Media observations from Super Bowl LI:
True fact: "Not a tougher man in this stadium tonight." – Joe Buck on former president George H.W. Bush.
Trivia for the nonfootball fan: The post-Super Bowl slot is going to the debut of "24: Legacy."
Using the slot to launch a show occasionally works – "The Wonder Years" and "Family Guy" – but more often doesn’t. Busts are "MacGruder and Loud," "The Last Precinct," "Grand Slam" and "The Good Life" and "Extreme."
Anyone know? Why do referees treat the coin toss like they’re going to do a magic trick?
Why do they have military flyovers for games in domed stadiums?
Is the mascot in the new Google Home ad related to the mascot in the Amazon Alexa ad who couldn’t pick up his keys?
Fuzz buster: By now we should be used to seeing Fox Super Bowl play-by-play man Buck with a few days’ growth of facial hair. And yet we wonder: Did Joe oversleep?
Is Joe depressed?
Is Joe trying to grow a full beard?
How long would it take for Joe to grow a full beard?
Would Joe be up for a live razor ad during the game?
Lesson learned: Bad news for all those who skip the Super Bowl pregame shows because they believe it’s nothing but promos and filler. They missed an interview with movie producer Jon Landau talking up a new Florida theme park ride under construction. So there.
Country music singer and songwriter Luke Bryan performs the national anthem, Lady Gaga performs during the halftime show of Super Bowl 51.
