2019 Super Bowl chat thread

[Hal-9000]

There's already threads for football bets and league discussion.

Thought we could post here real time during the game. My TV is upstairs and PC is downstairs, so my comments will be intermittent.*

*Like when Brady has to leave the game due to injury and when Gurley scores his two touchdowns :)

Took a while for the Imgur people to notice she did the Heisman pose :thumbsup:

and she's doing the one handers with both hands

:wank:

[Hal-9000]

I never realized when Robin Williams did this, it was during the 1979 Superbowl between the Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots :rofl:

He came out with the Broncos cheerleaders and Denver won :dance:

Rams - 28
Pats - 24

:thumbsup:

The Kitten Bowl and the new Cat Bowl were awesome. :)

[KevinD]

I'm halfway considering watching Puppy Bowl XV

[DemonGeminiX]

Gladys Knight. :thumbsup:

[KevinD]

Rams held Patriots to a field goal attempt.

[DemonGeminiX]

It's definitely a defensive game so far...

[Hal-9000]

Gladys Knight. :thumbsup:

I noticed all singers and pre-game guests are black. Sending a message to people who like to sit during anthems?

[Hal-9000]

Not happy with those first two penalty calls. What kinda half assed interference rule is that?

[Hal-9000]

Nice kicking Mr I missed 4 in 3 games :lol: :thumbsup:

[DemonGeminiX]

I noticed all singers and pre-game guests are black. Sending a message to people who like to sit during anthems?

Gladys said beforehand that she would in no way shape or form support anyone that knelt during the national anthem. She thought like the majority of us, that it was disrespectful.

[Hal-9000]

Belichick and his play selection, man. Say what you want but the Pats show different plays every week.

They ran one out of the I-formation ffs. Defenses must hate playing against him.

[DemonGeminiX]

Game of Thrones commercial. :thumbsup:

[Hal-9000]

You ever notice the Pats have a white QB, two good smaller fast white receivers and a white Tight End?

[Hal-9000]

Game of Thrones commercial. :thumbsup:

We're getting one of about five American commercials. They let us see that one.

Did you catch the Oil of Olay commercial with Buffy? :lol:

[KevinD]

Time to eat. Oven baked bbq brisket, home cooked borracho beans, fresh ( well frozen from last spring) corn on cob, and mashed taters

No, I missed that one.

Mike Meyers-like bad guy comes into the house, Buffy and a guy run upstairs to call 911...she can't unlock her phone with facial recognition because she's been using Oil of Olay :lol:

I think it was Buffy...her face looked real smooooth.

[Hal-9000]

Since I played defense most plays I consider game-pivotal are made by the D.

Number 23 for the Rams just covered Gronk beautifully and stopped the Pats from any scoring as the second quarter ran out.

The Rams defense is doing a wonderful job.

[KevinD]

:-s

:-k

Rained all day, again. Couldn't fire up the grill, and already had meat out. It's not bad at all, just doesn't have the smoker flavor.

[KevinD]

I liked the 100 years of NFL comercial. Lots of old favorites in it.

[deebakes]

halftime show is garbage :puke:

[KevinD]

Tie game...

[Hal-9000]

Holy crap some of this defensive coverage is like watching a clinic.

Rams kicker puts a 53 yarder through :tup:


*no confusing him with a Chicago kicker, nope :lol:

[Hal-9000]

Moron 5 is a good band [-(

[deebakes]

i know you just liked it because he took his shirt off for some reason :shrug:

[KevinD]

I know the vast majority dont like it, but I love a great defensive game. For me this is an awesome game.

[Hal-9000]

I feel bad for Ryan Goffling :( Gotta say though, the team that played better won the game.

No crap calls deciding the game and some good defense. It was a surprising game if anything.

I guess we got treated last Super Bowl. That was great football game :thumbsup:

[Hal-9000]

i know you just liked it because he took his shirt off for some reason :shrug:

I like the song Sugar :oops:

[deebakes]

of course you do

[RBP]

That game sucked.

