But that Travis Kelce guy who plays for KC Chiefs and his singer girlfriend Taylor Ham Swift said shots are safe and effective. Perhaps they can do Halftime Show together at Super Bowl sponsored by Pfizer and have special surprise guest of Tom Selleck hawking his disingenuous Reverse Mortgage line of predatory loan crap. Package it altogether with a Blue Angels flyover message “World War Three Is Patriotic and Godly”.

Mr. Pfizer. And Mr/s Bud Light. He/She/It is a walking billboard for woke. In the old NFL he'd/she'd/it'd have his/her/its career ended prematurely.

Bread and Circuses. Pfizer's just another big money sponsor and the NFL and its players understand their larger cultural responsibility. I still can't wrap my head around the 'Taylor Swift' thing.

Kelce is just another greedy sellout and TS is using him for publicity. He’s a fool.

"Cultural responsibility"? To promote a billion dollar sport as a worthier goal for youth than a genuine education? I call BS on that.

I should have added /S after "cultural responsibility".

Kelce appears to be the living embodiment of Dunning Kruger effect. Too dumb to realize how dumb he is! It would be laughable if it weren't so dangerous.

Travis is a loser. It is bad enough he shilled for bud light but he crossed the line taking money from big pharma. Screw him.

I actually do. They are a bad deal. My parents lost their house due to foreclosure. Hope you read all the fine print. They will screw you in a heartbeat especially if housing prices come crashing down. The Asbury Park Press who is owned by USA Today/Gannett interviewed me as a feature article highlighting the inherent dangers in these loans. Tom Selleck is an asshole selling them.

Agree and was super disappointed in Selleck for hawking that crap.

And btw, using gannet as a point of reference isa little silly,being that they started sucking worse than anyone,earlier than anyone. They’ve sucked since the fifties.

The Asbury Park Press was still operating independently at the time and the article was written by local reporters. Gannet had bought them but they were not fully integrated at the time. They actually held back part of the story as it was much worse than published (it was bad enough). As I said, over time and if housing prices drop significantly, they will use any means possible to screw you. Trust me. It was a sad story. Be careful.

Actually since the feds got wind of the predatory practices, they’ve had to comply with all forms of safeguards. In the beginning, this was true. Now you are required to take classes yourself before getting one. We got lucky. No one of any consequence to leave our home to, and for at least the first ten years of this loan, we aren’t touching equity. So if we live long enough, we might see the first payment that is lowering equity. So yeah, did a ton of research, and if I kick before my bride,she will be able to stay as long as she wants. That was the point. And we can pay it off if we want which is a thought, and that will cost us a few bucks, but so what. At this point in life, aren’t we supposed to be enjoying retirement?
