Heard Steve Young and Shannon Sharp say basically the same thing. And that is nothing can take the place of that feeling of playing football. But they all get over it eventually and move on.

Spuzz Biggest difference is they are rarely challenged via red flags.

I don't believe that challenges are allowed for penalty calls nor non-calls.

I am saying that what can be challenged during the regular season and playoffs usually is, but during the SB, they usually are not. I have seen it happen many many times.

professor they had one year where you could challenge PI/DPI.....that was short lived.....and I do believe it was flag or no flag. I believe they should be able to challenge whatever they want (less judgement calls, but🤔). The issue I have with the refs is the call on the field BS, they hide behind that mantra and won't over turn things that should be!

Pretty sure losing to the Eagles means by default, you can not be the GOAT.

Watch the Pro Bowl yesterday. Liked the format. Flag football mixed in with some skills challenges. Should’ve done this years ago. Less likely for injury and looked like they had a great time. The Manning brothers coaching was nice as well.

What will they do when someone blows an Achlles or ACL in this contactless game ?

Some of the stuff is ridiculously silly, balloon toss? Really? But I thought the Flag FB game was mildly interesting. I don't know about less injuries though as one guy got hurt and I cringed when Jusack (sp?) dove for that one ball and landed on his shoulder and his head hit the ground with no protection. The players have to not go to crazy. It's not something I would ever make time to watch.

professor

Limited interest in The Super Bowl? Or are folks just riding out the marketing, hype week?

professor Limited interest in The Super Bowl?

I'm mostly limited interest in sports these days. I like both teams and won't be disappointed no matter which team wins, but I doubt I'll watch all that much of the game.

azgreg

Eagles by double digits.

bigshank

Hoping for a shootout and overtime lol. In reality I’m thinking 31-17 eagles. Every time I doubt them they demolish someone.

professor

Appreciating the replies as I'm simply curious. Who folks think will win and why?
I'm completely unable to view the contest objectively. I think both teams can be great. I also think the Eagles hold an edge at the line of scrimmage and have an edge, collectively at the skill positions, save for Mahomes being more experienced. As a fan, it's hard to wait.

UnholyDefenestrator78

Hmmm... . KC is morally reprehensible as a franchise and fanbase, and the Eagles are reprehensible period.

Guess I'll hope KC wins so that maybe it will elevate discussion about what needs to be changed ...

rsvman2

UnholyDefenestrator78 If you are talking about their team name, I agree with you. Not sure why Indians and Redskins were offensive but the Chiefs is not? And with an arrowhead logo and that God-awful pentatonic chant that their fans do in the stadium?

garyt1957

I actually prefer the first two weeks of the playoffs. I hope and predict the Eagles will win a close game. Mostly I hope I hit one of my squares.
