While most of us were sitting back enjoying a cold Coors Light on Sunday evening, Usher was prepping for the performance of a lifetime. One that will go down in history, in homage to the black artists that came before him. The performance ultimately featured a range of artists from his past including Ludacris, Lil Jon and Alicia Keys and was one to remember.

Throwback

When Usher kicked off his Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII halftime show performance with ‘Caught Up’, we knew it was going to be an ode to Usher when he was king of the world. It’s been nearly two decades since most of the mega hits but Usher’s style and moves are timeless. His ability to perform not just at the mic but with his feet remains captivating all these years later. What he also does is pay homage to Black artists who came before him and helped shape the career he built. The R&B star said as much in an interview with Good Morning America back on February 2.

Non-belieber

When people found out that Usher was performing at the Super Bowl naturally everyone started speculating who would join him on stage. A popular theory was that Usher would bring on Justin Bieber. After all, it would only make sense considering the role Usher played in Bieber’s career and let’s not forget about their song Somebody to Love. The Super Bowl would have been a great time for Bieber to announce he is possibly ready to start performing full-time again but sadly Beliebers were disappointed when the camera panned to Bieber and his wife Hailey Bieber sitting on the sidelines. A damper on the performance? Slightly, but not the end of the world.

The fits

Usher made a splash with his wardrobe during the Super Bowl halftime show. Starting with a custom Dolce and Gabbana wool coat adorned with Swarovski crystals, pearls, and intricate motifs, he then transitioned into an asymmetrical bomber jacket with a dazzling phoenix pin, layered over sculptural pants.

The third look featured a Swarovski-crystal-embroidered vest atop a Marcello ribbed tank top. Usher’s grand finale included a bespoke Off-White™ ensemble, a fusion of five pieces adorned with a staggering 394,000 crystals, perfectly capturing the high-energy “roller-cross” essence of his performance at Allegiant Stadium. The Off White team worked with costume designer Tanja Caldwell, fashion director Brooklyn Styles, and creative director Aakomon Jones on the singers’ looks.

Overall, the Super Bowl came as advertised and the half time show continues to be among the top topics leading up to and afterwards. Usher gave us a trip down memory lane and we’re not complaining, in fact, quite the opposite. So pick up a 2-4- of Coors Light, and let’s continue to raise a toast to yet another iconic Super Bowl halftime show and for the rest of February. Cheers!

When the Super Bowl rolls around, it’s not just the clash of titans on the field that gets the crowd roaring—it’s also the ad-break gladiators vying for the throne of commercial supremacy. Last night’s spectacle was a marketing masterclass, with brands throwing down in the arena of creativity to capture our imaginations (and wallets) in mere seconds. Here’s a look at the top ads that scored big, leaving us laughing, crying, and, in some cases, utterly bewildered—in the best way possible.

With lots to choose from, we got you covered…

With so many to choose from, we’ve brought in reinforcements to figure out which ads stood out the most for their creativity and ability to make us drop the wings and nachos while we stared at the screen for 30 seconds.

The Chill Train

The legendary Chill Train that went on a national tour serving up prizes and a chance to go to the big game in 2025, not sure how you beat a chance at that.

Talkin Like Walken

We love it when a commercial plays on reality…you know (said in Christopher Walken accent).

Mullets

Everyone got a mullet, even the turtle. But seeing Steve Austin sporting one was gold. Well done Kawasaki.

The DunKings

Anytime you get Ben Affleck and Matt Damon together, you know you’re getting something good.

Like a good neighbaaa

There’s something nostalgic about seeing Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito together.

Don’t forget…

A mini Friends reunion! That’s it…that’s the thought.

Deadpool & Wolverine

Not a commercial but like come on…Deadpool and Wolverine’s first trailer, the most anticipated film of the summer anyone?

Cera…Ve

Is Michael Cera the perfect ambassador for CeraVe? Has to be the best play on words commercial.

Don’t lick the bling

Who wouldn’t want an M&M inspired Super Bowl ring? Plus the peanut butter flavour is a win in our books.

Super Bowl File

Who wouldn’t want a chance at $1M? The TurboTax Super Bowl File sweepstakes is underway until February 15, 2024.

