Why isn't Super Bowl Sunday the one before President's Day?
Move it one week over. Throw us a bone here.

I think it’s somewhere in the middle. It wasn’t behavior we’ve never seen before but it was notable. The crowd I was with definitely noticed and took as a sign that KC was in meltdown mode. Which they were for the first half. They played a much better second half. This is exactly how I thought of it at the moment. When I saw it happen, I was like, oh that seems a little much. But it didn’t come across as violent, to me, or *that* remarkable. It was remarkable (to the general spectators) because it was Taylor’s boyfriend. I really don’t think there would be as much talk about it had it been anyone else, with the except of maybe Mahomes. You said this better than I could have, I agree fully

You know who is going to come down on Travis for all of this? Andy Reid. And Jason Kelce. Because those are the people in this relationship. From watching the podcast and being a Chiefs fan my entire life, I think Travis and Andy have a nephew/uncle relationship. And Jason vouched for Travis every step of the way.
I’m not here to get jumped on or argue. Should Travis have done it? No. Do I think emotions were high? Yes. Do I think Travis has always been like this and needs more work on handling these emotions? Yes. I also think Andy knows how to handle Kelce, and he was never in any danger from him. That seems almost laughable.
But hey, I’m not there, in that adrenaline filled situation with the world looking at me, so what do I know?

Oh my god. I just saw the viva Las Vegas Travis clip and and then the pan to Taylor and her cringe face. That is amazing. They actually are perfect for each other. But we all need a long offseason break from both of them. I hope they go on a nice loooooooong break from the public eye. I'm sick of seeing them and I'm sick of seeing all of the complaints about seeing them.

We turned down plans for yesterday because I just don't want to socialize on Sunday nights. And I wanted my kids bathed and in their pjs before the game started, so I didn't have to fight that fight later. Same goes for the college football national championship, which is worse because it starts later and is on a Monday!

Put the big ones on the weekend. They play on Saturday the rest of the year anyway (mostly). Why move it for that (money, TV coverage, I know).

I was going to share a link to the Dunkin' merch drop of the sweet Dunkings tracksuits that went on sale 40 minutes ago, but it's already sold out.

I think the before Alicia keys part of the half time was a combo of
(1) usher was barely singing (a lot was background track) due to dancing (2) his voice was off (3) his mic wasn’t positioned well and maybe not working great
He sounded much better once he switched to the handheld mic.
I think it was good on rewatch. Very fun show. The roller skating was super cool.

I wouldn’t have thought too much of Travis doing that had it not been at his coach. I told my kids, “this would be like you screaming in your teacher’s face.” Obviously you shouldn’t be running up on and screaming at anyone, but to your coach, in the middle of the Super Bowl? Sit down, dude. And yes, it’s getting extra attention because everyone knows his face. But I think for people who watch football, it would be a thing no matter who did it.

I get the sense that Travis is a fiercely competitive person, but also someone with solid emotional intelligence. I saw that Andy Reid said Travis apologized to him privately. It wasn't how I'd like my kid to act while playing sports, but everyone has the potential to mess up in an emotionally charged competitive situation. It's what they say and do in the aftermath that counts to me. I assume Travis will address the incident as well as the media response to it in the podcast. I'm interested to hear that part. It's also really not hard to say to your kid "hey see what Travis just did, that wasn't acceptable." I can guarantee he will address it and he will likely also say the same thing.

I also think it's OK to acknowledge that kids and adults are different and can do different things.
I didn't see violence, so it's not teaching them not to be violent. But there is a different threshold to me of what's acceptable for adults and what's acceptable for kids.

Also if they're gonna have the game on a Sunday they could at least start it way earlier and no I don't care if that means it's morning for West Coasters.

Friend, no one said this. "We need to teach them that when they are frustrated that getting angry...is not ok" I will agree with the physical part of that comment, but telling someone it's not ok to be angry is not ok. It absolutely is. It is a legit emotion. Trying to suppress that is not a way to handle it. So yes, stating that someone being angry is not ok is absolutely saying that they are failing for having an emotion. Even if they do not express it externally with words or physical actions. I will not agree that is correct. It is ok to be mad. It is ok to be angry. Stop this "little girls have to be sugar and spice and always nice" nonsense. They can have emotions. They can be upset. That isn't a negative trait to have an emotion. My love, I didn’t say that though. I think your emotions are a beautiful thing. Feel those feelings.

But it wouldn’t be headline news on People like it is for Kelce. I shouldn’t have generalized “people who watch football.” Obviously, everyone has different standards for what they categorize as aggression.

Also if you watch the actual clip and not the very carefully selected still it looks nothing like what people are making it out to be.
