C.J. Gardner-Johnson had little interest in taking high roads following the Eagles' Super Bowl win ... he danced all over his haters' graves Sunday night in a chat with TMZ Sports -- and Philadelphia fans will no doubt love it.

We caught up with the safety in New Orleans just after he and the Birds crushed the Chiefs, 40-22, and he took more than a few seconds to gloat about the big victory.

CJGJ proclaimed Philly "put belt to ass" on Kansas City ... before he fired off a message to his detractors who he believed shaded him earlier in the season.

Michael Blackson is throwing serious salt in the argument only white people couldn't vibe with Kendrick Lamar's artistic Super Bowl halftime show ... the comedian witnessed it live from Caesars Superdome, and he was less than impressed.

TMZ was on site and got Mike's honest and raw take on K. Dot's big show ... he's under the impression it was probably better on TV.

Kendrick was praised by some viewers for his pro-Black dance troupes that also sniped Drake with subtle shots ahead of the grand finale.

Eagles fans lived up to their reputation Sunday night after the 40-22 Super Bowl drubbing of the Chiefs ... flooding the streets of Philly, and burning a Kermit the Frog stuffed animal, in a night filled with mayhem!

A video posted to X captured the not-so-Brotherly moment ... as fans, trolling Patrick Mahomes -- who threw 2 picks and badly struggled for most of the game -- lit fire to the Kermit doll.

As the beloved puppet burned, fans chanted, "F*** the Chiefs" ... celebrating the Birds' second Super Bowl win.

Drake's Down Under on tour, and he was onstage venting about his exes -- just hours before two of them, Serena Williams and SZA, hit the Super Bowl stage with his sworn enemy, Kendrick Lamar.

Drake got spicy onstage, shading past flames who "play you in your f***ing life" ... and telling fans, "If you're doing better than your ex, turn up to this song!" -- before launching into "You Broke My Heart." He was performing a stop for his "Anita Max Win" tour at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia ahead of the Super Bowl kickoff in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Looks like Drake’s exes weren’t exactly crying over him -- they were too busy living it up at Caesars Superdome Sunday, with Serena, who he had a thing with from 2011 to 2015, making a dance cameo to "Not Like Us," the super popular track dissing Drizzy.

Kendrick Lamar is receiving mixed reactions following his NFL Super Bowl LIX halftime performance ... even after he included his extremely popular Drake diss track "Not Like Us" in the lineup.

In addition to the hit song -- which won him five Grammys last week -- he performed other crowd-pleasers, including "gnx," "peekaboo" and "HUMBLE." He also brought out SZA for their hits "All the Stars" and "Luther," and even had Serena Williams -- who once dated Drake -- crip-walking to "Not Like Us." Samuel L. Jackson opened up the performance dressed as Uncle Sam to preside over the show.

But not all viewers were pleased. Many fans slammed the show as "boring," with some even claiming they switched channels to pass the time.

Michael Blackson's plans for this week completely changed in wake of the Eagles' Super Bowl win -- the diehard Philadelphia supporter says he's now on his way to the City of Brotherly Love to throw a wild championship party ... though it seems many Birds backers are already way ahead of him.

TMZ Sports caught up with the comedian out in New Orleans shortly after the Eagles wiped the floor of the Superdome with the Chiefs, 40-22 ... and he said he's already switched his flight from L.A. to Philly so he can properly celebrate the team's second-ever Lombardi Trophy.

Blackson promised to hit the streets hard with his fellow Philadelphia fans ... guaranteeing they were "going to tear the city apart."

Saquon Barkley was partyin' like he was back at Penn State Sunday night ... the Eagles star was shotgunnin' beers after securing his first Super Bowl win with Philly!

And, it was his 28th birthday!!!

The celebration was after the Eagles whooped the 2x defending champ Kansas City Chiefs, 40-22, in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.

It's the second championship for the franchise and a first for many Eagles players, including Barkley, who signed with the team this offseason.

Patrick Mahomes is well aware his performance did not meet expectations in the Super Bowl ... addressing Chiefs Kingdom and vowing to work hard to get back to the Big Game after losing to the Eagles.

The 29-year-old took to his X account Sunday night following the Eagles' 40-22 dismantling of the Chiefs ... with Mahomes taking time to thank fans for their support all season long.

"I let y’all down today," the three-time Super Bowl MVP said. "I'll always continue to work and try and learn and be better for it."

Eagles fans went totally bananas in the streets of Philadelphia Sunday night to celebrate their team's Super Bowl victory -- while also breaking many laws!

