Tom Brady takes a Super Bowl jab at Kevin Hart after Netflix roast

Tom Brady didn’t hold back during his highly anticipated Super Bowl 2025 broadcasting debut, taking a playful shot at comedian Kevin Hart live on air. The moment came months after Hart mercilessly roasted Brady during Netflix’s The Roast of Tom Brady in May 2024. As the Kansas City Chiefs faced the Philadelphia Eagles, Brady turned to Fox Sports co-commentator Kevin Burkhardt and joked, “Kevin…

Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans 2025

The Super Bowl is more than just a football game - it’s a cultural phenomenon that brings together sports, entertainment, and advertising on an epic scale. But what’s stealing the spotlight this year? Is it the game itself, the star-studded halftime show, the high-budget commercials, or the shared social experience?

Let’s flashback to Super Bowl 58, a game that will be remembered for breaking viewership records, with 123.4 million viewers, making it the most-watched TV event in U.S. history. The Kansas City Chiefs' 25-22 overtime victory over the San Francisco 49ers created unforgettable drama, while star-studded offenses and Taylor Swift’s appearance added extra excitement. The game capped off a season of record-breaking NFL ratings, cementing its place in history as one of the most memorable Super Bowls ever.

But back to the present.

With 72% of consumers planning to tune in, understanding what captures their attention can give you a marketing edge. Our latest infographic dives into the biggest trends, uncovering what resonates most with audiences and how brands can capitalize on these insights to create smarter, more impactful campaigns. Don’t just watch the game—make sure your brand is part of the conversation. Each year, the Super Bowl grows into an even bigger cultural and commercial spectacle. According to Nielsen, Super Bowl 58 set a new viewership record, drawing nearly 124 million people. With so many eyes on the screen, advertisers were willing to pay top dollar—shelling out $7 million for just 30 seconds of airtime.

The states where the most players were born are California, Florida, and Texas (10 each), Georgia (8) and Ohio (6).

That demand hasn’t slowed down for Super Bowl 59. In fact, Fox sold out its entire in-game ad inventory before November, months ahead of kickoff. But landing a spot in the lineup is only part of the challenge. Brands must also compete in what has become the most crowded and creative advertising event of the year. With millions of viewers actively watching and discussing the commercials, the stakes are sky-high. However, for companies, the investment often pays off. After all, the Super Bowl is one of the few times when audiences not only tolerate ads but look forward to them. And lately, one thing has become clear: celebrities dominate Super Bowl commercials. Believe it or not, before 2018, most ads during the game didn’t feature famous actors, musicians, or athletes. Now, it’s the opposite—brands increasingly rely on A-list endorsements to capture attention and boost engagement. Last year, Super Bowl 58 commercials starred big names like Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, Kevin Hart, and Serena Williams, with many ads packed with multiple celebrities to maximize impact. Beyond the ads, consumer spending around the Big Game has also skyrocketed. Over the past decade, Americans have increased their spending on Super Bowl-related food, drinks, apparel, and decorations by 40%—rising from $12.4 billion in 2014 to $17.3 billion in 2024, according to the National Retail Federation. Super Bowl parties remain a huge tradition, with millions stocking up on wings, chips, beer, and team gear to celebrate the event. For brands, the Super Bowl isn’t just about one night—it’s about creating a cultural moment that lingers far beyond the final whistle. Whether through star-studded commercials, viral campaigns, or social media buzz, companies are banking on the game’s unmatched ability to keep audiences engaged, entertained, and spending.

Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles Face Off for the Second Time in Three Years

This Sunday’s Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans will see a thrilling rematch between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs, who are the defending champions. The two teams last met in Super Bowl LVII in Glendale, Arizona, where the Chiefs narrowly defeated the Eagles in a high-stakes battle, winning 38-35. That game was a dramatic contest, with Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes leading the charge despite playing through an ankle injury. The Chiefs' comeback in the second half ultimately secured them their third Super Bowl title in the last five years. Kansas City has been a dominant force in the NFL in recent seasons, making it to the Super Bowl in all but one year since the 2019 season. In those four appearances, the Chiefs have claimed the championship three times, further cementing their status as one of the league’s most successful franchises of the era. The Eagles, on the other hand, are seeking redemption after their narrow loss in last year’s final and are looking to capture their second Super Bowl title in franchise history. Both teams have explosive offenses and formidable defenses, and the Super Bowl LIX matchup promises to be a must-watch for football fans around the world. Will the Chiefs continue their dynasty, or will the Eagles soar to victory this time around?

Super Bowl 59 logo: What it looks like, who designed it?

The logo for Super Bowl 59 was created by Tahj Williams, a 26-year-old local artist who works as a cybersecurity analyst for Microsoft by day, according to NOLA.com. Williams, also known as "Queen Tahj," is a prominent figure in New Orleans’ Black Masking Indian tribe, where she holds the title of queen. Williams made history as the first Black woman to design both the Super Bowl logo and its theme art, as reported by Essence. She is also the first local artist to collaborate with the NFL on creating a Super Bowl logo.

“This partnership is a dream come true and an opportunity to share the beauty of Black Masking culture with the world,” Williams told Essence, emphasizing the pride and significance of her work.

Her design brings a unique cultural touch to the event, celebrating the rich heritage of New Orleans.

Amna Nawaz:

This Sunday in New Orleans, the Philadelphia Eagles will try to block the Kansas City Chiefs from taking home an historic third consecutive Super Bowl title.

There will also be an historic amount of money riding on the game. The American Gaming Association estimates that nearly $1.4 billion will be legally wagered, as Paul Solman reports, proof of a snowballing and potentially perilous sports betting craze.

Eli Manning, Former NFL Player:

I'm doing the FanDuel Kick of Destiny 3 live Super Bowl Sunday.

Paul Solman:

Super Bowl Sunday, our eyes and ears blitzed by calls to get in on the action.

Kevin Hart, Actor:

Now, I know it's the Super Bowl and all, but everyone gets a free bet?

Paul Solman:

Nearly seven years after the Supreme Court struck down the ban on commercial sports betting, 39 states and the District of Colombia have legalized it.

Last year, more than one in three Americans said they'd put money on a game at some point in their life, up from the year before, while the American Gaming Association estimates that commercial sports betting revenue reached more than $14 billion, up 28 percent from 2023.

Rob Minnick, Former Gambler:

And it's gotten to a point where, if you're not betting on sports, people are starting to question why you're watching the game.

Paul Solman:

For 25-year-old Philadelphia resident Rob Minnick, the gambling gateway was fantasy sports played as a teenager. The switch to sports betting, which he began on illegal and offshore sites before turning the legal age of 21, was all too easy.

Rob Minnick:

If I was going to hang out with my friends or a family event was going to be happening, the center focal point was a professional sport of some kind. And so this idea that we could do what we were already doing, but now make money doing it, it was like way too good to be true. And it was.

Paul Solman:

Too good because fun with friends became six to eight hours a day of compulsive gambling.

Rob Minnick:

Gambling was my way of expressing myself to prove I was smart, to prove I could win, to prove that I was worthy. And the money kind of reflected the scoreboard.

Paul Solman:

After six years of betting, he joined Gamblers Anonymous, eventually kicking his habit two years ago, and now hosting a podcast "One Day At a Time: Gambling Awareness," talking to people like himself about their struggles.

Man:

I started sports gambling, which was really what was my biggest vice, when I was 19.

Rob Minnick:

I'm going to call this an epidemic of addiction that's heading towards the United States, if not already hitting the United States. It's not because the doors opened up and you got access. It's because the doors opened up and people started pulling you through those doors.

Man:

All right, boys, who are we betting on?

