Also, the cool factor that Rihanna was performing while pregnant distracted from a thoroughly mediocre, blatantly lip synched halftime.
It was a big call in a big moment.
My preference would have been to see Philly get a chance to tie or win.
But that defender put it in the officialâs hands.
Like taking a borderline pitch with 2 strikes.
I get YOU donât like it. And youâre not alone.
And stop telling me what my assumptions are for chrissakes.

Weâre in agreement there.
That field was terrible.
And in other Super Bowl newsâŚthe M&Ms are back. I guess all of that wailing and gnashing of teeth by Tucker Carlson cancelled the cancel. Or Trump made a few calls.

Theyâre too busy being mad at Rihanna for the half-time show.
They would prefer to dust off another crusty white guy whose music they can use without permission.

I didnât watch the halftime showâŚdid she show a breast?
Worse. She showed a baby bump.
Worst of all: sheâs black.

As a lifelong, disgruntled, sad and bitter Houston Oilers backer, I have a few things to say about blown calls by refs, (cough, Mike Renfro) (cough, don fucking beebe).
Always happy to see the Filthadelphia pigeons lose.
Chiefs fans: doing the tomahawk chop
Eagles fans: flipping cars before the Super Bowl
Which one to root for:

Thatâs fantastic.
A penalty is a penalty whether it occurs in the first quarter or the final two minutes of a game. If you want scripted endings for maximum drama, thereâs always stuff like the WWE.
If the Eagles wanted a shot to get the ball back with time left in regulation, Bradberry should have not tugged Smith-Schusterâs jersey twice. Also, Greg Olsen is a giant hypocrite. If he was in Smith-Schusterâs position with two minutes left in a tie game, he would be livid if that penalty wasnât called for him and his team. Especially in the Super Bowl.
Fox showed a montage of watch parties around the world, including Chiefsâ fans in Germany doing the tomahawk chop. Iâm not sure that a bunch of Germans doing a racially-insensitive salute with their right arms was the best choiceâŚ

Donât mention the war!
The way Chiefs fans heckle the National Anthem bothers me more than the chop.

My sister met my future brother-in-law while living in Germany. She moved back to the US after a while but they stayed together, so they arranged for him to come to the states and meet us. As fate would have it, my grandmother died about an hour before my sister had to drive from Austin to IAH to pick him up.
So here is this native German, who spoke a non-zero but less than fluent amount of English, visiting the US for the first time, meeting his would-be in-laws for the first time, walking into a maelstrom of emotion. To try to lighten the mood, my dad sat him down in front of the TV and showed him the Fawlty Towers âDonât mention the warâ episode on VHS. For my dad wanting to find any common ground, it seemed like such a good idea at the time.
