That Andy Reid shove was not a good look.

I am in KC and lots of rage on my feed about that. Harrison Butker should have been on that platform where they presented the trophy, not that Neanderthal Kelce.

I’ve lived in KC for 14 years now but prior to that lived in WI my entire life. The Chiefs success has gone to their heads and they’ve become an obnoxious team that is difficult to like despite the Hunt family’s classiness, the legacy of Andy Reid and the talent of Mahomes. Travis Kelce is a jerk and the obsession with TS is an indication of how low our society has sunk. I wonder what drugs Kelce takes that could explain his violent outbursts that have been witnessed on camera and especially his abusive, inappropriate behavior towards Andy Reid. Why he wasn’t thrown out of the game immediately is a mystery to me. Poor sportsmanship, immaturity, lack of consequences for his actions all result in the embarrassing conduct of this idiot. And why people who did respect the Chiefs and their success are falling away from cheering for this team.

Well I have been in the KC area my whole life, and lots of bandwagon fans for sure. We had season tix in the 90's and 00's when FB was still just a game and politics was kept off the field for the most part. Got too expensive and too woke and haven't been to Arrowhead since take a knee. So, it's kind of funny, back when I cared, most people laughed at me. Now, I really don't care, and this whole town is obsessed with this team. Bread and circuses. Although I did watch last night, and it was an exciting game at the end. Really thought KC was off, momentum definitely going SF's way, but Mahomes is at his best when the chips are down.

Well, a late friend, who sadly died of turbo cancer in 2022 was an avid NFL better/fantasy player. He was good at it and made some serious dough on it for years. Had a living room with multiple big screen tv's so he could monitor all the games. But around 2018/19 or so he started dialing back, claiming it was fixed. He would go off on fairly long and detailed rants on this that kind of went over my head. Gambling is not me or my hubby's thing so some of the details were lost on me. My hubby said it was an excuse because he had a losing year??

And I did not watch the game super closely, I was multi-tasking, lol, but there were not a lot of questionable calls that I could tell. And from a practical standpoint, if it was truly fixed, in today's super connected internet age, you would think there would be a stray whistleblower here and there. But the NFL and sports betting are becoming behemoth industries, so it would not surprise me in the least if he was at least partly right.

Yeppir - and the fact they held this "Super" Bowl in a town known for BETTING AND 'FIXED' WAGERS....yeppir!! It's ALL about the "big bucks" now!! I stopped watching NFL games when they started "bending the knee"!! BOGUS, BOGUS, BOGUS!

Oh me too, my interest severely waned since take a knee. And the ghost of Pendergast is still alive and well. But I am still somewhat of a herd animal, the Chiefs in the super bowl is pretty much all anyone in this town has talked about for 2 weeks so I did watch the big game. Despite the politics, it is still something that somewhat brings us together. I actually miss pre-woke football.

Oh it's definitely not the same as before. My level of 'caring' about the outcome of the game was probably a 5, where it used to be a 10. I gave away all my Chiefs gear during take a knee but kept my late dad's 'lucky' Chiefs sweatshirt. He's been gone 10 years and it's not in the best shape any more. But he was a huge football fan so it's a little bit of nostalgia there.

As I recall, degenerative condition attributed in part to steroid use. ...Off track. You just sparked memory of that sad case.

Do you mean Aaron Hernandez? I actually read the book that came out on his story, am a fan of James Patterson, and picked it up since he was the co-author. Another chink in the NFL armor, as his years of bad behavior getting a pass was not unique with him. Too many of these players rise up from nothing, have no idea how to handle the fame and $ and never really leave behind the world they came from. Hernandez had it all, and chose the thug life, and the Patriots did him no favors looking the other way until it was too late for Odin Lloyd, his victim.

Its origins are a corrpution of you'uns. Appalachia is said by many students of American regional culture and lingo to "originate" in Pittsburgh, and run south from there. Hence the "Paris" moniker: Pittsburgh was at one time the prime urban economic engine of an otherwise-poor region. We relocated to the N E GA mountains decades ago, and note the similarities in geography, weather, and large number of Scots-Irish families around here.

There's no doubt that Taylor Swift is talented and she has legions of devoted fans. However, the "Taylor Swift" phenomenon is unprecedented.

I don't ever recall a time when such a broad array of institutions aligned to promote a single artist in the way that Taylor Swift has been promoted. It seemingly came out of nowhere in 2022 when seemingly every publication started running Taylor Swift updates. It's definitely social and probably political for all the reasons people primarily on the right both suspect and definitely fear. Legions of 'Swifties' casting ballots and spending their money to promote affiliated causes.

I lived through the rise of Springsteen, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, and, more recently Beyonce and the latest artistes du jour. In every case the music came first. Michael Jackon's Billie Jean video blew people away and changed the trajectory of entertainment. The same holds true for all of the rest. They all had their shelf-life and none had the ability or the combined media power behind them to generate social outcomes. If only John and Yoko had Google, the NFL, and the letter agencies behind them during their "Bed-in for Peace".

You're completely right, of course.

I've mentioned this a few times but I often refer back to David McGowan's book, Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon, wherein McGowan presents the case that the Laurel Canyon music scene of the late 60s was in reality a psy-op. McGowan also talks about how Miles Copeland and Stewart Copeland had familial ties to the CIA (Dad was a founder) and suggests similar influences in the New Wave scene of the late 70s.

There's no doubt that these 'artists' are owned and that there is a price that goes along with being rich and famous.

I never heard of that book but will look it up.

I saw a few videos saying Jim Morrison's father was an admiral in the military complex. It is reported that Jim was never interested in music and he probably did drugs to escape reality.

Check this 1 min video of him saying we were all slaves at a live concert in Miami 1969.

"They" are all related and aparently the presidents are too. I didn't research it and wouldn't argue it as fact, but I think it's probably true.
