An East Coast-based marketing company has planted a billboard for a phony 'pep rally in your pocket' near the Chiefs' stadium in Kansas City. Anyone who calls is treated to the Eagles' fight song.


America has spoken . . . and we will be rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.  But by a pretty slim margin.

According to a new poll, 48% of Americans say they'll "definitely" or "probably" watch the Super Bowl.

And 29% of them will be pulling for Philly . . . as opposed to 22% for the Kansas City Chiefs.  49% don't care.  Yeah, it's one of those years.

When these two teams played two years ago, the Chiefs were the favorites, 30% to 27%.

Travis Kelce definitely doesn't need this level of drama heading into the biggest game of the year . . . but he might have lost the support of Taylor Swift's fans.

As you've probably heard, President Trump is going to the Super Bowl.  He'll be the first sitting president to attend the big game.

And the other day, Travis weighed in.  He said, quote, "No matter who the president is, I know I'm excited because it's the biggest game of my life. (should have stopped here)

"It's a great honor.  Having the president there, it's the best country in the world, and that's pretty cool."

Swifties didn't like that since Trump and Taylor have beef.

An unidentified source claims "She doesn't want to be the center of attention. She just wants to support Travis and help him focus on the game."

A poll looked at which NFL teams will have the DRUNKEST fans on Super Bowl Sunday.

BALTIMORE RAVENS fans took the top spot, averaging 3.8 drinks during the game.  So, almost one drink per quarter.

Here are the Top Five fanbases they expect to drink the most . . .

1.  Ravens fans, 3.8 drinks during the game

2.  Raiders fans, 3.7

3.  Giants fans, 3.6

4.  Bills fans, also 3.6

5.  A six-way tie:  Vikings, Jets, Cowboys, Packers, Bears, and EAGLES fans at 3.5 drinks during the game

Chiefs fans tied for 11th at 3.4. So, Eagles fans might be a little drunker.

Fans of the Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons will drink the least, at 2.4 drinks during the game.

They also looked at who's pre-gaming it:  Cowboys, Bears, Bills, Chiefs, and Lions fans are the most likely to start drinking before the game even starts.

Cowboys fans are also the most likely to MISS part of the game because they drank too much. The Eagles are next on that list. The Chiefs are fifth.

The Super Bowl is ALWAYS the most-watched telecast of the year by far so obviously, there are many reasons to watch.  But which is YOUR favorite?


In a new poll, 30% of people said their favorite part is the GAME. 


17% tune in mostly for the commercials, which in recent years have been disappointing compared to the heyday 20-ish years ago.


16% are mostly excited about on the spectacle of the halftime show.  Kendrick Lamar is headlining this year.


2% claim their favorite part is "the announcers' commentary."  This year, it'll be Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady in the booth with Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi on the sidelines.


And 9% of people are "not sure" what they like best.  The other 26% say they don't really love ANY of it.  


As for the breakdown, women are MUCH more likely to be interested in the halftime show and commercials than men.  And younger adults are more likely to be excited about the halftime show.

How many times do you wear a shirt before you wash it?  Just once?  Maybe twice?  People online are making fun of France for telling its people to wear their shirts FIVE TIMES. 


They also say to wear bras seven times in between washes . . . workout clothes three times . . . pajamas for a week . . . and jeans for a month.


The advice comes from their Ecological Transition Agency, which is like their EPA.  They want people to stop doing so much laundry, because it's bad for the environment and ruins your clothes.

Need to catch up on sleep this weekend?  A nice long nap might help . . . or will it?  A sleep doctor listed their top four tips for the perfect nap.  And sleeping too long might not actually help you in the long run.


1.  Keep it short.  20 to 30 minutes is ideal.  Any longer than that can keep you up at night.  He says the best time to take a nap is between 1:00 and 3:00 P.M.


2.  Get comfortable.  A bed is ideal.  Though, some experts say couches are better, because your bed might encourage you to nap too long.  Either way, just don't fall asleep in a chair.  It should be a short nap, but a good one.


3.  Get the lighting and temperature just right.  60 to 67 degrees is perfect.  You don't need a pitch-black room, but dim lighting is good.


4.  Be careful with coffee.  You may not be able to nap if you drink it too late in the morning.  Though, some experts say drinking it RIGHT before a nap can be good.  Caffeine takes 30 minutes to metabolize.  So if you chug some coffee and immediately fall asleep, you'll wake up feeling VERY energized.