Imagine…

Imagine a world where the twist of an OREO can change everything. Literally…

Javier in Frame

It doesn’t get more heartwarming than this. Well done Google.

Which ones did we miss? Reach out on socials and let us know what your favourite Super Bowl commercial was. At the end of the day, we love creativity, playfulness and anything that pulls on our heartstrings.

The Super Bowl isn’t just a game; it’s an unofficial holiday, a reason for friends and family to gather and revel in the spectacle of sport, commercials, and halftime shows. If you’re aiming to host the ultimate Super Bowl watch party that will have your friends talking until the next season kicks off, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s dive into the playbook and break down the winning strategy for the perfect game day gathering. From food, to drinks and games, we got you covered.

Setting the stage for Super Bowl Sunday

First things first: ensure your viewing area is ready for prime time. A large, high-definition TV is the centerpiece, of course, but comfortable seating is equally important. Arrange your living room to accommodate your guest list, ensuring everyone has a good view of the screen. Consider renting a projector for an even more immersive experience.

The MVP of any Super Bowl party: Drinks

Keep your guests hydrated with a selection of drinks:

  1. Beer: It’s not a Super Bowl party without it. Stock up on a variety of them, but Coors Light is a must. Molson also has a great selection to offer too. 
  2. Cocktails: For the cocktail drinkers, create a (or a couple) signature Super Bowl cocktail or set up a DIY cocktail station with a few simple recipes. Here’s some of our favourite recipes.
  3. Non-alcoholic options: Ensure there’s something for everyone, including soft drinks, water, and non-alc options are great too. Plus, if you’re looking for the beer taste without the alcohol, there’s always Molson excel.

Excess of snack options

A diverse snack lineup is crucial for keeping energy high from kickoff to the final whistle. Here are the must-haves for your snack table:

  1. Classic chicken wings: Offer a variety of flavours—buffalo, BBQ, and teriyaki—to cater to all tastes. If you’re down for the challenge, make some fresh home-made Coors Light battered wings for the win. 
  2. Dip station: Think beyond the classic salsa and guacamole. Include options like queso, spinach artichoke, and buffalo chicken dip, served with an assortment of chips and veggies.
  3. Sliders: Mini burgers or pulled pork sliders are easy to eat and can be prepared in advance.
  4. Football-themed treats: Get creative with desserts by making football-shaped cookies or a cake that resembles the field.

Halftime entertainment

The halftime show is a highlight, but why not add your own entertainment? Organize a Super Bowl trivia competition or a betting pool for scores, plays, and commercials. Provide small prizes to keep everyone engaged and excited throughout the event.

Speaking of commercials, stay tuned as we’ll be dropping our Editor’s picks for the best commercials post big game!

Setting up a game day atmosphere

Decorations can transform your space and amplify the game day vibe. Use team colours for balloons and tablecloths, and sprinkle football-themed decor around your living area. A well-placed poster or two can add to the festive atmosphere.

Tech touchdowns

Ensure your WiFi is up to the task—nothing kills the vibe like a buffering screen during a crucial play. Test your setup before guests arrive, and consider a soundbar or external speakers to make every tackle and touchdown call resonate.

The ultimate Super Bowl LVIII watch party checklist:

  • High-definition TV or projector setup
  • Comfortable seating arrangements
  • Varied snack menu including wings, dips, sliders, and themed desserts
  • Beverage selection with beer, cocktails, and non-alcoholic options

In a move that’s both cheeky and chill, Coors Light is dusting off its iconic beer train, not just to make a splash on the Canadian Big Game commercial scene but to embark on a frosty coast-to-coast caper. Yes, you heard that right. The legendary Chill Train is going on a national tour, delivering a cold blast of relaxation right in time for the Big Game on February 11, 2024. Get ready to catch this icy spectacle on CTV and TSN during the game’s first dynamite half.

Not just any train ride

It’s a high-velocity journey from the Rockies to your doorstep, bringing with it a cargo that transforms every touchpoint into a scene straight out of a winter wonderland. At a breathtaking speed of 1,500 km/h, the Chill Train zips through the country’s diverse landscapes – from the towering mountains and sprawling prairies to the heart of suburban life, leaving a trail of frost in its wake. Its mission? To crash the ultimate watch party in a blaze of icy glory, all to the rhythm of “Love Train” by The O’Jays, because nothing says chill like a classic tune.

