The Super Bowl is a fun sporting event that brings together America's favorite teams and players, as well as its most die-hard fans. If you've been looking forward to this year's game for months, this article is for you! In it, we'll cover various topics, from the history of the Super Bowl to the teams playing this year's game. Let's get started!

Where is Super Bowl LVII?

The Super Bowl will be played at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The stadium opened in 2006 and has hosted the Super Bowl four times since then.

The stadium located west of Phoenix is a prime illustration of technology and Innovation. It is also home to the Arizona Cardinals and the annual Fiesta Bowl. This Super Bowl LVII will be held on February 12th, 2023.

Who will win the Super Bowl LVII?

It's still challenging to determine which team will win the 57th Super Bowl as the teams who will play are yet to be determined.

However, sportsbooks consider the Kansas City chiefs as favorites, with the Buffalo Bills following closely. The difference between both teams is just 50 in Super Bowl odds. Kansas City Chiefs is at +400, while Buffalo Bills is at +450.

How many Super Bowls have the Kansas City Chiefs won?

The Kansas City Chiefs have won two Super Bowls, the first in 1969 and the second in 2019. They've been to the Super Bowl four times and lost two games. The Chiefs are scheduled to play in their fifth Super Bowl if they make it to the Superbowl next year.

What was the first team to lose five Super Bowl games?

The Denver Broncos are the first team to lose five Super Bowls. The Broncos lost in 1977, 1986, 1987, 1989 and 2013. They were also the first team to lose four Super Bowls (in 1989).

The Buffalo Bills were the second team to lose four Super Bowls. They lost in 1990, 1991, and 1992 and on their fourth attempt in 1993 against the Dallas Cowboys.

What is the most number of points scored by a single team in a single game in Super Bowl history?

The most points scored by a single team in a single game in Super Bowl history was 55. This occurred in Super Bowl XXIV when the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Denver Broncos 55-10. Conversely, the team that scored the least amount of points was the Los Angeles Rams, who only scored three points against the New England Patriots during their loss at Super Bowl LIII.

Who is playing halftime at the Super Bowl this year?

Super Bowl LVI halftime show headliner Rihanna is set to wow the crowd with an exceptional performance on Sunday, Feb 12.

The Super Bowl is known not only for football but also for its halftime performances. The Super Bowl Halftime Show has been around since 1993 when Michael Jackson performed at Super Bowl XXVII in 1993. Since then, there have been several memorable performances, including:

Beyonce’s performance in 2013, where she sang “Listen” while paying homage to Michael Jackson by performing “Billie Jean”;

Katy Perry's 2015 performance which was seen by more than 1 billion people worldwide;

Lady Gaga's 2017 halftime show where she performed five songs, including two covers of David Bowie classics like "Space Oddity" and "Let's Dance".

Conclusion

The Super Bowl is a fun sporting event. It is held annually, and people from all over the country come together to watch the game, eat food and have fun. This year will be no different, as it will likely bring more than 100 million viewers worldwide. 

The first Super Bowl was played in 1967, and the game has evolved over time. As a result, it has become one of America's most highly anticipated sporting events. There are many interesting facts about this event that you might not know, but now you do!

Today the Contemporary Baseball Veterans Committee met and voted on, and elected Fred McGriff unanimously, receiving all sixteen votes.

The committee was comprised of Hall of Fame platers, Greg Maddux, Jack Morris, Ryne Sandberg, Lee Smith, Frank Thomas, Alan Trammell, Executives, Paul Beeston, Theo Epstein, Derrick Hall, Arte Moreno, Kim Ng, Dave St. Peter, Ken Williams and Veteran Media Members/Historians Steve Hirdt, LaVelle Neal and Susan Slusser. 

McGriff, who played First Base, was a five-time All-Star, received 39.8 percent in 2019, his last year on the writer’s ballot, but this committee is more player driven.  He had 493 Home Runs, and likely would have had 500 had there not been a strike in 1994, likely would have had 500.  McGriff’s induction was largely predicted my many (including us), though the 100% tally is a little bit of a surprise. 

