There was a Bud Light commercial that was mildly amusing. And one for another Bud product - I think a seltzer (I don't get the whole seltzer thing).

SteveAJones Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) TOM BRADY is the GOAT. If that was still in question, it's not even a discussion anymore. In fact, if there is a discussion, it's "Is Tom Brady the Greatest of All Time among all professional sports?" Professional sports is about winning Championships. He's played in 10 Super Bowls and won 7, MVP in five. Most impressively, at 43, he goes to a team that had won nothing for 18 years and takes them all the way. So now we're talking 20+ seasons of "All I do is win, win, win". Unprecedented! Other Super Bowl notes: the game itself did not live up to the hype, the Halftime Show was a snooze and Tony Romo flat out sucks as a commentator.

JTM Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) First time in a long time I did not watch any of the Super Bowl. TBH don't know why I watch anyway, even after watching most years since 1983 I still don't get the game, too many stop starts for me, not enough flow imo..

When I lived in England I watched a fair amount of rugby on television, and I did find it difficult to watch American football for quite awhile afterward.

Stryder1978 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 .....my fourth year in a row not to watch a minute of the socially deranged NFL. But congrats to Tom Brady...agree with SAJ on that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still a lot of Rugby on free to air TV probably because the for profit broadcasters like Sky don't see it as a cash cow like Premier League Footie, it's popularity is not as great, more a regional than a nationwide game. For example Wigan or St Helens are strong Rugby towns but the fan base of those teams doesn't really extend outside of those places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDobbs Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 American football, IMO, has progressed to the point of the game is the sideshow for the massive marketing around the game. Commercials, commercials, commercials. As JTM said, not enough flow. Football needs to be revamped bigtime. 90 minute clock which does not stop except for halftime or time-outs (three per team). You wanna dick around, fine, but the clock keeps running. Taunting should result in the expulsion of the player for the remainder of the game. Brady played a good game though. I am not a big fan of Brady, never liked the Pat's so, there is that but you have to give the guy credit where credit is due. Until someone better comes along, Brady is the best at what he does and good for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premier League Footie (what we call soccer) bores the shit out of me. I find it unwatchable, and yet I always enjoyed tuning in on the radio to have it play as background noise. The roar of the crowds, the chanting, the over-excited announcers calling the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is NOT THET REASON THEY WON. They won because they lost one of their key blockers in the Bills game, and could not keep the pass rush out. I do believe what happened to Reid's son two nights before played into Andy's mindset. How could it not? I am going to start a new NFL thread for the upcoming season.

cryingbluerain Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 There was a Super Bowl? Guess a lot of people didn't know or just didn't care.

Now they've stopped watching all together. One even said "Yea, my brother got the package and asked if I wanted his password and I told him 'Nah, even free, it's not worth it anymore'"!

I cant stand Simpson but he was some player and if he had not done what he did outside of the NFL he would hav been mentioned much more often. Him and Jim Brown get my vote if all time. I saw Simpson run around the Steel Curtain like they were pop warner players and go 80 yards for a TD. 1st and 10, Fergy handing off. Then on a Turkey game they knew he was getting the ball every play, but could not stop him. I have seen them all of course except Bronko Negurski and guys that are back in the 40s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan1977 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Pete Prisco, leading CBS capper picks the Bills to win the Super Bowl. That plus the lack of activity on this thread tell me we have a legit shot. Never seen the NFL thread get to page 2 a day before the kickoff.