Paul Solman:

With the ads and come-ons that now buffet us all. Of course, gambling addiction is nothing new, but understanding how big the problem is difficult, as there's no comprehensive national data.

The National Council on Problem Gambling estimates about 2.5 million Americans meet the criteria for severe gambling problem, while another 2 percent to 3 percent have a mild or moderate problem. And recent studies found that legal sports betting decreased household savings and investments, led to more bankruptcies and loan delinquencies, even contributed to a rise in domestic violence.

Harry Levant, Northeastern University:

I made my last bet on April 27, 2014, and on that same night, nearly took my own life.

Paul Solman:

Former lawyer Harry Levant, disbarred for stealing some $2 million from client funds to fuel his gambling addiction. Now a licensed counselor and advocate for reform, Levant testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee in December.

Harry Levant:

We have known for more than 12 years that gambling is an addictive product and gambling disorder is an addiction similar to heroin, opioids, tobacco, alcohol and cocaine.

Paul Solman:

Levant's own struggles began well before the advent of widespread legal sports betting, and he acknowledges that states now receive a cut of gambling revenues to build roads, schools and even fund treatment, like the 1-800 gambler help lines tagging those ads you see everywhere.

And so:

Harry Levant:

I'm sympathetic to the need of our elected officials to balance budgets, but what has happened here is, they have no recognition or very little recognition of the product the gambling industry and its sports and media partners have rolled out.

Narrator:

This is you, and this is your powerful hunch.

Paul Solman:

He's pointing to the boom in offerings since the ban was lifted.

Narrator:

With FanDuel, it's easier than ever to…

Paul Solman:

Proposition bets, wagers on the first player to score a touchdown at the Super Bowl,the length of the national anthem there, whether Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce get engaged.

Jamie Foxx, Actor:

BetMGM has got all the sports betting in one place and it's live, baby.

Paul Solman:

There's live betting, which turns every moment of every game into a betting opportunity, and with A.I. constantly adjusting the odds.

Narrator:

You have got the power to create your perfect parlay any way you want.

Paul Solman:

And there are parlays, which string together multiple bets, giving winners potentially sky-high payouts, but stacking the deck hugely in favor of the house, a fact that is not advertised.

Man:

And we will take an 18 again.

Man:

Yes, yes.

Man:

We will get our money back.

Paul Solman:

Finally, livestreaming on both legal and offshore sites, and featuring influencers like mega-rapper Drake…

Man:

You want $20,000. Congratulations, man.

Paul Solman:

… who is paid to play and lure in new players.

All the while, the sports books harvest data from users, gaining insight into how to keep customers coming back.

Harry Levant:

I'd like to say it this way. When the first cave person invented the first wheel, there was some schmuck three caves down laying 3-1 the wheel wouldn't work. Gambling has been around a very long time. It's not going anywhere.

But this is a fundamentally new, different, defective and dangerous online product.

Paul Solman:

Last year, Senator Richard Blumenthal and Representative Andrea Salinas, both Democrats, introduced the Gambling Recovery Investment and Treatment Act to fund treatment and also research.

Five states with some form of legal gambling currently offer no funding at all for the treatment, and in September Blumenthal joined Democratic representative Paul Tonko of New York to propose the SAFE Bet Act to limit TV ads, restrict the number and the type of bets, ban A.I. use to track players habits and create micro-bets, among other things.

Harry Levant:

Every other addictive product, government regulates the advertising, promotion, distribution, and consumption.

Paul Solman:

Sitting just behind Harry Levant at that Senate hearing in December was the American Gaming Association's Joe Maloney. The AGA says federal regulation not only isn't necessary; it will actually make things.

Joe Maloney, American Gaming Association:

The advancements in technology are just going to continue to take place. They're just not going to take place in the legal regulated market.

Paul Solman:

This is the key to the legal industry's argument, that it's taking the action away from illegal gambling, with its loan sharks, kneecappers, and unregulated offshore markets that teenagers like Rob Minnick use.

