Detective Tyler was strolling one day, when he saw an old friend of his, Michael. "Hey Tyler! Long time, no see," said Michael. "Anyways, the Super Bowl is on Sunday. I, as a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, wanted to see them defeat the New England Patriots! I was wondering if you could let me borrow the money to go see the game."
"Come up with a better lie, and maybe I'll believe you next time," said Tyler.

How did Tyler know that Michael wasn't going to use the money to see the Superbowl?

westbrook1 Sep 19, 2011	That was great! I figured it out easily, but it was still clever.
braingle100 Sep 21, 2011	Lol! You learn something new everyday!
boodler Sep 22, 2011	Nice and easy for a Brit. Like the fact that "every day" is two words, braingle100(!) Everyday means a common occurence; ordinary; unremarkable.
kingsley Sep 25, 2011	Good one. Couldn't figure it out, but I'm not a football fan.
Marple Sep 29, 2011	I didn't like this at all. How are you supposed to answer it unless you are American or know all about the sport?
HABS2933 Oct 29, 2011	I don't think this belongs in "trick" it should be in "trivia" as it does require some knowledge to be able to solve it. Not everyone watches football,
Benjiboo Nov 04, 2011	I DONT KNOW WHAT A SUPERBOWL AN AFC OR A NFC IS!
