The Morning Brew for February 8: Super Bowl and Wing Bowl Edition

Well, that Super Bowl wasn’t particularly exciting. I’d say the highlight was Peyton Manning kissing Papa John on the cheek and then saying (twice!) that he was going to get drunk on Budweiser. Budweiser, you go down so smooth.

Von Miller is crazy good. He reportedly wants to be the highest paid defensive player in the NFL. He proved last night he deserves it by becoming the Super Bowl MVP. Maybe the Eagles could… nah.

Anyway, we hope you’re recovered on what should be a national holiday, and enjoy this morning’s version of brew.

We had some amazing Wing Bowl 24 coverage for you on Friday, and you can read all of that right here. Before we brew it up, let us tell you about a few of our sponsors.
