When it comes to the Super Bowl, do you have a favorite part?
According to a recent poll of 4,730 adults, 32% prefer the game. 20% say NONE of it, 16% like the halftime show, and 14% like the commercials. 11% aren't sure and 6% prefer the announcers' commentary.
The game takes place Sunday, February 11th at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. It airs at 6:30 p.m. Eastern on CBS and Paramount+. Usher will perform the Halftime Show.

Nickelodeon is saving the day by making the Super Bowl even more entertaining for all, with coverage straight from SpongeBob's Home: Bikini Bottom. Adding hilarious graphics to every play, silly sound effects as players run across the field and sideline reporting with Spongebob Squarepants characters, like Patrick Star and Sandy Cheeks, the Super Bowl LVIII Live From Bikini Bottom on Nickelodeon is fun for the whole family.

Elmo from "Sesame Street" just wanted to have a happy start to the week. He tweeted yesterday, quote, "Elmo is checking in! How is everybody doing?" But he was met with some sad realness.
Here are some of the best responses:
One user commented, quote, "Elmo I'm gonna be real I am at my [effing] limit."
Another said, quote, "Elmo I've got to level with you baby we are fighting for our lives."
T-Pain chimed in, quote, "I'm just looking for somebody to talk to and show me some love if you know what I mean."
Rachel Zegler said, quote, "Resisting the urge to tell Elmo that I am kinda sad."
Dionne Warwick replied with a GIF of her staring at the camera and looking down.
"The Walking Dead" used a GIF of a bloody Rick Grimes screaming on his knees.
And his buddies from the street chimed in,
Oscar the Grouch predictably said, "Grouchy..." and the Cookie Monster said, "Me doing okay. Me would be doing better if me had some cookies!"
Big Bird replied, "Day 6. Still tiny. #HelpBigBird". He's apparently been shrunk to a tiny size.
--
But Big Bird, seemingly out of nowhere, posted on X (formerly Twitter) that he was small — as if he woke up that way one day. Suddenly, his 8'2" frame shrunk to insect size.
From there, the account for Big Bird has posted repeatedly about being small. And being stuck in his new, tiny size.
Big Bird seemed to grapple with his very identity. A mashable reporter says, "Frankly, the posts feel like cosmic horror."
Obviously, it's marketing..but what's the end game? Stay tunes.
This story was brought to you the letter B and the number 42.

One of the big mysteries is what happened to Amelia Earhart. She was on a trip trying to circumnavigate the globe in 1937 when she and her navigator Fred Noonan disappeared.
They were last seen leaving New Guinea and never made it to Howland Island for refuling.
Over the weekend, Deep Sea Vision revealed its discovery of “what appears to be Earhart’s Lockheed 10-E Electra," which they found after scanning “more than 5,200 square miles of ocean floor.”
The searcher is Tony Romeo, the pilot and real estate investor
who also previously worked as a U.S. Air Force intelligence officer, has spent $11 million to fund the search so far, according to WSJ and Today.

A major food brand desperately wants us to start dipping our PIZZA in GUACAMOLE. Hormel Foods owns the brand Wholly Guacamole, and they're behind the push.
They did a poll that found 74% of us would reach for guacamole at a Super Bowl party, and 91% would reach for pizza. But only 17% have tried them together.
