No dynasty, but plenty of silly

 In the end, President Donald John Narcissus Trump was the kiss of death for the Kansas City Chiefs.

The decision by Trump to become the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl would've been enough by itself, but there was an underlying reason why he decided to go. He wanted to steal some spotlight from the Chiefs' #1 fan, singer Taylor Swift, and even trolled Swift on Truthless Social after the game, but, we're getting ahead of ourselves.

The Philadelphia Eagles' fan base travels well, and they booed the Chiefs & Swift mercilessly. If you didn't see that at the start of the evening, you'd assume fans in general had turned on the Chiefs because of the relentless, baseless conspiracy theories that have dogged them for the last couple of months as they closed in on a chance to be the first team since the Green Bay Packers to win 3 straight NFL titles. To be fair, the Packers' 1st of those three titles came in the last pre-Super Bowl title game.

Any talk of conspiracies dissipated after 2 early, controversial calls, one for each team, in the first quarter. The Chiefs slowed down, if not outright stopped, Saquon Barkley, but that enabled Jalen Hurts to find receivers Jahan Dotson, AJ Brown, & DeVonta Smith for big gains, the latter pair for touchdowns. The "Brotherly Shove" was only used to give Philadelphia the first score of the night, and never used again.

Meanwhile, Philadelphia's defense frustrated Patrick Mahomes into two interceptions, including a Pick-6 to rookie Cooper DeJean, and sacked Mahomes 6 times. Down 24-0 at halftime, Kansas City finally got on the board with a trio of scores in the 2nd half, but, by then, it was too late. The chance for a 3-peat was gone. Philadelphia won its 2nd title, 40-22.

Prior to the game, Trump put his support behind the Chiefs. But, of course, he reveled in the loss, as trolls are wont to do.

The commercials, on the other hand, were hit or miss. One of the better ones was for Coors Light, using some CGI sloths. And, then, there was this oddball for Bud Light, with Post Malone, Shane Gillis, and Peyton Manning.

We could've done without a sequel to last year's "Dunkings" farce for Dunkin', with Ben & Casey Affleck, Jeremy Strong, and Bill Belichick. This was DOA. The teaser for "Megan 2.0" looked like a WWE entrance video at first, and, maybe, that was the point. Disney's live action remake of "Lilo & Stitch" seems like fun, but can we get away from all the pre-sold remakes & reboots?

Fox's Tom Brady appeared in 2 spots. One, with Snoop Dogg, was roasted on social media because of their support for the president. Brady's former boss, Robert Kraft, is the head of a charity foundation that combats anti-semitism. The folks behind those "Jesus gets us" ads served up a new clip, this one using the late Johnny Cash's cover of Depeche Mode's 1990 hit, "Personal Jesus". Brady otherwise was presented by Duracell (now a unit of Procter & Gamble) as some sort of robot, and the ad ends with the implication that his former teammate, Rob Gronkowski, who otherwise was shilling for Frito Lay Tostitios, is one, too. Well, Gronk wouldn't know the difference, anyway.

Well, nobody's perfect......
