We’re desperate to tell you how important we are, how vital our century-old institutions, and our brightest lights are our pop stars, our dancers and our immigrants. Football is not my thing, but the Super Bowl can reliably tell us who we are as a country, and this year, we seem a little belligerent and insecure. Also, there was some kind of game, which someone won, and if my body were less than 60 percent queso, I might remember who. The Trump re-election campaign ran an ad touting its success in criminal justice reform, and while I applaud it, a Trump ad about reuniting families is Mister Bananas. One legitimate surprise was a full-length ad from a cruel and vindictive death cult ( and then also there was one for Scientology). ![]() I also don’t know how “BabyNut” went over at your Super Bowl party, but mine was full of comedy people, and my eardrums sustained permanent damage. The commercials were baffling and sometimes effective: I don’t know which skateboarding toddler in the Mountain Dew demographic will be moved by Bryan Cranston inside The Shining, but I’ve already been to three grocery stores looking for those pretzel PopTarts. The players entered the field via some kind of Britney Spears video narrated by The Rock, and then a million children sprinted out, and then there were fireworks, and then we found out there is about to be a Lego game show.

Listen: the country has never been more divided-one half of the country believes the president of the United States committed a crime, while the other half believes the President of the United States committed a crime- but we can all agree on one thing: an interview with the leader of the free world should not steal a segment from Family Feud.

It’s an organization that is mired in scandal, but you cannot deny that one hundred is a nice round number, so we celebrated by naming the 100 greatest NFL players of all time, which included OJ Simpson, who was for some reason a no-show.īefore the induction ceremony of the CTE Hall of Fame, Fox aired a Sean Hannity interview with President Trump, which ended in Hannity’s apparent trademark “Lightning Round,” in which Hannity just named people Trump doesn’t like and let him criticize them with no follow-up questions.

Seventeen of the 58 yards came on one play, and the Chiefs made contact with him near the line of scrimmage on a handful of carries to halt his progress.Įven though the box score says the 49ers ran for 141 yards, that part of the offense was not as dominant as it was in the first two postseason games. While he did score a touchdown, Mostert only received 12 carries as part of his team's running back rotation that included Tevin Coleman earning five carries and Jeff Wilson Jr. The Super Bowl expectations were not to record 200 yards again, but to be effective in the San Francisco rushing attack.
