Well they used to show her all the time and not just on big plays.
I didn't catch her once - like Allen looking for a WR.

Didn't need the Swifties for ratings. But Swift plus a SB could set an all time record so expect to see her more. If possible they'll show her in commercials for the next 2 weeks .

No one cares about this. Again, stop. What a messed up thing…

NFL tried to get her for Super Bowl gig but she said no because of Eras tour.
Of course she doesn't need the publicity and she doesn't like working for free at this point.

If it were called a first down, replay also wouldn't reverse it. No clear view of the ball and line. Felt it was a 1st, personally.

Also, Steratore said he would've reversed the call, so it's not like it's just us armchair refs saying he made the line to gain.

TBH I did too. I thought that enough of Allen's body crossed the line, that the ball probably did too. But I don't know that for certain. Nor am I sure that anyone else does, Allen included.

I doubt money has anything to do with it. Maybe people should just let all the Swift stuff go. Her very serious boyfriend is playing in the game and maybe she just wants to be a supportive girlfriend staying in the background as much as possible, so as not to be a distraction. She can't control the TV cameras - and if she really wanted more attention, I'm sure that doing the Super Bowl halftime show would be a great way to do that. I actually respect her for not doing it at a game her boyfriend is playing in. I'm sure she'll do some future one.

And they have 2 weeks to prepare for the Eagles.

I pretty much expected these two teams back in October.
They played a close Super Bowl in 2022 with KC scoring 17 points in the 4thQ.
Saquon is the wild card here.
If he gets his 150-200 yds and 2-3 TDs thats a big boost from one RB.

IIRC, he said that one-third of the ball had crossed the line. I did not see the ball, but he is a trained observer and I am not. Anyway, if he is right (big if) it was a bad call by four inches. Hardly egregious. It is quite possible that the replay official may have seen the same thing, and concluded not enough to overturn.

She sued Apple for letting new users listen to her music for free during 3 month trial (she won the suit).
She also sued Spotify and pulled her music off - she said they were too cheap.
Of course she also fought her old manager (Scooter Braun) and remade all her albums to shut his revenue down.
Swift scraps over money - maybe its because her father was a stock broker

"Music is art, and art is important and rare. Important, rare things are valuable. Valuable things should be paid for. It’s my opinion that music should not be free, and my prediction is that individual artists and their labels will someday decide what an album’s price point is. I hope they don’t underestimate themselves or undervalue their art."

I just hope it's an entertaining game, as I have little rooting interest - maybe mildly for Philly as I was an Eagles fan until I became an RU fan in college and my whole family are big Eagles fans (grew up 10 mile SSE of Center City).

Will you be watching Kendrick Lamar?
I listened to him a couple of times and concluded he's a nut imo

Would have been great for Buffalo to make it, but the better team won. Rooting for the 3-Peat! F Philly.

Thank god they didn't. Last thing i want to see is Philly winning a SB and we know Buffalo always chokes. KC has a better chance of beating them.

Reid and Spags - coaching was difference tonight
Spags was a maven and Buffalo's offensive calls were not title ready

It really was night and day. Even Romo called out the Chiefs know Allen goes left on sneaks/push and yet Buffalo continued to do it without a ton of success. Plus why James Cook wasn't out there more in the 4th quarter makes no sense to me.

Yes, but at same time, if Chiefs front can stuff him the Eagles offense is a lot less imposing...