Finishing second was Don Mattingly, who had eight votes.  Arguably the greatest New York Yankee to have never won a World Series Ring in the Bronx, Mattingly won a Batting Title (1985), twice led the AL in Hits, and had a lifetime Batting Average of .307.  He is also a nine-time Gold Glove winner and three-time Silver Slugger.  Ranked #35 on Notinhalloffame.com, “Donnie Baseball” was on the ballot for 15 years with his peak coming in year one (28.2%) in his first year (2001).

Curt Schilling was in third with seven votes.  Likely ousted on the regular ballot due to his anti-media stance and right-wing beliefs, Schilling failed to make it past the ten years on the ballot, peaking on his penultimate year, 2021 with 71.1%.

Former two-time MVP, Dale Murphy has six votes.  Ranked #30 on Notinhalloffame.com, Murphy was on the ballot for 15 years, with his highest tally coming in 2000 (23.2%), Murphy’s second year on the ballot.  

Albert Belle, Rafael Palmeiro, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens received four or less votes.  We do not know how many (if any) these former players received.  In the case of the latter three, it is an indictment that the PED-associated players have an even tougher road than they had with the writers.

McGriff will be inducted along with the rest of the inductees this summer.  Please note that we will not be revising our Notinhalloffame.com Baseball list until the conclusion of the Modern Ballot.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Fred McGriff for earning this prestigious honor.

If you are a regular visitor at Notinhalloffame.com, you know that we created the Notinhalloffame NBA Cup, where in every regular season game, we award points (5-4-3-2-1) to the top five performers.  This is the third year that we have done this, and Denver’s Nikola Jokic won the first two.

To keep everyone regularly in the loop this time, we have decided to give regular updates, starting at when the first player cracked 90 Points, and tell all of you the top ten.  We will this going forward with every update as the first player breaches the elevated ten-point threshold afterward.

Here is the current top ten, based on the first player to breach 90 Notinhalloffame Cup Points:

1. Luka Doncic, Dallas Mavericks, 92 Points:  21 Games, 33.4 PPG, 8.6 RPG, 8.6 APG, 1.9 SPG, 0.6 BPG, 31.3 PER, 4.2 WS.  (#3 on last ranking)

Is this the year that Doncic becomes the MVP?  If so, this will make the fifth year that a non-American wins the prize.  At present, he is the current scoring leader, and is also topping the stat line in PER, Win Shares and VORP (2.6).

2. Kevin Durant, Brooklyn Nets, 91 Points:  24 Games, 29.9 PPG, 6.6 RPG, 5.4 APG, 0.7 SPG, 1.8 BPG, 26.7 PER, 4.0 WS.  (#1 on last ranking)

Durant might play for the most dysfunctional team in the NBA, but the Nets struggles cannot be pinned on KD, who has been electric this year.  He is currently leading the league in Points (716) and Field Goals (252).

3. Steph Curry, Golden State Warriors, 90 Points:  22 Games, 30.8 PPG, 6.7 RPG, 7.1 APG, 1.0 SPG, 0.3 BPG, 27.5 PER, 3.9 WS. (#2 on last ranking)

The Warriors have disappointed this year, and are clearly aging, but that is not the case for Curry, who is leading the NBA in Win Shares, Offensive Box Plus/Minus (9.2) and Three-Point Field Goals (115).

4 (Tie). Jayson Tatum, Boston Celtics, 82 Points:  22 Games, 30.8 PPG, 8.0 RPG, 4.4 APG, 0.9 SPG, 1.1 BPG, 26.1 PER, 3.6 WS.  (#4 on last ranking)

Tatum continues to get better which should scare the hell out of anybody cheering against the Celtics.  He has never finished a season averaging over 30 Points per Game, but he is currently over that now.

4 (Tie). Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Oklahoma City Thunder, 82 Points:  21 Games, 31.1 PPG, 4.7 RPG, 6.0 APG, 1.8 SPG, 1.2 BPG, 28.1 PER, 3.5 WS.  (#4 on last ranking)

Gilgeous-Alexander is going to be an All-Star this year, and is shattering last year’s averages, which were already good.

