With the Super Bowl just two days away, it’s time to look at what everyone is most concerned about: What are the most popular Super Bowl prop bets? Prop bets are those odd little bets you can make, like “What color drink will be poured over the winning coach?” or “Do you wish the Super Bowl was over so we can all move on to more important things, like baseball?”

OK, that last one wasn’t really a bet, more of a plea from some folks.

Anyway, here are the most popular Super Bowl prop bets as of Thursday morning, as provided by BetOnline.

I’ll take potent potables for $200, Alex

Speaking of the Super Bowl, if you are in the Boston area (and our condolences to you if you are) and are thirsty, there’s a new beer you can try.

Brewing company Sam Adams has released a beer in honor of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

The beer is called Too Old, Too Slow, Still Here, which is also a saying the Patriots have been using to motivate the team during the playoffs.

The label features a goat holding a football.

Sadly, the beer comes out very flat, because to truly honor Brady, the pressure from the CO2 is seriously underinflated. It’s possible I made up that last part up.

Former USC football coach Lane Kiffin is now the coach of Florida Atlantic, and after a disappointing 5-7 finish the first season, he won’t let a little thing like a baby get in his way of recruiting players.

On Wednesday, the football coach of Lake Weir High in Florida sent out a photo on Twitter of Kiffin visiting one of his players at a hospital maternity ward.

The tweet says, “Love him or hate him @Lane_Kiffin came to the maternity ward to see one of his recruits who just had a baby and talked to him about real life stuff. Not football. Coach Kiffin is a genuine guy and we appreciated having him around today!”

Wait, you don’t think Kiffin was there to recruit the baby, do you?
