Let`s just say this is not a good year for Green Bay Packer fans (me!) or Buffalo Bills fans.

On another Super Bowl note, a lot of big-name corporations will not be advertising during the Super Bowl and will be spending those ad-dollars on COVID-19 awareness and "other" issues. it is one of the few times I look forward to watching TV ads and the creative abilities of ad agencies and corporations, sometimes as much as the game itself. Then again, is it a good reminder that there are more important things in life and society right now than a football game.
 
Kinda `ironical` that this is the first time one of the participant`s has a true home field advantage...and will be playing in a mostly empty stadium. Strange times indeed.

Woulda enjoyed seeing the Packers-Chiefs matchup a la` Super Bowl 1 but not in the cards.
 
the superbowl is fixed guys. Tampa bay? are you telling me tom brady is in the superbowl again? man what a joke
 
When Brady was with the patriots I always routed against him because of the all the winning that occurred in Mass/Boston area. But I have eased up on Brady an realized how great he is and have watch a few games this season. It really is unbelievable that he is 43 playing in NFL. I’m going 38-35 Tampa, with the chiefs getting off to a fast start and Brady having a good second half reeling the chiefs in.

I gave up on sports years ago. All the garbage that goes on with these players is pathetic.

It IS vastly different from how it even used to be in the 60`s..

Now, we have the kneeler-disrespecting-the-National Anthem-Flag people..

And easily worse, does not Anyone know how to Tackle anymore??? It is so pathetic.. Look, I`m just going to put 1 skinny arm out there and see if I can stop that running full speed running back... So sad...

Even in High School, our Coach told us we had to put our headgear (facemask) into the runner`s chest and drive him backwards - every time -.. And we did it..

Now, these millionaires barely do anything out there...

Already deleted the NBA, MLB, and pretty soon, the last of these wanna-be jocks, that are way, way, overpaid for the little they contribute to what was once a great sport..

Maybe it IS all going to be like Big Time Wrestling is today... :( :( :(

When "analytics" (IE, highly developed computer programs) make coaching decisions, it ain`t sports; it`s Artificial Intelligence, and I do mean "artificial."
Video review has taken the "human element" of referees and officials making rules infraction or allowable/legal play decisions out of their hands and into the "booth review". Yes, NOTHING is missed now and the "correct call" is verified because so much money is riding on the line in professional sports games today, including sports betting, not to mention player contract performance bonuses and incentives. It just slows the ebb and flow and momentum of game play today for ALL professional sports.

As someone once said, "The only true sports are motor sport racing and track-and-field; the rest are all games."

side note: If you watched the 2021 NFC Football Championship Game in Green Bay, you may be questioning why GB head-coach Matt LeFleur went for a 3-point field goal on forth down and goal from the 8-yard line rather than allow the offense one more chance to try to score a touch down and then go for a two-point conversion in an attempt to tie the game score at 31 with 2:14 left in the game, and hope the defense would do its part and get the ball back or at least send the game into overtime. His post game comment was, "It just did not work out".
Apparently, his analytic computer did not want a street near Lambeau Field named after him like Super Bowl game-winning GB head coaches Lombardi, Holmgren, and McCarthy have. (Sounds more like a lament, Packer fan Captain Obvious!)... At least I AM Captain Obvious!

Go Bucs! As a Bills fan, the Chiefs are a dirty team, I already hate them more than I hated the Patriots for the last 20 years. At least the Pats didn’t talk like they were a dynasty after winning their first of 6 Super Bowls. They went and won 2 more + another 3 and still talked less than the Chiefs are today.

Go Brady!
