Here we are. Super Bowl Sunday. The day promised to all Americans in the Bible as a reward for American exceptionalism. A day when everyone has to sing the national anthem a dozen times and wear the American flag on their person.
Can we please stop mixing nationalistic jingoism with sport? Sing the national anthem once on opening day and be done with it. And there is no reason that the military has to be mixed in with sport. Jets that are designed to bomb and kill people have nothing to do with a football game.
Anway we have three words for Super Bowl Sunday.
Are you ready?
Fly Eagles Fly! 🦅
We are all in on Philly. We sold a few Eth coins and a couple of shares of Nvidia and called 8th Street Ernie and told him we are putting it all on Philly money line. No points. We got +120 but most online sites will only give you +100 or even money.
Here are a few prop bets we like.
We LOVE the bet that there will be a two-point conversion attempt. We got +320 for their being two -two-point conversion attempts and we also put some money on a successful 2 pointer.
Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurst - Philly QB- going over 1.5 passing TDs? +150. Over 218 yards? -105. And the parlay over 1.5 TDs and over 218 yards> +260 on Hardrock.
The Over/Under? We aren't sure. Probably going to pass.
Here is a fun one. +6000 for any member of the Philly D line getting an INT. It would be on a tipped ball and we think the Eagle D Line will be in Mahomes face all day. He will be seeing them in his dreams tonight.
Eagles winning by between 1-6 points? +325. This is a great bet. Eagles winning by 13-18 points? +900. $50 bucks for fun on that one.
And finally, the bet you are all waiting for. After 0ver 100K simulations, taking into account the latitude and longitude of New Orleans and the Coriolis effect on that area, we are very certain that the coin flip will be.......
TAILS!
It's gonna be a Green Super Bowl. It won't be close. We will be enjoying the game with a few cold ones and a Pats Cheese-Steak we had flown in last night for the game.
"Wit" of course. (If you don't know what "Wit" is in a cheese steak order, go on to Mr. Markus's blog We are sure you can find a lively discussion on pending changes to the federal rules of evidence that may be more your style).

Nailed the Tails. And I didn’t post it but I had Cooper Dejean getting an INT for +750 and Philly D scoring a TD for + 750. So far so good.
Rump I made a freaking fortune betting your picks. Thank you so much. Oh the Eagles won by 18 with that last KC TD and 2 post conversion. That alone won me 5k. You’re fantastic. Thanks so much. Big big (now rich) fan.
Rump, If not mistaken, the Pentagon pays big bucks yearly to the NFL out of it’s recruiting budget for those pregame patriotic demonstrations like the big flag, fly overs, honor gaurd, etc.
There’s nothing patriotic about a sporting event. And I can be a fan of a dictator like Putin or Trump who are both very anti American in their ideals and actions and still like football or hockey. We need to separate nationalism from sports.
There is actually something quite American about a good, fair fought sporting event. Especially football. Getting together, BBQ, root for your team and have fun knowing we are all in it together. I agree that claiming patriotism as being owned by the right or left is not good. But that is on the people trying to do it. I enjoy flying the flag - lefty that I am - and cooking and drinking and yelling for my team. Also, the flybys are cool as shit, especially when you are in an open stadium to see and hear it. Doing it over a dome is dumb as fuck.
YES
"Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence: in other words it is war minus the shooting."
"You know, I remember in high school, already I was pretty old. I suddenly asked myself at one point, why do I care if my high school team wins the football game? I mean, I don't know anybody on the team, you know? I mean, they have nothing to do with me, I mean, why I am cheering for my team? It doesn't mean any -- it doesn't make sense. But the point is, it does make sense: it's a way of building up irrational attitudes of submission to authority, and group cohesion behind leadership elements -- in fact, it's training in irrational jingoism. That's also a feature of competitive sports. I think if you look closely at these things, I think, typically, they do have functions, and that's why energy is devoted to supporting them and creating a basis for them and advertisers are willing to pay for them and so on." - Noam Chomsky
I admit I watch sports and find them entertaining but I will never wear another man's name on my back, and have always felt strange around those who make rooting for a sports team their whole identity.
I watch Italian soccer every weekend . At the stadiums they play the Serie A song before the game, never the National Anthem
