Concerning Super Bowl

What if your theory on storylines is true?

 

A Pats/Rams SB would be a fitting end to Bradys' career.

 

Brady started his career with a SB win against the Rams - aka "the greatest show on turf".  What if he capped his career with a SB win against a Rams team with McVay the prodigy HC and arguably the most talented team in the NFL?

 

Shoulda kept my big stupid mouth shut...

Haha...I mean seriously. I hate him with all my heart, but I could totally see this story book angle. As if he hasn't won enough at the game of life??... Lol

I’m not sure they would allow those to be broadcasted.

 

I think it should be a good one.  At least I can root for the Rams.

Refusing to watch the most successful NFL franchise in history is the world's largest crying towel. I'll pull for Reid's team but in view of the playoff games so far thinking this game will be close is not a lock. Could be the last team to possess the ball will win it or it could be the Chiefs go home again with empty pockets. 

I guess I called it again.

I'll be watching the Superbowl. I have to get my football fix, no matter what. I don't care about the pregame ceremonies, just the game.

 

I don't like the Patriots, but I can't feel too upset about Kansas City, considering what they did to the Colts last week. (Or the Colts did to themselves.) If that's kind of petty or childish, so be it.  I would like the Rams to beat NE, though. 

[Gramz]

Suddenly, the Pro Bowl is much more appealing to watch.

I just may go to a movie, or schedule band rehearsal, maybe I'll clean toilets,  . Anything but watch the game.

 

Enjoy it while you can.

I'm not happy the Pats are going to yet another SB, but goldang, I have a ton of respect for what the Pats did to the Chiefs in Arrowhead last night.  Belichick can beat anyone anywhere anyway.  It's not fair! 

 

I've got my hater-pants on, and I didn't put them on one leg at a time.  I jumped into 'em both feet first before going to bed last night.

It is to each their own.

 

I remember Peyton's final year as a Bronco, beating the Pats, and advancing to the Super Bowl.  Several Pats fans noted they would NOT be tuning into the game that year.

 

It is what it is.  You can't expect other teams fans to be as excited, or even interested as you are.

I visited the Pats website quite a bit when Denver made the SB and they were salty when Peyton won his 2nd SB. Their times of saying Peyton is a choker went out the window. Once you win that 2nd ring nobody can claim any player as a choker. Peyton winning with 2 different teams was what really bothered them because he did something Tom will never do. They were so hoping Brock Osweiler would play  but didn't happen. That 2nd ring was huge. I realize Tom is about to get #6 but Peyton won with 2 different teams which cements him as a Top 3 QB ever and he has still has 5 MVPs to Tommy's 3.

The Pats have not blown up the scoreboard against Wade Philips defenses. But the Pats will win.

. I have never understood why anyone goes to another teams board to celebrate their defeat. 

 

If you're a regular member there and regularly engage in friendly Bantor that's one thing, but to go simply to see how much they're in misery, I've never got.

 

Btw..the only other  board I've been a part of was the Broncos during the 4 Peyton years.  When I  was referring to Pats fans earlier, it was Pats fans on our board saying they were skipping Peyton's SB.

I watched the sport as a kid, teenager, and young adult when the Patriots were terrible. To me, the game itself is the fun part. When your team does well that makes it better for sure. But yes, if I'm being honest, I don't get how someone would follow an NFL season, over the course of months and months, just to tune out at the end because they don't like one of the teams that's in it. 

 

All these people claiming they won't watch will have plenty to say on February 4th if the Patriots lose, I can almost guarantee you that!

I don't think any "real" fans were saying that about Manning after the 2006 AFCCG. To me, he shed that label in the comeback win that year. Whether it was the Patriots or the Colts playing Chicago, the real Super Bowl that year was the AFC title game, IMO.

I don't post as much as I used to, but I've been hanging around this board (or previous versions of it) since 2004. Yes I was interested to see what the hot takes were going to be today. As a Vikings fan on a Colts board, this is an odd question for you to ask me.

Not bitter, just foresaw the trend and storylines. There has been a team to win at least 3 SBs every decade since 1970, patriots were the only ones to do it this decade. They had the storyline for brady and belichik already before the confetti even finished falling. Evidence of other games that fit scripts and rectified outcomes during the season (I.e. browns redskins game was terribly blatant).  Im over getting mad at games now that I see it. Mahomes will most likely be the next Brady for the AFC honestly (unless pats draft some 'all time great' again).

 

Brady retires this year or next if he doesn't win, but guaranteed one when he announces retirement, just like every other great has. People were calling patriots to win this year, not because they were good, but because it makes a nice story and fits the script.

 

Unless you research yourself, can you really mock?

No disrespect here, but I'm not quite following you. 

 

I disagree with the notion that games are "fixed" because, with a football game, that's virtually impossible. 

 

I also don't see how you guys would think the NFL really WANTS the Patriots to keep winning. If they're "fixing" games for New England, they sure have a funny way of going about that. Unless you count taking draft picks away (and suspending Brady) as part of it... 

 

I may be completely misreading you here though. If I am, my apologies.

Impossible?

 

Do you not see the refs on the field? Did you not see the PI that wasn't called that allowed the Rams to win? Numerous other games with no calls or phantom calls like the roughing the passer that saved the patriots drive and game. Draft picks and four games is not enough to prevent the games from being scripted.

 

How about this

 

Or just this fun fact:

The NFL argued in court that it is not a competitive sport, rather sports entertainment. They won and are LEGALLY allowed to fix games for the best entertainment, that which gives them the best profits and ratings.

 

Only other "sports entertainment" is WWE and roller derby.

 

They are not obligated to ensure fair games, as made evident in the Chiefs Colts game. When Chris Collinsworth says that its bad when talking about the Colts, that says something lol. 

 

Kraft got Goodell the job and has kept him in power. Repayment is championships. It is also grand entertainment when Brady overcomes these 'setbacks' and still manages to win. Even players have hinted at it in the past. 

 

Refs have huge sway over the outcome of the game. And if the league understands it is about entertainment, then they will comply. When the league shares revenue as they do, then it is in the leagues best interest to ensure the storyline that will generate the most revenue, not the actual best teams. That's just one example of how the league is set up to benefit from entertainment and not competition.

 

Would a colts and cowboys game really generate as much ratings and revenue as the patriots and rams? Not saying they aren't the best teams, just giving example.

 

There's tons of shady things when you go looking. The most famous argument is SB III, without it, the league would not be what it is today.

 

I'm just saying look into it.

Combined two of your posts. 

 

This isn't some sort of 14-year-plan on my part to troll Colts fans. You and I had a pleasant exchange a few years ago if I recall correctly. I've been posting less than I used to (due to life in general mainly, but also because of sensitive topics like Deflategate and Josh McDaniels).

 

I'm not posting movie links as anything but a joke. A pretty mild one at that. There's more of a double standard here now than there used to be, I guess!

 The 2010 spygate case. The ruling provided does not explicitly state they can, yet the ruling contends the NFL is only an entertainment event as argued by the NFL. The wording of the ruling allows for wiggle room. There are also currently no laws on the books that prevent a sports organization from influencing the outcome of their own events (look to WWE as example). The quiz show act only applies to contests of intellectual skills and knowledge. Nor does the sports bribery act apply because it applies to those outside of an organization from influencing the events within.
