The Super Bowl has become such a major cultural event that it’s essentially a holiday at this point. In fact, it’s the second best, after the December blitz of Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa/New Year’s. Even those who don’t like football watch this one game a year, just like the massive amount of people who only attend church on Easter.
Super Bowl LI was a particularly interesting night for a few reasons. Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots won their fifth ring over the championship-less Atlanta Falcons in a show-stopping comeback. It was even the first Super Bowl to ever reach overtime.