6. Devin Booker, Phoenix Suns, 78 Points:  22 Games, 29.5 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 5.9 APG, 1.1 SPG, 0.5 BPG, 24.5 PER, 3.5 WS. (#8 on last ranking)

Booker is on pace to have the highest PPG and PER of his career.

7.  Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks, 77 Points:  18 Games, 31.8 PPG, 11.2 RPG, 5.4 APG, 0.9 SPG, 1.2 BPG, 29.3 PER, 2.6 WS. (#7 on last ranking)

The two-time MVP missed a few Games, which dropped Antetokounmpo in the standings, but the Bucks are considered the top contenders to win it all this year.

8.  Ja Morant, Memphis Grizzlies, 75 Points:  19 Games, 28.2 PPG, 6.4 RPG, 7.3 APG, 1.1 SPG, 1.2 BPG, 25.7 PER, 2.0 WS. (#6 on last ranking)

Morant is the face of the Grizzles, and he is posting similar numbers from last year, when he took Memphis to the next level.

9 (Tie). Anthony Davis, Los Angeles Lakers, 73 Points:  19 Games, 27.2 PPG, 12.6 RPG, 2.7 APG, 1.4 SPG, 2.4 BPG, 30.6 PER, 3.8 WS. (#9 on last ranking)

Davis has been on fire lately, though the same can’t be said about the rest of his team.  He is currently the league leader in Rebounds per Game. 

10. (Tie). Jaylen Brown, Boston Celtics, 72 Points:  21 Games, 26.6 PPG, 6.9 RPG, 3.5 APG, 1.0 SPG, 0.3 BPG, 20.0 PER, 1.7 WS. (not on the top ten in the last ranking)

Brown’s appearance here gives Boston the only team to have two players in the top ten, and he currently has the highest traditional numbers of his career.

10. (Tie). Donovan Mitchell, Cleveland Cavaliers, 72 Points:  21 Games, 28.7 PPG, 3.9 RPG, 4.9 APG, 1.2 SPG, 0.5 BPG, 24.3 PER, 3.5 WS. (#9 on last ranking)

Mitchell’s numbers in his first year in Cleveland are higher than his last year in Utah, and it is reflecting in the Cavaliers overall performance.

Our next update will happen after the first player breaches 100 Cup Points.

One of our pet projects, the Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is pleased to announce the Finalists for the Class of 2022, which will be the 8^th full class. 

The Semi-Finalists were decided by all of you, after being pared down from other 500 Preliminary Nominees.

Whoever gets inducted this year, will join previous inductees:

The Fictitious Rock and Roll inductees are: Spinal Tap, The Monkees, The Blues Brothers, Gorillaz, Tenacious D, Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, Wyld Stallyns, Alvin and the Chipmunks, The Wonders, Bleeding Gums Murphy, Otis Day and the Nights, Stillwater, Josie and the Pussycats, Marvin Berry and the Starlighters, The Rutles, Eddie and the Cruisers, Schroeder and The Archies.

To mix things up, just like or Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame, we have created a contributor’s section, which saw Dr. Johnny Fever and Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar enter last year.

This year’s Fictitious Rock and Roll Finalists are:

Dethklok (Metalocalypse):  Death Metal has its representative, and they are intriguing ones as they were merchandising giants and have feuds withs supernatural beings.  They are previous two-time Finalists.

Dewey Cox (Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, Portrayed by John C. Reilly):  A multi-time Semi-Finalist, and now two-time Finalists, Cox’s career feels a lot like what would have happened if Johnny Cash’s career went ten steps sideways.  Reilly also has a Finalist (Cal Naughton Jr.) in the Finals for the Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame.

Figrin D’An and the Modal Nodes (Star Wars):  The house band at the Mos Eisley Cantina was a finalist the last two years.  No band can bounce back after seeing a fatality better than this one.  This is their fourth time as Finalists.

