The Patriots will get to enjoy Denver a little bit longer thanks to the winter storm impacting much of the United States.

New England punched its ticket to Super Bowl 2026 with its 10-7 win over the Broncos in the AFC Championship game.

The Pats will have to celebrate their big win with a night out on the town in Denver, which head coach Mike Vrabel was fully on board with, but he also had a stern message for his team.

I hope the Titans’ owners are enjoying how the coach they micro-managed away is set to win the big one (again, as he’s got a player ring).

The Titans strategically lost almost all their games so their players wouldn’t suffer injuries like the teams who made the playoffs, and are set for some prime draft picking. Brilliant!

How is Brian Callahan about to win the big one, again?

He has no involvement in either the Patriots or the Seahawks organizations.

I don't watch sports anymore, but your statement piqued my curosity to see who you were talkig about.

Brian Callahan was with the Patriots but left there to take the Titan's hesdcoach poition.

So, what am I missing? 😁🤙

You’re missing nothing. I haven’t given a rats about the NFL since all their little kneeing antics and little woke BS. F’ ‘em.

Mike Vrabel, current coach of the Patriots, coached the Titans from 2018 to 2023.

[FamiliarFace]

I agree with your assessment. If Vrabel was so terrible, then how is possible he’s doing so well at the Patriots in such a short time? Micro-managing indeed.

More NFL soaps for the guys. WAGS add to the soap opera-ness of this spectacle.

Super Bowl 2026 will be held at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California and will be first NFL game to feature inflatable AI powered cheerleaders.

Too bad American Eagle doesn’t have a stadium with Sydney Sweeney as a cheerleader.

I'll be watching some old DVDs, like "My Cousin Vinny", "Heartbreak Ridge" and "The Untouchables", sipping dago red and eating deer backstrap {rare} sauteed in butter and onions.

I guess I'll miss the performance of Bad Bunny.

I wonder how many children will be born in Denver from Stefon Diggs in 9 months.

All 3 of his superbowl wins as a player were at New England, now he will appear as the hesd cosch. His record as the head coach of the Titans was impressive of sorts, but he never won the superbowlk while there. I guess the Titans were looking for that benchmark, since they have apparently come close but have still never achieved that goal.

You may be a little too hasty though in declaring Mike Vrabel of securing another win, this time as a head coach. But he has a 50/50 odds.

But the team has to travel clear across country to Ca. for the Super Bowl, while the Seahawks only have to drop down two states. They will both be playing away games, so no advantage there, if anyone gets the advantage it's the Seahawks who do not have to travel as far.

Since I no longer watch football, a quick look at their season records shows me that they are are tied, and in the post season, while both are undefeated, the Patriots being raned #2 seed in the AFC, had to win games, whereas Seahawks had a bye as the NFC 's #1 seed. Which is actually a plus fot Seatle, at least in theory.

I've never liked either of the two teams, so I am in no way biased. Since I no longer watch, I don't care who wins either.

Or how many of them will be terminated in the womb for that matter.

As usually yesterday was pretty much the end of my NFL watching for the year. Can’t stand to watch the SB now, they cater the presentation to the female audience. My wife actually likes to watch the SB, whereas I might check the scores occasionally, and might tune in, in the fourth quarter if the game is close.

[discostu]

his record was really impressive when you remember Derrick Henry was their entire offense. They had a mediocre QB with no legit receivers to throw to. Defense was solid. I remember a game they played against KC, playoffs I think, that they pushed to overtime. They still lost. But it was possibly the best coached game I’ve ever seen. For this team of scrubs and Derrick Henry to almost beat KC was amazing, the exact right play over and over. Firing him, and trading away Henry, was just stupid. Everybody in the Titans organization should feel shame.

[Robert DeLong]

It was somewhat successful, but his over all record at the Titans was 54 wins, 45 losses, over six seasons (2018–2023). Which is somewhat impressive, but certainly not awesome at all.

[econjack]

The message seemed to get through to Williams loud and clear, with the Patriots defensive tackle telling Epstein, “I ain’t playing,” meaning that he had no intention of missing the bus and therefore not being able to play in the Super Bowl in February.

Can someone explain this sentence to me?

[discostu]

With a roster that never had a legitimate starting QB or WR that’s a great record. To be over 500 with a team that was mostly scrubs is great coaching. GM should have been fired for sending into the season with bags of pucks over and over. None of the rosters he got should have been expected to get more than 6 wins in a season. And yet he got more than 6 wins.

[Robert DeLong]

If you say so. The owner(s) are definitely not helping themselves to reach their desire to win a super bowl.