After the T-mobile "sushi" commercial, I said "here we go" and my wife asked what I meant.

"I promise you, Twitter is ablaze with bitching about the misogyny of that ad" and rolled my eyes.

She grabbed her phone, scrolling, not saying a word.

I said "well?" and she just said "yes" and tossed her phone on the couch.

"I thought it was funny anyway" :lol:

I think we only got to see one actual commercial from America...the Game of Thrones preview. Everything else was our typical Canadian fare :meh:

The ad featured texts from two girls; one short and to the point, the other was some long involved emotional text? I don't get it.

We only got a preview with Arya, Sansa and Jon walking around in the family tomb.

[RBP]

The Bud Light (Bud Knight) GOT ad was the one I liked.

[Hal-9000]

Of course. Because you don't watch TV like normal humans :lol:

Thanks for the link to the ads. Yes we didn't even get one. Well we got the Buble one but that doesn't count. Another Celine Dion and Bieber situation with him.

I saw something about a Spock prequel. I won't watch that either.

Ohhhh... Survivor Extinction! Whatever that means.

There's a whack of commercials on that page. Alexa was funny :lol:

It means the first season of Survivor I won't be watching :lol: (altered rules negate the entire premise of the show, voting people out)

Spock prequel is probably Star Trek: Discovery. As Lance and I have been discovering...it's a shitty kick in the nuts to what made the original Star Trek great and this series is likely written by some militant SJW's in the writer's room.

[Hal-9000]

Awww man I just watched the Microsoft commercial featuring kids with disabilities and a special controller for them to play video games :(

[Hal-9000]

The T-mobile commercial was a whole bunch of so what...I watched two if them, the sushi one and the long text commercial.

Not once does it mention a guy's name during the interactions. Are they sexist because they portray women as complicated human beings? :lol:

[RBP]

Awww man I just watched the Microsoft commercial featuring kids with disabilities and a special controller for them to play video games :(

That was great. I believe that's the same kid in another ad they ran earlier.

[Hal-9000]

I saw a funny one tonight with various angry toddlers refusing to eat spoonfuls of food.

Deep voiced announcer:

That's too crisp.
That's too soft.
You cut it wrong.
It touched the potatoes.
The spaghetti is too long.

:lol: it was hilarious

[RBP]

Interestingly, the Gillette "masculinity" ad didn't air.

The video for Shaquem Griffin the night before was better ayway.

I'm at a loss as usual :-s

I did note however that each singer and pre-game official on the field was black and they made a point of saying they all toured the hood and talked about SJ issues.

I wondered how Colin Kaepernick felt about what Gladys Knight said and then I see this :lol:

"Colin Kaepernick's lawyer lashed out at Super Bowl Halftime performers Maroon 5, specifically singling out frontman Adam Levine for his ire."

:rofl: How about finding the first white face about 10 positions down the line up and your finger lands right on...the first white face. Too much :lol:


I haven't read the article yet...

[Hal-9000]

Ok I peeked. Lawyer says:

"Most of the musicians who have any kind of consciousness whatsoever understand what's going on here."

Because any artist that plays the Super Bowl is not showing solidarity for his blackballed client :-k

"If you're going to cross this idealogical or intellectual picket line, then own it, and Adam Levine certainly isn't owning it."

He's mad because Maroon 5 didn't give the regular pre-game press conference :-k


Hey lawyer man...why don't you take all that righteous indignation and throw some at each of the FOOTBALL players, coaches, management, equipment handlers, who are actually participating in the GAME your boy is banned from? Why you pickin on the entertainment? They were only out there for 12 minutes.

