That looks like a legendary find in a Fallout video game. Provides 8 essential Vitamins Minerals and Radiation Resistence.

Supermarket find when in St. Louis.  Went a couple times from San Antone to a game. I was actually looking for the liquor isle when spotting it.

I've never seen or heard of the Rams and Seahawks being bitter rivals. The Rams rival is the 49ers.  Seattle would be more like Utah not usc. If Utah were playing Michigan for the national championship, I'd pull for the Utes. 

The Rams and Hawks have had a good rivalry for some time now, going back to St. Louis. They aren't bitter rivals, just divisional rivals. 

Even when they sucked there they gave the Seahawks a hard time and played us tough. 

The 49ers are more of our bitter rivalry, especially during the Harbough/Kaepernick years. We've had their number of late. Beat them twice this season despite an injury riddled down year. 

It's not really the Rams players or org who I dislike, nor is it any of you all here...just the fans who I've interacted with at local bars and games when they came up to Seattle. Left a bad taste in my mouth. It was kind of like Dodgers fans at the Big A.

Go Bengals!! 

Question to you Rams fans here.

Were you fans when they were Anaheim and St. Louis, or just prior to St. Louis.... then became a fan again when they returned to LA? 

I just wonder how many stopped rooting for the Rams when they left Anaheim, only to start rooting for them again when they returned.

I know @Crampknees has been a fan the entire time, but I wonder how many can say that.

Same as Crampknees, since 1966

I have So Cal friends and family that jumped on the Raiders when they came, some stayed Raiders and some jumped back to Rams.  I think that's acceptable.

I always assumed that 49er fandom was a symptom of being in a coma already

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva is in charge of security at the big game and spoke about the idea of enforcing the mask mandate in an interview with Moret.

"How in the world do you enforce mask wearing, are you supposed to arrest people?" Moret asked.

"We're not going to be the first responder, being the mask police. I don't think that's our role," Villanueva replied. 

People who refuse to put on a mask after being told to do so could face a fine ranging from $100 to $500.

Well, they could start in the governors and mayor's private suites and then work their way to the commissioner's box and down the line that way, one luxury suite at a time. That shouldn't take much longer than the 3rd quarter to write up all of those fines.

Some of the big bets coming in:

One big player already has put money on the Rams. According to BetMGM, a bettor in Las Vegas placed three $1 million bets with its sportsbook on Saturday:

• Rams -0.5 (+105) in the first quarter

• Rams -2.5 (-120) in the first half

• Rams over 13.5 (-115) in the first half

 

I think this is the mattress dude that always wins:

Caesars Sportsbook's biggest wagers were on the Bengals to win the game straight-up. Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale, a Houston furniture store owner, placed two money-line bets on Cincinnati totaling $9.5 million with Caesars in Louisiana. McIngvale, who often uses the betting market to mitigate risk on his store's promotional giveaways, would win $16.2 million if the Bengals win the Super Bowl.

I'm hoping before the day is over he is going from a plush top king to a futon.
