Traditional 'Go, Pats!' Super Bowl Thread

My big sister is a U Mich alum so I adopted Tom Brady years ago. Also, if Brady et al win this then lots of youngsters can claim to have seen the GOAT at quarterback. Otherwise, we are harking back to Joe Montana, who could play a bit himself. (Unitas and Graham were before my time, but obviously dominant in their era.)

Boo Patriots.

Boo Falcons.

Boo Halftime.

Kick Goodell between the uprights.

[matt, deplore me if you must]

deuxieme?

[windansea]

I put the Pats at +10 because they have been there many times. I'm gonna root for the Falcons cuz underdogs.

Have fun!

Also going with the under which is 58 I believe.

[Threadkiller]

Maybe Gaga brought the drones to keep an eye on Jastremski and McNally.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

I don't really have a favorite, and I am not watching because of Gaga and Goodell.

However, if the Falcons win it will be a nice story. If the patriots win, I will be happy because Bob Kraft and Tom Brady stuck with their friend, Donald Trump, and that shows some degree of character.

[Jim Eagle]

Go Pats!

My good friend Triggerjoe was the QB at Navy when Ballino was there and young Bill Belichick was 12 y.o taking photos of the team using a Brownie camera. All that kid knows is from watching film after film everyday of his life. No one knows football and the minutae of it like Bill. I will never bet against him.

Falsons are formidable but if they can beat the Pats then the deserve notieriety as one of the great SB teams.

[Buford Gooch]

Grown men battling for possession and position of a ball just doesn't do it for me any more. I used to watch for the cool commercials. Now too many of them have gone PC, so that's not fun anymore either. Now, it's just a good excuse to eat some fun food and drink adult beverages.

[Jim Eagle]

...Bellino...

[Account Deleted]

Another reason for me to root for the Pats today.... the world's Greatest Raider, Howie Long, has a son, Chris, who's playing DE for NE.

Another connection. Have a great game Chris. You sacrificed a lot in your years with the hapless Rams.

The Long family: ONE CLASS ACT!

[sbw]

Expect the Pats. Want the underdog Falcons. Who needs the halftime.

Who needs Super Bowl commercials: Budweiser means even less to me now that A-B lies about its origins to virtue signal. Snickers live at the beginning of Q3 will pique interest.

[Jim Eagle]

KK,

Well, Howie is a Mass boy so why wouldn't he be Pats all the way.

And a good guy who never gets enough of credit for his football anaysis on the TV shows.

[Account Deleted]

Rooting for Brady... alum of nearby Catholic high school power Serra HS. Rooting for Julian Edelman, a superstar alum (was a QB) at Woodside High in the South Bay.

And....the possibility of seeing the Dolt Commish having to hand the Lombardi over to the Belichik/Brady Axis of Evil will be just too tasty to be true.

May you nestle with goats the rest of your days, Roger.

[buccaneer morgan]

Exactly the busch patriarch came her legally, its now called america but managed by inbev

[Account Deleted]

Mike Strahan did a decent job interviewing Lady Gagger. Her selflessness and patriotism was allowed to shine through. (/sarc)

[daddy]

Pamela Anderson, Julian Assange an Item?"

What an odd, odd world.

[Janet ~ an obnoxious Trump supporter]

Buford Gooch,
Exactly the same for me.
The commercials have become little leftist sermons.

[PD]

That dimwit that VDH responds to gets the Swiftboat story 100% wrong;

Amazing how many people incorrectly think that "to be swiftboated" means something different from "to have the truth told about you."

[Another Bob]

Howie's wife is kinda hot too.

[DebinNC]

I can't root for any team that starts with Dem-centric "New England". After WI went for Trump, Go Packers! Ditto Steelers. But any team from CA and MA are anathema imo.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

daddy,

The Reddit guys have convinced me this is the best time line. So of course Pamela Anderson has a thing with Julian Assange.

Either that or she's carrying messages from Trump. Take your pick.

My dream is that Lady Gaga is booed when she makes her "statement." I am not watching so will see what Twitter has to say.

[Another Bob]

DebinNC, hate to break it to you but Steelers owner Dan Rooney is hardcore dem.

[Janet ~ an obnoxious Trump supporter]

Think of all the marketing departments that are wrecking companies...
Rainbow Doritos for Dan Savage's organization.
Target - men in women's dressing rooms.
Bud bashing Americans that want security.
Maybelline & CoverGirl using men dressed up as women as their makeup models.

[DebinNC]

Trump won PA. That's enough for me to think very well of the state and its football fans.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Janet,

My theory is that the surveys used to make those ads are from the same companies who told everyone Hillary would win.

