But I don't want to digress from the topic now..

You're not digressing from the topic, this thread is about American Football regardless of where the game is played or watched.  The popularity of the game or the NFL, in the US or other countries is well within the scope.

I like Tom Brady also, even though he's never played for a team that I root for.  I hope he gets his life on track actually sticks with it this time.  I imagine the 49ers would love for him to join as a backup to Brock Purdy, which would be very helpful to the youngster's career, but honestly I don't see that happening.  I doubt Brady would settle for a backup roll, and I expect him to focus on his family for now.  There will be a time when we see him regularly in a broadcasting roll, of that I have no doubt.

Tom Brady posted a video on twitter where he announced his retirement, once again.. But this time he said it will be forever.

Just a quick video.. no long post - no drama!

You can find the post here: https://twitter.com/TomBrady/status/1620772095889403905?s=20&t=aE0c-nBYAVGS0Uqpu6KWtA

Hell of a career!! I know that there are a lot of Brady haters out there but no one can deny what he has achieved in this sport!

His last season wasn't all that great and somehow it was to be expected, much as one didn't want it - at least that's how I felt it. But I also have to come out as a Brady fanboy.
Here in Germany, football has only become popular in the last few years and he was a huge part of that. College football is now being broadcast in addition to the regular season and the ratings speak for themselves.

But I don't want to digress from the topic now.. what do you think about it? Interesting to hear the opinion of his fans and the haters!  Tongue

Sean Payton to the Denver Broncos for their 1st round pick this year and their 2nd and 3rd round pick next year. Crazy seeing a coach being traded and for this much capital. He’s an incredible coach though. He’s an offense play calling genius. I’m glad to see him back in the league.

I bet more bitcoin than I ever have on the Cincy / KC game. I really thought with Mahomes banged up and Burrow just oozing with confidence "Burrowhead Stadium", that it was their game.  Just goes to show how absolutely stupidly good Mahomes is. IMO Burrow is the leagues 2nd best QB and Mahomes more than out played him with far less talent..can't imagine if Mahomes had Chase, Higgens and Boyd. 

FWIW there were a lot of calls that went KC's way and without them, they would have assuredly lost. The last play where Mahomes gets shoved when he was already out of bounds, yeah you have to call that as a foul, but there were some questionable calls before that as well.

As for who's going to win...I'm going w/Philly..that big run Mahomes had towards the end of that game may have really messed him up.  We shall see!

I'm also leaning toward Philly for that reason. KC does have more SB experience, but I don't think its enough to overcome Philly being a better team all-around.

There were absolutely horrible calls in the game. I’ve been hearing it being talked about by everyone all week. It’s insane how complex and “grey area” the rules in the NFL are.  Not to mention their always changing.

What do you think of this superbowl?  I'm not very happy that the eagles are there, I mean they played a good championship but in my opinion the 49ers deserved more, I'm not saying in the play-off game but in general while I agree that the Chiefs are the ones went to the final.  At this point, making my prediction, I would say that Kansas City will win.

It all depends on the health of Mahomes. If he was fully healthy, then I put my money on KC no question. But he seemed to be even more banged up after this last game. He was limping quite a bit towards then end, especially after that long run he had late in the game.

Well today is a new low for the pro bowl.  Tyler Huntly is going to the pro bowl for the afc as one of the quartbacks.  Yep you guessed it.  Flame throwing Huntly who threw for 2 tds and 3 ints...ALL YEAR is going lol.  Why are we even doing this at this point.  It's like some sort of pro-am event with not even the best guys in the NFL.  Pitiful...

Well we now know our Super Bowl..as long as Mahomes is healthy, or at least like 90% of himself, which is a huge if albeit, we should have a pretty solid game on our hands.

I need to frame that screenshot of McCaffrey with the QB play-call wristband on the sidelines.  Grin

For the sake of watching good football let's hope Mahomes' ankle is okay, back to back bad conference championship games will be too much considering how good these were last year...

