Super Bowl LIX - Live Chat Thread

[Carey]

Here is a place for the fans of the NFL and everyone else to discuss everything related to the Big Game.

Over the past six decades, despite the Modern Era NFL Championship Game being the most important & prestigious game annually, it seems to be the least important thing during Super Bowl Sunday.  Thanks to the commercials, half time show, and whatever else.

Either we're getting our first Modern Era three-peat and first 15-win AFC team to win the Super Bowl, or the NFC East extending its record in terms of Lombardi Trophies.  Either way, should be a great game, and the NFC East will still be the only division in the league where each if its member has a Lombardi Trophy.

Game time & kickoff is sometime within the 6:00 PM Eastern hour on Sunday, February 9th, 2025.

Here is Gridiron Heights’ take on the game:

It’s cute that Mahomes has become the “big bad” of the series, yet he still sounds like a Muppet. Also, the Chiefs are set up in a Technodrome. Cute touch.

So many New Orleans musicians appearing, yet New York’s own Lady Gaga sings a moving song in tribute to the New Year’s tragedy?

She really had to pay for being in that Joker sequel.

Anyone out here even been to NOLA? I’m very uptight, and I figure that city might not be the best for me to visit right away.

I've been there - way back in 1985 (?).  I went during Halloween, thinking it would be less crowded that Mardi Gras.  And it was, yet it was still crowded.  Had a fabulous time, and still have the mask I bought while wandering the streets.

[Magog]

Did I actually just heard some booing when the Chiefs was just coming on the field in the pre-game intros?

[Lantern7]

Why do the Chiefs insists on that stupid dated war chant? At this point, they can just come out to Darth Vader’s theme music.

@Magog . . . I heard it as well.

I've already had one plate of nachos. 

 

[Lantern7]

I didn’t watch the last Jurassic Park movie. 🤷‍♂️

Fox News spot? Booooooooo.

[DoctorAtomic]

Oooh, I like this funky version of America. Something we would have done in jazz band in HS.

[ebk57]

I love Trombone Shorty!!

[mojoween]

@ebk57 He’s so wonderful!  😍

(oops nothing against Trombone Shorty but I meant Jon hahaha)

[ebk57]

When we saw Jon Batiste last year, Trombone Shorty crashed the show for a few numbers (he and Jon are longtime friends).  It was fabulous!! 

As was the Anthem!

[DoctorAtomic]

Yeah, as picky as I am about the Anthem, I thought that was well done.

I’m not hungry but there are pretzel sticks in the freezer calling my name.

Land’s sakes Cam Jordan is so damned pretty.

?????

”I will be the referee tonight. Hey, Pat.” “Hey. Make it look close, mmkay? For the fans.”

I never saw the original Lilo & Stitch, either.

[Magog]

Are there even going to be any good commercials in this Super Bowl? I haven't seen one yet.

[mojoween]

There is already a “Lilo & Stitch”, we need another one?

Ok that YouTube ad was funny.

I don’t think they start coming in until the game starts.

Hi, Tom Cruise!

Yeah, it's usually around that time, or before the opening kickoff.  Depends on the season & network but it's around the same time annually

[DoctorAtomic]

The picture looks great on Tubi. I just put the game up on the tablet in the kitchen so I can go for drinks and not miss anything.

I was just looking at a pic from Colts-Seahawks with my dog sitting next to some guy in a recliner watching the game.

That makes sense.

Lets watch Saquon go 60 yards and make Giants fans happy and angry at the same time!

Lady Gaga sounded amazing. 

Tom Cruise's face looks ... refreshed.

[Carey]

My goodness...that scoring bug is super-horrific!

[DoctorAtomic]

Offensive pass interference?

[ebk57]

Once the coin toss was rigged, we shoulda known...  😉

[shoregirl]

You can't call that. Hey refs you suck

[twoods]

Huh offensive pass interference. Thats a new one, refs. Gotta mix it up I guess. 

[AimingforYoko]

Well, that call should definitely silence the conspiracy talk. [/s]

[Lantern7]

Dunkin commercial. Y’all see BelicheK’s g/f IRL? Ye Gods. Do they come standard issue at UNC?

He was dating her prior to the UNC deal. Bonkers, right?

[Lantern7]

Scoring bug?

Little Caesars is still a thing?

Hey, FNC? Not tonight. Seriously. Fuck all the way off, please.

[ebk57]

The commercials have been really bad so far.  And the good ones are supposed to be the first ones.  It's gonna be a long night.

[Cotypubby]

Really don’t need to see T***p commercials. If this crap is gonna continue I’m out. Don’t give a shit about either team anyway

[DoctorAtomic]

Our first make up call. 

[Is Everyone Gone]

TOUCHDOWN!

[DoctorAtomic]

No interference there!

[mojoween]

Oh fuck no this TD should be called back, how did the refs not see that guy on the Eagles o-line moving?

Ok irrelevant because the receiver was short but still.  This should be back at the 30.

[Lantern7]

TOUCHDOWN, EAGLES! Nope, not yet.

If they win, we get at least one episode of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia devoted to it. We got two the last time the Eagles won the Super Bowl.

You want class, you bring in Morgan Freeman.

The receiver's hand went into the facemask and the helmet twisted.

I once played a high school football player.

I know Dan Levy is popular but every Homes.com ad is more annoying than the last.

TUSH PUSH FOR 6!

My hatred for Philadelphia is reaching Godzilla-sized proportions.

There goes the chance of the first ever Super Bowl shutout! /s

Something in the back of my mind is saying it was still illegal. Still Lynch should have gone beast mode even without folks pushing his tush.

At least they have a song. Chiefs fans rip off Florida State with the whooping.
