Super Bowl LVIII was the most watched live TV program ever in the history of television! There were Chiefs fans and 49ers fans (I gave the 49ers my primary allegiance only because they have a bunch of outstanding Gamecocks on the team including one of the best, Deebo Samuel), but I am the first to acknowledge that the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes are pretty hard to beat! I did not attend a Super Bowl party, although I certainly have in the past, but I marvel on social media at how hyped-up people get about the Super Bowl and its halftime entertainment. I am by no means an entertainer and yield to my oldest son Patrick who is the performer in the family, but I thought the halftime show was great and the game itself was fantastic. The fact that the Super Bowl was watched around the globe including Australia, the far East, Europe, and other countries is a testimony to the National Football League’s success and all its incredible marketing efforts.

I look forward to enjoying more Super Bowls in my lifetime.

We’re here for the people of South Carolina!
