Finally, another Reds fan. Me too. First game I ever saw was at Riverfront against the Dodgers. Summer of 75 I think with those awesome Big Red Machine teams, and have been a fan ever since!
Fine with either outcome. Drake winning a Super Bowl in his second season would be a really cool story, but Boston fans have seen enough championships over the years so it’s always nice to see them get humbled every now and then lol.
Really just hope it’s an exciting game. I feel like there’s a chance the Seahawks could run away with it.

Drake hasn't publicly “come out” as a Trumper, but sure is “spreading the good news” like an Evangelical from the South. For whatever that’s worth. Hope he’s a bit more like Billy Graham the original and not like Junior. Or as others have thought, hope he’s more of the Dean Smith-type Christian and not the Jim and Tammy Faye, Jerry Falwell, Maga-type variety. But all that shouldn’t matter in the Super Bowl. But I doubt he’ll sneak out of the locker room at halftime to take a peek at the Bad Bunny show.
I get it.
But as a Boston sports fan since the 70s (although I dropped Celtics fandom in the 90s), it is worth pointing out that Boston was perhaps the worst sports city until this millennium. The Patriots were Cleveland Browns level of futility for most of my life. The Bruins never won. The Sox never won except for 86, and then Buckner-ed it away.
Yes, they have had a disproportionate share of professional success this millennium (a championship in all four major sports), but their sports were really bad for a really long time before that.

are we just going to ignore the Celtics' 5 championships between '74 and '86?
Yes, because I stopped rooting for the Celtics once Jordan made it with the Bulls.

There are public records available online for political party affiliation for the entire Maye family if one is curious. Not that this is necessarily dispositive, but it may provide some hints.
For the record, Luke is a registered Democrat while Drake is unaffiliated.

Seahawks fan here, terrified of the game. Think we’re really going to struggle to run the ball but hoping the Defense will continue to come through.

Hilarious.
He’s tacking whacks at Diddy. The cheese puffs, the combs, the cognac brand is owned by 50 and the aged 4 years or 50 months who’s counting line is a reference to Diddy’s 50 month prison sentence.
Also, the learning your ABC’s book is a jab at rumors Diddy can’t read.

I have now that you asked:
Fanatics apologizes for Super Bowl jersey backlash
Fanatics apologizes for Super Bowl jersey backlash
Fanatics issued a public apology Monday night after fans complained about the rollout of Super Bowl LX merchandise for the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks, with frustrations centered on jerseys selling out quickly and patched alternatives drawing scrutiny online.
“…In its statement, Fanatics said the matchup created "unprecedented challenges for us because of the massive surge in demand we saw from Patriots and Seahawks fans," adding "we've let Patriots and Seahawks fans down with product availability -- we own that and we are sorry."
The company cited the unusual nature of the moment as the root of its supply problem, noting that both teams missed the playoffs a year ago and entered this season with long odds before making a sudden leap to the Super Bowl.
That, Fanatics said, is "an incredibly rare occurrence that led to these two fan bases buying nearly 400 percent more jerseys since Thanksgiving vs. last year."
Even with increased orders, the company said it has struggled to keep team color jerseys in stock due to overwhelming demand, while promising that more inventory is arriving daily and that it is offering other options.…”

But after googling, it looks to be a Social media lie. It seems to be a quote taken out of context and not supporting what is going around tic tok and instagram.
Doesn't surprise me.
I really hope that he isn't a trumper.
