I know. One.


Gotta hand it to those Iggles - even during the Super Bowl years they often socked it to my Jints. Kudos to them for their successes.

Well, been struggling with this, two pretty darn good teams, seem to be evenly matched all in all.
Gonna go Niners 28-10. Niners got crazy speed, speed is a huge asset, think it's going to be the difference maker. Moment is too big for Mahomes, gets rattled from the day and speed. Jimmy G sticks it in the Pat's asz and wins the SB.

Kudos to KC for the SB win - their first in 50 years.



Early in the game I was kinda distracted by my chicken dinner which was so good so as to die for. Nice comeback late in the 4th by KC sealed it. I've seen every Super Bowl since the 1st one and it never stops being fun.

Was pretty close for 54 minutes, went to hell in a hand basket the last 6 though.
Chiefs are tough to beat for 60 minutes.

Right wingers condemned Kap for supposedly insulting Old Glory. So now let's see them say the same about tRUMP for insulting the Anthem during his drunken rage:

I don't quite get it - report is that Vikings say 'thank you' to Rhodes and Joseph:

https://www.vikings.com/video/vikings-s ... ier-rhodes


How do you thank anyone and then cut off their contract and its money???

That's one thing that has always been consistent about this league - it never shows any loyalty to the players. Under any other circumstances, you are expected to keep your word. Somehow, the billionaire owners in the league are never under that rule. If you have any integrity at all, keep your word!

New England Patriots drafted a white nationalist

Rohrwasser was asked about what appears to be a Three Percenters tattoo on his left arm during his introductory conference call. The Three Percenters are a “far-right militia movement and paramilitary group.” “I got that tattoo when I was a teenager,” Rohrwasser said. “I had a lot of family in the military, and I thought it stood for a military support symbol at the time. Obviously, it evolved into something that I did not want to represent. When I look back on it, I should have done way more research before I put any mark or symbol like that on my body. It’s not something I want to represent. So, it will be covered.” Rohrwasser was selected 159th overall in the fifth round. He started his college career at URI.

Since the league and its right wing supporters all condemn Kaepernick for supposedly being unAmerican, let's see all of them condemn this clown for his treason. He should be black balled and never allowed to play in the NFL.

Are you talking about this kind of treason?

Treason is the only crime defined in the U.S. Constitution. According to Article III, Section 3:
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.



So a tattoo now equals treason in your book? I don't think a tattoo can levy war against the US so I guess the enemy he's giving 'comfort' to is a “far-right militia movement and paramilitary group” and his offense is displaying one of their emblems on his arm? Is that right? Please explain because the suspected enemy very clearly pronounces that they ARE NOT a militia and they ARE pro-government and pro-constitution.

And he's a white nationalist because some reporter says so? https://www.inquisitr.com/6020094/jemel ... ohrwasser/

Outside of 'liking' or retweeting social media posts (that the reporter probably disagrees with) AND wearing the tattoo of a national organization (that again the reporter probably disagrees with), where is the clear evidence of actual white nationalist activities on the part of the man? Is there any? The reporter doesn't produce any but simply claims guilt by (very, very limited) association. Being in favor of the 2nd Amendment, supporting Pres Trump, or having a Gadsden logo on your shirt doesn't make one a white nationalist.

There was no evidence that Rohrwasser has any actual ties to the far-right militia group, or that he has shared any white supremacist sentiments during his college years. - Inquisitr


The Kaepernick story is old news. He did what he thought he had to do and the league moved on, without him, twice. Good riddance.
