Charles Barkley Says He’s Betting $100k On The Eagles

by

Charles Barkley says that he’s planning on going to Las Vegas with a dozen of his friends and pulling an all-nighter for the Super Bowl. Additionally, he’s planning on dropping $100,000 on the Philidelphia Eagles to win the game. Barkley discussed his Super Bowl plans during an interview with the Steam Room podcast, earlier this week.

“Me and 12 of my friends go to Vegas every year for the Super Bowl,” Barkley said on the show. “There’s a good chance I’ma be pulling an all-nighter … Sunday into Monday, because we’re playing golf Saturday and Sunday, the Super Bowl starts around 3, 3:30 Pacific Time. So by the time the game ends, I’ll probably gamble all night Sunday and go straight to the airport.”

Charles Barkley’s Plans

From there, Barkley announced his bet and began a chant in support of his squad. “I’ll probably bet $100,000 on the game. Go Eagles,” Barkley exclaimed. “E. A. G. L. E. S. Eagles!” This Sunday won’t be the first time Barkley makes a major Eagles bet in the Super Bowl. When the team defeated the Patriots in 2018, he told Jimmy Kimmel of his winnings: “In Alabama, it’d buy a big condo. In L.A., a small guest house.”

For the game, Jalen Hurts and the Philidelphia Eagles will be taking on Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. The game is scheduled to kick off at 6:30 PM, ET on Sunday. During halftime, Rihanna will be making her long-awaited return to performing, after not taking the stage since 2018. Ahead of the show, Coldplay lead singer, Chris Martin, labeled Rihanna the best singer of all time. “You have to be an idiot not to recognize that she’s the best singer of all time,” he told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. “I don’t know Rihanna very well, I’m mainly just a fan. We performed with her a few times and it is rarer and rarer for her to just sing, which is what makes it even more special. In a strange way, it shows that she really, really wants to do it. No one can make Rihanna do anything at this point. I’m very biased because I’m such a big Rihanna fan. I mean, I think she could just walk out in sweatpants and sing, and that would be just great.”

Adele Says She’s Only Going To The Super Bowl For Rihanna

by

Adele says that she’s going to Super Bowl LVII, but only to watch Rihanna’s halftime show performance. The iconic U.K. singer shared her excitement for the show during one of her Weekends with Adele Vegas concerts at Ceasar’s Palace this week.

“I’m going just for Rihanna!” Adele said, before adding, “I don’t give a freaking flying fuck.” The Super Bowl will kick off on Sunday, February 12 in Glendale, Arizona. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs will be taking on Jalen Hurts and the Philidelphia Eagles.

This week wasn’t the first time that Adele has shared her love for Rihanna. Back in 2018, she penned a tribute to the singer in honor of her placement on Time‘s 100 Most Influential People.

“I actually can’t remember the first time I met Rihanna; I was probably numb from the shock of it,” Adele said at the time. The Grammy winner continued in her piece: “Whenever I’ve met her, she’s been the most gracious, loyal and funny goofball of an icon. She glows like when someone’s taken a picture with a flash and you’re dazed for a few minutes after. But it’s also very clear in that glow that she genuinely doesn’t give a f–k; she’s fearless and full of all the right kind of attitude to be everything that she is and will be forever.”

Rihanna has yet to announce a setlist for the highly-anticipated performance. However, last week, players for the Eagles named their favorite songs from the singer. Among the selections were “What’s My Name,” “Umbrella,” “Rude Boy,” “Work,” and “FourFiveSeconds.” There have further been rumors circulating that Rihanna is planning a massive North American tour later in 2023. If true, she’ll be hitting Europe the following year. “She has her North American dates ready to announce for 2023 after the Super Bowl. It will be a matter of time before she announces European dates for 2024,” a source recently revealed to The Sun. Check out Adele’s comments on Rihanna below. The 2023 Super Bowl airs on Fox Sunday, February 12 at 6:30 PM, ET.

Joey Bosa Uses Homophobic Language During Exchange With Eagles Fans

by

Joey Bosa got into a heated argument with fans in Philidelphia prior to the Eagles’ game against the San Francisco 49ers. The incident comes after the Chargers lost to the Jaguars in the Wild Card round after forfeting a 27-point lead.

“Bosa,” one Eagles fan repeatedly yelled. “When do the Chargers play?”

The Chargers linebacker then remarked that the fan recording the incident was Snapchatting his “butt buddies.”

“No just videoing you — the guy who’s not playing today!” he replied.

From there, the fan poked fun at Bosa for being fined $55,546 from the NFL for unsportsmanlike conduct in that game.

“They’re good, because I can afford it,” Bosa said back. “I’m fucking rich, you fucking broke bitch.”

Bosa was in attendance at the game in support of his brother, Nick, who plays for the 49ers. The Eagles ended up running away with the game after a critical injury to 49ers’ quarterback Brock Purdy. The last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft went down with an elbow injury early in the contest. He ended up returning to the field in the third quarter. Regardless, the Eagles won 31-7.

With the victory, the Eagles advance to Super Bowl LVII. The team’s opponent will be determined when the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night.

Super Bowl LVII is scheduled for February 12. In addition to the game, Rihanna will be headlining the halftime show.

Check out the video of Joey Bosa’s argument with the fans below.
