I did not shoot coke out my nose laughing when I saw this video.  But I would have, if i'd been drinking coke.  So funny.  And thus finishes a perfect romp through football'ness this week.

THE FAM-BAM, DRINKS, AND PRAYERS

What a game!  Some say it was the Denver Bronco's defense that dictated who'd snare the victory in Superbowl 50.  Still you gotta give it to 39-year-old quarterback Peyton Manning.  Now, will he continue on?  Will he retire?   Peyton would have a few beers, and say his thank-you prayers, but first  " 'I want to kiss my wife and kids. I want to go hug my family,' "  he told journalists when asked seconds after the game what his future plans were.  Sweet, right?!      news

SUPER TACO BELL

Superbowl was a good time.  Commercials were meh.  And I liked the Coldplay (and friends) halftime show.     
Taco Bell's commercial used Live Más (English translation-"more") as their slogan.  (Wee reminder:  in taco language however, there is nothing as awesome as the classic SNL taco town commercial parody.)    More can be better, but using discretion never hurts.

BALL HOGS

It's a wrap.  The 2016 Superbowl players will be the Denver Broncos, and the Charlotte Panthers.  To add to your confidence this game will indeed happen, and there will indeed be footballs, you should know a few weeks back game officials left playoff footballs at their hotel, before the Patriots and Chiefs showdown.   Massachusetts State Police came to the rescue, and "drove the balls and gauges to Gillette Stadium and arrived about an hour before kickoff."      story
