Or quarterbacks getting hurt.

That was not Purdy.

One of the worst called games I've ever seen

Refs were in fact giving the Chiefs free third downs

Brutal officiating in that game.
Unfortunate that a penalty decided the game though that was a fairly legit call, but many other questionable calls and the do over play should result in some folks getting fired. Ridiculous.

That was not Purdy.

I'm still trying to figure out why San Francisco didn't at least try letting McCaffrey run wildcat for an extended stretch instead of rolling out and injured QB who couldn't throw past 5 yards for half the game

Philly/KC. 13 days away. I'll be rooting for KC cuz I'm a freakin' Giants fan. But, Philly has got a great team and are capable of winning another Superb Owl.

 

[DeVaul]

Not the SB I wanted to see, but will be rooting for KC.

 

[mikal]

Yep, Mahomes is my favorite player in the league, an underdog, and battling an ankle. Hard not to cheer for the Chiefs unless you're a Philly fan of course.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I believe the Chiefs actually opened as 2 point favorites, which quickly swung to 2 point dogs in very short order.

Obviously as a Giants fan (and non tall building) I can't ever bring myself to root for Philly. The prospect of Andy Reid beating them in the Super Bowl is also too sweet to not be in pulling for Kansas City.

Alas - these are two very good teams and it should be a great game that could go either way.

It finally happened, again. Tom Brady has retired, again. This time he knows its for real.

Hewson, you gonna go to Tom Brady Day when NE retires his number next season?

 

[Hewson]

You think he did enough to get his number retired?
It's borderline.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Too many people on football teams. Don’t retire numbers.

 

[phanan]

Generally agree, but he’s the exception to the rule.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

congrats to Eli's son on his second retirement.

 

[DeVaul]

What a complete dope.
Speaking of, Rodgers to Bucs?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Todd Bowles to the unemployment line?

 

[MrPryck2U]

Generally agree, but he’s the exception to the rule.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Records are made to he broken folks

That, or Brady light occurs and too is worth of special exception, and before you know it every QB is #6

 

[cobl04]

if the Redskins had to change their name (and rightly so), why the fuck aren't the Chiefs doing the same?

 

[LemonMelon]

You got a point there, chief.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Birds aren't real

 

[LuckyNumber7]

“Chiefs” is absolutely not an offensive name. If you’re comparing it to “redskins,” shit, idk what to say. One is literally racist.

The imagery the chiefs use needs to change. “Chief” doesn’t need to exclusively be native, nor is it really even so. Even if it was though, should people from Long Island be offended by the name “islanders?” What about “Canadiens?”

Just don’t caricaturize your mascot or imagery if it can refer to real people. I think “Seminoles” is probably the horizon of “you might need to change your name.”

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i am offended by the islanders.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Basically the same thing. Difference between a kangaroo and a wallaby, cobbler.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

that's definitely new jersey and not long island. i'm offended.

Sir

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i'd like to speak with your manager.

 

[mikal]

I'm offended when other dudes call me "Chief" though.
