Today the NFL’s championship game, Super Bowl LVII (57) will be played in Glendale, Arizona. Philadelphia Eagles will take on Kansas City, Chiefs in a game that has become a cultural event for many in the United States and some around the world. This will be the first Super Bowl where two African-American quarterbacks will be in the starting lineups. I will be cheering for Philadelphia because I know more people who will be supporting the Eagles. I hope for a good game and a great half-time show performed by Rhiannon.
Today is Super Bowl Sunday in America. The Cincinnati Bengals take on The Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Yes, this is a bit of a home game for the rams who play their games at SoFi. It’s going to be a good game. Both teams got here because they played their best in the playoffs against some really good competition.
I am rooting for the Bengals but something tells me the Rams have the best shot at winning. Either way, it will be a barn burner I predict. Quarterbacks Matthew Stafford of the Rams and Joe Burrow of the Bengals I hope will put on a show.
The Atlanta Braves are up 3 games to 2 in the World Series and they will have to win it in Houston tonight (or tomorrow night if needed for a best of seven). My entire family is Braves fans and I will be monitoring the game on social media because I don’t want to jinx them. Hopefully, they can win it all.
Professional wrestler Jon Huber, better known by his ring name Brodie Lee passed away on Saturday. He was a heel/bad guy for All Elite Wrestling but outside the ring, he was a well-loved man who loved his family and the sport he was so good at. He was 41 years old and entirely too young to leave this life. Rest in Power, Brodie.
My favorite professional wrestling show celebrates one year on television tonight. AEW or All Elite Wrestling has done a lot of important things in the world of pro wrestling. I have been a pro wrestling fan off and on throughout my life and AEW re-sparked my interest in the sport. I am looking forward to every champion putting their titles on the line tonight in what will be a historic evening in TV.
