Philly sports, AEW, and great cinema. Also, sarcasm. Jawning in moderation.
Wonder how many complainers who said they "couldn't understand" last night's halftime show jammed out to Rammstein in high school, without understanding German.

Reminder that this year is not the first time a reactionary, racist right wing group put on their own halftime show. In 1999, the Super Bowl halftime show was a celebration of soul, salsa and swing with Stevie Wonder and Gloria Estefan. The World Wrestling Federation counted with Halftime Heat.

I feel for Jets fans. They finally get a QB that can beat the Pats on a major stage … but he does it for the Panthers.

Since NBC regained NFL broadcast rights in 2006, all of their Super Bowls had lead changes in the final 3 minutes (43, 46, 49, 52, 56). Streak ends at five.

By the way... At least two existing wrestling fans, the battle lines of WWE as MAGA and AEW not being MAGA were drawn in 2019. MAGA fans already see AEW as the woke pussy promotion. There is zero harm in leaning in the way AEW has slowly since the Mexico City show last year.

Kyle Fletcher is the only person I know who tucks his coattails into his back pockets. Is this a measure taken to prevent pickpocketing?

If the crowd's gonna chant Psy-cho Kill-er, they have to underscore it with "qu'est-ce que c'est" in between.

"New York's hottest new club is the Parking Lot Brawl. Thrown together by Brody King's proud boss, it's got a bookbag with a brick. An Ortiz-throwing contest. Two young Brits who claim to be grizzled. Stoners in camouflage. A conspiculously-rocking limo. A few hammers. Eddie Kingston."

Aside from Harry Kalas and a few years of Earl Mann, we never found a serviceable replacement for John Facenda. Not surprising, but also disheartening.

It’s not just that the “Fuck ICE” chants happened. It’s that everyone involved - the performers, the commentators, production - seemed to make a collective decision in the moment to let it breathe and be the story of the moment. That was cool as hell.

Company A: many fans “sportswashed” to the point of viewing recent women’s match in Riyadh as “fun cosplay pageant” instead of demeaning example of oppressive double standard. Company B: crowd chants “Fuck ICE” during main event. Could the difference be any more stark?

One day, they're gonna sit Gabe Kidd down and tell him wrestling is all a work. And he's going to react the same way Groundskeeper Willie did when he learned there was no such thing as Scotchtoberfest.

February 4, 2018 Phinally! The Eagles capture their first Lombardi Trophy, defeating the Patriots 41-33 in Super Bowl LII. MVP Nick Foles catches the "Philly Special" on a fourth-down goal line play before the half. Brandon Graham sacks Tom Brady, forcing a key fumble in the waning minutes.

“Her gear suited her perfectly.” When you turn an oppressive kingdom’s gender double standards into a cosplay pageant, you help normalize said double standards. Of course, that’s probably the idea.

I actually found the article from FSM Magazine (which eventually ended up with the editor losing his job), where they "defied order" by printing the memo from WWE to "not take any screenshots of Triple H losing or in a defenceless or vulnerable position." So they did anyway!
