Game day forecast calls for mid-40s with a chance of rain — downright balmy compared to the Polar Vortex that’s ensnared half the country, but those of us sitting warm on our couches can still hope for a dumping of snow…
…and a frozen fan or two, even if the Meadowlands aren’t technically the Frozen Tundra of Green Bay, Wisc.
The rest of the Manning family will be on hand to root for Broncos QB Peyton. That includes New York Giants QB Eli (whose team did not make it to the playoffs this year) and quarterback legend dad Archie Manning.
Comedian Joel McHale is a proud Seahawks fan, and he said on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” last week that he’ll be on hand to root for the team come hell or high water — or even snow.
Film mogul Harvey Weinstein is also expected at the game.
Seahawks fullback Derrick Coleman is deaf, but that hasn’t stopped him from fulfilling his dreams of playing pro football. Now he’s in the Super Bowl — and has one of the most heartwarming stories to boot.
Fresh off her Grammy appearance last Sunday, Queen Latifah will sing “America the Beautiful” before kickoff on Sunday.
Opera singer Renee Fleming will also sing before the game, in her case the National Anthem. Here she is singing for the president at the National Christmas Tree lighting ceremony in December.
Of course, you can’t miss Pepsi Halftime performer Bruno Mars.
Special guests Red Hot Chili Peppers also promise to give an amazing performance … let’s just hope they wear more than socks.
Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman made headlines at the AFC Championship Game on Jan. 19 for the feisty interview he gave after the game. See if all that talk was for show or for real on Sunday.
Though the Sea Gals and Denver Broncos Cheerleaders will probably be wearing a lot more than this on Super Bowl Sunday, they still promise to give one heck of a show.
