Good morning. If you were wondering why your American colleague, or the guy on your team who watches American sports on his second screen most days, called in sick today, it's because it's Super Bowl day.
What to watch out for:
The Kansas City Chiefs are looking to win 3 in a row against the Philadelphia Eagles, who they beat last year.
Taylor Swift will likely get just as much airtime as her Kansas City Chief boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
Donald Trump may be the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl.
Kendrick Lamar has the half-time show responsibility.
And purple Gatorade is a favourite at the bookies to be the colour of Gatorade to shower the winning coach.
Enjoy the show!
