The Most Over-Hyped Super Bowl Ever?


 By Weston Swift


        Coming into this week all we heard on every sports news channel was would this be the greatest Super Bowl in history offensively at least, Brady vs Mahomes, or as John C. Reilly put it in step-brothers, the old bull vs the young calf. Though once the game got started it was basically the same story we've watched 6 times before, in sense that Brady was on his way to what he calls his favorite super bowl "The next one". Yes, all his super bowl victories had different beginnings, but the ending was the same, and this one might've been his most dominate one. Still it's crazy that Pat Mahomes went from the chosen one who could catch, and maybe even surpass Brady, to being compared to Russell Wilson. This meaning he's a fun player, his team will be in it every year and he will finish top-4 in MVP voting every year. 

        Though, even with all the over-hype you can't deny that the game did have some compelling story lines, obviously we covered the QB matchup, Gronk vs Kelce (same age by the way), Brady without Bill, Tampa Bay in there own stadium, etc. Plus we're in the middle of a freaking pandemic, and new entertainment options are scarce. Storylines don't make great games though and last night was just another example of that.

        At the end of the day I ate some good dip, watched a entertaining half time show, saw some decent commercials and saw the GOAT get his 7th super bowl ring.

Killers of the Flower Moon: Scorsese, De Niro, and DiCaprio Reunited…for Eternity

Image
     I n "Killers of the Flower Moon," Martin Scorsese returns to his epic storytelling ways. And by epic, I mean "Let's make a movie so long that even Methuselah would ask for an intermission." That's right, folks, the only thing longer than the film's runtime is the anticipation to see the holy trinity of Scorsese, De Niro, and DiCaprio reuniting again. The film opens with a reminder that Scorsese is not just a director; he's a time lord who effortlessly bends minutes and hours to his will. At a whopping three and a half hours, you better pack a snack, a catheter, and possibly a change of clothes. "Killers of the Flower Moon" is so long that by the time the end credits roll, you'll be able to boast that you've aged faster than the cast of "The Irishman" under those de-aging CGI effects. Now, let's talk about the reunion of Scorsese, De Niro, and DiCaprio. It's like the Super Bowl of cinema collaborations, except ...
