there have been some phenomenal Stars teams in recent years, and over the past 30+ years. Incredible that this banged up squad is the first to reach nine consecutive wins. The playoffs are gonna be a lot of fun.

i can't believe we live in a world where i can't go to Fry Street and get a slice from Crooked Crust, man. the end of the universe is near

let’s gauge how much we should care about the lives being lost because of corrupt governments

I don’t have an issue with people holding others accountable for staying silent during any injustice, with the small caveat that if you didn’t speak up during a live-streamed genocide, you don’t have a whole lot of ground to stand on IMO 🤷🏽‍♂️

as if it wasn’t bad enough that it looks cool, it also has a badass name. All for naught

As the biggest fruit fanatic on this planet, I concur. Such an underwhelming experience.

I think we should adopt a policy worldwide that any runner-up in a championship tilt should receive a stuffed animal moments after losing. Absolutely incredible!

in the hastiness of life, nothing brings it all to a halt quite like having to attend a funeral service for a childhood friend. wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy

content matter aside, Tucker Carlson put forth an absolute interviewing clinic in his sitdown with Mike Huckabee. Should be shown in journalism classes everywhere.

the fact that nhl team accounts can't post video of their players' highlights from the olympics has got to be one of the dumbest botched marketing jobs in sports history

no matter how much money you make, what your stature is in society or how good you are at your job, if you actively support the genocide of any people, I would cordially invite you to go fuck yourself ❤️

One of the more lowkey toxic things we are taught from a young age is "Just be yourself!" It's a message rooted in positive intention, but fairly misguided. Be yourself, with the good parts of yourself. For the other parts, strive to be better! Don't settle. Change yourself for the better.

it's always been so amusing to me when people just assume or guess my political leanings based largely off my ethnicity. But it's even funnier now because they're assuming it based off of where I placed Bad Bunny in halftime show rankings 😂 online stupidity knows no bounds

Bad Bunny's halftime show at Super Bowl LX rose to the occasion.

So, where exactly does his performance rank among the greats?

@saadyousuf126.bsky.social has it in the top 10, narrowly above Kendrick Lamar's show last year 👀

in another era of our country — the one where we had full units multiple years in grade school called "The Melting Pot" — this sort of halftime performance would be widely recognized as an example of the American dream.

Popes, presidents and more random Super Bowl facts ahead of Patriots-Seahawks What does Pope Leo XIV have to do with the Seahawks being in the Super Bowl? How can Drake Maye join presidential company?

45-yard field goal in snow landing Mike Vrabel in Super Bowl in 2002 & 2026.

Josh McCown mentoring Sam Darnold and Drake Maye.

First Super Bowl ever where both teams started season 0-1.

Pope Magic for Seahawks.

All sort of random Super Bowl tidbits 👇🏽

thank you, sir! I agree. Though I will confess, from a pure entertainment value, that Coldplay/Bruno/Beyonce is probably my favorite. The final part of that one where he pays tribute to the past performers was so well done.

Might be the best-written of these I’ve ever seen (and not just because he nails the top 2 and - in some order - the top 8. Just gets why things do/ don’t work, and clear on his leanings.

And look, just the thought of the 9-11 names and Bono’s understated flag moment has me tearing up.

Like the Seahawks & Patriots, I’ve been busy watching film this week… aka rewatching every Super Bowl halftime show since 1991.

I have put together a ranking of all 35 of them, with a carefully curated methodology. Lot of fun. Feedback is welcomed 👇🏽

he was elected president twice after saying this, you think some racist image/video is gonna faze him or his supporters?

The football gods listened to our cries and ensured us a Chiefs-less Super Bowl.

But now, you're stuck watching the Patriots again.

If you're into hate watching the big game, @saadyousuf126.bsky.social's got your guide ⤵️

Remember, we need to treat humans like humans, as long as they share a similar ancestry to you and have the same passport. Only then are all human beings, human beings.

Bill Polian may be the one on the front lines getting it for the Belichick snub but you'll never convince me that Robert Kraft isn't the orchestrator behind this, or at the very least has a significant role.

Asked about Minneapolis, Victor Wembanyama says, “PR has tried, but I’m not going to sit here and be politically correct.”

Then says “it’s crazy that people make it seem like … the murder of civilians is acceptable.”

All regular season long, I did a weekly column in which one section was the "Road to Santa Clara." That was my top-five teams I believed were in position to win the Super Bowl.

Here was my Week 18 edition 👀

Jaxon Smith-Njigba doesn't have elite unique stature. He doesn't have an elite quarterback. He doesn't have the typical diva personality that comes with top-tier wide receivers. Doesn't make headlines off the field for the wrong reasons.

All he does is ball out.

one of the most doomed feeling playoff games of the Brady-Belichick era. Butts kicked by New Orleans around Thanksgiving, lost Wes Welker to a torn ACL in meaningless Week 17 and then the big Ray Rice run to start that playoff game. Maybe the most "end of patriots era" talk other than KC MNF 2014

Be safe out there

and then government officials in their suits go to the podium and tell bold-faced lies about the events, even though there is clear contradictory evidence widely circulating on social media?

interesting…

welcome to the outrage

so, you’re saying there is a big government entity that is murdering innocent people in cold blood and justifying it by saying that they have the right to defend themselves? And you don’t like it? interesting…
