Super Bowl Prop bets:
Betting on the weirdest and most trivial aspects of Super Bowl Sunday (from length of the National Anthem to unique features of the game itself) are called "Prop Bets" and have become a Las Vegas tradition associated with the big game. Here are some of the strangest being offered and the odds or Over/Under (source: Bovada.com):
--How long will it take LUKE BRYAN to sing the national anthem? Over/under, 2:09
And it varies, as you can see by the last ten singers:
--Super Bowl 41 - Billy Joel 1:30
--Super Bowl 42 - Jordin Sparks 1:54
--Super Bowl 43 - Jennifer Hudson 2:10
--Super Bowl 44 - Carrie Underwood 1:47
--Super Bowl 45 - Christina Aguilera 1:54
--Super Bowl 46 - Kelly Clarkson 1:34
--Super Bowl 47 - Alicia Keys 2:35
--Super Bowl 48 - Renee Fleming 1:54
--Super Bowl 49 - Idina Menzel 2:04
--Super Bowl 50 - Lady Gaga 2:09Animal Stories:
A Wisconsin cow has set a new world record.
A four-year-old Holstein cow named MY GOLD set a record for the most milk ever produced. The animal managed to give 77,480 pounds of milk in 2016. My Gold beat the previous another Wisconsin cow named BUR-WALL BUCKEYE GIGI. The average milk produced by a cow in a year is just under 25-thousand pounds. (Still)Pilot news:
BET apparently got such good ratings for its three-part "The New Edition Story" that they're doing another series called "Street Dreams."
HipHopDX.com says it's not only the same title as a track from NAS' "It Was Written" album, it'll also feature the story of the Queens rapper.The show will reportedly take place in the '90s in New York City, and will detail NAS' journey "from young man to crack dealer to rapper to adult."School daze:
Note to all teachers, if you're going to go commando, don't do a cartwheel for the whole class to see. Police in Oklahoma arrested a substitute teacher for indecent exposure after she did a cartwheel in front of the class while wearing a skirt ...and no underwear. Of course, a student caught the whole thing on video. She was arrested and is still in jail. (Myers)
