PPQer Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) The Stuperbowl will be the 5th game I've watched this year, the other four were the final playoff games. I think KC and their QB will be hard to beat. Chiefs win by 17. 49er fans are so mad about what is going to happen, they are literally crapping on the sidewalks.

Dric902 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) It should be one of the better Super Bowls. I was hoping for a “State Farm commercial” bowl (Rodgers/Mahomes) the new XFL starts Feb 8th ? . Edited January 25, 2020 by Dric902 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Posted January 25, 2020 Administrators Share Posted January 25, 2020 I haven’t watched a game since all the kneeling crap started. I don’t intend to ever watch another game. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul53 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Agree with the distaste for the kneeling crap. If they want to make a statement, there are better ways to do it than to insult the national anthem of the USA. The millions of dollars they are paid doesn't make the gesture more meaningful, just as movie stars opinions don't carry greater weight because of their career. Let them spend their money to get attention for the cause. Edited January 25, 2020 by Paul53 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I haven't watched a game in many years. And the knee-thing had nothing to do with it. I just don't care. I actually enjoy when the steelers lose, just to see how completely miserable people at the bar, or co-workers, get. Some will boil for days.

Maser Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I couldn't care less about the taking a knee thing. I just can't stand the thought of adults being paid millions to play a children's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know they were still kneeling, and thought the NFL had addressed it somehow because I haven't heard any controversy about it lately. I think it will be a good game, and it's the first one in decades I'm actually looking forward to. But I will be watching on a broadcast channel to prevent adding to ratings. The KC QB is under fire from the left for tweeting support for the Police at some time in the past, and IMO, is a future hall of famer and fun to watch. I'll pick anyone over the 49ers for who I want to win, but I think KC is pretty much unstoppable. But having only watched 4 other games, I'm far from an expert.

That is an ignorant statement. I played HS football and it is anything but a children's game, even at the lowest organized levels. It requires extreme physical conditioning, strategy, and is very hard on the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like sports. Just don't watch enough of it to claim to be anywhere close to an expert. More of a baseball guy but i do enjoy college football. I'll root for a good game because so many of these are blow outs. This is one of America's biggest events. Something to be enjoyed. I hope the commercials are better this year. This one is about 12 years old...and still cracks me up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASH Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 i used to be a steelers fan all my life until they hired mike vick to be on their team , im a big animal person as is my family , we support , volunteer and help with rescues , ive seen puppy mills and fight pits , and it boils my blood , so i dont have a team anymore except i like the packers as people actually own the team , i pull for underdogs and i like andy reid as he is good coach , i hope chiefs win its been 50 years , both defenses are good , but this is gonna be a high point total bowl . i like chiefs 38 - 30 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holyjohnson Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 i Suppose if i had to stretch for a favorite, and it`d be a stretch i`d root for the 49er`s because Lil Jimmy Garapollo was the G.O.A.T.S. Backup, but that is a thin, thin reason. i watched maybe 3/4s of a game this year and last year i watched 2 games Including the Patriots win #6. there's just too much foolishness in the NFL for me and i`m still not Okay with the kneeling during the Anthem and lack of resolution to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railfancwb Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I have broadcast television only, so my opportunities to watch football - college or NFL - are increasingly limited as everything gets moved to pay channels. Even the NCAA national championship game was ESPN. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 College hockey is the realest, rawest sport you'll ever watch. Just a bunch of jarheads with nothing to win, or lose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 My niece played college lacrosse. I had no idea. In hockey, if you hit the guy with your stick one time, you get a penalty. In lacrosse, you can do it fifty times, rapid fire, and it's allowed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Watch this ****. I discovered it in Ireland. I saw several amateur games played in the villages. I bought sticks and balls, so whenever we go to camp, we kill each other, in a friendly way. NFL players are *******. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I worked with a guy that played rugby. He had a team picture on the wall in his office. I asked him why he had duct tape wrapped all around his head. "So my ears don't come off." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
