TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Here is where all the losing team’s Super Bowl merch goes
Congrats to the Kansas City Chiefs on winning Super Bowl LVII Sunday night. Sorry to all the Eagles fans. What a game.
If you didn’t know, they NFL has to make “Super Bowl Champion” merch for both teams so they have it ready to give to the winning team’s players. For years people have speculated what they do with the losing team’s shirts and hats since it immediately becomes irrelevant.
To make sure it doesn’t go to waste there is a charity group called Good360 who handles all the donations of the clothing. Over the years they have sent the items to help people in areas like Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Which they will do again this year. A great cause.
Though, it is kind of humorous to me that somewhere there are groups of people who have a false sense of past Super Bowl history Champions.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What’s up with the grass at the Super Bowl?
You’ve probably heard about the grass during the Super Bowl last night. A lot of players were slipping and complaining about the turf. So what was up with the grass anyway?
For the past two years The NFL has been developing this new grass for last night’s Super Bowl. The grass was grown at a local sod farm in Phoenix right near the site of the game.
Seems like they should’ve picked a game that wasn’t the biggest one of the year to test out this new grass.
