Comedy superstar and Philadelphia Eagles fan Kevin Hart made some headline last night after his team upset the favored New England Patriots to win the NFL Championship. Hart could be seen online attempting to get on the podium with the team when the field filled up at U.S. Bank Stadium, he was denied. The comedian then made what looked like an impromptu appearence on the NFL Network in which he used a naughty word on live TV. Yeah, Hart was going hard at the big game last night but his behavior is slightly silly.

Hart for his part, apologized in a video he posted on his IG. It seems like the hangover and reality of his drunken behavior is kicking in.
38,000 bags of Four Seasons Mixed Vegetables have been pulled from Aldi shelves after a dead rat was allegedly discovered by a woman from the U.K. Pat Cornwall told The Sun, ““I couldn’t believe my eyes when I pulled it out. It just looked like half a rat. It had fur on it. I showed my husband and because it was frozen we left it to defrost before taking another look at it.”
The Sun uncovered a report from Aldi saying it had received one customer complaint and two from Environmental Health about similar issues. One report notes a “mouse portion” was found in February, 2017.
And with that, let’s eat some meat.
This song is called “Don’t Stay” — and holy falsetto! — a passionate message as old as time: letting go someone you love. New album JOYFUL coming this spring from the group, by the way. — [eric]
Foo Fighters performed in New Zealand on Saturday night, and the list of items people could not bring into the stadium started out pretty standard — no large bags, coolers, prepared food — but then it turned left about 90 degrees :
And so on….I won’t ruin the rest of the discovery process for you. Enjoy reading the rest. — [eric]

The latest NFL Bad Lip Reading is out. Perfect way to close out the season.
It was a close finish. But the winner in this year’s Ad Meter, the live poll that surveys what America thinks about the commercial during the Super Bowl, is this one:
It barely beat out this —- high energy dance number? — from the NFL (they appear to have tied according to the link above, but it must have been beat by just thousandths of a point):
A honorable mention — just because I’m going to be saying this to a certain coworker of mine for a while:
Good luck, Kevin Kellam. You all know what to do. — [eric]
From dinosaurs, to Avengers, to Han Solo. Last night’s game was full of new trailers. Here’s everything I can remember running.
“Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom.” Because this time they’ll realize people and dinosaurs can’t live together…. Still, it looks cool.
“Avengers: Infinity War” is going to be insane and bring in an insane amount of money. Which is good, because Disney really needs it.
This one you can actually watch now on Netflix. It was available right after the game.
Be quiet or John Krasinski and his family will die. That pretty much sums this up.
If the impossible mission was to try and milk this for six movies, congrats Paramount. You did it.
The Rock is going to be awesome. Stuff is going to explode. More of the Rock being awesome. The Rock saves the day.
This sin’t even out and I already feel like I want a sequel. Also, I’m a nerd.
If you didn’t know Jennifer Lawrence was a total bad ass, now you do.
It doesn’t matter what sport you’re talking about, Philly fans are pretty much the worst. So, we really shouldn’t be shocked that they lost their minds after the Eagles beat the Patriots last night. This is some of the mess left over from their “celebration.” If this is how Philly fans react to a win, imagine if they lost?

