    I told everyone at the Superbowl party we were at that the key to the game would be if the Eagles defensive line could get to Mahomes. They couldn't, not one sack which surprised me. That's the only way to beat him.

    It looks like Shak stopped at Walmart on his way to the game & bought them all their uniforms. They were horrible. LOL!

    Maan, you guys better stop clowning RiRi LOL! So many viral memes....and all on the internet asking if she is pregnant. Pretty brave stuff, especially given the confirmation.

    What, you guys don't like RiRi? :D HaHa! Rather one liked it or not it was a pretty big deal.

    1) Apple Music's first sponsored show
    2) Rihanna sang 12 songs in 13-14 minutes
    2) Announced her pregnancy
    3) Promoted her Fenty product line.
    4) 800 paid production, support, dancers, band, etc. crew were involved
    5) The floating platforms were a first and some called it the most technically advanced Super Bowl halftime show ever. The way the set was designed (light weight transport carts with special turf tires, floating platforms stored in the rafters, etc.) it created less of an impact and damage to the turf. This may be the way of the future and a requirement by the NFL in stadiums with living turf. As we all saw, the playing field was not very durable.

    It goes without saying that not everyone is going to like every show.

    I'm just wandering the Phoenix area bio-hazard labs have gotten their suits back yet....

    Amazed that neither D got a sack. I was sure that'd be what determined the outcome. And I had confidence the Chiefs would get there and the Eagles year suggested they would too. The turn around of the Chefs O-line from the beatdown last (SB) time to this time was remarkable.

    Badly twisted an ankle a few years ago and the recovery time was not quick! In the two weeks time I could hardly make my way up and down steps at home. It was still all kinds of bright colors and very swollen for longer than that. Can't image running, twisting like that. Amazing!

    Go Chefs!

    A so called science type proudly says... "I do realize that I would fool myself all the time, about listening conclusions and many other observations, if I did listen before buying. That’s why I don’t, I bought all of my current gear based on technical parameters alone, such as specs and measurements."

    Oh we can joke about the designer bubble suits all were wearing. However, I don't dislike Rihanna like some here, not that she's a favorite or anything. I like some of her songs.

    Anyway, I don't always despise halftimes and I appreciate the production and the fact that these artists do the halftime for free. They have to make it count for something and she did that. Maybe, its my music background and the fact that I've played in several regular and bowl game halftimes, with the Rose Bowl being the largest. I don't know?

    I hope they fire Mike, they were out coached and out played on both sides of the ball. Terrible game plan by the coaches.

    They wouldn't have beat the 49ers anyway this year.

    I had my picture taken with Chuck Howley when I was just a little boy....been a cowboys fan since....not an easy task when the cowboys are the most hated team in America and they continue to suck the splinters out of the fence post year after year.....but, I continue to wear my Bullet Bob Hayes #22, Roger Staubach #12 and Tony Dorsett #33 jerseys in hopes of a long awaited miracle.

    I feel your pain...

    In the Cowboys defense they typically have some really good teams in the regular season. Although this isn't worth a hill of beans when it comes to bringing a trophy to town. Frustrating none the less.

    This thread is probably only meant for teams in the playoff hunt, but let me say that my TN Titans have really screwed the pooch by firing Mike Vrabel, and letting Derrick Henry walk.

    That’s the problem with sports in general. Over the past 10 or so years, every sport - football, basketball, nascar, ufc, etcetera - have become unwatchable because the players have become overpaid d-bags have have nothing but contempt for their fans. I read a story a year or so back that MLB players were charging 10 year old kids $60 for an autograph(!), and THEN not claiming the income on their taxes…

    Absolutely!! And really gets me is the behavior of the NFL players on the field when they: recover a fumble, intercept a pass, score a TD, etc etc and they take up time acting like nonprofessionals.

    Take a look back at Barry Sanders, dude was beyond amazing, unmatched in ability IMO and he was way humble. Each time he scored, he handed the ball to the ref and headed for the bench, no antics, no BS, just raw professionalism. And that's what this sport lacks...big time.

    I gave up on the NFL. Never thought I would. I grew up with Lombardi and Bart Starr. Role models with integrity that a kid could look up to. Fug it. I now see it for what it is. Greed and self-centered BS. Look at Aaron Rodgers. Now the NFL is buying ESPN and also promoting sports gambling. Wot a joke. Fug it.
