Nevertheless, I'm pretty excited for Superbowl LVI: Cincinnati Bengals vs. Los Angeles Rams. Doesn't that sound great? Even though probably nobody expected this matchup to happen.

It'll be a good game, I'm sure. I predict a high-scoring game; neither team has a dominant defense, but both offenses have that Big-Play potential. Obviously I'm disappointed that the Niners didn't make it, but they did make it much further than I dreamed they would. After they started out 2-4, they went 8-3 for the rest of the season. Not a bad finish, and definitely speaks to our prospects next year.

Seriously though, I don't see what he has left to prove that would be worth the risk of injury and/or humiliation in a possibly no-so-great team.

That's what I would be concerned about. His health comes off as a double edged sword right now, i.e. he's healthy enough to play, but at his age he's one severe injury away from ruining the next 10 years of his life. Joe Montana stubbornly played though a bad back injury, and was miserable for years as a result. Playing until your 44 and getting out with your health intact is huge win, even without the 7 rings.

I just saw his tweet, I guess that's all she wrote. What an amazing, historic career, I'm glad I was around to witness it.

It appears those articles that were published about Tom Brady’s retirement were fake news hehe. However, the skeptical me thinks that there might be something being planned behind this. Does Brady want to leave Tampa Bay and force a trade somewhere with warmer weather for his last season? Is he not from the Bay Area hehehehe?

My speculation, Jimmy Garoppolo will be traded to Tampa Bay, Tom Brady will go to San Francisco. NFL experts, is this out of the question?

A report broke Saturday suggesting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback would retire from the NFL after 22 seasons. That report was refuted by Brady's father, and questioned by members of the Bucs' front office, who said Brady did not speak to them about his decision.

Brady's agent, Don Yee, did not refute the report, but said Brady would be the one to announce his plans.

That's not happening. It's more than just moving his family. It will he a brand new coach, brand new coordinators, plays, players, etc. Tampa is a perfect situation for him. If he continues to play it will be in Tampa. I'm sure every team that doesn't have one of the top 5 qbs on their te right now are hoping TB wants to go to their team, more than welcome to play a season on the giants.

Yeah I do not get all of these conspiracy theories about Brady going somewhere else. Why on earth would you leave warm weather Tampa and the greatest receiving core ever assembled (though no longer having AB may make this debatable now).

That said Tom just announced on his instagram that he is officially retiring. So sad to see the legend go, but what a career he gave us!

Doesn't get much warmer than Tampa Bay:

This is the coldest time of the year.

I lived in Tampa for 6 years and right now while my city of Chicago is getting absolutely pummeled with snow and shitty cold weather I do wonder why I left Tampa lol. That being said I think Tom wants to keep playing but he’s facing even more scrutiny than ever from his wife to quit football. She has wanted him to stop playing for years. The thing is he’s got at least 2-3 years left in him and I think that’s what’s driving him nuts inside. I mean dude is almost 45 and he’s going to be the runner up in MVP voting. I selfishly want to see a couple more years but will certainly understand if he retires !

I have to say, after 22 seasons, 10 super bowls, 7 titles, it was due time for him to just retire. He is 44 years old and after playing such a hardcore hard hitting game for 22 seasons, his body must be aching to retire and relax a bit.

He could just go to some beach place, like maybe wherever is more tropical and hot each month, 12 different locations (based on where would be better) and take a whole year off relaxing on a beach somewhere without doing anything, literally wake up get a breakfast and chill on the beach and relax. That could be also done on a yacht as well. This dude deserved to relax but people like him do not like to relax all the time, so I am guessing he may actually take up another thing to work on, even if it is not physical work.

Brady could do it if he wanted, but then we need to wonder why he hasn’t? And to me it is obviuos the guy loves the game and if possible he would never retire, at this point taking into account how well he played at 44 I think we are reaching the point in which Brady will not retire because of a drop on his game but due to injury or his wife and family issuing him an ultimatum.

What a comeback by Bengals. I'm extremely happy that I didn't bet on SB this year, there is no chance I could have predicted this

You arent alone I don't know how you could. Going forward the afc run by the likes of Josh Allen, Joe burrow, pat mahomes, Justin Herbert, etc...gonna be a fun 5-10 years I think watching this division run. Cmon 49ers. Bengles 49ers replay of 1988 who would have thought!!

It will be interesting but at the same time they will block and hinder each other, the NFC also has some talent at QB but it seems that most of QB the talent is concentrated on the AFC, so they will have problems reaching the SB consistently, still as a fan I cannot really complain as I am looking forward to it.

Going to Super Bowl thanks to a kick... that is really not the way to go but hey! they were the ones that took it that far. I really wanted to see Chiefs, Mahomes wasn't horrible to be fair, he did alright but he could have done better and he just took too much time whenever he couldn't seen an option.

