San Francisco 49ers fans do not have a lot to look forward to in the Super Bowl. If the New England Patriots win, that means they will gain a bigger lead on the Niners for most Super Bowl titles in franchise history.
And if the Seattle Seahawks win... well, let's try not to think about that.
Either way, it's a less than ideal Super Bowl for fans of the red and gold, which is a shame since it'll be taking place at San Francisco's home stadium in Santa Clara.
However, fans can at least look forward to an Uber Eats advertisement that is already being teased involving actor Matthew McConaughey and Niners mascot, Sourdough Sam.
The teaser for the trailer can be watched here.
The setup is that Sam is being interrogated by McConaughey, who is still trying to prove that football is just a ploy to sell food.
"Sourdough Sam. A gold-miner mascot who just so happens to be named after... food," McConaughey says while pointing some sourdough bread at the mute mascot.
It is pretty funny and ends with a cliffhanger tagline, "Hungry for the truth?" I suppose we will get the truth during the Super Bowl on Feb. 8 when all of the big commercials will be airing for the first time.
It seems like every year the Super Bowl commercials get more and more elaborate and the build-up gets longer and longer.
McConaughey has been on a multi-year crusade in these commercials sharing his conpsiracy theories that football is only means to sell food. He had a commercial a few years back with Christian McCaffrey and Jerry Rice in which he accused both of being in on the conspiracy.
Selling food may not be the sole reason that football exists, but the ad campaign does make you think.
Heck, I'm getting a little hungry just typing this, so clearly it is working.
Just don't let McConaughey catch wind of the theories going around about the electrical substation in Santa Clara. Otherwise, he might really go full crackpot.
The ad may not be quite as exciting as the 49ers actually playing in the game, but at least Niners fans will have something to look forward to to help them stomach an otherwise unappetizing Big Game.
