You may have heard this once or twice, so if this next statement sounds redundant, we apologize. You may have heard though. There's a pretty big game being played on Sunday. The Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs meet in Super Bowl LIX to determine who will claim the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Those of you who are casual fans or new to this are learning the Super Bowl is a pretty big deal. Over the years, there have been discussions about making it a national holiday.
That makes sense to us. After all, holidays bring people together and are celebrated at the same time of year. They also often birth memories, moments we'll never forget. That brings us to to recent pieces of news that we'd like to discuss.

We get it. He's rocking an A.J. Brown jersey. We know the two or close, but it's Deebo Samuel in an Eagles jersey. You can understand why this threw us off-guard, right?
As you may have guessed, this one wasn't missed. Football afficionados from all over shared their opinions. Here's one in particular.

That's cool. We'll take it. New York Giants are cheering for Philly. Why shouldn't Deebo do the same? We can live with this. Just don't invite these guys into the locker room for the celebration or allow them access to the victory parade.
