You Can Actually Bet On This…
How many times will Taylor Swift be shown during the Super Bowl?
The Over/Under is 5.5 Times. I don’t know anything about betting, but I feel like they might show her 4 billion times and this bet seems like a good one.

The National Chicken Council estimates that Americans will eat a record high 1.42 billion wings during the Super Bowl. – That is gross.
At half-time, it's estimated around 100 million toilets will flush… Also, gross.
BUT, BUT, BUT, BUT, BUT…

Why do emails do poorly after Super Bowl? Hmmmm, I wonder:
FACT: On average 1.5 million Americans will call in “sick” Monday after Super Bowl and another 4.4 million are expected to show up late for work.
Might be related to Americans are estimated to drink 60 million cases of beer on Super Bowl Sunday (and eat 8 million pounds of guacamole which seems GROSS).

WATCHING:
THE BACHELOR [ABC]: This season is off to a great start BUT…Joey needs to start acting like a real person and not just being nice to everyone. Very happy that one sister left. And everyone needs to stop crying immediately. Other than that, EVERYONE should be watching. What is wrong with you.
GRISELDA [NETFLIX]: This is awesome. I’m in the middle of this. You gotta watch. True story about drug dealing in Miami. Sofía Vergara is the star, and she is a badass.
VANDERPUMP RULES [BRAVO]: I haven’t watched first episode yet, but I am all in. LFG!
