Inside Super Bowl XXV: Whitney Houston's anthem, Bill Belichick's game plan and Scott Norwood's miss
There was speculation the game could be postponed or canceled as the United States and its allies were in a war with Iraq that began Aug. 2, 1990. It ended a month after the Super Bowl on Feb. 28, so security for the game was strict, though there were no known credible threats of an attack.

Trent Dilfer still bitter about split with Baltimore Ravens after winning Super Bowl XXXV

As the Ravens celebrate the 20th anniversary of their Super Bowl XXXV triumph on Thursday, Trent Dilfer remains disappointed that he became the first quarterback not given the chance to defend his title. On Jan. 28, 2001, Dilfer made a triumphant return to Tampa, Florida, where he left as a struggling first-round pick for the Buccaneers and came back to help the Ravens to a 34-7 win over the New York Giants. Two weeks later, Dilfer was informed that Baltimore intended to sign another starting quarterback in free agency. "You know, I've been through a lot in my life and I try not to be bitter about anything," said Dilfer, who is now a high school head coach at Lipscomb Academy in Nashville, Tennessee. "I'd say that's one I'm still harboring a little bit of bitterness because of the why. It was so poorly evaluated on their behalf. They knew I was hurt."

Btw, Jack did commission it from Bissette, and they did give me permission to use it when I opened the Chophouse at the Kingdom. You wouldn't know any of this because you were banned from that board just after it opened. I've been using it for my av here since 2010. Jack still owns the artwork, but it's mine in the sense that he's given me permission to use it, something you don't have.

You lie about everything, just like you're lying about this. I do NOT give you permission to use it.

Bettor places $2.3 million wager on Super Bowl underdog Tampa Bay Buccaneers to cover

The largest reported bet on Super Bowl LV so far is on the underdog Tampa Bay Buccaneers. On Thursday night, a bettor in Nevada placed a $2.3 million wager on the Bucs +3.5 (-115) with sportsbook BetMGM. If Tampa Bay covers the spread against the Kansas City Chiefs, the bettor would win a net $2 million. According to company spokesperson Elisa Richardson, the bet was placed on BetMGM's mobile app and is the largest Super Bowl wager any U.S. sportsbook had reported as of Friday morning. The Chiefs remained consensus 3-point favorites and were attracting 74% even when it came to the point-spread bets at Caesars Sportsbook by William Hill. The two largest Super Bowl bets William Hill had taken as of Friday were both on the Chiefs: $120,000 on Kansas City -3 (-120), and a $95,000 money-line bet on the Chiefs at -165 odds that would pay a net $57,575.

Sources: NFL testing Buccaneers, Chiefs twice daily for COVID-19 ahead of Super Bowl LV

The NFL is ramping up COVID-19 protocols leading up to Super Bowl LV. Coaches and players for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs will be tested twice daily before the Feb.7 game in Tampa, Florida, sources told ESPN. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy confirmed that players receive a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test in the morning and a rapid PCR test later in the afternoon. As of today, any player with a positive test will be ruled out for the Super Bowl, which will remain on as scheduled, ESPN senior NFL insider Adam Schefter reported. The NFL successfully navigated a full season with no game cancellations despite several potential COVID outbreaks with the Tennessee Titans, Baltimore Ravens and other teams. The league punished teams that broke protocol with fines and/or loss of draft picks.

Fanatics sees record sales for Tom Brady merchandise in 2-week period before 10th Super Bowl

With Tom Brady leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to an NFC championship and a trip to Super Bowl LV, fans are gobbling up all they can in Brady and Bucs merchandise.Fanatics, the NFL's official e-commerce partner, said Brady has become their best-selling NFL player ever for the two-week period between the conference championship and Super Bowl. Sunday will mark Brady's 10th Super Bowl appearance. While the top-selling market for Brady merchandise since the conference championship is Tampa, with Orlando and Miami being the third- and fifth-ranked markets, New York has jumped to second and Boston has fluctuated between third and fourth over the past several days. Brady's Bucs jersey was Fanatics' No. 1-selling jersey across all sports from Aug. 1 to Nov. 1 of 2020; the NFLPA lists him as second in sales for the whole 2020 season, behind Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes as the most-sold jersey. Brady had the NFLPA's highest-selling jersey with the Patriots in 2018 and 2019, and saw his jersey sales go up 900% since joining the Bucs last March. For perspective, the Bucs didn't have a player in the top 50 of NFLPA jersey sales in 2018 or 2019.

Survey: Super Bowl betting expected to decrease about 37% due to coronavirus pandemic

An estimated 23.2 million Americans plan to bet on Suer Bowl LV, combining to risk potentially $4.3 billion -- an expected decrease of approximately 37% from last year, according to research by the American Gaming Association released Tuesday.With the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, both figures are down from last year's estimates from the AGA, despite 36 million more Americans having access to legal sportsbooks in their state or jurisdiction. Similar research from the AGA last year estimated that 26 million Americans would combine to bet $6.8 billion on Super Bowl LIV.The pandemic is expected to cut into the amount wagered at retail sportsbooks and reduce casual bets, such as office and squares pools that are made in social settings. Online betting on Sunday's matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, however, could increase dramatically, the research showed, with a record 7.6 million Americans potentially placing wagers on mobile betting apps and websites, a 63% year-over-year increase.The research is based on an online survey of 2,198 adults conducted last week by polling firm Morning Consult on behalf of the AGA.

The NFL has seen eight instances of repeat Super Bowl champions but none in the past 16 years. It has happened three times since unrestricted free agency and the salary cap were instituted almost 30 years ago and ushered in the era of annual roster upheaval.
