The first half was clearly a supreme ass whipping. The second half was more of the same. Even though KC scored a couple of TD's, they more of less were given to them by a team that wanted to eat up the clock.
It was clearly a slaughter and the Eagles out coached and out played the Chiefs.

The classic example of "garbage points".

I recorded the game and then watched it until it was 40-6 late in the game. It was over at that point and ended on a great note with that score. If the Chiefs had won I would have just deleted the recording without watching it.

Enough people still like the game to keep it around for a while, football that is. Viewers peaked at 137.6 million. Avg. viewers was 127 million. Does this mean big brother is watching everything we do? Asking for a friend.

I'm not a rap fan, but Kendrick is undoubtedly one of the most talented lyricists and impactful musicians of our generation. And I enjoyed looking at the shell of a GNX.

Dude I have enjoyed and agree with a lot of your musical perspectives on this here blog. But I can’t see what you see in Lamar. Would you mind referencing something specific?

Philly provided plenty of mayhem. Half way through the game I was more focused on the food. 7 layer taco dip, cream cheese-cocktail sauce-Dungeness crab dip and prosciutto wrapped, cream cheese filled, grilled jalapenos. Great SB food.

So first off, thanks. I'm definitely a music nerd of sorts.

Second, I'm not a fan of Kendrick. I just can't get into rap as a musical style. Only time I really listen to it is when I'm tuning a new stereo system in a truck. (To me a stereo system is speakers for all 4 corners and a sub, all ran off amps. Rap is useful!)

He appeared on my radar when he became the first person outside jazz or classical to win a Pulitzer Prize.

I've got a friend who's also a music nerd that is into him, so I used him as my gateway. He's done several concept albums, talks about a lot of history, and tells stories. And does it with a beat AND complicated rhymes.

He's a rapper. But he's also a 21st century urban folk singer.

It's an "I don't care for the art, but I respect the artist" situation. I don't like Picasso, but he sure changed the art world.

Dude has a Pulitzer Prize...

I'm not a rap fan, but I'll acknowledge talent, even if I don't personally care for what it produces.

He's got a album in the Harvard library. More than I can say for the people I listen to.
I have never heard of him. I'm sure his lyrics are up there with the works of Shakespear, Aristotle and the great and talented Cardi B.

I went and listened to the first verse of his big hit "Not Like Us." It's 99% garbage and 1 sophomoric double entendre.

If James McMurtry doesn't have a Pulitzer Prize I don't think they're notable.

Philly winning, ok. Now, on to next year. What will Detroit do loosing both big coordinators. Sam Darnold, will he degrees or get better? Will Tua make it through a season? What new coach will have the best year? More?

Tua, no, we've all seen enough to know what you got.
The real Darnold and Goff showed up in the playoffs.
Detroit will find out what they've really got in Campbell as the head coach.
Redskins and Packers are the interesting young teams to me.
Lots of QB, and coach movement so a good team with a rookie QB or coach could come from anywhere.

Since you're actually willing to think about it, I'll call that a fair point. Especially since you used James McMurtry as your comparison.

My wife and I were talking about it last night. I was a teenager in Shreveport in the mid/late 90s... I feel like being surrounded by rap, and the poverty and culture that it came from gives me a soft spot for it.

I still don't like or appreciate it, but I don't completely write it off either.
