should be shoveling.
He has an ATV with a plow as well but he’s currently running down to Toronto to pick up 16 skids of produce.
In this election?!
The Jets have reportedly informed Qaron they’re moving on from him.
So the Raiders seem like a natural fit.
.
I give this news four out of five Tonight Girlfriends.
The Owl thread is going to be called “litre reacts reasonably”, right?
Making wings on the Smoker gizmo today and gonna have some nachos too
Lunch will be late and will be leftover burgers.
Have already shoveled the front and the deck, so have started the chorin. Still some cleaning to do, never ends, before the game.
Undecided if I will have a drink drink or not. Not sure if I feel like it yet
And have no moneys on the game. Ima cheap bastard so hate the spending part more than the (possibility of) winning part
Hoping for a good game, something that’s competitive until late in the 4th
There will be no reacting reasonably. Those in Vegas saw me react for a regular season game. It was nowhere close to reasonable, not an angry guy but there was a lot of pacing, muttering and smoking. I’m staying home for the game because last time there was an incident at the train platform.
Yeah, it was a Jeckyll and Hyde situation man, you from cool and relaxed to a stress ball really fasr.
Imagine if you hadn’t given me a bag of edibles!
But he was resplendent in his Kevin Kolb jersey.
Flash back to the time the chiefs got flagged for roughing the passer after chris Jones’s hand grazed Tom Brady’s helmet

Fuck you Roger
Napoli plays here in a bit.
So I can never gamble again because of the year I hit on two of Sharky’s Squares.
And then two weeks later got scammed out of 900 bucks.
Shit, that Osweiler sleazebag got you too, huh?
I’ll day this: glad I’m not on duty on the other side of the Commonwealth later.
I have $20 on Go Birds (against a friend, so it’s legal or not?) plus a few Sharky Squares.
Go Birds.
Love your work!
It’s literally Superb Owl Sunday, and what does that mean? 12-hour shifts for the next three days!
So, anyone got any squares they need someone for?
We may as well use my curse for good. Let me bet on the chiefs
Our menu today is smoked turkey enchiladas, frijoles, Mexican rice and a batch of homemade cookies that you can read about right fucking here in 2 weeks.
Should be awesome.
I am going with Ribs and Drumsticks in the smoker. Made a rootbeer chipotle bbq sauce. Popcorn shrimp, burgers and meatballs.
Something called Madden Cruiser a Bayou Adventure with Bill Belicheck. Not quite the remake of Bayoo Billy.had in mind or appropriate for teens
“Pfft. Bayous are just another feminist hoax perpetrated by the compliant liberal media.” – Ben Shapiro
Loved that game, driving the jeep while avoiding dynamite being dropped from a helicopter.
Just waking up to finish the prep for cooking chicken tinga tacos and nachos for the. salute to everyone holding down the part yand commenting today and all season
OK, deep in the party prep, so signing off for now.
May all your bets hit, and may the Chiefs lose, preferably badly.
If I were a betting man, and I am not, I would take the Chiefs, the over, God as the 1st thank you, (because of course it will be Mahomes, of course it will), Philly under 2.5 TDs, and a KHuntish TD.
And I would very much hope to lose every single one of them.
I hope you’re wrong, but I fear you’re right.
my grandma gambling boyfriend went Chiefs and the over as final part of some pool he’s an , kinda rooting for granny to get the 2.1k but still not sure Chiefs win is worth it
Happy Hippo?

I am most looking forward to hearing from our long- lost and seldom seen friends today. That will be better than the game!
Me too! That’s pretty much the only thing I’ve enjoyed about Super Bowl Sunday for the last five years.
Fingers crossed for a Porky sighting.
I stretched after my jog this morning, but mostly stretched my legs. Didn’t do the above
I’m going to watch party, hosted by an Iggles fan who delivered on his promise that if Philly goes to the Owl etc. Etc. Will take there two bottles of prosecco and brownies. Same recipe for the brownies I took to work at the polls on last Election Day.
So expect a Chiefs blowout and, after the game, 47 signs an executive order in the Superdome to dismantle FEMA.
The Scots are getting destroyed by the Irish. Uggh
As God intended.
For the first time in like 50 years I have zero dollars bet on this game. Nothing. Nada. Nein.
This legalized sports gambling bullshit is going to ruin an entire generation of young, stupid adults and I’ll not be a part of it.
My second in command at work listens to sports talk radio and the kowtowing to gambling is sickening.
Standard response is I win every day by not gambling.
I think I never really had a taste for gambling. Losing money has always annoyed me more than winning money pleased me, and I never got the “rush” of having money at risk. I think I used to go to casinos once or twice a year out of a vague notion that it would make me cool like James Bond, but of course the reality is that I was just sitting at a cheap table with a bunch of drunk slobs. (Nothing against drunk slobs, mind you!)
Anyway, so today I’m just betting on some sous vide pork ribs, chicken liver pate, prosciutto, and a cheese plate to win big.
https://youtu.be/nHFiNkbWGEY?si=KMP4xxlVQRK4VuAW
Same. Gambling windfalls don’t give me much personal satisfaction. I mean, if I won like a poker tournament but casino gaming — I’m just more relieved to have not-lost than I am to have ‘won’ less than the odds say I deserve.
I used to gamble at casinos; craps and blackjack, but now that there’s a casino within short driving distance it just doesn’t appeal to me. Evidently the math nerd in me is yelling louder than the gambling junkie. As for sports betting, I know myself enough to stay the hell away so that I still have some money when I retire.
Wife and daughter bought me a sous vide setup for Christmas, and I’m excited to try it!
It’s awesome. I’ve got a couple of recipes from like 3 years ago.
I adore my sous vide stick. You can take the cheapest piece of beef from the grocery store, basically something that’s one grade above a used tire you’d find on the side of the road, and turn it into filet mignon.
I worked at a casino back in the Gay Nineties. I saw a guy drop dead at a slot machine he “just knew” was about to hit, had someone try to sell me their wedding ring for a couple of rolls of quarters, more than once saw people dragged out and arrested for leaving their babies in a car while they gambled for hours. I have zero interest.
I suppose the upside of the ascendance of sports gambling is that the clientele tends to be more meatheads and fewer little old ladies blowing their social security check. But anything that feeds addictive behavior is ultimately going to end up awful.
I was paying a bill yesterday at a Tobaccaria here, the state sponsored lottery outlets. I was sad to see so many folks my age and younger putting down money on a gamble I suspected a few of them could ill afford. Recreational is one thing, but desperate hope is often the other.
This one is directed at us Buddy…
I’ve added “Fromager” to my profile. You helped with that so thank you again.
Next time I see our cheese chick I’ll send you a resupply for this season.
Have you done bucatini caccio peppe?
Dude!
Cacio e pepe… This time with the correct spelling…
No I haven’t. I’ve done bucatini Amatriciana and I’ve done spaghetti cacio y pepe though.
Bucatini is amazing for its sauce absorption ability.
Yes it is. Cacio pepe made with pecorino Romano has been a highlight dish on the Italian cooking shows lately. It’s a simple but tricky dish to make as the cheese coagulation must be closely temperature and moisture controlled. Younger daughter has it down however and once you try it, you know why it’s so popular.
Truth. It can get grainy if done incorrectly. Very tricky but the pasta water is your best friend with that dish.
Yeah that’s the trick. Plus bucatini is the preferred pasta for that dish around here.
That Asiago was life changing.
Soon…
My first job this morning will be shoveling the driveway so as not to get sued by multiple guests who slip and fall over all the snow, (a whole 3″; not even Deanna Favre is impressed!), that fell last night.
That’s why I invite strippers to my parties instead of lawyers.
What about stripper lawyers? Asking for a friend.
Best I can do is a pole dancing enthusiast who works in the licensing side of the pharmaceutical industry.
Don’t forget to put out the Arsenal and pineapple flags!
Deanna might be impressed if the three inches can stay hard for more than 30 seconds.
I believe I made my betting strategy quite clear…

