OK everybody, its a East coast/West coast superbowl...

And...BOTH BLUE STATES!

No wonder TSF doesn't want to go, you'd be able to hear the boo's everywhere in the country even with your TV muted.

Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new mania
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mindfuck America

Chorus:

Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alienation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
In television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue

Well, maybe I'm the f****t, America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everybody, do the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia

Chorus

Don't wanna be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
It's calling out to idiot America

Note Bene: I wasn't sure how to handle the anti-gay slur. I hope that was how it is done.

Seattle and New England are both kind of hated teams. Like no one will care who wins

They have a class coach in Vrabel, and a rising star in Drake Maye. Seattle is the class of the west, but the Pats deserve to be there and have a shot. I glad to see the Pats back.

I grew up with Plunkett to Vataha (they played for Stanford previously!)
Fans cheered when Plunkett was pulled from the game. That's because they were glad he was spared slaughter due to an offensive line about my size and strength.

Moved to the bay area in 1980. Young guy named Rice just hitting his stride.

Brady grew up in the bay area. Family is still here.

My prediction: The 49ers will be back when they rid themselves of the "Nick Bosa Curse"



F*** him and his F***ing hat.

Jed York doesn't see it. John Lynch doesn't see it.

I may tune in to see the MAGA meltdown over Bad Bunny and Green Day, but no interest in either team now playing in the Super Bowl. I'm guessing there will be quite a few that feel as I do, but we shall see. NFL definitely needs good ratings and I don't wish for them to be denied that.

I will never forgive the Rams for that no call pass interference in 2019. The Saints would absolutely have beaten the Patriots in the Super Bowl. I will die on that hill.

However as a Seahawks season ticket holder I found out ticket packages start at $8000. That's for a ticket in the 400 level, a hotel room and Super Bowl swag. That does not include a plane ticket to the game if you need one.

There is the talk about withdrawing the FIFA World Cup or European teams boycotting in protest of what is happening in the US

How much more meaningful would it be if teams boycotted the Super Bowl in protest?

7 or the final 8 were Blue States. Texans were only outliers.
Don’t think that means anything, but Trump
did go ahead and announce his non-attendance when it was down to 4 very blue cities in blue states vying to play in San Francisco.