Hundreds of diehard Eagles supporters descended on the city of Brotherly Love after Philly handily beat the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 during the 2025 Super Bowl at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.

But much of the joy and happiness was mixed with criminal activity, which comes as no surprise when talking about Philly fans.

The Philadelphia Eagles walloped the Kansas City Chiefs to take home the coveted Vince Lombardi Trophy at Super Bowl LIX -- and the stars turned out to celebrate.

A-listers rushed the field -- and social media -- after the big victory ... from Miles Teller to Kevin Hart and Bradley Cooper.

BC caught up with Fox Sports on the field at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans and expressed how grateful he was to bring his daughter, Lea, to the big game, after he grew up attending games with his father. He gushed ... "I am so blessed to be here and I love this team so much.”

If Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson are indeed engaged, they sure don't want the world to know it -- declining to confirm or deny the rumors after Sunday's Super Bowl.

The couple was spotted leaving the Superdome following Philadelphia's big 40-22 win over Kansas City ... and when they were peppered with questions and comments about Belichick's recent rumored proposal, they stayed mum.

Neither commented on the matter ... this despite Hudson wearing a huge ring on that finger throughout her Super Bowl week down in New Orleans.

Cash Warren who?? Jessica Alba had herself a GNO with her daughters at Super Bowl LIX ... just days after filing for divorce from her hubby of 16 years.

The Honest Company founder headed to the Big Easy with her and Cash's two daughters -- Honor, 16, and Haven, 13 -- for the big game, and took fans along on her Instagram Story Sunday night.

JA dubbed it a "Girls Weekend" while posting a selfie of herself with her two teens from before the big game ... sharing another with her kiddos in their VIP suite from Caesars Superdome in New Orleans later in the evening.

Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs getting wrecked in the Super Bowl put a smile on his ex-girlfriend's face ... with Kayla Nicole basking in the Philadelphia Eagles' glory after the lopsided win.

The influencer and model was smack dab in the middle of the crazed Birds fans at the Superdome on Sunday ... and at one point in the contest, she joined the Philly supporters in their "Fly Eagles Fly" fight song.

The Eagles ultimately gave the Chiefs an epic ass-whooping ... and once the scoreboard hit zeroes, it was time to party.

President Donald Trump took a major shot at Taylor Swift for getting booed during the Kansas City Chiefs' big loss to the Philadelphia Eagles at the Super Bowl.

The 47th prez hopped on his "Truth Social" platform last evening -- and he had some choice words for Taylor after the Eagles trounced the Chiefs 40-22. Taylor was there to root for her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

Trump wrote, "The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!"

The Super Bowl kicked off with a powerful message of unity ... honoring the victims of the New Orleans terror attack and other tragedies that have shaken the U.S. in last couple months.

Eagles and Chiefs players were on the field just moments before kickoff when New Orleans Saints star Cam Jordan brought out NOLA first responders from the terror attack to thank and honor them for their service.

The powerful tribute continued by honoring other tragedies that have shaken the nation including tributes to victims of the Washington D.C. plane and military helicopter crash, the Philadelphia plane crash, Hurricane Helene, and the devastating California wildfires.

During the tribute, Cam said, "Together we rise, together we heal, and together we will carry their memory with us forever."

While Bourbon Street was buzzing with Super Bowl revelers on Sunday, it was a different scene on New Year's Day -- when a horrific tragedy struck, leaving 14 dead after a pickup truck plowed into a crowd.

Weeks later, in Philadelphia, a plane and jetliner crash claimed seven lives in D.C. -- 64 people on board the plane and 3 people on an Army chopper lost thier lives.

Kendrick Lamar gave Drake a break during the Super Bowl Halftime show by rapping "Not Like Us" ... but the 'pedophile' line was nowhere to be heard, and Kendrick made it clear -- it was just too risky.

The rapper took over the Caesars Superdome — and everyone was waiting with baited breath as he performed. What's interesting is right before KL started rapping the song he said ... "I want to perform their favorite song, but you know they love to sue."

As you know, "Not Like Us" is the subject of a defamation lawsuit Drake filed against Universal Music Group ... so it wouldn't be out of the question Drizzy would double down by filing a second suit.

Kenrick did perform "Not Like Us" ... but skipped over the "certified pedophile" line. He did rap the word "minor," but that was it.

As we reported ... the NFL and FOX execs got Kendrick's set list last week and hashed it out. Now we know the outcome.

Kendrick snagged all 5 Grammy noms, snagging song and record of the year, plus trophies for best rap song, rap performance, and best music video.

Drake's currently out of the country on tour in Australia. It'd be interesting to know if he watched.
