Did you win your Super Bowl bets? Or was you wallet (and heart) crushed by that game-ending, goal line interception?

If you're these guys, sorry, too. But I'm sure that your joy was not diminished by the side eye directed at your outfits.
Pay your gambling taxes: Regardless of which team you root for, if any of your National Football League championship game wagers paid off, congratulations.