[Captain Hate]

PD, It regularly breaks my irony meter. Every time I see or hear somebody talk about the "debunked" Swiftboaters I immediately challenge them for specifics. I might have a longer streak than DiMaggio.

[DebinNC]

... except for the Sandusky State contingent.

[daddy]

Howie's wife is kinda hot too.

How many Howie's we got? Not Howards, but Howies?

Howie Long.
Howie Kurtz.
Howie Carr.

Who else?

[Another Bob]

To be clear, I was referring to Mrs. Long.

[daddy]

Miss M,

I just got to the hotel and may sleep thru it if I can't motivate, but what are the odds in Vegas on a Halftime Show wardrobe malfunction?

Have they made wardrobe malfunctions mandatory yet for the Super Bowl?

[Beasts of England]

Overheard at our Super Bowl party: I don't know anything about Lady Gaga, but she's gotta be better than Coldplay.

Ouch!

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

daddy,

I am more concerned about a drone malfunction, since she is supposed to have 200 drones swirling around her.

Any wardrobe malfunction she has will be intentional. Example: her meat dress.

[Captain Hate]

... except for the Sandusky State contingent.

I hate to break it to you but the yinzers who cheer for the Stoolers are evenly divided between Sandusky State and Pitt. And the Rooneys are just horrible people.

[daddy]

Howie Mandel.

4 Howie's. Do I hear a 5th? Going once, going twice...

[Jim Eagle]

Oh, what the hell.

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/444620/american-politics-wealth-prosperity-liberty-texas-california-doomsayers-tom-wolfe

[Jim Eagle]

Sorry about that. Wrong link.

Now I don't remember whcih link i wanted to post.

Senillity onset.

[daddy]

Yeah Miss M.

And how come her meat dress is on display at The NEWSEUM? They can cover Lady Gaga's meat dress, but not a million people marching for Life outside their front door.

[Howie]

Don't forget me !

[JimNorCal]

Someone else posted this but I want to also.
Really, really excellent profanity (no, really, skip if you can't take it but it flows in a fine natural stream), a cameo by Milo and a theory about twitter throttling (h/t Dilbert).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAAUD7jtFas

Why is twitter throttling and facebook shadow banning important?
Dems don't have the presidency.
Don't have and won't get the Senate.
Don't have and won't get the House.
SCOTUS is slipping away.
State gov'ts have been decimated.

So what do they have left? Trolls on rightie blogs, leftie lawyers and judges, MSM and mobs of crazies.
The use of social media will be key to the Dems. They need to build the perception of "everyone hates donald". I think MissM suggested more Trump rallies. That might be one method to debunk and push back on the meme.
But, seriously, I think they've fallen back to hoping we all are sayin' "hey my neighbor was wearing a pussy hat so I think I'll get off the couch and go torch a university building or two".

[Stephanie Deplorable Beeotch]

Message from a GEMA friend to his district...

We would appreciate that from 6-10 pm tonight you all please try the following;
1. Not to steal anything.
2. Get along with your spouse. YES, you can do it.
3. Drive cautiously and sober and not have an accident.
4. Refrain from loud noises that disturb your neighbors so much they call 911 (unless cheering a FALCON score of course).
5. All other acts that lack general common sense and generate 911 calls.
We all want to witness history here in Georgia this evening. "RISE UP"

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

daddy,

I didn't know that stupid thing was at the Newseum. Just goes to show you h they try to shape the culture.

Bah. Hope they all end up eating out of trash cans, including Lady Gaga.

[maryrose]

Bowie Cosell

[Captain Hate]

If Brady wins MVP I hope he wears a MAGA cap when accepting the trophy.

[JimNorCal]

btw, thanks Sandy for posting my image!

jor duda TEH WATCHER, et al-- check it out. Really. All the top trolls are going for it this season. All of them.

[maryrose]

Howie Cosell

[daddy]

Maryrose, I think Cosell was a "Howard."

Judges?

[henry]

Howard Cosell. Never Howie.

[maryrose]

Howie. Doody

[Janet ~ an obnoxious Trump supporter]

So what do they have left? Trolls on rightie blogs, leftie lawyers and judges, MSM and mobs of crazies.
The use of social media will be key to the Dems. They need to build the perception of "everyone hates donald".

SO true.

[maryrose]

Atlanta this is your moment.
We in flyover country salute you!

[Stephanie Deplorable Beeotch]

"hey my neighbor was wearing a pussy hat so I think I'll get off the couch and go torch a university building or two".

