Youth National Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman — who spoke at President Joe Biden’s inauguration last month — presented a new piece dedicated to the three “honorary captains” the NFL selected to laud before the big game: educator Trimaine Davis, nurse manager Suzie Dorner, and Marine veteran James Martin. The trio were selected for recognition because they embodied the message of the NFL’s season-long It Takes All of Us campaign. “Poetry at the Super Bowl is a feat for art and our country, because it means we’re thinking imaginatively about human connection even when we feel siloed,” Amanda tweeted ahead of the show. “I’ll honor three heroes who exemplify the best of this effort. Here’s to them, to poetry, and to a #SuperBowl like no other.” Check it out below: What a moment. @TheAmandaGorman #SBLV pic.twitter.com/v8VM9uhPww — NFL (@NFL) February 7, 2021 “During this incredibly challenging time in … [Read more...] about Super Bowl 2021: Poet Amanda Gorman Honors NFL’s Three ‘Honorary Captains’

Whatever this is, it’s not a movie — it’s a product more deserving of a road test than a review. Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw is the ninth chapter in the Fast & Furious series (the gross is over $5 billion across the previous eight films) and its first spinoff. Meaning if you’ve never seen a F&F movie, the street-racing franchise with Vin Diesel that dates back to 2001, you won’t be confused — it won’t matter a damn. Meaning Hobbs & Shaw is a well-oiled machine that puts two supporting charmers from the series — Dwayne Johnson’s Luke Hobbs, a DSS agent and single father, and Jason Statham’s Deckard Shaw, a rogue military operative — in the center ring and lets those fan-favorites rip. Meaning, how can you resist? You won’t. Never mind that Hobbs & Shaw drags on for 134 minutes and has more family subplots than Downton Abbey.
