Super Bowl LIX - Chiefs: The Rematch

[Rome]

A few random thoughts...

Went to the office today and had no FEWER than 20 calls from colleagues congratulating me.  Not me or the Eagles specifically now that I think of it.  More like thank god you beat the Chiefs - we hate them - talk.  I'll take being a pity farg any day where this is concerned.  😆

Also - I continue to be amazed at the level of hatred being levied at Taylor Swift.  By women especially.  The hostility from women towards her is something that should also be studied in the future. 

Anyway, I was seriously thinking of flying up for the parade.  Had flights/hotel package all lined up.  Then at the last minute I realized nothing will ever top the last time.  I'm not saying I'm not out of my mind happy that they won.  I am.  But nothing will ever top LII.  I was there in the city for that game.  Still the best non-family moment of my life.  Strange how much this nonsense means to me.

Finally, I spent a lot of my life wishing I had been born in a city that had more winners.  Most cities certainly do.  But man, let me tell you, when we get to celebrate wins, they mean everything to us. Nobody loves their teams like we do. Not even close.  That's why despite all the years of anguish and suffering, ain't nobody I'd rather be than a Philly fan.

Swift fans are currently brigading CJGJ's mom's business (restaurant) with bad reviews

There's a difference between a desk dweller and a ditch digger.

I have to work. You don't.

Similar story with being a parent.  My kids gonna cover your retirement.  Yours don't exist.

Hey, something we agree on.

THIS!!

I too, up until recently joked "why was I born in Philly? WTF dad? Mom?"  It was business, papa was promoted at Campbell Soup Co. in 1959 and was sent from paradise to Lower Merion Township.  Moved back here as an infant but goddamn kept my allegiance from day 1. 

Honestly had the bums beat the Yankees in 09 or those cheating bastiches in Houston in 22, my sports universe would have been 1000% complete at 5:30 PM HST Sunday 2/09/25 when Kenny Pickett took a knee.  AI and the 2001 Sixers, 1983 Sixers sweep vs Lakers were both incredible.  Flyers whatever.

Yeah it's a shame the city doesn't have a professional hockey team. I think they'd do okay there if they had one.

Have a free place to stay in south Philly. Plan was to drive down Thursday night then leave Saturday. Now I have covid so have to miss the parade. Such is life.

So far this week on nfln I've watched:
GB/Birds playoff game
Rams/Birds playoff game
Commies/Birds nfccg
Lost count how many times I've watched the SB

Tonight they aired 52 which is still incredible

And

SB 59 mic'd up. No brady/burkhard they play Merrill and the chiefs radio guy. They show the big plays from different angles...the commentary from the players and coaches is unreal. Must watch tv

"If we score, it's over.  Just call it."

-Sirianni to Moore on Smitty's TD.


Gotta say that's some brazen shtein right there. 

[Diomedes]

So much to love about SB 59, like this piece of violent ballet by Dickerson
His second contact with the LB is nasty

The parade is simply beyond belief.

Somewhat same story here. Rented an airBNB right on broad street, was going to stay last night and then wake up today and watch it form the windows with my boy. Unfortunately we both tested positive for covid Wednesday. farging sucks.
