Between this being their 6th straight conference championship appearance, all the Taylor Swift stuff and seeing Mahomes/Reid on State Farm commercials almost literally every single NFL commercial break I'm just ready for them to go away. Expand Mahomes is like the spokes person for any product in NFL commercials. It's so annoying. Quote
buddha Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 if the lions do manage to beat the niners, i hope they get the chiefs. i want no part of the ravens again. 1 Quote

Expand Nah. It was pre-determined to be Baltimore vs. San Fran. Look at the Super Bowl logo colors. A bit weird that the logo always seems to match the teams that end up there later. Purple & Red this year. Well, the only way that can happen is........ Yep, it's a conspiracy, sure. Just like paying the Bills kicker millions to miss to get another week of the Taylor Swift thing. It's all scripted. The writers finally started feeling bad for us. Quote

Otherwise it’s just using the benefit of hindsight to create narratives. Expand If the refs were in the tank for KC, the obvious place would have been on the fumble out of bounds in the end zone. It was close to a 50/50 and it went touch back Buffalo, and was a 7pt swing as it would have been KC 1st and goal at the 2. IIRC, the network's pet ex-official did agree with the call -- after it was made. And it was an overturn so it would have been easy to say the evidence was not clear and convincing enough. Quote

So, in order to save lives (and billions of dollars) someone in the NFL needs to hire him. 1 Quote

Expand To me the fact that there are dynasties and more importantly anti-dynasties is proof that it isn't scripted. Mixing things up and making everyone has their turn in the sun keeps all fan bases engage and rabid. Having a team in the league that hasn't won it all in half a century-plus isn't smart. Quote
