The GGSB is the playing of a football video game between the two Super Bowl teams shortly before the actual Super Bowl. In GGSBs XXXIII through XLVII, and starting again in LV, Crazy Packers Fan takes control of both teams during the game, playing as offense for both of them. The GGSB is traditionally played on the day before the actual Super Bowl, though sometimes played the weekend before the Super Bowl.
The GGSB was formerly known for being a poor predictor of the actual Super Bowl result, as in the first five GGSBs, the GGSB winner lost the actual Super Bowl. However, the GGSB winner has won fourteen of the last eighteen actual Super Bowls. GGSB winners are 15-10 in the actual Super Bowl.
Since MVPs began being named in GGSB XXXVIII, only four have gone on to win the actual Super Bowl MVP - Drew Brees in XLIV, Malcolm Smith in XLVIII, Patrick Mahomes in LIV, and Tom Brady in LV. Rob Gronkowski is the only player to win multiple GGSB MVPs.
The first GGSB was between two non-NFL teams as Crazy Packers Fan played for only one team, dubbed the Yogi Yahooeys, which played against the computer team on High School mode, dubbed the Scooby Doobies. GGSB LIV ended in a 104-0 blowout, and as a result of the lack of balance in competition, its records have been stricken from the GGSB record book.
From GGSB XLVIII to LIV, the GGSB was played between Crazy Packers Fan and his brother-in-law Punkgoose17. Crazy Packers Fan took control of the AFC champions and Punkgoose17 took control of the NFC champions.
