Who is rooting for Matthew Strafford in this game!!
Here is a fun Super Bowl joke, thanks to 
:
A good buddy of mine has 2 Super Bowl tickets, 40-yard line box seats. He paid $2,500 each but he didn't realize last year when he bought them, it was going to be on the same day as his wedding. Probably because of the extra game this year If you’re interested, he’s looking for someone to take his place. It's at Temple Bethel Synagogue in Laguna Beach at 3pm. The bride's name is Nicole, she's 5'4", about 115 pounds, good cook too. She'll be in the white dress.
