I would be fine with just getting rid of kickoffs altogether and just spot the ball at the 20 every time

They should have an 'old school'/museum bathroom at the new stadium with urinal troughs/sinks 😛 The Good - 51-3 - simply the greatest feeling/atmosphere I've ever experienced at any sporting event (or in life?). By halftime was just a big surreal party in the stands "We're going to the Super Bowl!!!" - 2nd to last game 1973 - OJ ran for over 200 yds in a snowstorm - without that game he doesn't break 2000 the next week. I was 9 yrs old - my neighborhood friend had an extra ticket and my brother and I flipped a coin on who would go and I won - Of all the games I've been to I will always remember the AFCCG against Denver in 1992 being the loudest - my brother and I were sitting low EZ and I remember trying to scream at the top of my lungs to talk to him sitting next to me and it was impossible - just crazy - '90 game against Dolphins where fans tore down goalpost and passed a section up to Wilson's box. I remember also seeing fans throwing sections of post over the sides of the stadium and thinking "that seems dangerous" 😛 . Crazy - '81 comeback vs. Patriots. 2nd half fans were streaming out of the stadium and I told my brother "We're not leaving - it's going to be an Alcoa Fantastic Finish!" People remember the Hail Mary Hooks caught to win, but the catch he made down the middle on the last drive was the greatest sports play I've ever witnessed live - I was in the EZ behind the play and Fergy launches the ball to seeming nowhere, and out of nowhere Hooks just flies into view and lays out with one of the greatest catches I've ever seen - just unbelievable The Bad - Cleveland 6-3 - simply the worst sporting experience (life experience?) I've ever had. Freezing cold, historically bad crappy game/teams, crappy seats high in corner of upper deck. We came up from NC and day before the game found out my young son had gotten swine flu but he still wanted to go - he still has PTSD from this game - One thing of note though from this game is something that would go in the Good (Best) list. As we were sitting there freezing and miserable and questioning our life choices, this guy comes running down the aisle full speed and right at my row - trips - and goes flying like superman parallel to the stairs for what seemed like 20 rows. Dude flies gloriously through the air like a drunk fan superhero, crashes at the bottom - pops up like nothing happened and disappears into the tunnel. Probably the most amazing thing I've ever seen - my son and I still talk about it - Jax playoff game '96 - the shock, and sadness, and Kelly getting carted off. Walking out of the stadium you just felt it wasn't just the season that was over, but an era The Ugly? - Told this story before - one time as a young lad we were walking up out from the EZ after another loss and we pass a lone guy splayed out on the benches with both his legs over the bench in front, and arms wide behind him, head back, semi-conscious - with his dick out, pissing all over himself. The exact tone of disappointment and my Dad's voice is still seared into my brain "Move along, son" - we never spoke of it after

I was also there - one random thing I will always remember is there were a couple girls in front of us who kept saying "I'm just here for the Clash!" and we were like 'OK'. It still comes up sometimes with my buddy

"All that matters is the Super Bowl! Any people deriving any happiness from an undefeated regular season are loser fans!"

I agree on Rousseau and said in another thread people seem to forget he was drafted primarily to be the Mahomes-stopper - with his length and athleticism he was drafted to be the guy to chase Mahomes and actually bring him down. That hasn't happened in the playoffs

One of the refreshing things to come from this SB is some of the ridiculous Mahomes hyperbole has cooled a bit. For so long the acceptance that 'Mahomes is the greatest most infallable player in the universe' has been so sacrosant no talking head would dare say otherwise. It's nice to see him being treated a little differently now. I do think the Hurts admiration has gone a little over the top this week - but that's what the media loves to do is take something and then multiply it by 1000

I said in the gameday thread - honestly just competently and fairly spotting the ball to not influence the game is a huge deal normally taken for granted

I've always considered 4 straight SBs to be one of those unbreakable records. Will be interesting to see how Chiefs season goes next year

Foxworth had a good line on Get Up this AM about Chiefs aura being impacted by this game "We started to get to a point where we thought of this team as magical and invincible - you know what beats magic? Physicality." All the AFC teams will be looking at this game saying we should be doing that - we can do that too.

People seem to forget Rousseau was drafted primarily to be the 'Mahomes stopper' - with his length and athleticism to chase and close and pull Patty down as he pranced around the pocket. He just hasn't shown up and done that when it mattered.

Now I can watch sports TV again starting with full enjoyment tomorrow

Josh and the Bills coming

Is Philly gonna build a statue of Siriani outside the stadium next to Pederson's?
