Good Morning Wilmington!

That was some game last night! If you didn’t see it, the Chiefs secured their third Super Bowl win in five years with a 25-22 overtime victory against the San Francisco 49ers. Usher did a top-notch job of entertaining during the halftime show–at one point daring to dance with roller skates on a relatively small stage. At the very end of the game, President Joe Biden made a bizarre post mocking recent suggestions that the NFL is scripted by saying “Just how we drew it up.”
