Does this mean you're from Philadelphia and are a family of Eagles fans?

Yep. We're from a Philadelphia suburb. I'm not normally much of a sports fan, but the Eagles have been exciting in recent years, so I've been watching this season. I used to joke that the Eagles always lose if I watch them. They broke that trend this year, though.

I didn't realise how long an NFL game lasts - that one was about 3.5 hours!

Yeah, the ads are crazy. We typically record it on DVR and start watching 90 minutes late so we can fast forward through the ads.

I've heard of Kelce - he's the fella that's hooked up with Taylor Swift isn't he?

Yep. That's him. Jason Kelce has a reputation around here for being a really nice guy when people have random encounters with him. I'm curious who he'll be cheering for. Probably his brother's team, I guess.

I think that Patrick Mahomes is a big deal too.

Yeah, I think so too. I haven't really followed the chiefs, though, so don't know much about him. The last time I saw him play was 2023.

It's nice when you can tie sub-plots into a big game.

True. I've noticed this with science and tech, too. Topics become more interesting when you know something about the people who are involved.