[Hal-9000]

Gotta love Levine. He says "I'm not a speaker. I'm not a public speaker. I do speak, but it's through the music."

translation:

leave your shitty politics out of my halftime songs :lol:

You had to watch on CBS if you have that station to get the US ads. Apparently this might be the last year we get them again. I flipped back and forth between that and TSN and noticed TSN was running a lot of Tim Horton's ads :lol:

[Godfather]

That game was meh for a casual fan, defense was impressive but I want to see huge plays and TD's :lol:

The halftime show was my least favorite in recent memory, just didn't seem anywhere near as much pomp & circumstance as they usually have. Lady Gaga jumping in from the ceiling, Prince playing Purple Rain in the absolute pissing rain, Katy Perry's weird dancing sharks, JJ's tits... tonight did not compare.

I can't believe Lance gets to enjoy another Championship. I've never experienced my city winning a big one (granted we only have hockey now unless you count CFL or MLS). Lucky bastard, I'm happy for him and green with jealousy :lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Game was pathetic. The Rams sucked ass, thank you to the refs for putting them there instead of the Saints :roll:

Gee, the Patriots are only throwing to one guy, do you think maybe we should cover him better? :-k Nah, they will stop throwing to him eventually. :thumbsup:

:rolleyes:

[DemonGeminiX]

I don't know, let me look it up.

[DemonGeminiX]

The New England Patriots are a professional American football team based in the Greater Boston region. The Patriots compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league's American Football Conference (AFC) East division. The team plays its home games at Gillette Stadium in the town of Foxborough, Massachusetts, which is located 21 miles (34 km) southwest of downtown Boston, Massachusetts and 20 miles (32 km) northeast of downtown Providence, Rhode Island.

Well, they had to pick one team from the NFC they thought would make the Super Bowl, and they had to pick one team from the AFC they thought would make it to the Super Bowl. So there you go. :)

Most of the corners and safeties were covering the Pats receivers like glue...except Edelman. As Romo was saying the guy was beating any coverage by five yards at times just when he made a cut on his pass routes. It was embarrassing.

We had a smaller guy on one of our teams who was like Edelman. Ran like he was on fire and could catch anything thrown near him. In practice he'd come off the line and you'd be running with him, then one second later he's gone and he's over somewhere else catching the ball :doh: :oops:

San Fransisco is my team and I was a fan in the 80's before they started winning championships. Most of my school friends liked Dallas, Oakland, Miami...one guy was huge NY Giants fan. The year SF beat Dallas in the division finals with The Catch I was in grade 10, all my buds called SF a 'gay' team because of the old reputation SF had as a city...and for the next few years Joe Montana and Jerry Rice, Roger Craig rolled over competition much to the horror of my friends.

[Hal-9000]

Tom Brady has appeared in 17% of all the Super Bowl games.

You know what I see when the Pats play? A team that's so well coached that when they execute plays it looks like they're at practice.

I have this vision of Belichick running them so hard and making them do so many reps, half of the guys are barfing and crying.

Some of the washouts decide to try Navy SEAL training so they can get a break :lol:

I still maintain that you put those New England Patriots back in the late 70's thru the 80's, there's no way they would have won 6 Super Bowls, let alone go to 9 of them.

Sure. But it's the same argument talking about fighters, hockey players etc. Rule are different, equipment is different, training methods are different. Hell even the way they call time outs now is different.

You know what burns my ass in general about football? The kicking rules. A person should not be able to angle a punt out of bounds where the receiving team has no chance to touch it and the refs mark it where the angle bisected the sideline marker....in the air. It should have to touch the ground in bounds first.

And we have a no yards rule. I notice in the NFL guys can just run down, crowd around a punt and stop the motion of the ball where ever they want. Returning team should have to touch it first at least.

Same thing with a touchback on a kick off when a returner doesn't want to run it out. Don't they auto spot it on the 25 now? That's 25 free yards without any loss because of the decision. Back the kicker up 10 yards and make it a one point penalty if the receiving team elects not to attempt a return.