So, for example, in 2022, in Texas and California, which haven't legalized sports betting, the AGA says players spent more than $600 million in the illegal markets.

Joe Maloney:

Where they're prey to deceptive consumer practices, where there's no promotion of responsibility whatsoever, and there's zero taxes being remitted back into the state for the purposes of providing accessible clinical support for those demonstrating problematic activity or any other priority that they might deem those monies to go to.

Paul Solman:

The SAFE Bet act is expected to be reintroduced in this Congress, although both Rob Minnick and Harry Levant agree, the legal gambling genie is out of the bottle.

Harry Levant:

I encourage people to become more aware of what is happening and understand there are serious risks involved and become part of the conversation to bring public health reform, not to prevent people from enjoying gambling, but to prevent an industry and its partners from preying on the public.

And, with that, I wish people who are gambling on a Super Bowl for recreational reasons, I wish them well with their bets. Enjoy the game. I'm in Philadelphia right now. I need to say, go, birds.

Paul Solman:

For the uninitiated, those birds would be the Eagles.

And for you all and the "PBS News Hour," Paul Solman in Boston.

Three Times Your Brother Got in the Way + One Time He Was Nowhere to be Found

Words: 2.8k

one

It was both you and your twin brother, Ryan’s, birthday, meaning that a way too large of a celebration was going on. Between the two of you, Ryan was the one that favored the overly large gatherings, whereas you were the twin that liked to party with just their friends. That’s how you ended up here; at a bar in downtown Philly with half of the Philadelphia Flyers roster and a few of your girlfriends. If it were up to you, which is usually wasn’t when your brother was around, you’d be at your shared apartment on the east side of the city with only people the two of you knew.

It was okay though, your twin was your best friend and you were thankful you got to celebrate with him. You were also pretty thankful for the tall dirty blonde he had befriended a little over a year ago that was seemingly always around now. 

Ryan was somewhere on the dancefloor with a few of his work buddies and a girl he introduced you to earlier that night. You chose to sit at the long table where part of your group had situated, sitting with Carter, Travis, Kevin, along with your friends Haley and Maddie. 

Carter was sitting next to you nursing an IPA you had never heard of while you were drinking your usual margarita, “Hey! Does anyone want to do tequila shots with me? I’m thinking I need to be on Ryan’s level pretty soon.”

Cheers came from around the table, signaling everyone wanted one as well. You and Haley got up from your chairs, her volunteering to walk over to the bar with you.

“So, you finally gonna make a move on Carter tonight?” She yells over the music once you guys reach the bar. You scoff in her direction as the bartender asks for your drink orders, telling him you wanted six shots of tequila.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about!” You yell back, tapping your heeled foot on the wooden floor beneath you. You look over your friend’s shoulder towards Carter’s general direction once you’re done speaking, only to see him look at you as he took a sip from his beer.

The shots get handed to you right as you turn your head back to Haley and you walk back over to the table, setting them down on the table for everyone to grab. As you all lift your shot glasses to meet in the middle for a toast, Carter cuts you off, “To the gorgeous birthday girl!”

A warmth fills your chest and covers your shoulders as the rest of the group echoes the toast and takes the shot. Once you shoot back the shot you settle back into your chair, only to notice the blonde’s lengthy arm slung over the back of it. Pushing your feelings to the side, you lean back into anyways. If Ryan was going to come back and make a comment about his best friend being a little overly friendly with his sister, you’d blame it on the alcohol.

Chatter fills the table once again, the guys all making jokes about Ryan’s god awful dance moves and the girls laughing along with them. You feel Carter lean a little bit deeper into your side and suddenly he’s very close to you.

“You having a good time?” He asks, the softness in his voice sending shivers through your body. You turn your head to him, nodding your head yes in response, a light blush and shy smile on your lips.

“On a scale of 1-10 how drunk are you?” He questions loudly.

You knit your eyebrows at the odd question, “like a four?”