I do not know, maybe it was rest of the offense that couldn't get open, or maybe the bengal's defence was way too good, but I rarely get to see QB's taking that much time, so Mahomes could have done a bit better, but I wouldn't put this loss on him. Bengals definitely won this game, Chiefs didn't lose it. By that I mean not like Kansas played horribly and Bengals won thanks to that, Kansas played amazing if you ask me but Bengals played even better, that is how they won.

Lucky you. My bets are a total bust this year. Cheesy

Nevertheless, I'm pretty excited for Superbowl LVI: Cincinnati Bengals vs. Los Angeles Rams. Doesn't that sound great? Even though probably nobody expected this matchup to happen.

A @2.55 on Cincinnati doesn't sound so bad after all. But with my run so far, I'm going to lose a lot of money here. Cheesy

At 2.55 I think it's a real good bet. This one should be almost even to me. The Rams escaped the bucs comeback, barely kept up with a 49ers team who has had trouble scoring. Only real edge i see is the trenches with the Rams d line versus the bengles o line. If the o line can hold together the Rams are going to have issues containing all of the bengle weapons. Should be an exciting finish to the season.

I couldn't see it on the live broadcast but it appears Mahomes had Kelce open in the endzone for a good 2 seconds on their final drive/throw in regulation...and he was looking at that direction. I still can't believe the Bengals made the comeback but that stop they had at the end of the first half was a game/momentum changer. Last week Mahomoes saved their season in 13 seconds, yesterday it took him 10 seconds in OT to throw that second pick...and for someone who was rooting for the Bills, this feels like sweet revenge. No Brittany or Jackson Mahomes for the next 2-3 weeks is pure bliss. lol 2022 is the year of the 🐅 (according to the Chinese zodiac), i'm just saying. haha

49ers with just two second-half TD (offensive) in those three post-season games, it sure ain't enough. I can't feel sorry for them, you can't have the defense/special teams and Deebo bail you out every single time.

Early lean, Rams gonna win by at least a touchdown. The current spread of -4/4.5 is extremely tempting, though i will be rooting for the underdogs once again.

But it might all be moot; now I'm hearing that Brady (and his dad) have come out and said that the news of his retirement isn't true. Maybe Gisele Bundchen leaked a fake story to ESPN? Who knows what's really going on, but I guess we'll know soon enough.

Unless Brady comes out in a press conference stating that he is retiring then I am not believing that guy is retiring, to be honest I think is more likely that Brady somehow gets to an agreement with the Bucs and he is released as a free agent and then he tries to find yet another team to win the SB than this whole idea of retirement, after all the Bucs are set to lose a great deal of veteran free agents so their chances for another SB run will be lower, and now that he has shown his ability to win a SB without Belichick he may find more interested teams than two years ago.

There is more than enough time to relax when your dead, until then your time is limited.

The news broke earlier today; Tom Brady is retiring:

And "Rodgers to Tampa Bay" rumors start immediately.

Which is probably about as likely to happen as "Rodgers to Detroit".

Which players would give a more realistic storyline on becoming Tom Brady’s replacement?

Players that might want to be traded to another team or their teams might want to trade them are Jimmy Garoppolo, Russell Wilson, Derek Carr and also Baker Mayfield?

Free agents who are available are Teddy Bridgewater, Tyrod Taylor, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Covid Cam.

It appears Brady’s replacement will be disappointing if it is not Aaron Rodgers hehehehe.

It will be a bridge player. No one wants to come in behind Tom Brady. So either Tampa Bay opts with a rookie with no expectations or a Ryan Fitzpatrick, teddy Bridgewater type for 2 years while they tank for a rookie qb. There is not a chance Rodgers would want to follow Brady and possibly fail that will be his legacy. Aaron Rodgers best landing spot would be Tennessee. They are built for superbowl now they just need a qb to take them over the top. If he fails no worries there isn't that much expectations. My 2 cents, Enjoy the game today peeps

Yeah, but that's not all. Now that OBJ is also out there, our secondary is gonna have their hands full. But that's just it, if we keep the Rams' offense one-dimensional we'll be able to invest additional resources to keep their awesome wide receivers in check, and give ourselves a chance.

Well, if Garoppolo wins the Super Bowl I don't think he'll go anywhere. If he doesn't, I don't think he'll be staying in SF.

But the real point in favor of the 9ers is our defense has never had issues stopping the Rams running game. That's where the Niners will win the ability to control the game. If they can stop the run, and keep Stafford honest, the offense won't need to score much, and just run conservative plays while running time off the clock. Simple, old-fashioned smash-mouth football.

I don't wanna rain on anyone's parade but if the Niners don't shut down Kupp then its all over.

I think the same could be said of the Rams shutting down debo. Debo can wreck a game in an instant in so many different ways. Cupp as a pure wr is better, but overall debo is the more wildcard and dangerous player on the field. If Rams can't stop the run it will be a long day for the Rams.
