The big game

Today is Super Bowl 57, in which the Philadelphia Eagles will take on the Kansas City Chiefs at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. In which State Farm is the insurance company at reference 1, nothing to do with state hospitals, US old-speak for large mental institutions.

If you can't make it to Glendale, Fox will bring it to the comfort of your home.

In which case, the Texas Mequite Grill stand ready to do one of their crawfish specials to go for you to munch on while you watch the big game. A snip at $31.95.

Four hours and seven minutes to go until kick-off. More than enough time to flash your plastic at Fox.

PS 1: and to help gee things up a bit at half time the legendary Rihanna will be putting in an appearance.

PS 2: neither the Bing nor the Google image search features can recover the original from which the snap above has been clipped. Lots of crawfish, but not these ones. Nor, as it happens, can I find it at reference 7, despite their having emailed me especially. Maybe I need new specs. Later: found them.

PS 3: Monday morning: Super Bowl 2023: Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs rally past Eagles to win a second title in four years - Yahoo Sports Staff - Mon, Feb 13, 2023, 3:16 AM GMT. But the real news is that Rihanna confirmed her pregnancy after a dazzling performance at half time.
