Super Bowl LVII - Live Chat Thread

[OtterMommy]

This thread will open 1 hour before kick off on February 12 and will close after the the Vince Lombardi Trophy is awarded.

[OtterMommy]

The thread is open!

[SnarkShark]

Babyface lipsyncing so transparently was annoying.

 

Harder to tell with Beardy Stapleton.

[Calvada]

I thought the anthem was ok, but too slow.  It's supposed to be a declaration of triumph.  Anthem singers always drag it out to maximize their time in the spotlight.

[Lantern7]

“There’s a game on after Puppy Bowl?!?”

Ref got booed. That’s messed up.

I would be rooting for KC, but the whooping from the fans is dated AF.

[DoctorAtomic]

The anthem was never meant to be treakley. It's bombs bursting in air. The tempo is brisk.

[twoods]

I’m still mad the Eagles fans booed someone who won a Humanitarian award. I wouldn’t be sorry to see those same fans filter out crying at the end. Trash.

KC does racist whooping, while Philly destroys part of their own city every time, win or lose.  Hard choice fanwise.

Damn. Who’d they boo?

I see Philadelphia as a city that peaked at the turn of the 18th/19th Century, and their fans are a-holes.

[DoctorAtomic]

NFL gladly giving back for all the sweet DOD money on the Tillman segment.

[Lantern7]

Here’s Gridiron Heights taking on the game via a new HBO breakout hit:

Dak. Yeah, he’s a Cowboy but come on.

A big part of my dislike for both teams is their fans.  I'm sure there are some nice ones but the ones doing tomahawk chops and the ones destroying Philly can go away.

[Crashcourse]

Now can they get on with the fucking game?  

[SnarkShark]

I'll admit I'm a sucker for lameass keyboard cat.  

[Magog]

A winning Super Bowl party is much much more fun in Philadelphia than in Kansas City. So for that, Go Eagles. 

[Lantern7]

Niners/Bengals might’ve been more interesting. Imagine Joe Montana or Steve Young getting pressed into service.

[Popples]

Is this ever going to kick-off?

[Calvada]

I'm trying to remember which fans, when playing the Packers in the playoffs, booed a young winner of the Punt, Pass & Kick competition because he was from Wisconsin and wearing a Packers jersey.  Was it in Atlanta?  Anyway, who boos a kid?  

Let's play some football already!

I think it was. I remember that. 

[Lantern7]

If this is Glendale, why not bring back Eli Manning?

[ebk57]

Doug Williams has been a busy man this week.  Good for him!

[meowmommy]

It is indeed Glendale.  Ten minutes from my house, and somehow I've managed to avoid every molecule of pregame hype including all of it today.  Rumor has it there's a game today.

[Lantern7]

Waiting for Cocaine Bear to run out on the field at some point . . .

[SnarkShark]

Lame kick off

I'm waiting for the game to be stopped because there's an unidentified object in the airspace over Arizona!  

[Lantern7]

Just realized why Doug Williams is there tonight. I’m an idiot. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Who are these announcers?

Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen.

[DoctorAtomic]

I do not care for them.

[Popples]

Fox's new score graphic takes up too much room.

I like Greg Olsen; Kevin Burkhardt does nothing for me.

Do we really need huge logos?

I think the real question will be if either of these guys cover SB LX in three years’ time.

[DoctorAtomic]

They're very 'generic white guy' voice.

Didn't they just used to have a small bug in the upper corner?  That was better.

Tom Brady and who?

I don't even know what that means.

Have you not watched this season?  They have been the lead team for Fox ever since Joe and Troy sailed off to ESPN-land.

Do not tempt fate. We live in the fucked-up timeline.

[mojoween]

KC’s defense came to play…until they didn’t.

I cannot tell a lie … I would boo Dak too.

Sigh.  Even the Hall of Famer representing Kansas City did the infernal chop.

I love Kevin AND Greg, even if listening to Kevin makes me think I’m watching baseball.

[SnarkShark]

Geez that was quick.

[Magog]

Eagles score first YAY!!

[Lantern7]

Score on the opening drive. Does that happen often in the Super Bowl?

[DoctorAtomic]

I don't know what the ref was looking at to signal it a TD. 

[Lantern7]

Feels like end of the game will get pushed past midnight . . .

[SnarkShark]

Well maybe.  Try 2.

Frag on the pray.

[Lantern7]

Okay, NOW we get a score. And prop bets get killed because a different guy did it.

[Calvada]

What's everyone eating and drinking for the game?  It's pizza and bourbon at the Calvada household.  

[Black Knight]

I'm sure the Chiefs really appreciate all the bulletin board material the Niners gave the Eagles. I had a feeling the Eagles would score on their first possession, between the Niners' whining and Hurts's losing MVP to Mahomes.

[meowmommy]

So how much does your donut cost after they pay Ben Affleck and the NFL?

[Lantern7]

Ben Affleck working a Dunkin.

Okay.

I never got into the F/F franchise. Maybe I should fix that.

[SnarkShark]

Assfleck annoyed me.  Even quicker than that TD.
