There's no bigger sports week in the United States than the lead-up to,telegram lucah and ultimate arrival of, Super Bowl Sunday.
Not to sound like some politician, but in a country divided over most everything, the one thing we seem to be able to agree on is football. Seriously, of the top 25 most-watched television program last year, 22 were NFL games. The entire top 8 belonged to NFL games, with the Super Bowl far and away the most-watched program. Americans love football.
So yeah, the online discourse was pretty much focused on the Super Bowl this week. Sure, people are interested in the actual game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs. But there's also the wonderful snacks. And, of course, the highly anticipated halftime performance from Rihanna.
