Joe Biden sets the NFL world ablaze

It is a good call by the President, according to this fan.
Good call, Joe. Jalen Hurts it the man. And Pennsylvania is more important come election time.

But even some of the fiercest Biden supporters cannot agree with the President.
Sorry Mr. President, i'm on board with almost everything you say and do. However as a native New Yorker and LOYAL Giants fan, I just can't bring myself to back Philly.

The First lady is a big Eagles fan and never shies away from a show of support. She even got a custom Eagles jersey before the big game. But all the support from the White House wasn’t enough to get the Eagles over the line in the showdown.
The Eagles’ flight was cut short
The Eagles led Super Bowl LVII all the way to the fourth quarter. And it looked like a win was on cards for them. But Patrick Mahomes just exploded in the final quarter to take the Vince Lombardi trophy home.
The Chiefs trailed 27-21 when they went into the fourth quarter. And their offense went all out and snatched the victory on the big day.
Mahomes threw 182 passing yards in the game, but he managed to throw three touchdown passes. He also gained 44 yards with his legs. And Harrison Butker won it again for them with a game-winning field goal, just like he did in the AFC championship game two weeks ago.
The Kelce Bowl went to Travis Kelce and the White House household will be a little glum at the moment. The Chiefs are the team to beat till Mahomes is under center.
