| WHAT'S BREWING TODAY Wednesday, February 16 On Today's Scorecard Play It Again, Sam |
| Each day this week we share other eye-opening numbers and stats from Super Bowl LVI... • Prior to Super Bowl LVI, the previous 18 Super Bowls all featured either Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger or the 49ers. That streak in officially over. • Jalen Ramsey allowed 160 receiving yards in the game, the most he's allowed in a single game in his career. • ESPN Stats & Info reports that with their loss Sunday to the Rams, the Bengals fall to 0-3 in the Super Bowl. The only teams with worse records are the Bills and Vikings, both 0-4. The Bengals' losses have come by an average of 4 points, with 2 coming on go-ahead touchdowns in the last 90 seconds. • Some say it was the blackest halftime show ever. Others say it was the best halftime show ever. All I know for sure is that it lived up to its billing. Especially those '63 Impalas! • From the second the "Sopranos" theme song and opening sequence started, social media held their breath. Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who played Meadow Soprano on the iconic HBO series, rolls through lower Manhattan and New Jersey in an ad for an electric Silverado. Her arrival at the same restaurant where her on-screen dad is believed to have died sets the show's ambiguous ending into question — especially since the ad was run by "Sopranos" mastermind David Chase. The show's fanatics tweeted themselves into a tizzy when Sigler hugs her on-screen brother, Robert Iler — could it possibly be confirmation of the show's famously ambiguous ending? It was, as the New York Post called it, a great commercial. |

No. 8 Providence took its highest ranking since 2016 into last night's Big East clash against No. 10 Villanova, while No. 22 Wyoming is ranked for the first time since 2015, and just the second time since 1988. |
