Super Bowl LVII

[Johnnie]

The Teens watching this at my house (in addition to the teens I’m legally responsible for) insist she’s pregnant

That's what I said, but I think she just had a kid.

Overall weird halftime show. The ending was good, but the backup dancers and their weird gyrations reminded me of the episode of South Park with the non denominational Christmas play.

[rass]

Burkhardt expelling a lot of good will there

[The Sybian]

I had never heard a Rihanna song before today

(Obviously with the benefit of hindsight but that I knew was her)

What?!?! I’m clueless and I knew almost every single song they played.

I thought she looked pregnant. My daughter has a friend over, they ran in asking if she is pregnant. And was that supposed to be Squid Games themed show?

[Johnnie]

Am I nuts or did he pin that ball against his helmet and maintain possession all the way through?

[EdRomero]

This is the last game ever the Hurts Push will be allowed; might as well use it.

Why won't it be allowed?

[Johnnie]

QR codes are having a day today.

9 months ago with A$AP Rocky. I thought the same thing which escalated to my kids comparing me to Andrew Tate so I really hope she's pregnant now.

Bro, what?

[rass]

Fuck you amazon that was a manipulative roller coaster

[L-Jam3]

Aw fuck

[Johnnie]

What did they inject into Mahomes's and at halftime? Sheesh!

[brian]

This would be a good problem to have but this game drives home there’s no way I’m watching a Lions SB game in public.

[rass]

Misandry!

[Johnnie]

Yup. This game is nuts.

[brian]

I think Hurts is generally overrated and welcome his coming megacontract. That said, he’s balling the fuck out today.

[rass]

Wait are they really doing a Vegas only Achtung Baby thing?

[L-Jam3]

Let ‘em score.

[L-Jam3]

Ugh. That was tough.

[Johnnie]

Defensive holding was bullshit, but I have the 8/5 square so, ok.

Excellent heads up play to not score on this drive.

[EdRomero]

That call just ruined a great game. Chiefs did such a great job adjusting and figuring out how to beat the Eagles defense, but that call was just ridicuous.

[L-Jam3]

Congrats Bronto. That’s three straight Ls for me in the finals. So I guess that means the 76ers and/or Arsenal are going to come up just short AGAIN.

[rass]

Had chefs 8 eagles 2 in one of those progressive payout pools that started at 5K so was really rooting for a KC FG there so yeah that call sucked

[mister d]

Jesus fucking Christ. When I finally root for them again they still make it bad.

[Sabo]

We’ll always have the Halladay perfect game, L-Jam.

[L-Jam3]

Coaches going against their former teams are now 3-2.

[teeteebee]

Flag was hot garbage but 35 points should have been enough.

Brutal!!

[L-Jam3]

What did they shoot Mahomes up with during halftime? Horse tranquilizer?

[Johnnie]

I forewent making steak sandwiches at my party, but I made KC ribs and they're delicious.

I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious about this.

I'm the reason the Eagles lost.

[EdRomero]

Without Larry Mullen Jr

[Brontoburglar]

1. thank you

2. the call was right? it wasn't egregious ... but it was across the line, even if it was just slight. the main hold came before the top of the break.

[Brontoburglar]

also, am I the only one who thought Burkhardt had a really rough game? bad spots and even mixed up the Eagles and Chiefs with 2 min to go

[Brontoburglar]

also no. 2: the field at that stadium is miserable. both Butker and McDuffie got hurt in Week 1 because they slipped on the field and it was horrible for the TCU-Michigan game. Whatever they did to try to make it better for the Super Bowl didn't work and the NFL is lucky that no one got seriously hurt from slipping on that field

[brian]

The idea that officials should swallow their whistles in the last two minutes of a football game (or last five minutes of a hockey game) or whatever is such obvious bullshit. A ball is a ball on the first pitch of the game or 3-2 with the bases loaded. Fuck that shit.

[tennbengal]

But they let physical stuff go all game. They swallowed whistles until that moment.

Also, Rihanna’s reps confirmed she is pregnant.

I agree with that, but what if they were swallowing the whistle on those types of plays in the secondary throughout the game? For the last two Super Bowls, it seemed a ref decided to start using his whistle at the end of the game.

[Reaper]

It's a shame the game ended on that kind of call, especially with which one threw the flag, but it's really not why the Eagles lost. The Chiefs made the halftime adjustments and the Eagles didn't. For a team that had 78 sacks (including postseason) to never get even come close to getting Mahomes on the ground is just mind boggling. And I don't think I've ever seen two touchdowns scored on such wide open receivers.

[tennbengal]

What the fuck. This is weird

I absolutely agree they should be consistent so that’s a fair point. I don’t think the call in question was ticky-tack relative to the rest of the game.

Whatever Reid did to figure out how to get those receivers open in the red zone was brilliant. As for the Eagles pass rush, the KC running game helped a lot and it was more of Reid's good playcalls. Wonder if the bad turf was a factor for pass rushers too.

Oh, good. I'm not Andrew Tate.
