I haven’t been announcing in the thread, as I sometimes change it up at the Yahoo site more than once leading up to the game...

I still haven’t made my SB pick, but likely will go with the Chiefs...

It is obvious that the Zebras operating under the guidance from the head office of the NFL, that something stinks.
IS IT THE BETTING? Were the Zebra’s in the pay of those taking the BETS. Or were the front office under pressure from the Bet takers? I think that allowing betting on NFL games have made it questionable as to whether teams actually win or teams lose because of the Zebras.

Two weeks the NFL made plans to have a neutral site game between KC and Buffalo.

A week ago the Bills were beat by the Bengals. Joe got them to issue those refund tickets.

Re-watching the entire KC-Cinci game, it is apparent the Zebras threw quite a few yellow flags, which Joe Cool Burrow overcame on long sets of downs... during the game Joe Burrow made throws that are incredible for a lot of reasons such as time to acquire that skill set. There are always some bad calls in a game. Then there are those “good no calls” the commentators constantly talk about all season long. A few bad calls happened prior to the fourth quarters.

In the fourth quarter, the Zebra’s seemed to panic; was the betting line set to cost somebody involved with the NFL front office money? At one point the Zebra’s gave KC a fifth down. Later with under four minutes left the bad calls started, and by the two minute warning the Zebra’s were throwing yellow flags all over the place and still KC was headed for overtime.

This one game and events of the past month have shown the NFL front office may have become corrupted.

All Bets Are Off, going forward given the questionable on field antices of the Zebras. Gambling always invites organized crime.

What we witnessed Sunday was outright Criminal.

Hell, a few weeks I thought the Zebras were supposed to be neutral but now anyone watching that last game knows better.

Sean Payton is going to Denver.

If he is, don't be surprised if he shows up with Brady and Gronk.

Tom Brady says he is retiring from football ‘for good’

8:21 AM

Tom Brady says he is retiring “for good” from football, ending his 23-year career in the NFL.

Brady announced his decision Wednesday on social media, saying he “wouldn’t change a thing” about his career.

Brady, 45, also announced he was retiring after the 2021 season before changing his mind 40 days later and returning to play this past year with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

GUERNSEY COUNTY, Ohio —

A Philadelphia Eagles player has been indicted on charges in an Ohio rape case, according to the state’s Attorney General Dave Yost and the Guernsey County Sheriff.

Joshua Sills, 25, was indicted by a Guernsey County Common Pleas Court grand jury on one count of rape and one count of kidnapping. Both charges are first-degree felonies.

Sills is an offensive guard for the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles.

ccording to the indictment, in December 2019, Sills engaged in sexual activity that was not consensual and held a victim against her will.

The indictment states the crime was immediately reported, and the Guernsey County Sheriff’s Office began an investigation.

The case was presented to the grand jury and is being prosecuted by the Special Prosecutions Section of the Attorney General’s Office

I've updated the spreadsheet to reflect all the Super Bowl picks in this thread so far. Waiting on Impy for the actual Super Bowl Thread.

The tally so far: Eagles = 11, Chiefs = 11 (not including Yahoo)

[Note to Jumper] You're the only one left who picked either Cincy or SF for the Super Bowl and never updated the pick. You have until 5 minutes before the game starts to pick a winner.

Gotcha. Hoping for a game with very few penalties and none in the last 5 - 2 minutes.

Put me down for Kansas City. I hope Philly loses both the Super Bowl and the World Series. Daily Double.

Picking the Eagles here.

A Penn State fan, and the Eagles have a Nittany Lion starting at running back.

You have until 5 minutes before the game starts to pick a winner.

After that, we all get your prize money...

Going with Philadelphia.
They have been the best of the league all year. KC very good. Just not enough.
Erin Andrews. Gronkowski in a wig.
