I can’t stand that twittering, slobbering, manic ESPN black guy whose name I forgot.

Booger Mc-something. Yes, Booger. I can't stand the over-technical jargon, as if every play is the equivalent of higher order quantum mechanics.

Michael Grodsky, spokesperson for William Hill, which has 108 sportsbooks in Nevada, told ESPN the game was a "healthy seven-figure loss" for the book, with 69 percent of customers betting the over.

There will be a quiet word to the Commissioner and this won't happen again.

I wonder what McKay would say about USC's execution?

Something I'm sure. Like, no matter what USC's record is, a billion Chinese don't care.

He’s the modern version of Marty Schottenheimer.

Marty... blown playoff games in Cleveland, in Kansas City, and in San Diego.

It was good for the NFL and the LA area for the Rams to win. The place was packed, the ceremony for First Responders, etc. I wanted the Chiefs to win but left with a smile for the folks in LA.

There were some key defensive plays as well.

Not nearly enough of them, it would appear.

How do Vegas sports books lose big dollars on the betting?

I’ve never bet so maybe don’t understand certain things. But I thought point spreads and over/under were set so that approximately equal amounts are bet on each team. And then the bookies make their profit on the “vig”, which is based on everyone betting $11 to win $10. That extra dollar is their profit on each bet.

Do bookies have insurance against big payouts such as these?

Commissioners don’t set the line. Vegas does. And if 69% are taking the over you’re supposed to move it. Lines exist to spread the betting on both sides so Vegas never loses.

As a thirty year Chiefs fan I know the agony of a division champ losing game one of the playoffs. One win, ONE STINKING playoff win is all I ask of this year’s Chiefs team.

The famous comedy team of Tessitore, McFarland, and Witten are
are horrible.
Officiating was ridiculous. 30 maybe 40 flags.
Andy Reid teams have a tendency to deflate rapidly after a fast start - want to see how they fare in Pittsburgh or New England in January. I think they will lose two more and be on the road late in the playoffs.
Rams will probably make it to NFC championship game with Saints.
Not a fan of the new rules NFL.
Pro football used to be played by bulls who played like bulls.
Now they play like steers.

I think he had perennial loser Donovan McNabb as QB for much of his tenure at PHL.

No kidding. At least this year they should have home field advantage.

I have taken to letting the DVR load up a one hour buffer, then watching the game at the lowest fast forward speed. It cuts off the annoying audio while putting the game pace somewhere around ice hockey.

And yet here you are commenting on a game you didn’t even see? LOL

Not to be picky, but I didn't comment on the game at all. I made a snarky comment about soccer.

I say it now. Neither of these teams will win the super bowl this year. Any good defense will beat them.....Pittsburgh, Chicago, Chargers, Houston.

I thought I was watching Arena Football last night,,...I do not enjoy watching Arena Football.

Keep killing the NFL idiots.

You must be very young. Great games have both offense AND defense.

Which should be appreciated by any true American.
