On Super Bowl Sunday I hereby grant Gridiron absolution [View all]

To every team that played hard and fell short,
Starting with my Philadelphia Eagles.
Last day for my Birds to be the reigning Champs.

Let’s go fans! What team are you granting absolution?
See you all on the field next year.

BTW… rooting for the Seahawks, mostly because of the resurrection of Sam Darnold. I love a good comeback story. GO BIRDS.

Green Day and Bad Bunny…. Gonna be fun!
