Super Bowl LV: Live posting thread

[DoctorAtomic]

It's like all blitzes. 

[Growsonwalls]

This might be a good time to ask: is there as much point shaving and gambling in the NFL as is rumored to go on in NBA and MLB games?

[OtterMommy]

Has anyone caught a ball yet this game?

[merylinkid]

KC on the board.

 

[Lantern7]

Three points. Hey, it’s something.

Matthew McConaghy in 2D has to be inspired by mushrooms.

In case you didn’t know, Crank Yankers became a thing again. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Gambling for sure. Point shaving is really hard versus basketball where you can just miss a few shots at the end. 

[OtterMommy]

I will probably never eat Doritos 3D after watching that commercial.

[ebk57]

Will Ferrell - just no. 

 

Another good one from Paramount.  I don't want to like them, but I do. 

[merylinkid]

Did they just do an amputation joke on that Paramount + commercial?

[WritinMan]

Well, that McConaghy/Doritos was just weird.

I had a bag of those. They’re interesting.

Come on, KC. Field goals aren’t enough to beat Brady. 

[DoctorAtomic]

Isn't there a woman reffing? What position is she? 

[Magog]

Antonio Brown has his first catch in the Super Bowl. That just makes me sick to my stomach.

Now, I'm really feeling nauseous because the Bucs just scored a touchdown.

Edited February 8, 2021 by Magog

[DoctorAtomic]

That was an impressive drive. 

[Growsonwalls]

Touchdown for the Bucs. Of course.

[AimingforYoko]

Wow, Brady to Gronk. The Pats have to be loving this....Oh, right.

[OtterMommy]

Gronkowski is like the 30 year old who stills hangs around the frat house

[Carey]

You know, I was getting ready to comment on Brady's lack of a 1st quarter TD in 10 appearances, and as I was tweeting that, Nantz commented on it, deep in Tampa's own territory.  As was the custom, Romo called him on a possible jinx.  Quite fitting it was to Gronk

[Lantern7]

Gronk TD. Cue those rooting against TB:

Yes. Her name is escaping me right now but I think she’s a field judge? I believe she’s the first woman to ref in the Super Bowl!

[merylinkid]

Sarah Thomas

I love that Romo is so prophetic. I hate that he predicted something good about Brady though. 

[Calvada]

Sarah Thomas is the game's down judge

[mojoween]

Fuuuuuuuuck Tampa.

I totally forgot about the “Real Men of Genius” ad campaign.  I loved those commercials.  I also wiped away a small tear for the nostalgia of the Bud Bowls.

[Fostersmom]

Didn't Budweiser say they weren't going to air a commercial this year and donate to Covid relief instead? I guess Bud Light doesn't count. 

 

[Calvada]

KC has had pretty good starting field position - better start doing something with it.

I think they meant no Clydesdales this year. 

[Lantern7]

I can’t remember the last time I had Mountain Dew. It just never comes up for me. 🤷‍♂️

[Carey]

Well before I thought about and then considered not to tweet it, someone already tweeted the correct response for that Mountain Dew bottle count for $1,000,000

No argument, but he did do a cool video gifting local medical workers tickets to the game. 

[ebk57]

Drake from State Farm... fabulous!

[Growsonwalls]

I always get all the feels every time I hear "Rise Up."

[Fostersmom]

I liked Drake from State Farm's heart in his hair line. 

[Bastet]

I've been busy during commercial breaks until now, so the Drake from State Farm was my first - off to a good start.

The Chiefs, not so much.  Come on, Kansas City!

Just Budweiser.  There was speculation earlier, but Bud Light will be business as usual

[OtterMommy]

Peyton!

[Calvada]

Stupid play by the Chiefs player - they ALWAYS get the retaliation, never the instigation. 

[OtterMommy]

The other guy started it!

[Bastet]

Oh, fuck me.

[Magog]

Why does it feel like the Chiefs are sleepwalking at this moment?

Edited February 8, 2021 by Magog

[mojoween]

I hate everything about this shit right now.

[DoctorAtomic]

I understood bud secondary products would be advertised, but no main products. 

[Carey]

With a 14-3 deficit, you could say the Kansas City Chiefs have the Tampa Bay Buccaneers right where they want them

[Bastet]

Because, to borrow from Jim Mora, they're not doing diddly poo.

[Calvada]

The KC defense is looking as bad as the KC offensive line.  It's a team effort, in other words.

[DoctorAtomic]

Dumb call on tackle eligible. Romo just saying they're playing better when they kept the play calling simple. 

[Bastet]

Whew!  I was so afraid in real time that the ball crossed the plane, but thankfully Sarah Thomas was right and I was wrong.

Edited February 8, 2021 by Bastet

[merylinkid]

Bucs waste a challenge.   Good job KC stopping.   But now they have to go the entire length of the field.

[Kromm]

Doesn't John Travolta have better things to do right now?