Feel like I maybe should have dropped more than $20 when consolation was selling at a rate of 6:1, though.

Welp…
Italian TV is covering the game live so I just might opt for their commentary. No way am I staying up for this one. But on a typical SNF game when I get up at 4 it’s halfway through the 3rd quarter. With the extended halftime show I’ll probably catch the second half totally. Raining here and it’s supposed to be raining all night. So it sounds like watching from the gym.
I only wish that Cormac McCarthy had lived long enough to see his view of human nature fully and completely validated.
WHY YES, Hippo is indeed on page 200 of “All the Pretty Horses” thanks for asking!!
[had a copy of that book hidden under his mattress when he was a teenager] – John Elway
Read that entire book during a 5+ hour tattoo sitting.
Couldn’t tell you what it was about, other than some guy having a pretty bad time in Mexico.
That entire series is fucking incredible and gut wrenchingly horrible.
You’ll fucking love it.
My wife is making monster cookies for the super bowl party next door.
I got the defect lawyers popping up with a new “expert” running around trying to drum up lawsuits because, according to his report I finally got my hands on, our joint-industry evaluation and repair manual doesn’t exist so, hey everybody, let’s just go with an opposite opinion that, literally, cuts up individual sentences from a 9 paragraph chapter to eliminate Shoukd with a stronger word of his uninformed opinion.
Trump needs to declare open season on attorneys and their experts. Addition by subtraction.
But it’s a great opportunity really. Our industry is pining for a new leader as we’ve just watched the previous generation age as gracefully in leadership as the Democratic Party. So I’m making my “to my lawyer” argument about everything misleading word and statement in his report. My first PM told me, “if you always prepare for a lawsuit, you’ll never have to get in one.” I’m not offering a dollar. I’m like, “if this house is wrong, every house is wrong and we’ve got a crisis — including in New Builds today.
So i am gonna try to finish that today during the game while my house is empty. My goal is to build the template of the response to his templates “report”.
I know you guys deal with low integrity professionals all the time so thx for hearing me on a Sunday. My world is usually like, doing real work.
Your attorneys should already know this, but asking professional experts for their tax and financial records, showing just how much income they make being professional experts, tends to drive out the charlatans, although it will take some time.
He’s ‘legit’. It’s just the way an ‘expert’ can be so obtuse but loud. But it’s good — I only know how to fight at one speed.
And when I do get this put to bed and run him out of town (for this chapter), I’m going to leave reviews about the college he works at explaining they employ instructors who, in the private sector, stamp reports that haven’t even have the attention to detai required of a 200-level engineering class assignment.
Kelce needs to lock that down.
I’m looking forward to Swift’s next hit single “Commit Already!”
Tossed $10 bets on MVP Longshots:
Chiefs TE Mr. Swift for $100 because of Hollywood Ending: $100
Eagles TE Goedert for $1,000 because a website told me to do it.
Chiefs K Stay in the Kitchen Outside of Labor Contractions for $1,000 because Trump made an Executive Order.
Eagle K Jake Elliot for $5,000 because a kicker the Bengals rejected winning the SB MVP would be a poetic ending to the nut punch of a season.
I plan to imbibe only opium, and be in bed by 8:30p EST. Last night, i dreamt I was working as a bartender, but I had both (i) never been trained so had no idea where anything was; and (ii) the patrons kept ordering drinks that I hadnever heard of before.
MY BRAIN HATES ME MOAR THAN ANY WOMAN EVER COULD. Not that I don’t deserve eternal scorn, mind.
