Super Bowl Recap

Image
So many things to unpack with this game. Kyle Shanahan's 7 career drives as play caller in 4th quarter of Super Bowl: 3 plays, fumble 6 plays, punt 4 plays, punt 5 plays, punt 3 plays, punt 7 plays, turnover on downs 2 plays, INT — Josh Dubow (@JoshDubowAP) February 3, 2020 Not to mention he was dressed like he was caddying for an amateur player at the Masters. Has there ever been a photo worth of freezing cold takes as much like this one: I mean that is a tough look, and it exists forever now. I'm still not sure how the 49ers lost this one.  I mean, yes, Kansas City did get a few calls going their way but nothing extraordinary that really swung the game.  They won by 11, in a Super Bowl, down by 10 with only 3/4 of a quarter left. Without a dog in the fight this year, and the lack of hype, and the way the first 3 quarters were played, this game was looking like a total Broncos 2016 Super Bowl.  And then suddenly Mahomes just did what he has be...

I Hereby Declare Superbowl Weekend On

Image
It's Super Bowl weekend!  I'm a Patriots fan. A typical first weekend of February...   Tonight I will do what I always do to kick off Super Bowl weekend, simulate the game on Madden.   Last years simulation had the Falcons stopping a late Patriots comeback, and squeaking out a 3 point win. HAHAHAHAHAHA This should be an interesting simulation, because I think it's going to be a fairly low scoring game, maybe not in the first half, but definitely later in the game. For whatever reason I have been so caught up in the lead up to the game, that I haven't even given a moment of thought to who I am going to take on the point spread.   For those of you who do not gamble online, and live in the Province of Ontario, OLG has released no line, and no prop bets, and it's Friday morning before the Super Bowl.   There has been money coming in on the Eagles all week, nothing major, but there is money floating around out there on the ...

Of Course The Pats Are Going To The SuperBowl

What a football game.....WHAT A FOOTBALL GAME. You can throw away the first half of the game because this Pats team does not come out full throttle on purpose.  At the half we are down by 4 points.  It's nothing.  It's right where we want to be heading into the second half.   Not even worried. Pats D has got to be better. Story of the whole season. — AHF (@AngryHabsFan) January 21, 2018 The third quarter was a little different because when the Pats should have been coming to life, the Jags kicked two FG's and it was 20-10 heading into the 4th quarter.  Still plenty of time on the clock but the D had to be better, and they were. Huge stand by the D! Great field position. Here we goooo — AHF (@AngryHabsFan) January 21, 2018 And then, of course, finally, this happened: Big shout-out to the NFL for letting us use this footage of Tom Brady in the fourth quarter pic.twitter.com/jmkT9YrzfA — The Ringer (@ringer) January 21, 2018 Death, T...

Yesterday I Tried To Lower My Heart Rate And Then NFL Sunday Happened

Image
Ever since Christmas I'm terribly out of shape.  I documented this a couple weeks ago in a post about running 7 K and then suffering 24 hours of painful regret. Yesterday I thought I'd nestle in for an AFC Divisional game that would be anything but spectacular, and then Leo Fournette decided to have a career game and yes, Bortles wasn't bad either as the Jaguars SOMEHOW beat the Steelers to advance to the AFC Championship Game.   THEN the Vikings get a solid 17-0 lead with a defense that is rock solid.  So what do I do?  I flip the channel... By the time I tuned back into FOX the game was 21-20 Saints as Drew Brees just threw a clutch TD with about 3 minutes left.   The next 30 minutes of my life are a bit of a blur.  Somehow the Vikings get back into FG position, and nail it, making the game 23-21 Vikings.  And then on a legendary 4th down Brees hits his man for FG position, and a clutch kick from Lutz to basical...
