#Super #Bowl #whos #performing #national #anthem #Super #Bowl #LIX #ahead #Chiefs #EaglesPhiladelphia Eagles Gift Super Bowl Tickets to Survivor of New Orleans Attack
The Philadelphia Eagles are taking a very special guest with them to the Super Bowl in New Orleans.
On Jan, 30, the Eagles shared a video of the moment that defensive end Brandon Graham told Ryan Quigley, a longtime super fan of the team who was injured in the New Year’s Attack in New Orleans, that he was going to the big game on Feb. 9.
Quigley was injured in the attack and tragically, his best friend Tiger Bech was one of the 14 people killed on Bourbon Street that day.
The Eagles invited Quigley to their facility to give him the big news, where he told Graham that he had promised Bech, who he would attend games with, that he would take him to the Super Bowl if the Eagles returned.
“He would love nothing more than to be there,” an emotional Quigley said of his late friend.
“And I’m going to make sure he’s there with us, you know? I’m sharing his story,” Quigley added. “That’s my calling.”
Bech’s sister, Ginnie, was also invited to join Quigley at the Eagles facility, where she shed tears and said that “such a negative memory” has turned into a “really beautiful and cool” way to honor her brother’s life. “It’s really meant so much,” she added.

“We’re going to go back to New Orleans and leave on a positive note from that city, given that Tiger’s from there and that I promised him I was going bring him down to the Super Bowl,” Quigley told College Sports Only after the visit to the Eagles facility.
According to CBS, Graham said it “means a lot” that Quigley will return to New Orleans to support the Eagles in the Super Bowl.
“I know he said in his mind he didn’t want to go back to New Orleans because of what happened … And I know for me, I wanted to change that for him to conquer his fears.”
The Eagles will face the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2025 Super Bowl on Feb. 9, in a rematch of the 2023 game.
Quigley and Bech were on Bourbon Street on Jan. 1 when a pickup truck plowed through the streets, killing 14 people and injuring many more.
The Philadelphia Eagles have made a heartwarming gesture by gifting Super Bowl tickets to a survivor of a recent attack in New Orleans. The recipient, who wishes to remain anonymous, was a victim of a violent assault that left them hospitalized and facing a long road to recovery.In a statement released by the Eagles organization, they expressed their sympathy for the survivor and their family, and their desire to bring some joy and positivity into their lives during this difficult time. The team hopes that attending the Super Bowl will provide a much-needed distraction and opportunity for the survivor to create new, positive memories.
This act of kindness and generosity is a reminder of the power of sports to bring people together and uplift those in need. The Eagles’ gesture is a shining example of compassion and support, and we applaud them for their thoughtfulness. Let’s hope that this gift brings some comfort and joy to the survivor as they continue on their journey to recovery.

#Philadelphia #Eagles #send #terror #attack #victim #Super #BowlEagles invite survivor of Bourbon Street attack back to New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX: ‘Not letting evil win’
Former Princeton football player Ryan Quigley was seriously injured and lost his best friend and fellow teammate, Tiger Bech, in the violent terrorist attack in New Orleans on January 1. But Quigley will have the opportunity to write that tragic story when he returns next weekend as an honorary guest of the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Eagles invited Quigley and Bech’s sister to attend their divisional round game against the Los Angeles Rams last month, but this week they invited him to their training facility with the intention of surprising him with Super Bowl LIX tickets.

“We want to tell you the real reason we brought you here,” Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham said in a video shared by the team. “It’s okay if you’re not feeling it, but we would love to have you down for the Super Bowl.”
This year’s Super Bowl will be hosted by the city of New Orleans. It will take place just a little over a month after the attack. Quigley will return to the city, something he vowed never to do again.
“New Year’s Eve was my first time in New Orleans ever, it was my first night, and I told myself it was going to be the last,” he told the team’s website. “But then I thought about it, because all year I’ve been telling Tiger if the Eagles make the Super Bowl this year, I promised him I was going to take him, and he’s from Louisiana.”

