Our Sunday started off with this beautiful snowy vista of our backyard. With the weather, it was easy to stay inside and chill most of the day. Furthermore, it gave is time to prepare for the evening festivities.
Yesterday on our walk, Bill and I planned the menu. We debated a number of options but agreed that sandwiches would be most fun. Bill went shopping last night and came home with quite the spread.
He bought ham, roast beef, and pastrami and about six different types of cheese. He also got multiple styles of potato and pasta salads and plenty of chips. When game time came around, everyone had a sandwich. Bill cooked up some mushrooms and onions and melted cheese for Walker’s and mine. Delicious is just the beginning of the adjectives to describe how good it was.
For the sides, there were many chips options to meet a variety of preferences.
Super Bowl LV was played in Tampa Bay between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs. Because of Covid-19 the number of fans allowed in the stadium was reduce to 25,000, the smallest attendance in Super Bowl history. To give the feel of a full stadium, empty seatsheld cardboard cutouts of fans. Somehow it was not the same, but it did made for interesting pans of the stands.
My knitting football event wrapped up today with a Trivia Challenge to highlight some interesting points about this year’s game. I got all but one right.
18 years, 45 days: Age difference between the two quarterbacks. Tom Brady is 18 years and 45 days older than Patrick Mahomes.
Budweiser, Coke, Pepsi: These companies donated the Super Bowl ad money to charity instead of buying ads.
Florida 14: The 14 referred to the number of active players in today’s game that were from Florida. Florida had the largest state representation out of the 50 states. This was the one I got it wrong. In my defense, only five people of 300 hundred in my pool got it right!
101: This Super Bowl was the culmination of the 101st season of National Football League.
It’s a First: There were two answers. This year was the first time a Super Bowl team played in its home stadium and it was the first year that a woman was to officiate a Super Bowl game.
Mason was the only one who stuck around until the end of the game to see Tampa Bay beat the Chiefs with a final score of 31 – 9. Wahoo!