Coast to coast

Leslie Malcolm, Vice President Marketing at Molson Coors Beverage Company, talks about the Chill Train’s national tour: “With the Big Game drawing in record numbers of Canadian viewers each year, it’s the perfect stage to showcase the Coors Light Chill Train’s journey across our great nation”. Malcolm adds, “It’s our way of sharing a bit of chill with everyone, ensuring that regardless of the game’s intensity, there’s always a moment to cool down”.

The Chill Train’s route through Vancouver, Calgary, and Toronto is more than a spectacle; it’s a treasure hunt for Canadians of legal drinking age. With prizes like Game Day Bundles complete with a giant TV and a hefty gift card, Coors Light mini fridges, and exclusive Chill Train merchandise, it’s a coast-to-coast celebration of the Big Game spirit.

And for those not on the train’s direct path, the excitement still beckons. Canadians over 21 can enter to win the grand prize of a trip to the 2025 Big Game event. For more details and your chance to win, visit coorslight.ca/thechilltrain.

If you’re a fan of the OVO brand and also happen to be an NFL football fan, then you will definitely want to check out this new collab collection between the two. The capsule collection featuring an assortment of hoodies, hats, jackets (among others) was dropped on the OVO Instagram page today and the fits are absolute fire. The first thing you see also happens to be the legendary Joe Montana sporting the OVO fit, not a bad pick ahead of the big game next week.

Joe Montana

The legendary quarterback, Joseph Clifford Montana Jr., is an American former football quarterback who played in the National Football League (NFL) for 16 seasons. Most of those were with one half of this year’s Super Bowl contenders, the San Francisco 49ers. Nicknamed “Joe Cool” and “the Comeback Kid”, Montana is widely considered as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Essentially, goat status.

Selling out

The stock is selling out quick with a number of items already listed as sold on on OVO’s website. This marks another partnership in a long list of collabs the OVO brand has engaged in.

There are only eight teams represented in this collab so if you’re one of the lucky eight, you will want to consider getting your hands on some of these before they’re gone. The teams include New England, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Seattle, Kansas City, New Orleans, Atlanta and New York (Jets).

After yesterday’s AFC and NFC games, the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Fransisco 49ers will face off in Super Bowl LIX at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Rematch

The Chiefs, led by superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the 49ers, led by quarterback Brock Purdy, are set to face off in a rematch from the 2020 Super Bowl where Mahomes and the Chiefs took top honours. For anyone keeping score, this is the second straight year and the fourth time in five seasons the Kansas City Chiefs are heading to the Super Bowl. An incredible feat on its own.

Half-Time Show

Of course the Super Bowl half-time show is always one of the premier events of the year, almost as big as the game in some respects but don’t tell that to the die-hard football fans. Headlining this year’s performance is the legendary artist Usher, who currently has a residency in Las Vegas. Among the other performers include Tiesto and Post Malone who will be singing in pre-game festivities. Yes, Taylor Swift will also be in attendance as she cheers on Travis Kelce.

Allegiant Stadium

The backdrop to the spectacle will be none other than Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders. Las Vegas has been busy these last few months as it’s coming off a wildly successful inaugural Formula 1 (F1) race and is now working towards the very first Super Bowl in Las Vegas history. Between the stars and the thousands of fans flocking into the city, it should be a day/night to remember for all.

Witnessing the precision driving and adrenaline-pumping action in the heart of Las Vegas adds a unique dimension to the sport.

From live music performances to gourmet dining experiences, the atmosphere around the event is sure to be buzzing with excitement. Additionally, the neon-lit streets and iconic landmarks make Las Vegas the perfect backdrop for this high-speed spectacle. “You’ll get to see the great neon lights of Las Vegas as these cars travel roughly 300KM an hour”.

Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the sport or just enjoy the halftime show and commercials, the Super Bowl offers something for everyone.

      Allegiant Stadium, the home of the Las Vegas Raiders, will serve as the venue for the Super Bowl. This architectural marvel boasts cutting-edge technology, a retractable roof, and stunning aesthetics. It’s the perfect place to witness the clash of football titans.

