Grabs my soul, shakes my body like a super bowl (2024 edition)...

 Super Bowl LVIX (59 in non-Roman numerals) is this Sunday.  The Philadelphia Eagles vs the Kansas City Chiefs.  Didn't we just DO this?  Yeah, yeah, we did, two years ago.   So we might as well use my stats from the game, those that haven't changed as well as those few who may have.

1. The Cities

So we've got a large tight end with a much too bushy beard.  And we got a running back with freakishly HUGE thighs and bubble butt. 

Winner: Saquan Barkeley and the Eagles!