“I think, not letting evil win and evil will not prevail. I think we’re going to go back to New Orleans and leave on a positive note from that city, given that Tiger’s from there and that I promised him I was going bring him down to the Super Bowl. I’m looking forward to it for sure.”
Quigley, 26, suffered broken bones in his leg, back and face and underwent surgery and several days in the hospital to recover from a horrific terror attack on Bourbon Street that killed 14 people and injured dozens more.

He hopes that his presence will allow him to share Bech’s story, something he plans to continue doing no, matter where he goes.
“Everything that the Eagles have done from being around the facilities today and the Divisional Round, to helping us share his story, there’s no words to describe it. We’re forever grateful to have the opportunity to tell the rest of the world how special Tiger was.”
“Everyone that I meet moving forward, I want to introduce Tiger as well, because of how special he was and how much character he had,” he added.

#Taylor #Swift #breaks #major #record #Blake #LivelyJustin #Baldoni #drama #days #Super #Bowl #LIXSydney Sweeney Joins Meg Ryan And Billy Crystal In Leaked Super Bowl Ad
Thirty-six years after “When Harry Met Sally…” delivered one of the most iconic lines in movie history, Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan have reunited to recreate the moment for a Super Bowl ad.
The 60-second commercial for Hellmann’s mayonnaise, which debuted online ahead of Super Bowl 59, brings the beloved actors back to Katz’s Deli, the very location where their legendary scene was filmed.
Sitting at what appears to be the same table from the 1989 rom-com, Meg Ryan’s Sally Albright once again steals the show, but this time, over a sandwich loaded with Hellmann’s mayo that even grabs Sydney Sweeney’s attention.
‘I’ll Have What She’s Having’
Hellmann’s/MEGA
The ad kicks off with Crystal’s Harry Burns looking around the deli and joking, “I can’t believe they let us back in this place.”
Meanwhile, Ryan’s Sally takes a bite of her turkey sandwich but appears unsatisfied with the flavor. To fix that, she adds a little Hellmann’s mayo, taking another bite and suddenly, everything changes.
Much like the legendary fake orgasm scene from “When Harry Met Sally…,” Ryan begins moaning, throwing her head back, and banging on the table, mimicking her iconic performance from 1989. As everyone in the deli turns to stare, Crystal quips with a smirk, “This one’s real.”
After coming down from her sandwich-induced bliss, Ryan declares, “Now that is a sandwich.”
Sydney Sweeney Joins the Fun
Hellmann’s/MEGA
Just as in the original film, the moment wouldn’t be complete without someone else taking notice. In this version, the waiter turns to none other than Sydney Sweeney, who appears to be witnessing the whole thing unfold.
“I’ll have what she’s having,” Sweeney said.
While the full extent of Sweeney’s role in the ad hasn’t been revealed, her involvement adds another layer of star power to what is already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about commercials of Super Bowl 59.
How Do Fans Feel?
Since the ad was released on social media, fans of “When Harry Met Sally…” have been weighing in, with reactions ranging from nostalgic excitement to disappointment.
Some viewers were delighted by the reunion, calling it a heartwarming throwback.
“I literally gasped. This made my heart happy,” one Instagram user commented on Hellmann’s Instagram post featuring the ad.
“Cannot tell you how happy Hellmann’s made me today. Absolutely the best,” another Instagram user said, who later added, “I can’t stop watching this.”
Social Media Reacts To Sydney Sweeney’s Appearance
However, not everyone was thrilled with the commercial.
On X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, someone expressed disappointment, criticizing Sydney Sweeney’s delivery of the famous line and questioning why every reunion has to be for a commercial:
“1. I miss when Super Bowl commercials air on the Super Bowl
2. Sydney Sweeney does not do that line justice
3. Why is every reunion now a commercial (scrubs, the office, when ‘Harry met Sally,’ ‘Modern Family,’ etc.)”Others pointed out a trend of nostalgic reunions being used as marketing gimmicks, referencing past Super Bowl ads such as Zach Braff and Donald Faison’s recurring T-Mobile commercials and Mike Myers and Dana Carvey’s 2021 Uber Eats ad honoring “Wayne’s World.”
Someone else shared their thoughts on X, writing, “This scene in ‘When Harry Met Sally…’ is iconic, but the Super Bowl ad spoofy doesn’t hit like I wanted it to.”
Super Bowl Meets Rom-Com Nostalgia
Hellmann’s/MEGA
With Super Bowl ads often featuring big-name stars and nostalgic throwbacks, Hellmann’s has delivered a winning combination by bringing Crystal and Ryan back together. The commercial celebrates a beloved moment in film history while adding a humorous modern twist, making it a must-watch for romantic comedy fans and football viewers alike.
Whether or not mayonnaise can truly inspire that much passion is up for debate, but one thing is certain: this Super Bowl ad is a treat for movie lovers who still swoon over Harry and Sally’s timeless love story.
Last year’s Super Bowl drew an audience of approximately 123.7 million viewers, and with the Kansas City Chiefs set to face off against the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, February 9, viewership is expected to remain just as high.
In an unexpected turn of events, rising star Sydney Sweeney has been revealed to join iconic duo Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal in a leaked Super Bowl ad. The ad, which has been kept tightly under wraps, has caused quite a stir among fans as they eagerly await the big game to see what this star-studded trio has in store.Sweeney, known for her roles in hit shows like “Euphoria” and “The White Lotus,” is sure to bring a fresh and dynamic energy to the ad, alongside the seasoned talents of Ryan and Crystal. With all three actors known for their impeccable comedic timing and on-screen charisma, this ad is sure to be a standout moment during the Super Bowl commercial breaks.
While details about the ad’s storyline and brand have yet to be officially confirmed, the leaked footage has already sparked excitement and speculation among viewers. With such a powerhouse ensemble, this ad is shaping up to be one of the most highly anticipated commercials of the year.

Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan’s reunion has been revealed and it’s… a Super Bowl commercial!
In the new ad released Wednesday for Hellmann’s mayonnaise, the “When Harry Met Sally” co-stars are right back where it all started, sitting in New York City’s famous Katz’s Delicatessen, where one of the most iconic scenes from the 1989 film took place.

As Ryan and Crystal dig into their sandwiches, Ryan expresses displeasure but after she adds mayonnaise to her sandwich, she immediately begins to really enjoy the sandwich, channeling her famous excited reaction from the original film, 35 years later.
“Here we go,” responds Crystal in annoyance.
As Ryan continues, banging her hands on the table and rolling her head back, Crystal chimes in, “this one’s real.”
“Lunch and a show,” he says, addressing onlookers.

A surprise twist at the end reveals Sydney Sweeney sitting nearby who delivers the now-iconic punchline, “I’ll have what she’s having” — which was originally delivered by “When Harry Met Sally” director Rob Reiner’s mother Estelle Reiner.
The 30 second spot will air in the second quarter of the Super Bowl on Feb. 9, while a longer 60 second version will debut on social media.
The stars previously teased the reunion in an Instagram post last week.
“The opportunity to return to Katz’s Deli with Meg was a no brainer,” Crystal said in a statement introducing the advertisement.
“Thanks to Hellmann’s, who came up with the concept and wrote a really funny spot, we’re bringing some laughs and nostalgia and helping When Harry Met Sally celebrate its 35th Anniversary during the Big Game this year,” Crystal continued.
Ryan added in a statement, “Reuniting with Billy and stepping back into Sally’s shoes was a joy.”
Hellmann’s tapped renowned director Jake Szymanski, an alum of comedic powerhouses like “Saturday Night Live” and Funny or Die, to oversee the new spot.
In a preview event at Katz’s on Tuesday night, Szymanski said the brand “had all the right pieces in place” with Ryan, Crystal and Katz’s all signed on to create the commercial, revealing that this “was the first time either of them had been back at Katz’s since they shot the scene.”
“Obviously I’m a huge fan of the movie — the biggest thing for me when you have celebrities like this and doing something iconic, is you want to try to make something that feels like only they could have done it,” he said. “When you have good performers let them perform in a way that feels special — obviously you have to do it with Billy and Meg.”
Szymanski noted that “it’s also a commercial that I feel like integrated Hellmann’s really well, it’s not forcing itself somewhere it shouldn’t.”

