Is my open rebellion against pre-Super Bowl coverage diminished if degenerate gambling is involved?
If we are truly honest with ourselves, admitting that Sunday’s main event is not really about football is the initial step. No, more than watching a bunch of 300-pound rage monsters savage their bodies for our enjoyment, the culmination of the NFL’s season is the high point of betting; not just on the game, but on everything that surrounds it.
In keeping with that time-honored tradition, the online sportsbook Bovada released its annual catalog of Super Bowl props that will be updated and added to as the week progresses. Categories range from what the first enforced penalty of the game will be to which quarter will be the highest scoring.
Those are far too sports-y for my taste.