Gene Frenkle (Saturday Night Live, Portrayed by Will Ferrell):  If a cowbell virtuoso is Hall of Fame worthy, it is Frenkle, whose signature performance with the Blue Oyster Cult in “Don’t Fear the Reaper” will never be forgotten. Ferrell, like Reilly, also has a Fictitious Athlete as a Finalist, (Ricky Bobby), and it is from the same movie (Talladega Nights).

Lili Von Shtupp (Blazing Saddles, Portrayed by Madeline Kahn):  We love Mel Brooks, and we are happy that for the first time we have a peripheral candidate in our midst.  Now how do we honor Alex Karras for his portrayal of Mongo?  This character is a first time Semi-Finalist and first time Finalist.

Robbie Hart (The Wedding Singer, portrayed by Adam Sandler):  Hart’s biggest moment may have been engineered by Billy Idol in an airplane, but we would like to believe that his songs would be crooned by the like of Idol (or more likely a Lisa Loeb type) sometime after he lived happily ever after.  Hart is a first time Finalist, and Sandler is in the same boat as Reilly and Ferrell, as he has characters (Paul Crewe) in both the Fictitious Athlete and Fictitious Rock Hall Finals.

Sadgasm (The Simpsons, voiced by Dan Castellaneta & Hank Azaria):  You have to hand it to Homer Simpson, who as a young adult won a Grammy, though when he was even younger, and many years later, was fronting a grunge band.  Does he own a DeLorean?  This is a first time Semi-Finalist, and Finalist, and you have to hand it to Homer, who is already in the Fictitious Athlete Hall.

Sex Bob-omb (Scott Pilgrim Vs the World, Portrayed by Michael Cera, Allison Pill & Mark Webber:  A previous Finalist, Sex Bob-omb went through more tribulations any Toronto-based band that we can think of.  They are now four-time Finalists.

The Be Sharps (The Simpsons, Voiced by Dan Castellaneta, Hank Azaria & Harry Shearer):  Former Grammy winners, the Be-Sharps were on top of the world for a brief period of time.  Comprised of Homer (who has the potential of entering twice this year, Barney, Apu and Principal Skinner, they are now six-time Finalists.

The School of Rock (The School of Rock, Portrayed by Jack Black, Joey Gaydos Jr., Kevin Clark, Rebecca Brown, Robert Tsai. Maryam Hassan, Caitlin Hale & Aleisha Allen):  Dewey Finn pretended to be a substitute teacher and used his class as a band to perform at the Battle of the Bands.  How did he not get in more trouble?  They are now four-time Finalists.

The Soggy Bottom Boys (O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Portrayed by George Clooney, John Turturro, Delmar O’Donnell & Chris Thomas King):  The nominees from the pre-rock era comes from escaped convicts in Mississippi.  Throw in the “Crossroads”, and you have one hell of an old school candidate.  They are now three-time Finalists.

You can vote for them here.

This year’s Fictitious Rock and Roll Semi-Finalists Contributors are:

Bruce Dickinson (Saturday Night Live, Portrayed by Christopher Walken):  Dickinson needed more cowbell.  He had a fever for it.  He got it, and the Blue Oyster Cult were forever grateful.  Dickinson was a Finalist last year.

Colonel Homer Simpson (The Simpsons, Voiced by Dan Castallenta):  Homer Simpson is (again) nominated in both categories, here for his discovery and early management of country singer, Lurleen Lumpkin.  He was a Finalist last year.

Curtis (The Blues Brothers, Portrayed by Cab Calloway):  Had it not been for the mentorship of Curtis, the Blues Brothers would not have become the iconic band that they were.  He was a Finalist last year.

Ramona Flowers (Scott Pilgrim Vs the World, Portrayed by Mary Elizabeth Winstead):  Why was Scott Pilgrim fighting the world?  For the love of Ramona Flowers of course!  The ultimate rock muse was a Finalist last year.

Reverend Cleophus Jones (The Blues Brothers, Portrayed by James Brown):  Had it not been for the Reverend, would Joliet Jake have known to put the band back together?

Ruby Rhod (The Fifth Element, Portrayed by Chris Tucker):  If DJs in the future will in fact be like Ruby Rhod, at least we know we will be entertained.  This is a first time Finalist.
