President Trump's planned tariffs on steel and aluminium imports widely condemned
The bookmakers had this down as a three-point game. They were calling it just about in favor for the Kansas City Chiefs. And when these two teams met in the Super Bowl two years ago, it was a three-point game. So there's more than a little bit of revenge here for Philadelphia. But the margin of victory, really, I mean, I know it ended, what, 40-22, which is still obviously a great margin.

But for a lot of the game, Kansas City Chiefs just weren't on the scoreboard.

Yeah, absolutely. The dumping of fizzy drinks over the coaches is normally done after the final whistle, let alone with three minutes on the game clock. But, you know, so confident were they that victory had already been assured? Yes, you're right. It put a sheen on the score that perhaps Kansas City didn't deserve.

Yes, absolutely. Samuel L. Jackson, we certainly weren't expecting. Sitter was kind of rumoured to be, and I guess it wasn't that much of a surprise. Actually, the real surprise came when I went back to the media room and we were talking about the halftime show, and someone said to me, did you see Serena Williams? And I was like, you mean tennis star Serena Williams?

And yet she was on stage as one of the dancers. And so that was a real surprise. And so somewhat relegating Samuel L. Jackson and SZA to something not quite afterthought. But certainly that's that's now the thought that I have in my mind that Serena Williams where I didn't even see her.

Yeah, absolutely. And of course, the way that the system of American football works here, actually the draft system, which is coming in April, each team gets to pick the best college players. It rewards the worst teams. So because Kansas City have been so successful over the last few years and because, of course, although they haven't won today, this is a highly successful season.

they won't get to be able to pick the very best cream of the crop coming through the game. So I think they will have to look at what comes next. There's been rumours that Travis Kelsey might hang up his cleats. But whilst Patrick Mahomes is their quarterback, they will be very dangerous and hard to beat next season.
