This was definitely not the game many were expecting on and off the field. For others like myself it was a reprieve from Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift monopolizing the airwaves - in what some see as arrogance on the part of Kelce especially after Trump called him "the absolute best tight end in football."
Most people know Trump is not a fan of Taylor Swift after she spoke out against him in last year's election. The world is an emotional tinderbox waiting to explode at any second for any reason.
Why Taylor Swift Getting Booed at the Super Bowl was Even More Chilling Than You Think
Trump was not happy for so many reasons especially since as he backed the losing team and we know his ego can't handle that. He can't control everything as he is trying to do globally and often nonsensically. Eventually all dictators or would-be dictators have their comeuppance.
I have been asked about the half time show - I don't think rappers venting is the right venue for a Super Bowl. The backstory of Kendrick Lamar and Drake's feud should not have been part of this. Many viewers didn't understand any of the lyrics. I know the world is trying to be woke, but this takes it to overreach with not one white person on the stage and too much venting on different issues.
The energies of Super Bowl LIX were with Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles right from the start - and stayed that way until the final seconds. Led by a stifling defense that forced Patrick Mahomes and the KC Chiefs into three turnovers, the Eagles captured their second Super Bowl title in franchise history with a stunning 40-22 victory. The resounding victory avenges a gutting, last-second Super Bowl loss two years ago to the Chiefs and returns the Eagles too the city of Brotherly Love at the top of the football world.
Congratulations to Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles as on we go with the rest of our lives - the aftermath of the game - and everything in between.
