Onto the next season. Go Patriots, Rams win*, Bengals and Burrow are the real champs.

[Meclazine for Israel]

Not the result I wanted, but nonetheless a good game.

[bagelman]

We have had 2 superbowls in a row where the "heel" team got home field advantage and won.

I had no faith in the Bengals to win because of their disaster of an o-line. They made it to the Superbowl through underdog magic and fought against an overrated team, but that o-line is not championship material.

2 bad superbowls in a row. 2 unlikable Divas in a row (Antonio Brown and OBJ) getting rings. OBJ going to inspire Nick Chubb to leave Cleveland or something similar. The stacked deck wins. The rich get richer. Not even in the realm of fun and games may the smallfolk experience the thrill of victory.

The Bills would have eaten that Rams "performance" alive, but they lost in round 2 due to dumb luck against a team of choke artists. Hell, the Titans probably would have won. So would the Chiefs.

I really dislike that a team can have home field advantage during the superbowl. It's not fair, especially as the SB is never hosted by certain cities per their own standards. The NFL needed to have a backup so that didn't happen. Say Jacksonville or Miami gets the "backup" if Los Angeles (either team) gets in, and that would have happened this time. Last Season, Los Angeles or Houston gets the "backup" if the Buccs win so they don't unfairly get homefield.

The backup site idea is completely impractical. You would have a change of site with two weeks before the game in this year’s situation, and cause a huge economic loss to the city it gets moved away from.

Sucks seeing Stan Kroenke win a Super Bowl trophy. F**k that backstabbing a-hole for what he did to St. Louis!

Yea, you're right. I just don't like it. Hopefully we won't get three of these situations in a row.

It's in Arizona apparently. So if they play like they did at the end of this season, no chance.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

The Rams can win next yr AZ is home to us too even if Donald retired, we still have Von Miller everyone underestimated Von Miller and Ramsey


WE. LOST IN 2019 AGAINST PATS DUE TO NO COOPER KUPP

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Warriors are gonna beat the Sun's in the Playoffs and best whomever come out of the East when they had Durant as well as Splash Bris they lost only 1 or 2 games in each series they only went 7 against Rockets and Rockets are DONE.


Warrior 5 Finals titles L2
Lakers 8 L2
Giants 3 World Series L1
Dodgers 2 World Series L2
Rams 2 SUPERBOWLS L2
NINERS 5 SUPERBOWLS L2

CALI IS THE HOME OF DYNASTIES, TOO BAD OLD SCHOOL WARRIORS ARE BACK

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Take that Grumps, you lost Rams won, hey, hey goodbye, thanks to Bengals they beat the Chiefs 💖😁😁😁😁

Yeah man, I'm crushed.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Warriors have the Sun's on the horizon so they may or may not win win

It looks like Von Miller is likely to leave but even WITHOUT Von there is no Brady anymore the SUPERBOWL is in AZ and we can win again next year, AZ is our 3rd Home after SD, SF, Vegas, and then AZ, if we make it next yr against Titans whom we should of faced this yr the Rams can win again, Titans can beat the Chiefs and they shouldn't have lost to Bengals, Titans beat the Chiefs in the Regular season they beat us but that was before Rams playoff run
.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Don't forget Rams fans were crushed when we lost to Pats that's why Goff is gone too he lost 13/3 to Patriots and could not throw long passes😁😁😁

[bagelman]

The NFL is worse then ever because of bad officiating. The taunting rule is a total disaster. NFL owners are some of the worst people.

[AelroseB]

Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but Michele Tafoya has retired, and she's moving on to politics--serving as vice chair for a Minnesota GOP gubernatorial candidate, and with an expected appearance before CPAC, this year.

Always interesting to see the person behind the media image, whenever athletes or other sports-involved persons leave the industry...

What about the bad officiatials in Pats v Rams or many Pats games over the yrs which gave Brady pass interference calls and he didn't earn them of course officials are rigged it was rigged during Jordan era too

That pass inference call made up for the heartbreaking loss we experienced during loss to Pats in 2019 Superbowl, HA

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

The parade is Wednesday it is gonna be 😎😎😎 the Rams were in Disneyland not Disney world yesterday, Cooper Kupp is better than KELCE

Cooper son was playing with Microphone when he was speaking that' was Cool 😎😎😎

Sucks seeing Stan Kroenke win a Super Bowl trophy. F**k that backstabbing a-hole for what he did to St. Louis!

Sorry, St. Louis got exactly what it deserved for getting into bed with that backstabbing a-hole Georgia Frontiere (and John Shaw). Hooray Stan Kroenke! Best owner in sports!

I honestly can't stand any of these owners.

This is how awesome Matthew Stafford is he went to Joe Burrow and congrats him, Stafford pitches with Clayton Kershaw he is no scrub at all Burrow is, Stafford will be MVP of the League 1 Day and clinch HOF, some people think Stafford is a scrub he's not he is a HOF QB, just like Mahomes, Eli Manning, and Big Ben

Stafford will win the Superbowl if Aaron Donald or Von Miller stays with Stafford not Goff they only need 1

I'm not the biggest fan of the owners either, I just like pointing out the blatant hypocrisy whenever people in St. Louis (or the midwest in general) vilify Kroenke when they received Georgia as the conquering hero in 1995.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Great parade for Rams like I said the retirement talk of Aaron Donald is pure rumors because Von Miller is a free agent and Rams are over the salary cap and can't sign Miller and Donald to brand new contracts, everyone is staying except for Miller probably goes to Steelers

Matthew Stafford speaks just like Clayton Kershaw his best buddy and Kupp said this is for Kobe, they have strong wives that's behind them that gives these athletes their voice and victory speeches they don't make them themselves their wives help them with it

Brian Flores, who was fired by the Miami Dolphins as head coach under very questionable pretenses, got hired as the LB/Senior Defense Assistant for the Steelers.

Just another reason why the Steelers are one of the best organizations in football.
