It doesn't; this is some hideously sexist (not to mention outdated, to the extent the stereotype ever existed) bullshit where men love the Super Bowl and women love Valentine's Day, so having both on the same day will create a nationwide argument among heterosexual couples as to how to spend that afternoon/evening.

Yeah it's not like women watch the Super Bowl or anything.

It's basically similar to Mother's & Father's Day as it relates to the PGA and other spring weekend activities on those weekend days.

At the end of the day, nothing the NFL has or hasn't done that both result in a negative outburst has wrecked their league.  It is closer to nothing than the opposite, but that conflict is not nothing either on an exclusive level. 

That may be just my opinion, but every year I hear (and see) a lot of crap about Valentine's Day on a level higher than respectively seeing & hearing Christmas decorations & music between Halloween & Thanksgiving.

The fact is that like other things in life, people are going to make a decision on that day & weekend; they're going to do what they want to do on 02.14.27.  Some people might celebrate on Saturday, Sunday during Brunch, or not at all.  It's going to be a small percentage overall, and the outcome will be that the National Football League will continue on like every other year, period.

Either way, it's still pretty damn late to have the Super Bowl within a calendar year, that ITA with.

If a SB falls on Valentine's Day I imagine it would easy to get a table at a restaurant that doesn't have TV's. Everyone knows places not having SB parties like movie theaters are not crowded on that particular Sunday.

That is very true

Bluegirl147: I guess I've made a bigger deal than necessary, but to be fair to myself, Ari tweeted that as if he thought of it first.  Not me.  And I totally didn't think of it first I don't believe, not that it's a competition to do so.

I will say that it's a 50/50 situation IMO with how the league will handle things in 2 years.  On one hand, they know that whatever their final decision is will be okay, regardless of the several people whining about it.  On the other hand, the NFL is (extremely) petty.  They want to maximize everything which includes getting as much people tuning into their product as possible.

Not just nationwide, but worldwide.  To be honest, the first thing they can do is get better at officiating.  That, and do away with that goofy looking kickoff.

I don't mind having the Super Bowl on Valentine's Day, then after having great sex the couple yells Touchdown!

Who cares if the Superbowl is on Valentine's Day lol I don't get why that matters.

My annoyance had nothing to do with V Day, it’s the fact that mid-February is too late for the Super Bowl.  The Super Bowl in January was FINE.

Ryan Quigley was injured in the terrorist attack in New Orleans on New Years Day and his best friend and fellow Eagles fan was killed. The Eagles invited him to the divisional playoff game and the Superbowl. When several players saw him along the parade route they brought him on the bus and then Saquon brought him up to give his speech with him. 

 

This is also awesome.  This young man saved his sister by child vering her body with his when their car was hit after the place crash in Northeast Philly.  AJ Brown went and visited him in the hospital after the Superbowl win.

 

 

This story makes me cry every time I read it.   That brave little boy.   His dad feels so much guilt because the boy asked "Did I save my sister?"   Dad said that was his job, not his son's to protect the kids.   (the little girl is just fine btw).   I get why dad feels that way.   But dad DID save his family.   He floored it to get the car out of there.   He did what he needed to do at that moment.  He was driving.   he needed to do that.   If he had stopped ot protect the kids, none of them might have made it.   But I still understand the guilt because his son had brain surgery and almost didn't make it, while dad had not a scratch on him.

I'm a woman and the super bowl on Valentine's Day sounds perfect to me, lol.

Something like seven more women have come forward to make allegations against Justin Tucker. Ejaculate was mentioned. 

He's disgusting. 

[Carey]

Not sure what Baltimore is waiting for

[Salacious Kitty]

Maybe this latest development will light a fire under their asses. 

eta Confirmed that it's seven more women. This is becoming Deshaun Watson levels of  disturbing.

Seems pretty obvious that if the Ravens cut him, it will be because he didn’t have his usual All-Pro season, not because of anything he did to mere women.

[Carey]

Seems pretty obvious that if the Ravens cut him, it will be because Baltimore acquired video from TMZ that features proof of what the guy is accused of doing

Tracks.
