Super Bowl

[Dave]

The decision by the Pats to kick that last field goal cost me $100. 4th and less then a foot, and then you can just take a knee to end the game.......

Super Bowl parties are the worst. Bunch of people that don't follow football, talking during the game ruining it for those wanting to watch and only shut up for the commercials and halftime.

So true.

Well, I'm not sure I'm too excited about it. I'm interested to see how Belichick handles his team. It will also be interesting to see how McVay handles the pressure of being in the Big Game, and if he can shut down Tom Brady.

Not too excited about Maroon 5 and the infusion of rap....

Bum's boy...
Wade Phillips figuring out how to take away Edelmann as a receiver could be key to the game.

Oh the good old days when halftime was just a marching band that none cared about.

I hear you. The commercials are all “woke” this year. I get it, your company is politically correct.

I didn't see the commercial and didn't read the "news article", but I saw a headline where apparently some commercial or another offended some vegans.

I don't know. I went to a pretty good one. Prime rib dinner before the game started. Over 40 adults there. Televisions set up in 3 different rooms. Now I sure wouldn't have wanted to watch in the living room. People there were talking and not watching the game. The basement however had 10-12 people intent on the game. You can tell I live in cattle country. At half time 5 or 6 men got up and left. Calving season has started here and they had to go check on heifers. They all got back by mid way through the 3rd quarter.

I had the DVR going for the first quarter b/c I had to feed and water. Took me about 40 minutes. I caught up, but I know there are folks who could not have dealt with something like that. It's just what we do.....

How did the odds work out last year? Pretty close except Philly.
For last season, before the season began, Pats were 6:1 favorites to win SB.
The next 4 favored teams
Eagles-9:1
Rams-10:1
Steelers-10:1
Vikings-12:1

They had it pretty close tho the Saints being missing from top 4 may now have seemed curious they weren't far behind.
At the end of 2018 preseason games:
As of September 2, 2018

Team Odds
New England Patriots +625
Philadelphia Eagles +900
Los Angeles Rams +1000
Pittsburgh Steelers +1000
Minnesota Vikings +1250
New Orleans Saints +1300
Green Bay Packers +1400
Atlanta Falcons +1500

Bettor X lost 2 million at MGM betting Rams to win, same guy who won 6 million from them in
Super Bowl LII by taking Philly to win.

I'm working on a theory that the Vikings curse relates to Sid Hartman, Sid turns 99 March 15, 2020
I'm going to guarantee the Vikings win a Super Bowl within 40 years of his passing.
The Red Sox broke the curse of the Bambino in 2004 I say the Vikings can break the Hartman curse
maybe 50 years later in 2054, but it will be broken.

Browns and Steelers even at 22-1?

Steelers should be better odds.

The Browns star is rising and the Steelers fading, neither made the playoffs.
I'm surprised by Baltimore at 33-1 I'd put all three at 25-1 and Dallas, Philly and Vikes 20-1

Steelers should be better odds.

I don’t know. Big Ben has kind of turned into Big has Ben. Antonia Brown is more than likely gone. Leveon Bell May or May not be back. They’re kind of a mess right now.

The Texas Super bowl is a pipe dream until Houston gets rid of O’Brien.
He gets out coached every time.

Gonna take a whole lot more than just that.... easier getting rid of a coach than it is an owner. That’s what I think it’s going to take to fix the other teams problem. :2cents:

I see that Robert Kraft, the 77 year old owner of the Patriots has now been charged with 2 counts of solicitation of prostitution in Florida due to extracurricular activities in a strip mall massage parlor..... (illegal use of the hands? )
His 39 yr old girlfriend/hanger on back in New England probably isn't too happy...

Good for him, he's getting along pretty good for 77.

I'd be proud to own it at his stage in life.

An old guy stops a stranger on the street and says "I got some last night!"

Stranger says "Okaayy,...but why are you telling me?"

Old guy says "He//, I'm telling everybody!"
