*** Ofishul Super Bowl LIII Game Thread - Rams vs Pats - Feb 3rd 5:30 pm CT CBS ***

Great rebuttal. Lots of context and nuance.

Defense is why they won most of their super bowls not Brady. If that fatass in KC lines up onsides Brady ends the game with 3 int and a fat L. Brady gets way too much credit.

Finally, someone speaks up about the PED use in the NFL. MLB doesn't allow players to participate in the post-season if they test positive for PED's that season.

That’s the dirty secret of the NFL, though. It doesn’t care about PEDs – at least, not enough to make the punishments tough enough to discourage their use – because the game benefits from them.

PEDs make players faster and stronger. PEDs allow players to recover faster and withstand the brutal pounding of a game that is the equivalent of a series of car wrecks. PEDs allow smaller players to hold their own against guys with six inches and 100 pounds on them.

Normally don’t really care who wins the Super Bowl but knowing a Patriots win pisses off NY fans (mostly Yankees fans also), gives me great satisfaction.

I find great satisfaction in all the people it pisses off when Boston teams win championships. Especially all the Cowboys and Yankees Fans.

There really is no comparison.

Eleven titles in 13 years, including eight consecutive.

You're correct. There really is no comparison.

Yes and I provided context and evidence to support my claim.

You provided opinion. Nothing even closely approximating "evidence."

"I

t's much harder to build and sustain a dynasty in the salary cap era of the NFL"

You disagree?

That is your opinion. Nothing substantive there. I am more impressed by 11 in 13 and eight straight. Or Rubicon's Wooden example.

You're comparing 1960's NBA to the modern NFL in terms of degree of difficulty? No further questions your honor.

The lengthy 3 month drought, without a celebratory parade in Boston, is finally over.

Well, if you are going to go there, how about:

Roger Federer - 20 grand slam titles and 10 runners up in 16 years.

Jack Nicklaus - 18 majors and 19 runners up.

What was the deal with the after game trophy presentation? Was that new? Strangest thing I have seen in a while.

Valid point. Good examples.

Tracy Wolfson tried to initiate the post-game interview too early. Should have given Brady an extra 5 minutes to celebrate w/his teammates. It's the Super Bowl.

It was after the interviews and they all lined up and the trophy was reverently carried past everyone by a past player. I think 3 different players swapped carrying it while everyone leaned down and kissed it like some religious artifact.