Simplified - Now, if you feel the returner is a great runner you just keep booting it into the back of the end zone and it goes to the 25. Same thing on the receiving side. You get 25 yards for free anytime that ball drops near the end zone. Should be more of a detriment. Like after a touchback spot the ball on the nine yard line...

I simply made the statement about putting the Pats back in the late 70's thru the 80's because I am absolutely SICK of the talk of him being GOAT.

As far as the kicking rules, the NFL has basically made it so there are little to know kick-off returns anymore because of injury risk. Personally I think it's stupid, the return game is no more dangerous than other parts of the game. But they let the teams kick-off from the 35 now and with most NFL kickers now, that almost guarantees the ball will either end up deep in the end zone or just be completely kicked out thru the back of the end zone. They used to spot the ball at the 20 for than, but now it's the 25, and that's dumb too, but the NFL wants more offense.

As for crowding around the ball after a punt, the defensive team usually only does that if the punt returner runs away from the ball because he has no shot of catching it or returning it. Like if he thought he was going to be able to return it but then realizes he should have called for a fair catch and he ducks away from the ball. He needs to NOT let it touch him or else it becomes a live football. That's why you only see the defensive players crowd around the ball like that.

Yep I'm up on the whys and hows...don't like them. I think...in our league on a punt the kicking team has to wait until the ball stops moving to down it. That's after the receiving team has elected not to field or touch the ball. We do have the five yard rule on kicks which I like, because otherwise the kicking team can just hire a bunch of track stars and be there at the same moment the ball drops near the kick returner :lol:

It's almost an auto-spot on kick-offs and that 25 yards is a lot of gifted real estate. Injury risk...pffft, play flag football then.

In the NFL, the kicking team MUST give the punt returner the opportunity to catch the ball or else it's a penalty. Now, they can try and time it just right and hit him as he catches the ball in hope of knocking it loose, but in doing that, you run the huge risk of an interference call.

So you can't eviscerate him with a well timed hit as the ball is entering his hands?

It is fun to watch :lol:

Not happy with those first two penalty calls. What kinda half assed interference rule is that?

Can someone explain that early interference call on the Rams?

Guy had caught the ball and was tackled. Refs said something about his head and how he hadn't become a receiver yet after the catch. :-k

Watching it live on TV I didn't know it was her until right near the end. I thought they had photoshopped her video image somehow. Her face doesn't have that bad plastic surgery look, it just appears like a smoothing out filter on a camera.

*my ex did the smoothing out thing on her pictures she would send me. Looked so bad at times I thought it was a painting :lol:

[Hal-9000]

I don't recall that play, I was only half paying attention the the game.

Pats guy caught the ball, Rams defender may have tackled him high instantly. They ruled the Pats player hadn't 'become' the receiver yet and so the contact was illegal.

Whole play took maybe 1.3 seconds to run, quick pass over the middle. I thought - If they're this picky the Rams will never win.

I think in general the calls went both ways and nothing was too horrible.

I find myself agreeing with Romo a lot. I don't like him for some reason but man he can call a play.

I guess I'd have to see the play. :-k The whole new "what is a catch" BS in the NFL seems to almost change from game to game. But as far as contact being illegal because the receiver hadn't become a runner yet, that's a head scratcher.

And I agree, Romo irritates the fuck out of me, but he is good at calling what's going on down on the field.

I told you the spots I played on two of my teams. We had a great defensive coach who taught us how to cover guys and maybe kinda sorta throw them off their stride. I'll never forget him yelling at me in pass practice - Hey ____! Don't be afraid the grab his number when the ball is thrown, you want his number!!!

:lol: meaning, get your hand on his jersey and do anything to prevent him from catching the ball.

Romo's play predictions are like Nostradamus at times. He wasn't that great of a QB :lol:

Forgot to mention that Verizon running a first responder ad when they got caught throttling first responder services during the largest fire in California's history is almost comical.

It was also the lowest rated (ratings-wise) Super Bowl in 10 years.
