Leaving in a bit to the studio :)
Don't tell the Swifties, but it appears that her flight is up on flightradar24 right now.

(nope, not posting a link, wouldn't want her to sue SoSH......)

EDIT kind of surprised that she didn't have her info removed/redacted. From what I've read, it's not that hard to do.

What’s really important is that the NFL finally got an in-game DJ for its boring game ( about 13 minutes of action in 3 hours and usually dominated by the best QB ).

Furthermore, it’s Tiesto! I hope they feature him during the 30-second long breaks in between 5-8 second plays.

Clearly they’re saving the best for the least interesting parts — namely the vast majority of the game.

Tiesto is out due to a family situation, Kaskade is in.

(ONCE AGAIN I CAN ACTUALLY CHIME IN WITH EXPERT OPINION ON SOMETHING FOR.... TWICE.)

Kaskade is a pretty fantastic DJ and producer. He's also Mormon! And he DJs barefoot regularly if the conditions allow for it!

Anyway, he's one of the twenty most successful DJs in the world and he's a Vegas staple at this point. Personally I prefer Kaskade to Tiesto, but that's no slight on Tiesto.

But yeah, he won't actually be DJing.
Does he have input into the playlist? Will there be any changes in the music from Tiesto to Kaskade? Or will the entertainment just be somewhat less shod?

Was this something people could bet on? Because I can’t imagine that she wouldn’t make it. Like, for Seift + NFl? Even if they had to shake the dust of the Concorde or pull the SR-71 out of mothballs or something. The space shuttle? NBD. There’s spectacle to be had.

It was never in doubt, and it appears she has a tailwind so she'll make it in with even more time to spare.

The cradle of the game.
Lots of chatter about the practice facilities.

As the "home team" (it alternates) the Chiefs practice at the Raiders facilities, which have indoor/outdoor fields. Meanwhile the 49ers are at UNLV's facilities, which were recently resodded with natural grass and are too soft apparently.

Plus it's raining hard so overall huge advatnage Chiefs.

This is just one of many mptices I got on Xitter
Spongey and in poor condition... just like the carpet in my room the last time I stayed in that city.


My gut has been stuck on a Chiefs waxing all week anyway. I'll go 38-6 KC.

One of my great thrills of the past few years for me: learning who Kaskade and Tiësto are, and then learning that two of the coolest guys in the world are my age. I feel renewed and even reanimated. Thank you, SOSH.

the scarey thing IF kc Wins Mahomes will have 3 with reid likely to coach 5-7 more years KC might make the pats a quick footnote is history
the pats from 01-18 won 6
the chiefs from 18- present if they have 7 more shots mahomes may tie brady 6 in ne 6 in kc
we might have 7 more years of deep KC playoff runs

It almost certainly won’t play out that way. Kelce is 34 and almost done. They already don’t have a ton of talent on offense. This team wasn’t that impressive this year until they went on a late run. That’s always a possibility with Mahomes but they will have their share of close call losses like the Pats did. It’s just so hard to win year in and year out. Shoot, they might not even win tomorrow.

Hopefully it’ll be more like Dallas stopping at three Super Bowl victories even though they still had Aikman, Emmett Smith and Michael Irvin for a few years. Jimmy Johnson was gone, however, and Jerry Jones had brought in Barry Switzer. No comparison, Switzer to Reid. Kyle and the 49ers need this one like Steve Young and the 49ers needed to win in 94-95. That team had to get over the Cowboys, finally, which they did.

They’ll be the first test case for how much the new QB salaries begin impacting teams’ abilities to be competitive all the way down the roster. They’ll probably have a number of years as the Pats did in 2006 and 2013 when the receiving talent is subpar due to injuries/FA leaving/draft whiffs.

I have the over. I was there in December - and no Super Bowl then of course - and the ride share area probably had a 50 minute wait.
Random trivia - Some NFL reporter (sorry didn't get their name) mentioned that no Alabama player has scored in Superbowl. If correct, that's crazy to me, especially given their dominance over the past two decades.
This is sort of correct, the stat going around is no player to finish his collegiate career at Alabama has done so. While true, this is really semantical because Jalen Hurts exists, who had three against KC last year. You can't even say the word graduated and have it still be true because Hurts got a bachelor's at Alabama in communication and information sciences before his transfer to Oklahoma. The all-time leader here if you were curious is the Miami Hurricanes, at 84 such players.

