Halftime was… nice I guess?
I am not a fan of that genre but even I knew some songs and the show was good. I mean: those guys and gals can dance. Even while roller skating apparently. I felt reasonably entertained.
But now I am looking forward to the second half. A lot of nice defense in the first, maybe some offense now in the second.
Oh come on! It is half past four in the night here and the SB goes into overtime.
Please, score a TD. Anyone. I am tired.
Don’t forget new OT rules, both teams get a possession. So no guarantee this is going be quick.
Oh, right! Gah…
Man that would have to be one of the most nail biting games I have seen… let alone a Superbowl!
Congrats Chiefs, but my vote for MVP is McCaffrey.
And it is over.
Congrats Chiefs!
Good game by both teams though. Looking forward to seeing more of Mr. Purdy as well, in the future.
And with that the season ends, thanks for participating in the thread, I really enjoy talking about football with y’all!
McCaffrey (almost wrote McCafé there) had one hell of a game!
McCaffery is an amazing player.
Andy Reid won Yesss!
One extra point away from a a superbowl ring. Kudos to Patrick Mahomes he carried the chiefs down the stretch and won it in overtime.
The sudden death first who scores wins overtime rules were better. Was not a fan when they changed the rules and even less so now.
Actually not a fan is too mild. Despised, detested , abhorred, loathed combined still comes up shy but we’re getting closer…

Sooo… here we go again!
Once more this fan is hoping for a good Cowboys season. Not thrilled by what I have seen so far but we will see.
Right now I am watching Cowboys @ Browns and there was the first TD just a few seconds ago.
What about your teams?
Any cool or horrible things that happened during the off-season?
So far not good. Go to Brazil for some reason and lose our QB for 3 to 6 weeks.
Didnt have high hopes for this season since we changed defensive styles
Same eagles defense as last year,
Zero secondary and the one safety literally tried to do madden dive tackles every other player, and most of them ended up being 6 pts.
Dallas looks OK so far, but we all know that the opponent is the Browns and this is week 1. No reason to get excited yet.
Meanwhile: Tom Brady is now a commentator for Fox.
So far he doesn’t make too good of an impression, he is a bit quiet and what he says is a bit of a Captain Obvious impression. But hey, it is his first day on the job. Romo grew into it quite well, we’ll see if the GOAT can match him.
In other news: As an Oasis fan I was excited to hear “F***ing in the Bushes” getting played there for a few moments.
Oh, and Kendrick Lamar will apparently do the Halftime show at the Super Bowl. That’s probably quite exciting for many people!
Watching Dak jump with excitement for a field goal, after the highest paid NFL player in history (IE him) couldn’t get a touchdown was amusing. We play tomorrow night (and I’m not wearing green, so that should clarify who my team is), and hopefully the hold-in’s/out’s won’t have lost too much of a step like Bosa did last year. We can’t afford to spend 1/3 of the season letting them get back to form.
People hate on Romo (I guess)…but I think he is hilarious. And I’m an Eagles fan…so I absolutely hated him when he was on the field playing against us…but in the press box he is great.
In other news…man I’m glad I’m not a Carolina fan.
Romo is not only pretty funny, he has the uncanny ability to see things happening quickly enough (good QBs can do that, the second part is the cool one) AND the skill to form (half-) sentences quickly enough that he has the time to start commenting before things happen on the screen. And not only generic stuff like “they are showing blitz” but “look at 23, that one is going right”.
That is incredibly rare even among good commentators.
Brady warmed up a bit in the second half and said some more interesting things. I am almost sure that he will be fine. He definitely brings the knowledge.
Agreed, he occasionally fired some great tidbits, but it took him a while to get going. I don’t blame him, it’s not natural for most of us to sit and comment on everything we’re seeing in front of us for 3 hours.
I’ve been saying it since I started researching him after he bought the team from the Richardson family, but we have the worst owner in the league, bar none. And he’s trying to pull a “Producers” on the Panthers to move them somewhere else, long-term.
And don’t even get me started on the $600 million stadium upgrade bill he just forced the city to pay for him; things like this make me all the more glad I’m not living in Charlotte.
2 years ago, I’d have disagreed.
But, with Snyder gone? I think you’re 100% on the money. Tepper is a menace and this kind of behavior should not be allowed in the league in light of cities willing to spend so much on hosting them.
I could be biased, I’m a Packers fan and we don’t have a disgustingly wealthy A-hole solo at the helm.
But, salve that wound, you’re not alone in your distaste!:
