Competitive Super Bowl LIX? Nope, the Eagles crushed the Chiefs
Posted By RichC on February 11, 2025
Brenda and I enjoyed watching Super Bowl LIX on Sunday February 9, 2025 in Florida this year (summary below) after a enjoyable sunny day and walk on the 
beach. It sure is a great way to escape the winter (see Oostras skating below the break)!
One of the lowlights of our beach walk (my antonym for “highlight”) is that some ship or barge must have leak or dumped oil waste that is washing up on Florida’s Atlantic beaches as tarballs. 
I remember “tarballs” from my childhood on Lake Erie and occasionally when visiting Brenda’s parents in the 1990s in Florida. In those days we would use “tanning oil” (ugh!) to clean the tar off our our feet.
As for the Super Bowl, it was a bit of a dud of a game, but “highlighted” just how good the Philadelphia Eagles were this year. They clinched their second Super Bowl victory, beating the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 on Sunday. evening to 52% of the country’s delight (only 48% favored the Chiefs “again”).
The Eagles took control early, leading 24-0 by halftime. Jalen Hurts was outstanding, both throwing and rushing for touchdowns, including a 46-yard pass to DeVonta Smith. The defense was also dominant, with rookie Cooper DeJean snagging an interception and returning it for a touchdown. The Chiefs tried to rally in the second half, with Patrick Mahomes throwing two touchdown passes, but the Eagles stayed strong and held them off. Despite Mahomes’ 300 yards passing, the Chiefs couldn’t recover from the Eagles’ relentless pressure and defense. This win gave Philadelphia its second Super Bowl title, adding to their 2018 victory.
The Oostra family definitely takes advantage of the snow and winter in Toledo … more skating as a family with the girls! It looks like a good time.
