Thanks for doing that. What song did you stream? Was it your favorite song? My favorite song is “L.A.” It’s a driving song about the distractions surrounding the Super Bowl that starts out clean and crisp with a desire to focus on the game, only to devolve into a sloppy ending, as the show gets sloppy before the game, and then finishes triumphantly as “showtime” approaches.

This is why I love The Big Game so much. The show set out to do something BIG. They could have written a poorly produced musical with lots of jokes and we probably would have still loved it. Instead they wrote an impeccably produced musical that not only captures what we love about the show, but also what we love about sports. 

How many of us have gone to a Super Bowl party and told ourselves that we’d control ourselves and not eat or drink too much? Then when we get there we immediately get sucked into all the distractions that surround the Super Bowl, and then finally have our focus shift back to the game when it’s, “showtime”? 

That’s why a few months back I decided to stream “L.A.” so much that it would become the number 1 song on Spotify. And that’s exactly what happened. 

So our first contest that we’ll be having around streaming The Big Game is to try to make your favorite song become number 1. This week tweet out the following:
