And I do plan on rooting for the Rams. Stafford put more into this franchise than most would in his position, and I very much appreciate that. The best situation would be Matt winning the SB, but it would be fine if he just got the MVP.

Lions' fans probably have a better feel for his skill and what he's capable of. To be honest, as someone who never gives them a second thought, I can't say I know the slightest thing about Stafford other than he's their QB and has been for some time.

They all wanted to look like Mahomes in order to get the Patrick price with State Farm.

Why would any decent quarterback want to go there? They have no offensive weapons to work with, and a head coach whose attitude made it untenable for the greatest QB to ever play the position to play there. And, if they wouldn't pay Brady, who would they be willing to pay?

He wasn't coming back to NE even if they offered him $100mil a year.

He's a modern day Brett Favre in many ways

Sure he would have. Maybe not last year, but what was it, four years ago, he told them he wanted to play til he was 45, ad wanted them to lock him in to a long term deal. Show him some loyalty back.

But they wouldn't do it. Which I'm sure in large part was responsible for the increasingly bitter feelings towards the Pats. All he wanted to know was that they wanted him as their QB for however long, but he never got that response from them. All he got were short term contracts for below value money and performance incentives. Basically a slap in the face to a guy who signed for below what he was worth his entire time in NE.

Performance incentives. And then they surround him with shit so he never has a chance to meet those incentives.

All valid points but I'm of a different mindset.
1. When BB went to Kraft in 2017 and said he wanted to keep Jimmy G and Kraft said no that ticked Brady off.
2. Brady was tired of BB's bull.
3. I believe he and Danlels had gotten stale.
4. Strictly coincidence(rolls eyes)Gronk retires for a year the shows up in TB.
 
"Mattress Mack" at it again.
Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale, a Houston furniture store owner who is known for making giant sports bets, has placed the largest wager on Super Bowl LV so far -- $3.46 million on the underdog Tampa Bay Buccaneers at +3.5.

McIngvale flew into Colorado Springs on Wednesday, logged on to the DraftKings mobile betting app from the airport and placed one of the largest bets ever on the Super Bowl. After paying a little extra in juice (-127) to get the Bucs at +3.5, McIngvale would win $2.72 million if Tampa Bay covers the spread.

I don't understand how he does this. I've read that it's hedged and insured, but he's still spending a lot of money, right?

If my understanding is correct, he uses the sports bets to hedge, at least in part, on promotions he runs at his furniture store. For example, I believe this year, he has a deal going on where if you spend $3k and the Bucs win, you get your furniture for free. With his bet, if the Bucs wins, he hedges whatever those losses (to the extent they are uninsured) are by the $2.72m bet win. Of course, his best outcome is a Chiefs win by 3 points or less. Then he wins his bet, and doesn't have to give out free furniture.
 
The line for the public is 3.0

mookie saw where he paid a little extra (-127) to get an another 1/2 pt and stretch it to -3.5
 
Peyton Manning, Charles Woodson, Calvin Johnson, Drew Pearson, Alan Faneca, Bill Nunn, John Lynch and Tom Flores elected to Hall of Fame
 
Yet another accomplishment that Peyton achieved first, but if that Brady kid wins 5 or 6 more Superbowls, that *might* open the door to a conversation about GOAT.

:P
