Hey if you can’t believe heroin addicts who can we believe?

Was Tony Romo’s Wet Spot Piss, or Cum?

Everyone’s noticing Tony Romo showed up at the Super Bowl with a wet spot on his pants. They’re all assuming its urine, but it really could be any bodily fluid.

Get CSI on the case. This is important.

A couple more shakes next time, Tony pic.twitter.com/KniL1ybUs5

Listen to Radio Announcer Call The Fan Who Ran Across the Field During the Super Bowl

Everyone watching the big game from home missed out the action as a fan ran across the field, because tv doesn’t like to encourage that crap. But radio play by play announcer Kevin Harlan just went for it.

And the woke backlash is coming in 5….4….

Patrick Mahomes Had 497 Yards Rushing Last Night - Behind The Line Of Scrimmage

According to ESPN stats, Mahomes scrambled behind the line of scrimmage for 497 yards during the Super Bowl. This sounds like the worst game of Madden ever.

According to @NextGenStats Patrick Mahomes ran a total of 497 yards before his passes/sacks tonight.

That's the most pre-throw/pre-sack yards run by any quarterback in any game this season. pic.twitter.com/rsVe85ItNN

LeSean McCoy Now Has Two Super Bowl Rings And Has Been Inactive For Both Games

Running Back Lesean McCoy got a ring with the Chiefs last year even though he wasn’t even activated and the same happened again for him this year with the Bucs. Where Lesean goes, so does the Lombardi Trophy.

Via Reddit.com.

Last Night Was The First Time In His NFL Or College Career Patrick Mahomes Didn't Score A TD

Patrick Mahomes picked his second Super Bowl to have the worst game of his career. It was the first time in all of NFL and college career where he didn’t score a touchdown. If only the Chiefs had had time to game plan, maybe this would have been different.

Tonight marks the first time in his NFL or college career that a Patrick Mahomes-quarterbacked team did *not* score a TD.

It's probably the first time EVER he started a game and his team didn't find the end zone once.

A masterful, dominant performance by the @Buccaneers.

This Buccaneers PostSeason Was Legendary

This Tweet from ESPN stats says it all. The Bucs scored more points, and beat more MVP QB’s on the way to the Super Bowl than any other team in history. Guess we can blame Bill for Tom’s streak of not winning Super Bowl’s back when he was in his 30’s.

The Bucs are the 1st team with four 30-point games in a postseason.

They are the 1st team to beat 3 SB MVP QBs in a postseason (Mahomes, Rodgers, Brees)

Tom Brady is the 1st player in NFL history with 50 Pass TD in a season (including playoffs) for a Super Bowl champion. pic.twitter.com/VbPVbhKg7S

Tyrann Mathieu Deletes Tweet Where He Says Brady Called Him Something He Won't Repeat

Tyrann Mathieu went on Twitter to claim Brady called him something he wasn’t going to repeat but then deleted the message. Next he’s going to say Brady sent him texts saying he wanted to eat his ribs and he carved a B in his crotch.

Brady Originally Wanted To Go To The 49ers

Pro Football Talk is saying Brady originally wanted to go to the 49ers after leaving the Pats but they passed. Tompa Bay has a better ring to it than Tom Francisco anyway. Or San FranTomsco.

Tom Brady wanted to sign with the 49ers. They passed.

Reddit Ran A Five Second Ad During The Super Bowl

Reddit ran a surprise 5 second ad during the Super Bowl that was just a JPEG of a reddit post referencing the Robin Hood situation. Unfortunately no one wanted to pause the game long enough to read it because they were too interested in watching the Chiefs get dismantled.

That Weird Oatly Ad Was Actually From 2014

Oat milk company Oatly ran an odd commercial of their CEO singing about oat milk for 30 seconds during the Super Bowl. Turns out this was just an old ad they shot in two takes that ran in Sweden back in 2014. Sounds like Andy Reid is in charge of their marketing.

Reporter Can’t Distinguish Bryon Leftwich From Todd Bowles

During the post game press conference, reporter Michael Donaldson mistook Tampa Bay offensive coordinator Bryon Leftwich for defense coordinator Todd Bowles, both of whom are black. Donaldson is appealing to the NFL to have coaches wear name tags for the newbie reporters.

It’s a big moment in the household, Amy Schumer’s son is seeing his mom on television for the very first time, and she can’t wait to see his huge reaction. Watch Amy watch her son, watch her on tv.

Doesn’t look like her husband gives a shit either.

Did SNL Rip Off Ted Alexandro

SNL aired a really clever sketch this week about people over 30 going to zillow to fantasize instead of pornhub. Ted Alexandro says that’s his joke, and he said he’s expecting a venmo of 1 million dollars for it.

If they did steal it, at least they finally ripped off something good instead of just copying everything Trump is doing.
