Looking forward to a great game. Early line has Chiefs -1.5 but the Eagles have a few guys who's injury status might change that a bit.
Go Birds!

Super Bowl LIX
- Thread starter otismotis08
- Start date
I have no recollection of superbowl 1 but vaguely do of 2 but clearly remember IIIHow many of us have seen every Super Bowl?
I haven't watched every single one but I remember the days before it was coined "The Super Bowl."
Super Bowl III and IV arguably are the two biggest upsets in Super Bowl History and it established the AFL not being a second rate football league.
"Fifty-five years ago today, the Jets won Super Bowl III against the Baltimore Colts. Only a few days before the game, quarterback Joe Namath guaranteed the victory. It was a bold prediction, considering the Jets were significant underdogs coming into the game."
I was just a kid but I remember how ridiculous Namath's prediction sounded to me. My cousin was a Namath fan and embraced his boldness. I thought he was crazy.
I missed the 1985 Super Bowl XIX (49ers-Dolphins) due to riding a Navy ship (USS CALIFORNIA). Back then there was no streaming Internet on Navy Ships so we only heard the results by Navy message. The result was relayed to the crew after the game over the 1MC shipboard intercom (aka ***** Box). I watched only part of another in the airport in Atlanta before getting on an airplane for LA. The pilot gave us updates during the flight.How many of us have seen every Super Bowl?
The first Super Bowl I remember even thinking about was XIX - one of the older kids I looked up to like the 49ers - so I rooted for them but don’t even remember watching the game.
The first Super Bowl I remember watching intently was Super Bowl XXIII - when the great Joe Montana led an awesome final drive capped with a TD to John Taylor. Awesome game!

If people think there is hatred in politics these days, it is nothing compared to how much some people hated Namath with his white shoes, panty hose commercial and Fu Manchu. My dad fumed his showboating would be the beginning of the end of good sportsmanship in pro sports and like a lot of other things, dad ended up being right.
Remeber it all very well, Namath became a household name and became a hot commodity for commercials and adds.
I was born ten days after the SB IV. First one I really remember was XIII in '79 cause it was on my birthday.How many of us have seen every Super Bowl?
Cam Jurgens is a gem.
He and Landon Dickerson played tag-team yesterday with injuries, and they smoked that Commies pack.

How so? Whenever I watch an NFL game, I think the sportsmanship, if anything, is too good. Game ends and it's one big kumbaya, with everyone glad handing and laughing it up and hugging and swapping jerseys. Losing team acting like it's no big deal that they just got their butts whipped. Gotta go kick it with their bros from the other team. Showboating and bad sportsmanship are not one in the same.
Chiefs gotta keep Eagles out of 3rd and short...take away the tush push and make Hurts beat you another way, and if that happens so be it...but ya can't let em get to 3rd and 1 or 2 all game.
Whom to cheer for this game? Tough decision for me. I lived in Bala Cynwyd for a few years many moons ago and I porked a few eagles fans so for the slooths I guess I’ll cheer for the cheesesteaks
OP...If you want more clicks, put "Kansas City Chiefs" or "America's team" in the thread title. Trust me!!! America loves that!!!!!
I have seen them all. However, I stopped watching the halftime shows for the most part. Most of the games have been exciting. I have tried to watch all football games objectively and I have concluded that by and large the officiating has been pretty good.
I know I have not watched more halftime than have watched. We always used that time to either go outside and play football or snow sled behind the 3 wheelers depending upon the weather .
In high school and after it was pool, ping pong and shuffle board.
Now it's snack visit and board game/cards
90% of halftime shows have been garbage imo
If I recall his story, Namath said what he did because he got tired of hearing how his team had no chance. So he promptly told reporters, we’re going to win this game, out of frustration.
There are very few people in the world I’d take over Harrison, much less Ocho.
He might not even know anything about fighting, though I’m guessing he does, annd he’s as strong as nearly everyone on the planet.
Either way, punching that dude would be like punching a bull in the face, just a waste of time.
