The NFL playoffs have been filled with juicy storylines and elite matchups the last three weeks and it all leads us to this defining moment yet again: the Super Bowl. There’s no sporting event in the U.S. that garners more viewers and hype on a yearly basis. NFL diehards are going to be treated to a rematch of the big game from 2023 between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs. Philly trounced the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship by a score of 55-23. Saquon Barkley and the Eagles’ stout offensive line were overwhelming against Jayden Daniels and the younger Washington squad.

Kansas City got revenge over Buffalo for their regular season loss to the Bills with a narrow 32-29 victory during the AFC title round. It was the fourth consecutive playoff win for the Chiefs over the Bills. Now the Eagles and Chiefs meet again with all the cards on the table. Kansas City is going for three straight Super Bowls, and the Eagles are attempting a second one in the last 10 years. This is how to watch the Super Bowl and what to expect during Super Bowl LIX.

Where to watch: FOX, stream on Tubi

Fans claim they have Chiefs fatigue after seeing Kansas City in the last game of the year five times since 2018, but football fans will still tune in to see the fate of the NFL’s most controversial and successful juggernaut. The Chiefs have a great team in every way. From the greatness of Patrick Mahomes at quarterback to the genius play calling of Andy Reid, Kansas City is always ready for whatever a team throws at them. This was evident during the AFC Championship game when Patrick Mahomes ran for 43 yards and two rushing touchdowns in the game. Mahomes is usually known for his passing exploits, but he proved he could change up his game when the moment asks for it. The Eagles have a great defensive line so expect Mahomes to tweak his approach again if the blitz gets to him throughout the Super Bowl.

Philadelphia is a powerhouse, physical team that will rely on the running of Saquon Barkley, but Kansas City has a way of taking away what you want to do throughout a game. The Eagles might ask quarterback Jalen Hurts to do more than he’s used to with passing the ball if the Chiefs limit Barkley. Another wild card aspect of the game is the coaching of Eagle’s headman Nick Siriani. He says he can’t wait to get back to the championship round and get the title they missed out on in 2023. Siriani is a big talker whose personality fits Philadelphia perfectly.

The game can be viewed on FOX and streamed on Tubi. The previous NFL playoff games could be viewed on streamers such as Peacock and also on Paramount+, but the Super Bowl has limited viewing options compared to the previous playoff games. Kendrick Lamar will perform the halftime show. Seven-time champion Tom Brady will be making his Super Bowl broadcasting debut with FOX.

Elevate your elegance: Choosing your first cigar
Face, Head, Person

Earlier this year, I was strolling the streets of New York and ended up sitting in the Carnegie Club with an Old Fashioned in one hand and a cigar in the other while My Way by Frank Sinatra played from a speaker flanking leather-bound books behind the couch I had been using as my perch. It was my first cigar, but it led to a slight obsession that recently found me on the back deck of a lodge in Kenya, staring at Mount Kilimanjaro and smoking a stick while giraffes meandered by. Admittedly, there has been no intention in my budding hobby; I am aimlessly choosing the cigars that look good (the ones that look like those smoked by Arnold or Stallone in the movies, obviously). But I have decided to approach these in a new way, with a little help from my friends over at La Aurora, who graciously decided to navigate my ignorance with some info compiled by Brand Manager John Gaglio, with input from Master Blender Manuel Ynoa, CEO Ed McKenna, and Brand Manager Elvis Batista.

FIFA’s Gianni Infantino Is Uglifying the Beautiful Game With $20 Billion Plot — But the Global Soccer Community’s Punching Back
People, Person, Crowd

For the better part of two decades, perhaps even more, corruption has allegedly run rampant within FIFA. Sepp Blatter, in particular, became the face of alleged extortion schemes, and he operated with impunity while at the helm of the organization for 17 years, from 1998 until his forced resignation in 2015 amid an FBI corruption probe. He’s banned for life from all football-related FIFA activities. If you’re new to the organization’s alleged deep connection to corruption, Netflix offers a brilliant 2022 documentary, FIFA Uncovered. In that documentary, Gianni Infantino appears in his previous capacity as Secretary General of UEFA (2009-2016) and later as the newly elected FIFA president, who vowed to root out corruption and hand the beautiful game back to the people where it belongs.

That, as it turns out, was all wishful thinking.

Escobar Cigars, Co-Owned by Nas, Drops Four-Profile Robusto House Blend Collection
Blade, Knife, Weapon

Imagine that, Nas is getting closer to ruling the cigar world. The legendary rapper’s Escobar Cigars, which he co-owns, is making waves with the launch of a new four-profile House Blend collection. The launch is in partnership with Cigar Chief, one of North America’s largest premium cigar retailers.

The Manual has not yet had the chance to do a taste review (a pack is on the way), but Escobar Cigars says the four-profile House Blend collection (Maduro, Premium Blend Connecticut, Habano, and Connecticut Robusto) “has its own distinct wrapper, filler, and strength profile,” and that “all four are rolled in 5 x 52 Robusto format using classic Cubano entubado construction.”
