We couldn’t resist. With February 11 coming sooner than we think, let’s introduce the Massachusetts BIG GAME Poll! Who are you rooting for?

It’s called the Big Game, where 90% of the country is sad that their team is again not playing. So what do we do? We reserve that Sunday night for some exciting comfort food. We are hopeful of better commercials than last year, and a halftime show that is not Maroon 5.  

Big Game Fun Facts

Day: Sunday February 11

Time: 6:30 pm on CBS, WBZ-TV 4

Who: Kansas City Chiefs VS San Francisco 49ers

Where: Allegiant Stadium Las Vegas, NV. 

Halftime Performer: Usher 

The amazing Chiefs led by young star quarterback Patrick Mahomes will have appeared in the Big Game SIX times after February 11. The 49ers have appeared EIGHT times. What’s fascinating about 49ers QB Brock Purdy, is that he is STILL under a rookie contract. Purdy’s 4 year, $3.74 million dollar deal pays him $935,000 a year, about $674,000 a year after taxes, and less after agent fees. Compare that to Mahomes who will get reportedly $56.85 million THIS YEAR ALONE. So if Brock wins the BIG GAME, he can expect a BIG RAISE.

Chiefs Massachusetts Connection

Did you know that TWO of the Chiefs assistant coaches are from Massachusetts? Defensive line coach Joe Cullen was born in Quincy! Add to that, Stephen Spagnuolo, the defensive coordinator was born in Whitinsville! 

Massachusetts BIG GAME Poll

While we can’t ask for your favorite Big Game commercial yet, we can ask for your team! We took to trusty Facebook to ask Massachusetts football fans what teams will they be rooting for in the Big Game:

 

There are TOO many to post all of them here. You’ll be laughing at the comments. No, Taylor Swift isn’t playing and you can’t vote for Travis Kelce to propose to Taylor at half time.

Bill Belichick memes: The definitive list

  • The Orange Juice Photo

    Football insider Jeff Howe ought to be collecting royalties on this one. Howe magically produced arguably THE Belichick meme when he snapped him at the perfect time sipping a glass of orange juice. Ever since then, whenever Belichick got himself a W in any way, shape or form, you saw this all over Twitter:

    You can be sure that you’ll be having breakfast with Bill again at some point.

  • The “Stone Cold” Steve Austin Music

    Patriots fans know this all-too-well, mainly from off-season moves and trade rumors. A player is available? Here comes Bill. Whomever added the “Stone Cold” Steve Austin music gets a chef’s kiss.

  • The Binoculars

    This one’s a little simplier, but the same concept as the “Stone Cold” one. There’s a player out there that might be of interest, so Belichick’s doing a little “Oh lookie here” with his binoculars. A tried-and-true classic Belichick meme.

  • The Dog

    Perhaps some New England fans don’t find this one particularly funny, because the Patriots’ drafting hasn’t been so great in recent years. But it was a nice, light humorous moment from Belichick himself – and we know those are rare – to plop his dog Nike down at the computer during draft night for the TV cameras. And yet another Belichick meme was born. The beauty of this one is that it doesn’t even need to be Belichick-centric in its use.

  • The Rings

    Belichick went viral before Super Bowl LIV between the Chiefs and 49ers, when he appeared in a pregame ceremony and flashed all his Super Bowl rings to literally the world. An all-time flex by an all-time coach.

  • The Ripped Hoodie

    Belichick’s cutoff hoodie and disheveled Patriots gear have become such a part of him that they transcend memes in the first place. But there have certainly been moments that the clothing became part of the fun. Like when Belichick sat down for a video conference in 2020 and looked as unkempt as ever. It doesn’t look like he’s got a hoodie on here, but he might as well…

  • The Tablet Slam

    This one has no particular defining moment, but it’s perhaps the defining moment of Belichick’s frequent struggles with technology and equipment. No piece of gadgetry was on the receiving end of more Belichick abuse on the Patriots’ sideline than that poor Microsoft Surface tablet.