“Okay, cause I want to make sure you’ll understand what I’m about to ask you.”

The calmness and smoothness in his voice sounds like honey and even though he’s fighting over all the background noise he still sounds like he’s whispering to you. A tightness pulls in your stomach, and you're not entirely sure if it’s because of the man’s face that’s four inches away from you or all the tequila you’ve consumed in the past hour.

“I wanted to ask you if you wanted to, like, do something sometime. Ya know, like not with-” He starts before a very heavy and large, Ryan tumbles into you.

“Y/n!” He exclaims in a slur, “It’s our birthday, why are you over here and not hanging out with me?” He pouts at you and you know it’s time for you to get dragged away by him. Standing up, you turn towards a flushed Carter and give him a soft smile.

Football season was coming to a close and with a hopeful happy ending for the city of Philadelphia. The Eagles had made it to the NFC championship game, meaning the city was on a whole new level of crazy, hoping they could pull out a win to go to another Super Bowl in the weeks to come.

Ryan and you, being the football fanatics that you are, had decided to host some of your friends over for a watch party. To no surprise, Ryan had invited a few of the Flyers over, while you had invited your best friend.

Ryan was outside on the back deck grilling, showing Travis the new grill he had gotten for himself, while you and everyone else sat comfortably in the warmth of your home. The guys hadn’t been over for long so when Carter finally walks up to greet you by the back patio door, you’re shocked at the midnight green hoodie he was wearing.

“Getting into football now, huh?” You joke around, poking at the flying eagle on his chest.

He chuckles lightly, looking down at your hand as you pull it away, “Being in a sports town like this rubs off on you, what can I say.”

“Fly, eagles fly, baby.” You smirk, raising your Coors Light to clink with his IPA.

“Fly or die.” He agrees as your two glasses meet in the middle with a sharp clink. His clear blue eyes watch yours as he brings his glass away from his mouth, licking his lips. “I might have to ask you a few questions, there’s still some stuff that confuses me.”

You take half a step backwards, leaning on the kitchen counter behind you, looking out the back patio door to see your brother chatting Travis’ ear off.

“Just stick with me and you’ll know all the ins and outs of the game. You do the hockey and I’ll do the football.” You joke lightly, turning back to the goalie in front of you. Football had always been your favorite sport growing up and you had only really gotten into hockey once Ryan had befriended Carter and a couple of the other guys.

“I like that plan.” He says softly, taking a step towards you, making up for the step you had just previously taken away from him. “Speaking of hockey, we have a day game next weekend if you wanted to come?” His voice raises in infliction as he asks the question, nerves taking over his body.

“Actually, yeah, that’d be nice! I haven’t been able to go to a lot of the games Ryan always tries to drag me to.” You cheer. “Let me see if he can go too, but I imagine he can.”

You start to turn towards the back patio, planning on asking Ryan if he was free next weekend. You slide open the door a bit, poking your head out into the winter Philadelphia air, asking if he wanted to tag along to the game with you. As he lets you know you can make it, you turn back towards Carter, who seems to have a slight awkwardness in his slouched posture.

“Well, actually, I was, uh, thinking if you wanted to like, do something after with-” He starts, scratching at the back of his neck with his free hand.

Suddenly the door slides open and Ryan barges in with an overflowing plate of burgers, sliding right between you and Carter. “The burgers are ready!” He announces, Travis following close behind him as everyone rushes towards the kitchen for some food.

Waking up, you squeeze your eyes tighter shut, trying to block out the sun peaking through your bedroom blinds. A groan slips past your lips, as the pounding in your head starts. The memories of last night flood through you. You had drank way too much tequila, the reason being Ryan getting a promotion at work.

As you rubbed your eyes awake, you could only imagine the mess that would be in your living room. Moving around you pull on a pair of running shorts and pull your hair into a quick braid. 

