Lantern7 24,007 February 7, 2021 I got hooked on Gridiron Heights from Bleacher Report. Here's their take on today's big game. 1 Share this post Link to post

How does Tony make you crazy? 5 minutes ago, merylinkid said: Okay the montage of the parents talking about their kids was nice. I got surprised a few weeks ago when I saw a lil’ Pat Mahomes in a Mets jersey. I forgot his dad played baseball. Edited February 7, 2021 by Lantern7 Share this post Link to post

Calvada 7,738 February 7, 2021 Should I take a shot every time they mention the Bucs are the only team to play a SB on their home turf? When do you think I'll pass out - my guess is about mid-way through the 2nd quarter. The sidelines guy talking about the Bucs needs to wear a tighter mask. 4 Share this post Link to post

BitterApple 148,274 February 7, 2021 I'm not familiar with the woman who sang America The Beautiful, but she was fantastic. I get tired of pop singers screaming and screeching through their performances. Edited February 7, 2021 by BitterApple 3 Share this post Link to post

I don’t know how many more synonyms for royalty could be used. Or maybe “Chiefs” could be taken as an adjective. How about taking a cue from Hank Stram and go with “Kansas City Matriculators”? 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ Share this post Link to post
mojoween 45,170 February 7, 2021 Twangified national anthem’s are my least favorite genre of music. Their voices blended nicely though. 2 Share this post Link to post
Calvada 7,738 February 7, 2021 Re moment of silence - people can be jerks. How can you not shut up for a minute to honor the almost half a million we've lost? I fondly remember the great Luther Vandross singing the national anthem beautifully before Super Bowl XXXI and Christina Aguilera botching the lyrics before Super Bowl XLV. This version is too slow - it's not a dirge, it's supposed to be an expression of triumph. DoctorAtomic - was typing that when your post showed up. Share this post Link to post

He knew he sucked, he embraced the suckage. I loved that he wasn't afraid to just go out and enjoy himself. I fully expect him to show up on Dancing with the Stars at any given time.

OtterMommy 12,001 February 7, 2021 My husband spent the last hour trying to convince me that Tampa Bay doesn’t really have a home field advantage. That crowd would prove otherwise.

Any butthurt I have about Jeff Probst’s appearance is offset by the upcoming season of Tough as Nails. Phil Keoghsn is truly the better host. Not much drama so far.
