It is SUPER BOWL weekend, y’all! I LOVE football. I will watch every second of this game as once it is over, there will be no football until next season starts, which is a long, long, long, long, LONG time from now – sniff. Let’s focus on Super Bowl XLVIII which kicks off on Sunday evening around 5:30 pm EST. The pre-game show will give you all of the game stats, but this is the stuff that you should be talking about pre-game – *The Band Perry and American Idol winner Phillip Phillips will perform during the pre-game show – nice combination *The National Anthem will be sung by opera singer Renee Fleming who will be joined by a 32-voice group comprised of military choruses & choirs. The musical accompaniment is a recorded version of the anthem by the New Jersey Symphony – I am sure it will bring a tear to my eye…. *The HALFTIME show is sponsored by Pepsi and features the Grammy Winning Artist, Bruno Mars – I LOVE HIM – along with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. No more, ‘Bruno who?’ after this performance! *This year’s BIG Game is being played in the BIG Apple – well, actually in New Jersey where the temps at kick-off are expected to be in the mid-40’s *Super Bowl advertising costs this year increased to the tune of a whopping $4.5 million from 43 advertisers for the 32 minutes and 30 second spots. A 30-second spot costs $4.1 Million. *Security will be increased with more than 700 NJ State Police troopers in and around the stadium complex, along with 3,000 private security personnel and additional mass transit security. Due to the stadium’s proximity to waterways and railways, extra Coast Guard boats will be in patrol along with more planes from federal agencies in the sky equipped with infrared & night-vision systems, not to mention the hundreds of employees from Homeland Security & the FBI – whoa *Because I believe that Joe Montana is the greatest football player of all time, I am proud to remind you that he holds the record for the MOST Super Bowl MVP awards – he is the ONLY player that has three – 3!! *FOOD – it is expected that Super Bowl watchers will eat – 100 million lbs of chicken wings / 11 million pieces of pizza / 8 million lbs of avocado along with 8.2 million lbs of tortilla chips / 3.8 million lbs of popcorn / drinking 51.7 million cases of beer / 4.3 million lbs of pretzels / 2.5 million lbs of peanuts / 48 million folks will order out, while 62% of you will grill at home / a total of 11.2 million potato chips will be consumed equaling 27 BILLION calories & 1.8 BILLION grams of fat - burp** *Antacid sales are expected to increase by 20% on the day after –choose your snack-age wisely….