Too funny.  Feel bad for San Fran on this one but it is what it is.  That afc conference game was awesome down to the end even though it had a flavor of the nfl/refs wanting kc to win this one.  I imagine this isn't the last afc conference championship between these 2.

Two remarkably close games with four great teams...

I'm taking the favorite-double-ML-parlay.

Eagles to win + Chiefs to win

I just feel it, manbros.

Biggest win I had all season.

Some interesting prop bets out there for the Super Bowl  Cheesy



Andrew Tate released from jail, shows nipple -100



Devo - Whip It +10000

Will be a great Super Bowl regardless of cleavage factor.

Line is currently at 0.

I am afraid that Jalen Hurts might fail to perform in the most critical of moments because of San Francisco's defense.
Haha, I'll take that bet.

$5 says Bosa causes a strip sack fumble.  

BTW, do you want your FF winnings or what?

Haha, oh yeah, wasn't on the top of my list.

I'll take that bet and you can hold my winning for collateral. Tongue

I'm in the money...I'm in the money!

Looks like I can retire now! Tongue

Go ahead, twist the knife.  I see how you are.  Cry Cry

what happened to purdy??

He got hit in his throwing elbow, and is out for now.  He's currently standing on the sideline with his helmet on, I'm sure he wants to come back in.  The Eagles just scored again...   We're giving this game away with penalties and stupid officiating.  The Eagles already stole one touchdown.  That 4th down pass on the opening drive should have been revied in the booth, and should have been a turn-over-on-downs.

Rough game for the 49ers.  Watched the second half and they didn't do themselves any favors.  Another tough one was the running into the kicker down 21-7 which turned into a td for the eagles and essentially sealed this one up.  As a giants fan I hate to say this but it's going to take a monster game from either the Chiefs or Bengals.  4 rushing tds vs the best rushing defense in the 49ers.  I'd like to see the Bengals and eagles match up here for the SB.

Here we go! I put some bitcoin down on the Niners (I keep wanting to say San Fran but now I can’t, thanks @direwolf lol). I think the Eagles are the better team but the Niners were at +3 and I just have some weird feeling they’ll pull off the upset.

The Bengals this week went from +1 to -1 to +1 to +1.5 to + 2  lol…I got them at +1 and + 2. Feeling Joe Cool and that team big time. But since I am I’m sure that means I’ll lose my bet lol. Placed the largest bet I ever have this game.

Should be a fun day !!

Good luck chi I have the same bets.  Haven't been able to watch the first half of the eagles game yet been out and about what happened to purdy?? Why did Josh johnsonco.e in?  With that being said has any team ever made it to the superbowl with theor 3rd string qb lol.  Hoping Josh can come through in the second half.  Gonna a need the 9ers d to step up and get a to or 2.  

4th string atm.

I also like AJ Brown's matchup against the 49ers' secondary, which i believe is their weakest link. Metcalf played well on the outside in the wild-card game.

Agreed, but do you not think or speculate that Kyle Shanahan has created a plan for AJ Brown already? Shanahan can be argued as being the best game planners of all the head coaches presently active in the NFL.

Two of the 49ers' four losses this season have come against dual-threat QBs, QBs who can run the ball well: Fields in Week 1 and Mariota in Week 6. I know it was early in the season and under different circumstances, but still... The 49ers have the league's best run defense, but they'll have their hands full with Hurts' ability to run and his designed Redzone runs, which are difficult to defend/scheme against.

Purdy vs. Eagles pass rush is also something to watch, Cowboys' defense was Purdy's first real test, and despite not throwing a touchdown, he didn't give the ball away either, no turnovers. The Eagles' pass rush ranks second in pressure rate and first in sacks, making this another difficult matchup for him.

I got the Eagles and Bengals making it to the owl. Excited to watch both games... Smiley

I have been thinking about this all week and I can't make heads or tails about it.  My guilt says to go with San Fran but I don't know how the pressure of Philly against a real good eagles defense Brock will do.  If they can get McCaffrey going it will relieve the stress but if they stack the box all game daring them to air it out It can be a rough day for San Fran.  Going with SF though
