About this episode

The episode explores whether the Super Bowl is a fair contest or a scripted spectacle.

In this episode of The Unofficial Official Story, hosts Cat Alvarado, Dwayne Perkins, and Koji Steven Sakai are joined by comedian and actor Chris Bowers to tackle the biggest sporting event of the year: The Super Bowl. Is the "Big Game" actually a fair contest, or is it just high-budget theater scripted by "Big League" for maximum ratings? The team dives into the most enduring gridiron conspiracies, from the infamous "Blackout Bowl" (Super Bowl XLVII) to the theory that referees are just actors with whistles. They discuss whether dynasties are built or bought, if the halftime shows are filled with secret symbols, and finally determine the official unofficial story behind who really controls the scoreboard.