      While the Formula 1 Grand Prix and the Super Bowl are undoubtedly the stars of the show, Las Vegas offers much more to explore.

      What’s next?

      Among the series of events includes the NFL Draft as well as the NCAA Final Four in 2028. But more closer on the horizon could be the introduction of a Major League Baseball team (MLB). “The next step for us is looking at the A’s baseball wise. There’s a site identified that will host 30,000 seats.” There’s been discussions around Oakland relocating to Las Vegas following in the footsteps of their NFL counterparts. All to say that if Las Vegas wasn’t already on your list of places to visit, you most definitely should put it up there.

      Las Vegas is synonymous with pool parties, incredible theatrical and musical performances and of course, the many gorgeous casinos. But over the last several years, investments into stadiums, facilities and more has changed the way people look at Las Vegas. With the recent introductions of the NHL & NFL, alongside the UFC and soon to come F1, Las Vegas has effectively become the premier destination for sports.

      Vegas Golden Knights

      Can a game played on ice survive in the dessert? The answer is a resounding yes. When the NHL expanded into Las Vegas with the Vegas Golden Knights franchise, many expected it to fail. Instead, the expansion team did what no other in history has done. It went on a run to the Stanley Cup Finals igniting what the city seems to have already known, Vegas is a sports hub for every type of fan.

      Las Vegas Raiders

      So it was not long afterwards that the NFL, taking notice of what the NHL accomplished, decided to move the Oakland Raiders to Las Vegas and built the incredible Allegiant Stadium.

      Gent’s Post had a chance to tour the stadium including an opportunity to step onto the gridiron and it’s an awe inspiring piece of architecture. What’s more, Allegiant Stadium will be the host site of the 2024 Super Bowl.

      Ultimate Fighting Champion

      Known for its infamous years hosting boxing matches, it’s no surprise that when the UFC comes into town, Las Vegas goes wild. Taking in the sights and sounds of UFC 285, it’s easy to see the roaring response to combat sports. The fans are loud, the celebrities out in full force and the show is primed. Even Jake Gyllenhaal made a special appearance as he filmed scenes from his new movie between matches.

      In case you haven’t heard, Las Vegas will host its first ever F1 race November 16-18 2023 and construction is well underway. Red Bull, Mercedes and many others will be zipping around the strip as the lights and sounds magnify what will be the city’s most ambitious spectacle yet.

      Ultimately, Las Vegas will always have the appeal of food, shows and nightlife, but you can now add sporting venues at the top of that list.

      Tiffany & Co. trophy

      In 1967, for the first Super Bowl, the NFL wanted to think big. To crown the champion in a way so strong, so forceful, and so important that it would properly dignify the winners for years on end. And so, a reliable, iconic, legendary company must design the trophy, the won that would be presented annually to the Super Bowl winners. Who but Tiffany & Co. fits the bill?

      About Tiffany & Co.’s design

      Featuring a regulation-sized football in a kicking position, the 22-inch Super Bowl trophy (which was renamed the Vince Lombardi Trophy in 1970, after the legendary Green Bay Packers coach) is crafted from sterling silver and weighs in at seven pounds. “It was initially designed by Oscar Riedener, a former Vice President at Tiffany & Co., who sketched the basic design on a napkin during a 1966 meeting with then-NFL® commissioner, Pete Rozelle,” according to a Tiffany & Co. press release.  

      In preparation for the yearly award, the trophy is handcrafted at the Tiffany hollowware workshop in Cumberland, Rhode Island, using artisan techniques like silversmithing, spinning, chasing, hand-engraving and polishing. The entire process takes about four months, and a total of a whopping 72 hours of labour. The brand also creates the AFC and NFC trophies, awarded to the leaders in both division every single year.

      In 1991, Tiffany’s role in the Super Bowl trophies expanded, creating the Pete Rozelle Trophy, which is given to the Super Bowl MVP every year. The result is the award clutched by winners every February, including last year’s recipients, the Los Angeles Rams. Tom Brady holds the record and has won the Super Bowl seven times.

      This year, the two teams vying for Tiffany’s Vince Lombardi Trophy are the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs. The game takes place on February 12 at 6:30 p.m., and the halftime show concert will be performed by Rihanna.
