NFL 25-26: Blame The Refs for this Thread Title

[Kepler]

So you have noting other than contempt. Pretty weak.

You seem to be priming people that Brady won’t make his first ballot for those “reasons”.

No, I think Brady is first ballot. I think he got (and deserved) tremendous respect despite his pathetic circus of an off field life. Brady was laughed at as a person but respected as a player. Bill was groused about as a coach. There is no way to gauge how he would have been received as a person had he been one.

Brady was an ahole. He won too much. And he was directly involved with one of the cheating scandals. Bill = Tom.

ESPN is reporting that the Seattle Seahawks will be for sale after the SB.

This coming from the current owners.

Joe Flacco added to the Pro Bowl.

Holy shit, just cancel it if 2 Browns QB's are invited.

Thrift store remnants are a hell of a drug?

W/R/T Belichek not making it to the HOF, I did see one post (yes, from a Pats fan) that said something along the lines that if he is kept out of the HOF, then the Pats should get those draft picks back. Because you can’t have it both ways. I kind of agree with that thinking.

Saw that Krafty Bob was at the premiere of Melania sitting right next to Trump. Insert rolling eyes and vomit icon. Look, I know Kraft is a Trump guy but jeez. Read the room Bob. So the good news for me is I can now actually watch the Super Bowl. I have avoided watching the Patriots play all during the playoffs and the regular season because I’m a jinx. When I watch, they lose. Accepted an invite to a Super Bowl party the other day!

You want the Pats to lose or what?

It’s more like I don’t care if they do at this point.

 

[ScoobyDoo]

I do. If you look at ownership of the two teams it is night and day. Although, Seattle is going to sell and it will probably be to someone worse than Kraft.

The NFL and Disney/ESPN closed a deal to sell the NFL Network and NFLRedZone to ESPN in exchange for Disney getting a minority interest in the NFL

Super Bowl week.

And you have a week to prepare. Undoubtedly this is going to be played at halftime- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1Femq4NPxs And you need to learn to salsa. This is a pretty good song to Salsa to. The video even has some salsa lessons in it.

Compared to other salsas- this has a really good beat, and a great chorus similar to a Marc Anthony tune. Singing is ok- I'd much rather listen to Marc or El Gran Combo, but Bad Bunny did win lots of Grammy's last night with this, and it's what we get to hear live Sunday.

Salsa is a music that is almost impossible to sit still to- so move. And the song title is Baile Inovlidable which translates to Unforgettable Dance. So dance.

I have mostly checked out of the NFL for several years now and only even watched the playoffs this year as I was traveling and really didn't have much other things to do.

I am absolutely delighted by the Pats being back in the SB and obviously will root for them, but I have to say that this will likely be the least stressful SB watch I've ever had. Yes, I care and hope they win. But everything this year - everything - is total gravy to me.

We'll get you there. The first step is admitting you have a problem.

Holy shit. That seems extremely big.

Just do the first song in Spanish. That will be enough to end the GOP forever due to brain and ass hemorrhaging.

I admit I'd never heard of Bad Bunny before the announcement and my first introduction of him was screeching by some terrible people, so I immediately liked him. I took a listen (holy hell does he have a lot of Spotify streams) and... yeah this isn't for me.

But he sure does make certain shitty people very angry and I'm for it.

Guess we aren’t getting that second season of Playmakers?

We aint the demo.

It's not my thing either. But I have liked his skits on SNL, which he seems to be on about every other month. And he seems to be very smart and is enjoying and manipulating all this as a great strategic play. And in the end he has the super power to make racists spontaneously combust.

OMG Swansong HIIIII!!! Long time no post. Hope all is well.

And Kep, I don't have a problem. If they win, I'm buying the hat and t-shirt and will enjoy it. I won't be gloating, but man, this thing with Kraft makes it so hard to gloat even if I wanted to. It's so damn disappointing. Anyway, I just spent a while the other day watching whiny baby fans of other team complaining about how it wasn't fair that the Pats were back in it. About how they had the softest schedule in the league. Yeah, well, they won games. Why is that so hard? If your team had two or three sucky seasons in a row and got blessed with a soft schedule, if your team actually won those games you too could be rooting for your team in the Super Bowl. They did not face cupcakes in the playoffs. If the Patriots' opponents in those games couldn't figure out a way to end the Patriots' season, then blame them. Sheesh!

Did you see him on the Grammys last night? I could almost hear the MAGAt heads asploding from my couch. I was texting with a friend when he won AOTY and said to he "Please do the speech in all Spanish!" not thinking he would. But he did! It was awesome.