I heard a fun SB trivia question today: tomorrow, Brock Purdy will become the third Mr Irrelevant to play in a Super Bowl, who were the other two?
The other one not named should be...

Ryan Succop, with Tampa Bay, but drafted by KC, the team he beat. This is interesting in and of itself, as he and Moore bookend Brady's first and last Super Bowl wins.

Bad news, it's always surge pricing Vegas, especially on a weekend.

Hey, want a food tip?

One of the best places in Vegas to eat is off-strip -- it's called Izakaya Go, and when I go to Vegas, it's literally the first stop -- even before the hotel or casino. My business partner lives in LV and it's *always* the place to go first. Huge menu, sushi, ramen, etc. They have a late-night happy hour where shit gets real cheap, and the food is spectacular. I've been there... I dunno, 30 times, and I've never had an average meal. It's always extremely good. And because it's off-strip, the wait is less.

Other spots to consider: Other Mama (WAY off strip), Krung Thai, Honey Salt, Herbs & Rye, Lotus of Siam. Honestly so many places in the China/Asiantown area are awesome and just drop in. But Krung Thai, Other Mama, and Izakaya Go are my favorites.

On-strip: Best Friend or Noodles (Park MGM), Carbone (ARIA, though it's probably impossible to get in), anywhere at Wynn/Encore, and if you feel like going a LITTLE offstrip to Durango... just have fun. The whole place is lined with great food, though it's a locals casino.
I’ve been so caught up in things out here that I did t even see this post until now. But thanks for these awesome tips Laddie! We’ve been debating where to grab dinner after the game and this is a great list to work off.

Did the Super Bowl always start so late or am I just turning into a crotchety old guy? Of course, I used to get out of bed a lot later...

It's been between 6:10pm and 6:40pm since the 1991 season.

So yes. And now I'm concerned.
Thinking back now, I recall the Super Bowls of the early aughts as being light out, but I was also throwing game parties for several of those (complete with stadium seating for a couple!) and had a lot going on. But, on reflection, I remember the game that shall not be named as occurring when it was dark out—like, straight up night time. I also had been recently dumped and was running a slight fever.

I think I just learned something about myself.

Ok, the Steve McMichael Segment on ESPN was some hard hitting stuff. Everyone on the set was crying or misty eyed: Rex, Tedy, Randy etc. I’m so glad he made it to the Hall of Fame. Here’s a toast to him and his wife for the fight they have put up against ALS.

Before the 91 season, it was closer to 4:40-5:30pm.

Then it very much changed and since 1991, it's been dark. But it might feel light because the pregame just goes on so long. Plus I watch the puppy bowl and it's light out during that and that is the real super bowl, the sweet dogs we adopted on the way.

The Super Bowl should be on the Saturday of Presidents Day weekend. The game on Saturday night and then two days off to recover and relax.
The Super Bowl will never, ever, ever be on a Saturday, which is the least watched TV day.

It would be nice if it was before Presidents Day, tho. I think the NFL will get to 18 games and then it would end the season the day before President's day. A double national holiday there.

I’ve posted this before but a few years ago when the NFL was on the verge of moving to 18 games the Daytona 500 for the first time moved away from the Sunday of Presidents Day weekend. I am sure it was due to secret negotiations between NASCAR and the NFL because those two events can’t happen on the same day obviously. Then the NFLPA nixed the 18 game season and the 500 moved back to its long time place on the calendar. If the NFL finally does go to 18 games the 500 will have to move again.

McKinnon, RB, is now expected to play for the Chiefs. Does that move any needles?
I actually think he’s the type of back that it’s harder for the niners to stop than Pacheco. He’s more direct to the edges with speed. It worries me.

That said literally everything worries me about this game so grain of salt and all.

I don’t usually like SB pregame stuff but this feature on the LV Westside with Usher and Nate is good.
