Here are a few of the sillier things that were trending on Super Bowl Sunday . . .
1. There was a Super Bowl streaker, but NBC didn’t show it. Nothing too exciting, just a shirtless guy in black sweats. It happened in the fourth quarter. Pats’ wide receiver Kyle Williams helped chase him down, and then half-a-dozen security guards piled on.
2. Someone bet a quarter-of-a-million dollars on the coin toss. 40 minutes before the game, Caesars Palace said someone bet $253,000 on it. They picked “heads,” and they were RIGHT. They won their money back, plus 245 grand.
3. Other crazy bets. “SB Nation” did a run-down on how some of the other prop bets worked out: The National Anthem was UNDER two minutes . . . Bad Bunny did OVER 11.5 songs . . . total points scored was an EVEN number, 42 . . . and yellow Gatorade was poured on the winning coach.
4. Did the Seahawks call “heads” or “tails”? There was a bunch of chatter online about it. People thought they heard Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp call “heads.” Then the ref said tails, and Cooper didn’t correct him. From what we can tell, he DID call “tails.” It might be one of those “audio illusions,” where what you hear depends on what you’re expecting. (Here’s the clip.)
5. We ate a whole lot of wings yesterday. The National Chicken Council’s estimate was 1.5 billion wings. If so, it’s a new record, and enough wings to circle the Earth almost three times.
6. The average Super Bowl spread cost $14 per person. Wells Fargo’s annual “Super Bowl Food Report” found you could feed 10 people for $140, up two bucks from last year. They include game day staples like wings, nachos, chips-and-dip, frozen pizza, and beer. ($140 including beer??? Not the way my friends drink.)
7. Food and drinks at the game were a lot pricier. Choices at Levi’s Stadium included a $20 hot dog, and a crazy bone-in cheeseburger called the “Hammer Burger” that cost $180. (!!!) They only had 200 of them available. The cheapest beer was $17.50. Bottled water cost eight bucks.
8. Seattle won the game, but which city has the better coffee? The “New York Post” did a blind taste test of Starbucks vs. Dunkin’. And the winner was . . . Seattle. 43 staff members voted: 25 picked Starbucks, and 18 preferred Dunkin’.
9. The best tweets and memes. BuzzFeed did a big list. One person posted a shot of Bad Bunny carrying a football during his halftime show . . . and joked that he’d “already gained more yards than the Patriots.” (Ouch!)