Get tips for optimal Super Bowl TV settings
Some people tune into the Super Bowl for the game, while others are in it for the commercials or halftime show. But regardless, you want to make sure that the picture quality on your TV is good.Making a few tweaks to your TV’s picture settings in time for the Super Bowl on Feb. 9 can be a real game changer.”Having the right settings can make the difference between making it seem like you’re watching a cartoon versus watching real life,” said Matt Ferretti, of Consumer Reports.The first recommendation is to trade your TV’s preset sports mode for one that can actually help you score better picture quality.>> Download the free WMUR app to get updates on the go: Apple | Google Play <<“We typically recommend filmmaker mode. It’ll get you closest to the settings that we use,” Ferretti said. “If your TV doesn’t have filmmaker mode, you can try movie mode, custom mode, natural, or one of the expert modes.”Ferretti suggests using a dark scene to adjust the brightness or black level.”The way this TV is set up currently, it’s too dark, so you can’t see some of the details in the background,” Ferretti said, using a TV to demonstrate. “But as I raise the black level, you’ll see details like this cloth and this cloth overhead kind of emerging from the darkness. If I raise it all the way, it gets hazy, which means I’ve set it too bright. So, what you want to do is lower it to the point that the TV is as dark as it can be without losing any of these details in the background.”For setting the contrast or white level, a bright scene is necessary.”Where this TV is set up now, the contrast is actually set too high, so you can’t see any detail,” Ferretti said. “As I lower it, you’ll start to see the clouds and the ice ridges on the mountain appearing. But if I keep going, the image gets too dark. So, you want to raise the contrast until the image is bright, but you’re not losing any of the detail in the background.”Ferretti also advises choosing a “warm” or “low” color temperature so the yard lines look white and not blue, and adjusting the tint to the middle of the range so the players’ flesh tones look natural.Most TVs have a reset option to get you back to the factory settings if needed, ensuring you can still be the MVP of game day.Consumer Reports suggests using both black and white level test patterns from YouTube to save time when adjusting settings. CR members can also use the exclusive TV Screen Optimizer, which offers expert settings for TVs dating back to 2013.

“The way this TV is set up currently, it’s too dark, so you can’t see some of the details in the background,” Ferretti said, using a TV to demonstrate. “But as I raise the black level, you’ll see details like this cloth and this cloth overhead kind of emerging from the darkness. If I raise it all the way, it gets hazy, which means I’ve set it too bright. So, what you want to do is lower it to the point that the TV is as dark as it can be without losing any of these details in the background.”
For setting the contrast or white level, a bright scene is necessary.
“Where this TV is set up now, the contrast is actually set too high, so you can’t see any detail,” Ferretti said. “As I lower it, you’ll start to see the clouds and the ice ridges on the mountain appearing. But if I keep going, the image gets too dark. So, you want to raise the contrast until the image is bright, but you’re not losing any of the detail in the background.”
Ferretti also advises choosing a “warm” or “low” color temperature so the yard lines look white and not blue, and adjusting the tint to the middle of the range so the players’ flesh tones look natural.
Most TVs have a reset option to get you back to the factory settings if needed, ensuring you can still be the MVP of game day.
Consumer Reports suggests using both black and white level test patterns from YouTube to save time when adjusting settings. CR members can also use the exclusive TV Screen Optimizer, which offers expert settings for TVs dating back to 2013.