Walking down the hallway into the living room, you could still distinguish the scent of beer, causing a slight gag in the back of your throat. You make your way to the kitchen, on a mission for the biggest glass of water you could possibly get and anything that was overloaded in carbs. Once you get your water, you realize you left your phone in your room and make your way back to grab it.

Walking back to the kitchen you notice the large sleeping figure flopped onto your couch. The large, pale, shirtless figure with light brown hair all over the place. Carter Hart is sleeping on your couch and you look like you aren’t even wearing pants. 

You decide to ignore him, going back to the kicthen to find some food to make, trying your best not to wake anyone up in the apartment. As you pull the carton of eggs out and shut the refrigerator door, the same shirtless figure appears behind the once open door once it’s shut.

A soft ‘fuck’ slips past your lips as your eyes naturally fall onto his pale, toned abdomen. 

“Do you have water?” Carter asks in a raspy voice, breaking you from your thoughts. 

You nod your head, whipping open the fridge door once again to grab your Brita filter. You stick your head in the fridge for a little longer than necessary to avoid the shirtless man standing next to you. You finally hand him his glass and he takes it going to sit at the kitchen island. You choose not to follow him and instead start grabbing things to make some eggs.

“Hey, instead of making breakfast, did you maybe want to go grab breakfast? There’s a place nearby I’ve been to that’s pretty good.” He shrugs, spinning his glass around on the countertop.

You face the stove, contemplating the idea for a moment before turning around to face the shirtless hockey player in your kitchen. “Yeah,” You answered, “that sounds a lot better than homemade scrambled eggs right now.”

“Okay, awesome, uh, I just have to grab my shirt and I’ll be good to go.” He says, downing the rest of his water and setting it back down on the island. 

“I just have to change and I should be good, too. Just give me a few minutes.” You shrug, putting away the ingredients you were planning to use. As you round the corner to head to your room you run into a large body, Ryan.

“You guys going to grab breakfast?” He asks, running his hand through his bed head.

You and Carter look between one another before you look back at your twin. “Uh, yeah, Carter said he knows a place a few blocks away.” 

“Cool! I’ll just go change and throw on a hat and I can join you guys!” He exclaims before turning back around and disappearing back down the hallway towards his room.

plus one

Sitting on the couch of your apartment, your thoughts are pulled away from your laptop as you hear a knocking on the front door. Setting your laptop on the cushions beside you, you move towards the door to see who it is.

Swinging the door open, you find Carter in the hallway holding a box of some sort. Ryan hadn’t let you know he was coming over, so you’re confused as to why he’s standing at the door and even more confused at the mysterious box in his hands.

“Hey,” Carter greets, sensing the confusion written all over your face. “Is Ryan home? He said I could swing by anytime today.”

“Uh, yeah, I think his girlfriend is still here. I’m not really sure what he’s up to.” You let him know, moving to the side so you can let him into your entryway. You close the door behind him, and move back towards where you were previously sat on the couch, pulling your laptop back onto your lap.

“What’s in the box?” You ask, your curiosity getting the best of you. Carter walks further into the apartment, setting the box down on the kitchen island with a large ‘thud’.

“Tax stuff? I don’t really know what it all is. Ryan said he’d help me with my taxes and said he’d make sure I was doing everything right.” He answers.

“Oh, yeah, it’s getting to be that time of the year, huh?” You say, remembering that the tax season is coming to a close soon. You look up from your laptop to see him continuing to stand by the kitchen island, his hands awkwardly stuff into his sweatpants pockets. “You can come sit while you wait for him.”

Carter moves to join you on the sectional in the middle of the living room, sitting on the opposite side as you. “What are you working on?” He asks, pointing to the laptop you're typing away on. 

“I’m actually looking for a new job,�� You start. Carter nods his head, urging you to go on. “I didn’t really plan on staying at the place I’m working at right now anyways.” 

Although Carter seemed to be around quite frequently over the past few months, you guys never really got to get to know one another other than the basic things. You knew he was a goalie and that he was on his season and that he was Canadian, which you had picked up on instantly due to his accent. 

