Sunday’s event—a football game, among many other things—will see the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos kick off at 6:30 p.m. at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. Subplots and backstory for the game include Seahawks cornerback Sherman, whose on-field antics during the NFC Championship game earned him an $8,000 fine and whose postgame rant during an interview provided finger-wagging fodder for critics, talking heads, sportscasters and everyone else with a Twitter account.

Meteorologists are calling for a few inches of snow before the game, and video game John Madden Football 25 is calling for a close contest and overtime finish (see video clip).
