I don't care if it's true, I'm just going to accept it as true. I love it.

Why would you dislike a team more than the chiefs?

Eagles' fans. Also, Philadelphia. And did I mention the fans?

The Chiefs are in the AFC West, who cares? That's like hating Estonia.

I don't hate the Chiefs at all. I'm tired of them, but I respect them.

I also don't hate the Eagles. I think their fans suck, generally speaking, but I don't hate the organization. However, I get why Catt hates them as they're a division rival.

Is there an NFL team I hate? I don't think so.

In other news, the HOF class was announced and Eli wasn't in it. I know he has two rings, and killed the undefeated Patriots, but are we sure it was a HOF career?

Eli Manning has:
- 0 MVPs
- 0 All-Pros
- Only 4 Pro Bowls in 16 years
- .500 career record
- Never lead the league in any stat but INTs
- Lower career passer rating than DANIEL JONES

First series and a controversial penalty that ends the Eagles' drive. The NFL really needs the refs to not be involved in the outcome of this game.

Also, Bill Belichick and his GF are in a commercial in the first commercial break.

Next two calls against the Chiefs.

The blue field of the flag should have had a few white guys scattered in for comedy reasons.

Man, I should bet more. At any rate, blah blah blah game.

We had a Central Michigan ad for our local market and if I was picking schools, I would consider Phoenix online before CMU.

So was that a good halftime show? Was it a good fit for the audience?

I know who the guy was, but only knew his one song from the Black Panther movie. But I was watching this, and thinking the vibe was kind of angry and mean spirited. I didn't know if I was just being racist, or what. I did notice there was not a single white face in the performance - welcome to the post DiversityEI world, I suppose.

But this morning all the media is talking about how brilliant it was, so I'm going to assume my vibe check was right... it was probably mean spirited.

Anyway, do you think peeps were wishing the Rolling Stones would just come back again, next year? Or have I just lived beyond the ability to check the pulse and vibe of what the Superb Owl demographic likes?

Daaammmn. My wife's grandfather was a professor there. My wife's dad got his masters, or undergrad there, unsure which, maybe both.

I did not love or hate the halftime show. I am not really familiar with Kendrick Lamar, but I know he murdered Drake in a public beef. I know SZA, but can't say I'm a huge fan of her songs. My kids love her though, so that's cool and the point.

The halftime show isn't for football fans. It's for the casuals and younger demos.

That being said, I didn't feel any of the songs were particularly catchy, except "Not Like Us", which is insanely catchy. However, it being a diss track against Drake, I'd say the overall performance was definitely mean spirited. Of course, if what Lamar says is true, fuck Drake.

The commercials were that bad. Also, fuck them for helping Connor Stalions.

But really, I have nothing against CMU.

I admit that I liked the Seal ad. Random person's top 10 ads:

I like his song DNA:

squabble up is all over the internet:

Did not like. Was the divorce that bad?

My oldest explained the whole Drake-Kendrick thing last year. So I was familiar. And I knew who Mustard was, so I got to yell out MUSTARD and everyone at the party was like "what?"

There's a "sameness" to those songs I don't like.

They sound like if I asked AI to create a rap artist. I do love "Not Like Us" though.

Who is MUSTARD?

His DJ/friend.

Listen to DNA from the beginning helps, rather than the Spotfiy snippet.

I will give it a listen.

This is why I love the internet.

This went up in Pittsburgh over the weekend. Guy's wasting his money.

Assuming Kevin lives in PA, just pick the other PA team.

I didn't know which was the better response:

1. Loser mentality. This isn't the SEC.
2. So, you're a Duke fan too?