“What exactly do you do? I think Ryan mentioned to me that you worked in communications?” He asked.

A smile spreads across your lips, the passion evident in your voice as you begin to speak. “I work in communications and marketing, or at least that’s what I’m looking for right now. I want to be a marketing coordinator but I’m just a PR assistant at my current job.”

Carter leans further into the couch, adjusting himself so he’s facing you. His head is leaned against his hand that’s resting on the back of the couch. He nods his head along as you speak, and he finds himself immersed into the conversation, asking more questions about exactly what you do.

The conversation flows for a little while longer before footsteps come from the hallway, signaling that Ryan and his girlfriend had finally emerged from his bedroom. 

“Oh, hey, man. When did you get here?” Ryan asks, slapping his hand on his friend’s shoulder.

Carter looks back up towards your brother, “Not too long ago.” 

“Hopefully y/n hasn’t been too annoying.” He jokes, smirking at you, as he walks his girlfriend out. You roll your eyes with a scoff at the chirp, a slight blush rising on your cheeks.

“Not at all.” Carter responds with a smile, looking back towards you.

“I’m gonna grab a quick shower then I’ll be right out to help you.” He says before disappearing back towards his room. “Y/n don’t bore him to death!” He chirps as he shuts his bedroom door.

You get a little quiet after that, focusing back on the computer screen in front of you. Carter stays silent as well, trying to feel out the now-awkward atmosphere in the room.

“Hey, y/n?” He asks, grabbing your attention. You hum in response, turning your attention back to him where he continues to sit on the other side of the couch.

“I’ve been trying to ask you out for, like, weeks now, and now that your brother is finally not going to interrupt, do you wanna go out sometime? Like, on a date? Just you and me.” He asks, rambling a bit. A wide smile falls on his face as he finishes, watching your reaction at every word he speaks.

You smile softly at the blushing boy in front of you, your own blush starting to creep up your neck. “Yeah, I’d really like that.” You agree.

His smile widens further as he fishes in his pocket for what you assume is his phone.

“Awesome,” he affirmed. “I’ll look at my game and practice schedule and I can let you know what days work for you?”

“That works perfectly.” You smiled, “And by the way, Ryan is always going to get in the way.”

FanDuel owner Flutter Entertainment (PDYPF)

MGM

Caesars (CZR)

Wynn (WYNN)

The occasion also affected the stock values of several sports betting companies, with some of their shares increasing in 2023 and the market as a whole recovering.

A couple of the stocks are still recovering some of their significant losses, however.

Stock progress

Over the previous year and the two years prior, DraftKings had drops of 30% and 75%, respectively.

Despite a 40% value fall over the previous year, Barstool Sports is still owned by Caesars and Penn Entertainment (PENN), respectively.

Over that period, Rush Street Interactive, the parent company of BetRivers, experienced a decrease of more than 65%.

Each company made a big investment in pricy advertising campaigns.

Kevin Hart has been spotted supporting DraftKings while Jamie Foxx has been featured in MGM advertisements.

JB Smoove and the Manning family have both endorsed Caesars in television advertisements.

Additionally, sportsbooks have begun to invest money in advertising campaigns like “free bets.”

Two birds and one stone

Now, providers of sports gambling must employ tactics that accomplish two goals at once:

Gain new customers

Restore investors’ confidence

However, MGM currently has the upper hand in this contest.

Its BetMGM branch only staffs one physical sportsbook for the NFL game. A 50/50 joint venture between the big Las Vegas casino and UK gaming operator Entain is called BetMGM.

In 2022, the Phoenix stadium moved into the space next to State Farm Stadium, where the Chiefs and Eagles formerly played.

There is no disputing that mobile devices have been utilized by gamblers to place bets.

Adam Greenblatt, the CEO of BetMGM, highlighted that both before and during the game, activity at the sportsbook should move rapidly.

