For the people of Southeast Ohio, where poverty lives among them, the wait to watch their Joey Burrow in Super Bowl 2022 felt interminable.
“I talked to so many fans today that were like, ‘Man, I’m gonna have to find some nerve pills,’ or I’m gonna double down on my blood pressure medicine tomorrow,” a man named Travis Brand was saying on Saturday evening. Brand has been the owner of Gigi’s Country in Plains, Ohio, since Nov. 1, 2011, where the customers have been arriving in No. 9 jerseys and chanting Who Dey or ordering the $7.99 Burrow omelet.
So no matter what happened on Super Sunday Night, as much pleading as they were doing to the football gods, their Joey Burrow was a champion whether or not he lifted the Bengals to their first championship over the Rams. Gigi’s opened at 8 a.m. on Super Sunday and closed at 2 p.m., same as always, and then Brand watched the Burrow Bowl from his home.
