Around the remote: Super Bowl LIII is annual NFL showcase
DON’T MISS: Super Bowl LIII – Break out the hot wings. It’s the day when we shovel thousands of calories into our faces and hunker down to watch big, burly men pummel each other on plastic grass. This time, it’s the Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots (Yes, them again!) waging gridiron war in Atlanta. Jim Nantz and Tony Romo call the action from Mercedes-Benz Stadium, while the rock group Maroon 5 tries to move like Jagger at halftime, and Madison Avenue spends a gazillion dollars on commercials. (3:30 p.m., Sunday, CBS).
Other bets