Some chick at Kroger this morning had one on. We were both going for a cart and I just looked her straight in the eye and shook my head and told her "You go first, I don't like being in front of of crazy people." She was a bit taken back, but said, "I support women's rights, don't you?" I said "Not when the ones marching are batshit crazy and should get a clue about reality and just fuck off and quit their virture signalling insanity and expect me to approve of it. Have a nice day!" Two aisles later she was on the phone with someone outraged that I told her to fuck off...

All around a nice start to the day.

[Momto2]

Halftime should be interesting (I won't be watching.) Rumors are there will be drones, a tribute to Muslims, a bashing of President Trump, and more.....

There are hashtags to boycott the entire Super Bowl, boycott the halftime show, and boycott the various advertisers who think they need to lecture Americans about things.

There is even a hashtag for turning off the halftime show and praying for our country and our President during that 20-30 minutes.

(I will be walking the dogs, and then replenishing the snacks.)

Hooray for the mute button!!!

GO FALCONS!

[JimNorCal]

Liberals, "People are sick of you."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kJh0B4_yxE
A group of Asian kids, black kids, etc dis Libs because Libs dump on poor whites while they sit in their cushy university corner offices.
"You guys are the real racist ones".
"Step out of your bubble".

Profanity alert, but excellent. From Trump Fan Network? Maybe MissM or Porch are familiar with it.

[lyle]

Don't ever go changin' on us, Steph. 👊😎

[windansea]

I see lots of opinions but not very many numbers

[cheerleader]

in the video he mentioned Generation Z and said they were more conservative than their parents. It is the first I've heard about Generation Z

[art in newport]

I say 'Howard'. Even Dandy Don never called him Howie.

[windansea]

Put up or keep being JOMers jajaja

[Howie]

Steph - Just so !

What does one do when a bully takes a shot at you? Take a shot right back. Bullies crumble, because well, they are bullies.

But, we've got truth on our side.

We've got right on our side.

We've got beauty on our side.

Now, go out there and win this thing for the gipper !

Win this thing for every man and woman who came before us, to endow us with the greatest country in history.

Go out there and win this thing for every boy and girl yet to be born, so that they too may be the beneficiaries of the most noble experiment, the most unorthodox effort at self-rule ever known on the planet.

Just do it.

With a happy heart, a smile on your face.

After all, Those Who Are No Longer our Countrymen (TWANLOC) are just a bunch of pussies.

MAGA !

[cheerleader]

Madonna must be green with envy about Gaga doing the show.

[gentlejim]

Howie Doin? No....

Steph,
Allow me to buy you a virtual 🥃. Well done.

[Jim Eagle]

My world famous award wiinning chili is just about done along with my Mexican corn bread and our famous Rustica pizza. What more can you want: Duval beer, Greay Goose shots, Kali Hart chardonnay and lots of nachos and queso salsa.

Life is good and it goes better with friends.

Everyone is famous on Super Bowl Sunday.

[JimNorCal]

Yay, Steph!!!
And agree about the Gen-Z, cheerleader. Never heard of it. But I fwd'ed that link to our liberal NYC lawyer daughter and our liberal college student daughter for their edification. I wonder if they've heard of Gen-Z or not.

[DebinNC]

Have his MSM acolytes made the trek to BOzo's to get his picks for tonight's game? Must be strange for him after 8 yrs. of fawning attention.

[peter]

I was going to root for the Pats because of Brady's MAGA hat, but then today in church the deacon was saying what a great guy Matt Ryan is, a BC alum, yada yada. I guess I am just going to root for a well played tied.

[windansea]

yummm wish I was there!

[Beasts of England]

Sounds yummy, JiB!!

[lyle]

Kali Hart -> Carmel Valley, I believe. Good job, JiB.

[DebinNC]

I just hope it's a well played game without crotch grabbing, head butting, anthem ignoring shenanigans that reflect badly on the whole team/s.

[Beasts of England]

World-class gentleman and fellow Huntsvillian John Stallworth. Woot!!

[JimNorCal]

I was at the weekly coffee shop meet-up of my 3 chess buddies on Friday. We've worked together at tech companies and played chess for decades.
One of the guys started the conversational gambit "Do you think there will be a coup?" Then he whipped out his phone to display a pizza that was half American (bacon and hamburger), half Mexican (jalapenos and some other stuff) separated by a mozzarella wall.
I was pretty blunt, they are in no doubt as to my sympathies... One other guy joked "Who's gonna pay for the mozzarella wall?" He seemed informed and mostly on my side. Which was welcome and a bit surprising.
The fourth guy said he didn't think Trump should cut off student aid to Berkeley because the riots were by outsiders not students.

I'm gettin' riled, testy and ornery. No one is safe :)

[Another Bob]

And a better receiver than his running mate Swann, Beasts.

