People will watch and bet it anyway, so why not cut some corners". I type that as a gambler and fantasy player but I wonder if that stuff has taken away a little from the passion of the overall sporting aspect of it.

I guess so. I just really thought that in being in LA would make them go absolutely far out. They love to brag so much about how much the stadium cost to build every other sentence.
Maybe they realized nobody gave a **** about the players or teams? I can kind of understand why they went all out last year because the whole world was a shit show and they figured they might as well put on a show and try and make it feel more “epic” and “emotional”. And Tom Brady vs Mahomes is definitely a hype event.
But I’m in awe they couldn’t do the bare minimum of having team intros and I absolutely hate HATE HATE not doing the trophy walk. I was really disappointed when our guys didn’t get to experience that.
The SB should not be treated like a Thursday night game!
