Super Bowl: A+ Super Bowl Commercials: F
I don’t know if I can call Super Bowl 52 the greatest Super Bowl I’ve ever seen when there was very little defense played. But that was definitely the most entertaining Super Bowl I’ve ever seen. Great game, a joy to watch.

I think essentially all Americans would sincerely like other people to be happy. Even people who we don’t know and with whom we will never have any interactions, I think we would still like those individuals to have happy and fulfilled lives.

The hatred and disdain that politics brings out towards our friends, our relatives, our neighbors is unfortunate.