“We have prepared for this Super Bowl like never before, said Greenblatt.

“We are staffing up for a lot of demand.”...Read More

Super Bowl 2023 commercials: Broadcast schedule and what to watch for

Sunday’s Super Bowl 2022 isn’t just about the Eagles vs. the Chiefs — it’s also about the day’s buzziest commercials (and Rihanna’s halftime show, of course). Paul Rudd, Kevin Hart, Serena Williams, Jack Harlow and Sean “Diddy” Combs are just a few of the major stars who will be lighting up the screen between plays. Also watch out for ads that revive characters from “Clueless” and “Breaking Bad.”…

Double nightmare theme music

#Double nightmare theme music tv#

Nothing comes easy for us, and that’s what you hear in that record.”Īlthough Cosmic Kev places “Dreams and Nightmares (Intro)” in the rarefied group of requisite Philly hip-hop records, he believes it’s in a class by itself. He had to reinvent himself he had to fight. Then for a minute, Kevin Hart was the comedian from Soul Plane.

#Double nightmare theme music tv#

You think about Kevin Hart, this dude had a TV show on ABC that came on Friday nights and got cancelled. People only see the international superstar part. He was flat broke, then he rose and became this international superstar. “But before that, he was a rapper, and he went broke. “You think about Will Smith and people think of Will Smith the actor,” Harris says. Other icons who have come from behind to emerge victorious from the city are stronger parallels. The clear difference is that Meek Mill is no fictional manifestation of Philly’s spirit, and his anthem has not only a dynamic edge, but speaks to an even less glamorous component of the city’s makeup. It was going to be a Philadelphia anthem.”Ĭomparing Meek Mill to Rocky Balboa, or “Dreams and Nightmares (Intro)” to “ Gonna Fly Now,” the theme from Rocky, is easy. “When I heard, ‘Hold up wait a minute…’ I knew, right then and there, that it was over. “I remember listening to the where the piano is playing, and he told me to just wait,” he says. But at the time, he was pushing ‘Amen’ because of the feature, back when those guys were good.”Ĭosmic Kev was impressed by “Willy Wonka,” but also immediately recognized that “Dreams and Nightmares (Intro)” was sublime. Because, once again, the energy on that record. “When he sent me ‘Willy Wonka,’ I was snappin’ on that. “He sent me ‘Dreams & Nightmares,’ ‘ Amen,’ and ‘ Willy Wonka’ - which was off one of the mixtapes, because he had done those records early,” Cosmic Kev says. According to Cosmic Kev, the intro wasn’t the song from this initial batch that Meek was the most enthusiastic about. I didn’t think they was gon’ catch it the way they caught it.”ĭJ Cosmic Kev, a legend at Philadelphia’s Power 99 FM and one of the most respected voices in the local hip-hop community, says “Dreams and Nightmares (Intro)” was one of three records Meek sent him well before his debut was released. “But you know, that’s why I made that song in that manner. “I didn’t think would respond to that song like that,” he admitted on Hot 97’s Juan Epstein podcast in 2013. Meek Mill said he’s long felt the record was special (“Me and my homies, we always thought that about the intro,” he told Complex in 2014, in response to Drake’s praise), but he’s acknowledged that he had no idea it would adopt this extended cultural afterlife. Therein lies the root of the song’s popularity: it’s become an anthem because it channels a relatable narrative into raw energy - something any listener can feel. But being written off or doubted is not exclusive to Philadelphia - that’s a narrative many can relate to or, at the very least, understand. They, like Meek, succeeded despite being written off. Hence why the Philadelphia Eagles have embraced it as their anthem during a rocky journey to Super Bowl Lll. It’s deeply rooted in Meek Mill’s North Philadelphia upbringing the grit and chip-on-your-shoulder ambition that characterize the city are evident throughout the song. Much of that impact comes from the feeling “Dreams and Nightmares (Intro)” evokes.
