Welcome to The List,
Here are a few of the sillier Super Bowl topics we saw trending: Philly fans were proud New Orleans greased the poles on Bourbon Street. “Barstool Sports” did a round-up of Eagles fans who couldn’t spell “Eagles”. People hated Fox’s ‘scorebug’ graphic. And a $100 salad went viral.

The 2025 CMT Awards show has been canceled by its parent company Paramount Global. They are merging with Skydance Media and the deal won’t be completed for another couple months. Officially the show is on a “pause” and they will re-evaluate for next year.

Aaron Rodgers will not return to the New York Jets next season. The 41-year-old quarterback will be a free agent in exactly 31 days who is eligible to sign with any team in the NFL. The organization informed him of its decision after he flew to New Jersey to meet with the organization last week.

Diddy allegedly thinks someone in his own family sold him out after 50 Cent got access to leaked footage for the Netflix documentary ‘The Reckoning’.

Luke Combs told ESPN he wants to headline the Super Bowl halftime show and watch his Carolina Panthers win that same game. Bold. Very bold.
