We’re talking football here on MMO today (don’t worry, baseball is still our #1, but it’s the Super Bowl!).
Super Bowl LVII is happening this weekend, Sunday February 12. The Kansas City Chiefs will be taking on the Philadelphia Eagles at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The Chiefs have won twice in 1970 and most recently in 2020. The Eagles have one championship under their belt from 2018.
You know I have to mention it – Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is the son of former Mets player Pat Mahomes, making lots of Mets fans wanting the Chiefs to win (and well, because of our hatred for Philly, too).
There’s another Mets connection in this year’s Super Bowl, too. One of our favorite former on-field reporters and TV broadcasters, Kevin Burkhardt, is calling the game. It’ll be his first Super Bowl. Good luck, Kevin! Mets fans will be rooting for you.
The game is set to start at 6:30 PM on Fox. Oh, and if you’ve been living under a rock, the Mets will be running a Super Bowl ad. We’re sure you’ve already seen it, but be sure to be on the lookout for that!
So, who do you have?

Did You Know…
Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce are the first brothers to play against each other in the Super Bowl.
Andy Reid is older than Nick Sirianni by 23 years. This is the second-largest coaching age gap in Super Bowl history. The first? Bill Belichick and Sean McVay in Super Bowl LIII – there were 33 years between them.
The National Anthem will be sung by Chris Stapleton. Babyface will sing “America the Beautiful” and Sheryl Lee Ralph will sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”
There will be a Navy flyover during the National Anthem with female aviators. This is to celebrate 50 years of women flying in the Navy.
Rihanna will headline the Super Bowl Halftime show. She’s teased that she may bring special guests to perform with her, but hasn’t confirmed who.
It should be a great game!
