Super Bowl LII is finally almost upon us. Thank freaking God. Not sure we can take any more 69 jokes, old people making ridiculous claims, stories about what kind of oil the poles in Philly will be greased with, and silly tattoo bets.
That being said, there are actually some very interesting pieces of trivia associated with this year’s Super Bowl between the New England Patriots (again) and the Philadelphia Eagles.
