For the NFL fans here. Just because we've had no football to talk about for 10 months. The only thing we have is the NFL. I want to at least talk about football. The Chiefs look like the real deal again while the Texans look like also rans so the football world is unfolding the way it should. They had 15,000 fans at Arrowhead Stadium this evening & the social distancing & masking didn't look good. I think they should have played the games this season without fans in the stands. If anything derails this season it'll be Covid. If a lot of fans get sick the season will be over. 

Very sad story on the eve of the Super Bowl. Aside from the distraction for the Chiefs and their coaching staff, a real human tragedy that could have legal consequences.

Just sad - especially the fact that he had previous DUI contacts and still had a driver's license.

What's sad is that Britt Reid has been given many chances to change his ways in the past but hasn't been able to do so. Many more chances than a lot of people with drug & alcohol issues get. Like going from a drug addict to Linebackers Coach on the Chiefs because of who his father is. Continues to make poor choices in life like mixing Adderall, alcohol & getting behind the wheel injuring two kids. I don't think being the son of Andy Reid will get him out of this. 

Britt Reid crash: Andy Reid's sons' sad past reemerges (nypost.com)

Reid other kid suicided.

 

At this point, I am going with Brady.

go Brady!

No testing yesterday by either the Bucs or Chiefs, obvious that they don't want a positive result and a player being ruled out, supposedly they will be tested today but when will the results come back and will we have a player being taken out of the game.

Yes you are correct, I misread the story on what type of testing that both teams did, they opted for an on site rapid test

no predictions?

 

tampa bay by a field goal. that is mine.

Do like either team, hope for a good game, KC by 6

It's sad that Andy Reid's time he spent away from his family as an NFL HC caused such strife in his home. Dad being away so much coaching football & missing special occasions, family birthdays, Christmas or even his 2 sons high school games came at such a cost. They look around & see other Dads in the stands but theirs isn't as he's too busy with his team's players & it's tough.

I can relate as my father was a small business owner & an alcoholic. He was also was never around & would be gone for days at a time & my Mother & I would not know where he was or if he was even alive. Was he lying dead somewhere??  It wasn't uncommon for him to go missing from Thursday at noon to when he came home for lunch to Saturday night or Sunday morning. When he was around then my parents argued about the times he wasn't. I had a hard time trusting others because I could never trust that my father would keep his word he'd be home that night or that we'd be going on that fishing trip the next Saturday when I was a kid.

You get ****** up when you can't trust your father as a 10 year old. Or seeing your Mother crying because she thinks her husband is dead or we have no money for food because Dad is drinking it all away & he's the only bread winner in the family. It affects you the rest of your life. So, I have sympathy for Britt Reid but he is an adult now & hurt 2 innocent little kids. He should go to jail.

 the promoting, hyperbole, chest thumping, thanking for what you do, and self congratulating going on today in  NFL land is unwatcheable.

what a mess.

It has to be said......

WTF is this half time show in the hall of mirrors? 

 

I preferred the JLo/Shakira one to this, but this isn't terrible. It's not my kinda music but I can get into this. Nice to see a Canadian kid in the biggest promotional stage... 

Also, Gronk is such a freak of nature. Has there ever been a greater red zone producer? 

Also also, Tom Brady is just ageless. It's like Roger Federer... Until he quits, nobody will be able to take him down. The closest thing to Michael Jordan in any other sport... 

KC no answers on O no answers on D

Brees. More continuity with offense. Brady didn't get a chance to play live reps that a preseason would bring. I also think they are a better team. Bucs will get better as season goes on. 

I remember. 

Not a fan of Brady but I can appreciate what he has done and what he did today, he truly is the greatest QB in the history of the game

I can't believe a fan actually ran onto the field

not qb, greatest player.

also, one of of the greatest pro athletes.

 

Crazy stat from that football show on 1290:

Mahones had 497 scramble yards behind the line of scrimmage, trying to buy time - Brady had 13.  I didn’t even watch the game, but that’s difference right there - as usual.

Trenches dominated by the Bucs. 

One OL goes down for the Chiefs in the AFC Championship game & suddenly three have to change positions & a shitty backup has to start on the KC line. The NFL has bigger rosters & expanded practice squads & they didn't have a guy ready to step in & play? That cost them the Super Bowl as the Bucs ate that KC line alive. Mahomes was running for his life on every pass play. the NFL monopolizes players & when just one is needed they can't deliver. 

KC actually had their other starting tackle hurt in october and a starting guard about half way through the season so technically 3 backups. They also have tried to get away the past few years with a Chevette OL for their Ferrari QB.

Hearing the Salary cap could drop significantly for the next season, going to be some interesting moves

Funny how some teams do not learn that lesson - one would think it should be an automatic fundamental when it comes to team building.  

It was an asterisk season with covid and specifically the SB due to some drunkard asst. coach. Not surprised.
