Singing was good but that out of tune guitar wasn't.

To me it felt like he was too laid back and trying to be way to sentimental. The National Anthem is supposed to be performed in a way that everybody can follow and join with if they choose.  I am not a fan of a personalized Anthem.

I mean Whitney Houston changed that. After her version it became a "listen to me perform" routine.

Jimi Hendrix?

[JohnOsbourne]

Not a fan of either team but this game showed how important coaching is in the pros.  KC made the necessary half-time adjustments, Philly didn't.  Siriani got totally out-coached by Reid.

C'mon, I'm not saying that there aren't great personal adaptions out there because there are a lot of them, I'm just saying that if you're gonna sing it. I feel it should be sung in a way that anyone can follow.

I'm still trying to get my head around the fact the game consists of four fifteen-minute quarters yet can take up to four hours (what is the longest game on record?), to complete!?

What is with the American pre-disposition to time outs? Definitely not an endurance sport that factors in fatigue with so much downtime.

Comprising three teams within the team, offensive, defensive and "special" kickers does not surprise me that the Chiefs quarterback was able to play on with his "suspect" ankle injury.

Also, players not in possession of the ball can be knocked arse over tit and / or slammed into the turf and sometimes trampled on and that's ok, but if a player pulls an opposition jersey they get penalised?

After that diabolical decision in the last moments of the game and gamesmanship (clearly poor sportsmanship and winning by fair means or foul), compounded by Mahomes' time wasting was a bad look for the game and any credibility it had has been severely tarnished.

Btw, I don't support either the Chiefs or the Eagles. Just a sports lover's observation from afar.

Reggie, I can't disagree with anything you just said. I know I've made numerous comments that all the major sports in America have been ruined & that the quality of the games--for the most part--don't stack up to the good old days. Whatever Era the good old days might be for various fans....

The NFL has no legitimacy at all.  Bullshit call wins the Super Bowl after sissy Mahomes pretends to be injured at end of first half.  Then he cant wait to go whining to the refs after throwing the ball away.  What a crap ending. Eagles got screwed.  And for the record, anyone that knows me knows I am not a fan of either team. 

So moving on, rumor is that AARON ROGERs could win up in Vegas and the Jets have looked into getting him.  Not sure if any NFC teams are interested?   I am still solid on the Lions having a real shot in that division this year.  If Rogers goes to either Raiders or Jets it makes them playoff contenders but I do  not believe Super Bowl contenders.  It would give KC hell.  Their schedule is already a bitch.  If Rogers goes to Vegas then we might have a fight for once in AFC West and don't forget about Denver and their new coach.

Well, there went $200 down the drain. If only I had known the Philadelphia Eagles were going to try a new defensive tactic called "Don't cover the Chiefs receivers in the red zone".

This is why I did not want the Chiefs to win. Now they are tied with the Raiders in Super Bowl wins and win percentage.

Now begins the worst time in sports. The NBA being the only viable game in town, baseball still nearly 2 months away, and nothing going on in the NFL off-season except the usual--Pat Mahomes and his nuts being bronzed by the 24 hour sports cycles, Aaron Rodgers usual diva drama, and the lack of minority head coach hires....

This time of year really sucks....

More proof that numbers aren't everything if Derek Carr is the Raiders all time leader in major passing stats...

Very strong rumors and reports have Aaron Rogers going to your Raiders.  This would reunite Rogers with Adams!  Look out KC!  I hope it happens.  

[Walter]

I LOVE how KC has become Buffalo’s public enemy #1. New England fell back to earth and the Chiefs are the Bills’ new daddy now.

They can at least give them a fight  That division stinks.

OK.  Someone should start the new 2023 NFL thread.   The draft looms but I wonder when we learn of Rogers and Lamar and what unfolds?  Barklay is FA.  He would be a big catch

Maybe.  Why dont you or Walter have the honors?  I have a feeling this is going to be a great year for the Lions.   The best in my lifetime.  Since the days of that guy that used to drink a six pack in the locker room at halftime. Bobby Lane I believe?  Lions are my pick to win the central  I just do not see Rogeres staying. Raiders.
