Didn't watch the Superbowl. What are some key takeaways / oneliners I can drop into conversation to not be socially excluded at work tomorrow?

Eagles pulled one of the all time great trick plays: QB walked off to pretend to talk to a lineman, then the center direct snapped to the RB, handed it off to a receiver, who threw it to the QB for a TD.

Damn you K1 - I used your Redskins line (also because I can pivot to the social/cultural controversy over their name which is a topic I can speak to) and got blank looks

Good game from start to finish! Didn’t know who would win until the last minute! Tons of meme worthy moments from the game / half-time show. Justin Timberlake danced through most of his performance... barely sang for a minute. Most popular meme (see above) came from when Justin went into the stands for his last song and the kid took a selfie with him and then clearly didn’t know what to do.

Personally, I loved the Doritos / Mountain Dew Ice Commercial (look it up for 30 sec speaking point).
