An actual music video? What bizarro world are we living in?

I could almost understand them getting upset if they had some grand master plan and this somehow detailed that. But what are the chances of that? They’ve given us no inclination that there’s any means to an end here. We got two singles a few years back and the god damn physical release was like a year later and even that was delayed. If they were even the slightest bit open and honest or ever spoke aboit anything noteworthy, this shit probably wouldn’t happen. But everything is shrouded in secrecy, so this is what we get. And we don’t get upset. It’s not worth losing sleep over anymore. We all learned that long ago.

Man did KC get some favorable calls against Cincy.  I know people like to say the NFL is rigged and they wanted Mahomes in the SB over Cincinnati, and there may be some truth to that.  But ultimately Cincinnati could've overcome all those bad calls that went against them.  They just played like assholes down the stretch.

I like the Eagles over the Chiefs.  I know they've played a really easy schedule and haven't faced many good or even decent QBs this year, but I just think they're a more well rounded team.  Mahomes is obviously a huge factor and the Chiefs have the experience but Hurts ain't so bad himself.

And Tom Brady announced his retirement (again) today.  I think this time it's for real.  This season was draining for him on and off the field.  He should've just stayed retired looking back, but he's such a competitor.  Easier said than done.  He just looked checked out this year at times and didn't seem to have that same fire.  I know they got killed against the Cowboys, but even when they were showing some signs of life he just didn't have that same intensity.  The Bucs sneakily sucked this year, and Brady wasn't the issue.  Problem is though, in years past he has done more with less talented rosters.  They still had good WR and a decent defense.  But their run game was non existent and the offensive line was pretty awful all around.  I think he finally just had enough and it's become too difficult to lift a team onto his shoulders like he's done so many times in the past.  I was blessed to see him play in every home game and some on the road in person from 2007-2019.  I can certainly tell you it's a far different experience and feeling walking into Gillette Stadium post Brady.  With Brady, you never thought they were out of it despite how bleak things may have looked.  There will never be another winner like him.  Yes, the rules are catered to QBs these days, but multiple guys go down every week with serious injuries.  Tom Brady didn't miss a single game after he missed basically the entire 2008 season with a torn ACL/MCL.  He played 14 god damn seasons straight without missing a game at a position where he's in harm's way basically every offensive play.  That is probably even more impressive than the 7 SB rings.  Mahomes is great, but how long is he going to last?  He's had some pretty serious injuries in his short career so far.  And most of the other young stud QBs use their legs a lot more and are more susceptible to big hits.  Pure pocket passers with great pocket awareness are a dying breed.  So we may see QBs with greater abilities for a shorter time.  But no one will be putting up the numbers he was still putting up in his god damn mid 40s.  Ridiculous!  The best to ever do it, hands down.

Late to the party here, but I echo the sentiments that the Ritz concert is awesome!  It really captures their essence during their ascent to stardom before things got completely bloated.  Don't get me wrong, I love it all.  But the difference is so apparent.  They were still one extremely cohesive unit.  Too bad Steven couldn't stick around, but Matt mixed in without skipping a beat.  I watched the show by myself and then put it on while playing with my 5 year old daughter.  My wife wasn't too thrilled with that when she got home.  I was responsible and turned the volume down or skipped over the profanities, at least I tried.  I haven't listened to much else though from the box set.
