Super Bowl LVII in Arizona is about to begin with the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the Philadelphia Eagles which has the makings of a very exciting game.

Fox Sports has the game this year and as you know President Biden has refused to appear.

The betting industry says about $16 billion dollars will be gambled today. I guess all the major sports leagues taking gobs of money from them has paid off in spades, as they saying goes.

Colleges like Michigan State, Louisiana State University, and University of Colorado Boulder are now taking their money to seduce under-age students to become rabid gamblers. (Of course they say bet responsibly)

All three deals were part of a far-reaching but secretive campaign by the nascent online sports-gambling industry. Ever since the Supreme Court’s decision in 2018 to let states legalize such betting, gambling companies have been racing to convert traditional casino customers, fantasy sports aficionados and players of online games into a new generation of digital gamblers. Major universities, with their tens of thousands of alumni and a captive audience of easy-to-reach students, have emerged as an especially enticing target.

You can still check out the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet!

Will Team Ruff or Team Fluff win the Lombarky trophy? You can watch this feel-good sports competition on Sunday, February 12 at 2P ET/11A PT on Animal Planet, Discovery, tbs, HBO Max, and discovery+.

Hallmark Channel's the Kitten Bowl was ended in 2022, but is now being replaced by the Great American Rescue Bowl. It airs on the Great American Family Channel.

Remember, drink responsibly.