Here’s a recap of some of the damage fans caused in Philly.
I don’t think you’re going to beat this one though. Why? Your team won, so you ate poop? Fly Eagles, fly.
With all the traffic due for the Twin Cities’ other big sports stadium today, one might forget about the open air sister down the street…empty, quiet, awaiting baseball.
A 59 year old “snow artist” did not overlook what kind of a canvas an untouched and snowy Target Field would provide for him this past week. Using just his footprints.
According to the StarTribune, Simon Beck has a lifetime goal of making 1,000 of these pieces of winter art by the time he is 80. On average, it takes him 11 hours to do a piece…and travels about 25 miles in each one. The video below show his first ever stadium-sized installation. — [eric]
Urlacher is going to Canton.
Chicago Bears great Brian Urlacher has been elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on his first ballot today. He becomes the 27th Bear to get the nod, and the 5th linebacker from the Bears to be enshrined. Urlacher started with the Monsters of the Midway in 2000 after being selected ninth in the first round of draft. At 6’5 and 258lbs Urlacher would go on to play as the definitive Bears player of his generation, leading the defense to success in 2006/2007 season which included an NFC Championship and a run in Super Bowl XLI.
Urlacher got the wonderful news today in a hotel room with his family, and it was so heartwarming to see his emotions. As always he handled the news with class and grace. It was refreshing to see Urlacher note how happy he was, and how happy he was to get the honor as a Chicago Bear.
Chicago Tribune has more on this breaking story here.
JEOPARDY is a true game for our most enlightened and smartest people, but apparently these brainiacs are not football fans. This week on the episode of the long-running game show, host Alex Trebek shoved these nerds down with verbal sacks like he was the Bears in ’85.
What did they expect? The contestants on the spin-off show ‘Sports Jeopardy’ would do much better, but here is a look at the top 10 worst fails in the history of Jeopardy.
But we all know this is our favorite version of Jeopardy, it’s the one hosted by Will Ferrell dealing with bad-behaving celebrities. Ye know, celebs like ‘Turd Fergurson’?
According to a report from TMZ who was able to get a big scoop about Sunday’s Super Bowl Halftime featuring pop prince Justin Timberlake, he’s going to have a hologram of Prince. The leaked surprise is already getting a ton of flack on social media just at the idea of it happening, and it’s sensitive topic considering this year’s game is going down in the Purple One’s hometown of Minneapolis.So normally an alternative hub like 101WKQX, would avoid some pop shenanigans but why is this happening?
Prince himself publicly expressed his disgust with the idea of holograms of past musicians in a 1998 interview with Guitar Weekly.
“That’s the most demonic thing imaginable,” Prince said at the time. “Everything is as it is, and it should be. If I was meant to jam with Duke Ellington, we would have lived in the same age. That whole virtual reality thing… it really is demonic. And I am not a demon. Also, what they did with that Beatles song [‘Free As a Bird’], manipulating John Lennon’s voice to have him singing from across the grave… that’ll never happen to me. To prevent that kind of thing from happening is another reason why I want artistic control.”
Unfortunately since Prince passed away, his estate has been making moves to possibly get a hologram projection of him out for display. On top of that there has been a big change to get Prince’s catalog of music on streaming services, something he was opposed to in some ways during his life.
Complex News first covered the controversial idea of a Prince hologram here in 2016.
No matter what happens, Prince connected himself to the Halftime Show after performing one of the best all-time sets in the much-anticipated performance at Super Bowl XLI in 2007. Now if only our beloved Chicago Bears could have fared much better in the loss that year against the Colts. The ruler of Paisley Park in his set overcame challenging rain fall into a special effect for his monster covers of the Foo Fighters, Jimi Hendrix, and his own classic songs. It was pouring down, he’s killing it with ‘Purple Rain’.
Weezer gave us a dream synth driven album ‘Pacific Daydream’ in October, well Rivers Cuomo and the boys are going to pretty productive with another new album ‘the Black Album’ in May. Yes, this band hustles they also had a power-pop West Coast themed ‘White Album’ in 2016. Yes, we know technically the Weez has had self titled albums in the past including their classic color tinged albums, but we know it’s about color in the titles.
While chatting with Australia radio presenter Zane Rowe , Cuomo on how this ‘Black Album’ was originally meant to follow the ‘White’ album but how the songs for ‘Pacific Daydream’ including the hits ‘Happy Hour’ and ‘Feels like Summer
materialized since.”We just weren’t quite ready [to release The Black Album] and this other album kind of materialized,” Cuomo said. “I had two folders on my Dropbox: one was ‘The Black Album’, and it didn’t get filled as quickly as this other folder, which I temporarily titled ‘New Folder.’ That one filled up with 10 songs that were definitely different, but not quite as different as the ‘Black Album.’ So we put a name on it—Pacific Daydream—and put that out first.” In the interview, Cuomo states the album will be “darker” and will be out on May 25th.
