There is no shortage of stories around any Super Bowl, especially one with two teams full of unique characters, history and overall talent.
It’s just a question of what will happen before, during and after the big game that will grab our attention.
We’ve taken a guess as to what headlines will be adorning front pages of the remaining newspapers that cover the game and their websites.
Mahomes Clogs Up A Cannon
As the home of the Buccaneers, it makes total sense for Raymond James Stadium to have a fully functioning replica pirate ship, complete with cannons.
There’s a story about former Buccaneers QB Chris Simms (who was much less successful than his father Phil), throwing the ball into one of those cannons after scoring a touchdown.
We’ve all seen Patrick Mahomes and his ridiculous arm strength.
If he runs the ball in for a score in the right end zone he could easily fire the ball into one of those cannons and block it up.

Rob Gronkowski Gets Stuck Chasing The Ball Towards a Cannon
The tight end affectionately known as Gronk has probably never had a bad day in his life and has been likened to a human version of a golden retriever.
Whenever he sees a ball thrown in his vicinity he has to try and chase it down.
He could very easily wind up hanging from part of the pirate ship as he tries to retrieve the ball Mahomes throws into the pirate ship.

Andy Reid Gets Caught Eating A Cheeseburger on the Sideline
The head coach of the Chiefs loves his food and during their run to the title last year promised to celebrate with a cheeseburger.
He would know that the Super Bowl is a very long day compared to a normal game, so why not keep a snack on the sideline to keep the mind sharp?
If Andy Reid wins another Super Bowl… He's going DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER this time. 🍔🔥

Tom Brady Drops All Pretence and Mouths Off at Bill Belichick
For 21 years Brady has played the good soldier, toeing the company line in New England and now Tampa, trying to deflect all of the attention towards his teammates.
If he wins title number 7 on Monday, surely he’s going to grab a CBS camera and microphone, stare down the barrel and go “how do you like me now Bill?!”
All the while his coach Bruce Arians will just be in the background laughing and going something like this…
Scotty Miller Tears Hamstring During Halftime Sprint With Hill
Apparently what Scotty Miller lacks in height, he makes up for in somewhat misplaced confidence.
He said he was allegedly faster than Chiefs speedster Tyreek Hill.
Unless you’re a horse, don’t challenge the Cheetah to a race.

Brett Favre Announces Comeback
“Aaron Rodgers isn’t happy? I can help with that!”
There is no chance Favre will follow through but surely he’d love to replace the guy who replaced him in Green Bay.
Happy birthday Brett Favre! We'll be ready for your next comeback 😂 pic.twitter.com/6hjfYsTsYH

LeBron James Announces Fandom of Winning Team on Twitter
Noted bandwagon hopper LeBron is $1.01 to be spotted with a Chiefs cap if they win this game.
If it’s Tampa, just wait for the Twitter post about how he’s “always respected” Tom Brady.
What’s another NFL team to follow by this stage anyway?
Lions-49ers will have @KingJames in the crowd. Will LeBron be the latest to jump on the Lions' bandwagon? http://t.co/wOz5ihII