[cheerleader]

BOR wasn't as insufferable as usual.

[JimNorCal]

Took the shortest family member to her youth symphony practice this morning. It took place at a local community college. Saw this posted on campus.
Another data point of the Dem agitation taking place in the venues that they still dominate.

[Beasts of England]

Damned right, Another Bob, but he is so unassuming that he never sought the fame or the spotlight like Swanny...

[peter]

OK screw the whole cast of Hamilton

[Stephanie Deplorable Beeotch]

Thanks guys... if you're going to wear your pussy hat out in public to continue your virtue signalling, beware of blowback. :)

Doing BARBQ, Brunswick stew and cole slaw and dill pickles so dilled they make your teeth squeak.

Just the two of us to watch the game.

We've still got to paint the trim on one wall in the living room after the game and move the furniture back. :( Then next weekend it is on to the fireplace. Gonna sheetrock over the brick above the mantel and stacked stone tile below with marble over the top of the hearth and more stacked stone tile to the floor.

Looking at this:

https://www.lowes.com/pd/Desert-Quartz-Ledgestone-Natural-Stone-Quartz-Wall-Tile-Common-6-in-x-12-in-Actual-5-9-in-x-11-81-in/3477519

Or maybe faux air stone in a light color.

The new gas logs (originally $349 marked down to $50 a Lowes last weekend) get installed by a pro this week. I'm going to farm that out instead of risking blowing the house up.

[JimNorCal]

"Midnight release"
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2017/02/04/midnight-release-again-178-page-fbi-clinton-email-document-release-with-interesting-content/#more-128144
"Internet researcher Katica has again discovered the FBI quietly, and without explanation, just released another batch of documents from the “ongoing” FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email use and classified information. This is release #6, and interestingly this release is titled “part 06 of 06” so there might not be any more. However, this batch is quite a bit more interesting. ... Like release #5, the #6 release is not visible directly, but is downloadable to review. ... It’s weird how they are doing this; whoever “they” are."

[Another Bob]

Just me, or is this pregame the most social-justicey pregame in history?

[Beasts of England]

Nice voice!

[peter]

he was under!!!

[JimNorCal]

Sorry, forgot to remove the hasttag more from the link, thus it goes directly to a scary image of Hillary.
Pair of scary images, actually.

Just scroll up from there..

[peter]

more political correctness, this may be unwatchable--screw Coke too

[Stephanie]

ATL wins the toss!

Go Birds!!!

[JimNorCal]

Sigh.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit early Sunday denied a Justice Department request to stay the suspension of the president's immigration order.

OK, signing off to allow JOMers to enjoy the spectacle.

[Jim Eagle]

Still wachting golf from Phoenix. Webb Simpson just let a put on the lip to win. Back to the 18th tee for the 3rd time.

Let me know when Brady hits Edelamn for a 15 yd. pickup.

[Another Bob]

JimNorCal, that was just the emergency part of the stay. Hearing is tomorrow.

[gentlejim]

Steph,
A friend of mine did the stacked stone that was a little darker than your sample a couple years ago and it looks great. Your light sample looks good also. Have fun and watch your fingers. Don't forget eye protection.

[glasater]

I put the Pats at +10 because they have been there many times. I'm gonna root for the Falcons cuz underdogs.

Geez, Wind.. I'd take you up on that bet if I were closer.. ;-)

[Janet ~ an obnoxious Trump supporter]

Good for you, Stephanie.

[Jim Eagle]

Golf is getting very interesting. BAck to the 18th tee for the 3rd time.
208,000 people watching, more than in Houston.

[Stephanie]

Thanks, GJ. I'm excited about finally getting that room into shape. The fireplace wall is all built in bookcases, so the example pic is pretty much what it will look like finished. Hubs just saw my choice and decided tile to the ceiling instead of sheetrock above.

[Beasts of England]

You're watching golf at your Super Bowl party, JiB? :)

[Jim Eagle]

Steph,

if you ever need help, Mrs; JiB is ASID adn NCIDQ

Of course it takes forever.

[Stephanie]

Thanks, JiB. I'll keep her in mind.

[Beasts of England]

Trey Flowers, who just made a big play for New England, is another Huntsvillian. Woot!!

[Stephanie]

Who had no score after the first quarter?

Wow

[deplorable new lurker]

I don't remember all these ads for the Super Bowl. AND they are ALL so PC!! Disgusting.

[Janet ~ an obnoxious Trump supporter]

Leftist sermons.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Heh. I bet the ad companies thought Hillary was going to win, too.

Wrong.

[Beasts of England]

I've been getting beer and guacamole during the breaks. Glad I'm missing the SJW bullshit...
