**** Official Super Bowl LIII Thread: Baby Boomers vs. Millennials ****

[TheCultOfPersonality]

How are you going to have a SB in Atlanta and choose Maroon 5 to perform?:lol

Maroon 5 would've been a terrible choice regardles of city.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Just sell out to stop Gurley at this point, him getting in a rhyhtm is the only way the Rams offense gets going.

Yep, 9 men in the box, and if it's play action maybe Goff will miss the open guy and instead throw a pick.

[Raven]

It's a terrible song. And lol at that take, because it's extremely degrading to females tbh. Especially the Christina Aguilera verse which wasn't included in this edition. But "Sugar" is far worse, it's glorifying the art of gold digging/DDLG relationships, tbh.

But yes, Maroon 5 officially sucks. Though I still will listen to She Will Be Loved, Won't Go Home Without You, Payphone and Animals. The rest of their songs are mostly shitty.

... i mean ... I always found it ironic that only women listen to women degrading pop songs..

[Will Hunting]

halftime shows have consistently been catered for women. and flat ones at that.. (not flatchested)
Yeah I’ve noticed this to, it seems like the way of appeasing women at super bowl parties who don’t watch football.

[Millennial_Messiah]

they still got Duron Harmon so they'll be aiiight I guess at safety

[HarlemHeat37]

halftime shows have consistently been catered for women. and flat ones at that.. (not flatchested)

I meant for rap music, which is Atlanta's staple..women love it, but the NFL tends to have more conservative viewers, have to exclude many potential acts..

[Clipper Nation]

Can't believe people were trying to put Jared Bortles in the elite QB discussion :lol

[Raven]

No way Goff would have recovered from that INT..

would have probably got him loose tbh.. he's still trying to play tournover free football, rather than going for it.

[Will Hunting]

I meant for rap music, which is Atlanta's staple..women love it, but the NFL tends to have more conservative viewers, have to exclude many potential acts..
I would have liked for them to go full blown dirty south thug, have Ludacris play Move Bitch or something like that :lol

[HarlemHeat37]

I would have liked for them to go full blown dirty south thug, have Ludacris play Move Bitch or something like that :lol

Ya, they went the safe route with Travis Scott and his suburban, Kardashian music:lol

[Silver&Black]

Is CBS skipping for anyone else?

[Raven]

they still got Duron Harmon so they'll be aiiight I guess at safety

i still can't believe chung ended up being a good player...

[HarlemHeat37]

Damn, PEdelman has to win MVP, right?

[Millennial_Messiah]

MVEdelman

[Will Hunting]

:lol I’m sorry, but I refuse to think it’s thar difficult to guard an undersized white receiver with mediocre athleticism

[Will Hunting]

WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING EMPTY BACKFIELD ON 3RD AND SHORT

[Will Hunting]

Matthew Slater is easily the GOAT of special teams players

[Millennial_Messiah]

MVP Rankings at the moment:

1) Edelman
2) Slater
3) Donald

[Millennial_Messiah]

:lol I’m sorry, but I refuse to think it’s thar difficult to guard an undersized white receiver with mediocre athleticism
You're forgetting something. Humanity got to the top of the world's ecosystem not with their advantage in size, speed, agility or anything else, but rather their brain power.

Edelman is the smartest receiver in the league, particularly with regards to route running. If Sproles is the GOAT of scatbacks, Edelman is the GOAT of slot receivers.

[RD2191]

What a snoozefest. Boring ass game.

[HarlemHeat37]

Johnny Hecker may have won MVP with that punt:lol

[Millennial_Messiah]

Play of the game!!! 65 yard punt

[Millennial_Messiah]

Pats defense as good as it's been since 2004-05

[Clipper Nation]

This has to be the shittiest Super Bowl of all time so far. Shit game, shit halftime show, shit commercials.

[Will Hunting]

The Patriots MVP for this game should actually be the Lions GM who hired Matt Patricia. If it was him playing cuck ball with no blitzes or creativity the Rams probably have 21 points by now.

Two possessions later after this post, this post still stands.

[Fabbs]

MVP of game so far Rams D.

Retard offense and rookie Goff.
Run a farking play action like the Pats do.

[Will Hunting]

This game would be over if Josh fucking Gordon didn’t do drugs and could still play, the Rams are totally capitalizing on how the Pats don’t have anything close to an outside threat.

[Spurtacular]

E:lmao Shit bowl I

[HarlemHeat37]

This game would be over if Josh fucking Gordon didn’t do drugs and could still play, the Rams are totally capitalizing on how the Pats don’t have anything close to an outside threat.

No outside threat + Brady's weak deep ball..don't know why KC kept giving him those 10-15 yard passes down the middle..

[Mitch]

Poverty ball fans are gonna have a fun time with this shit :lol

[lefty]

Reddit is down because they didn’t play Sweet Victory at HT

True story

[lefty]

:lol american sports tbh

[Clipper Nation]

Goff is so bad, they're announcing complete passes like they're game-winning touchdowns :lol

[lefty]

Omg something happened

[lefty]

Goff is so bad, they're announcing complete passes like they're game-winning touchdowns :lol

:lol

[Millennial_Messiah]

Rams FINALLY in field goal range for the first time all game :wow

[Will Hunting]

Yeah that conversion is going be the turning point of this game.

Not sure how New England is going to get any offense going without any threat on the outside.

[AlexJones]

I live bet OT +750.. pls get 3 here

[Millennial_Messiah]

Good McCourty tbh..

[Millennial_Messiah]

Anderson is quickly approaching Mike Tolbert territory, lmao

[lefty]

:lmao

[Will Hunting]

:lol I can’t remember a QB who’s been this bad in the SB since Rex Grossman

[Clipper Nation]

Goddamn, Zeuerlein is automatic.

[AlexJones]

Pats probably win 13-10

[lefty]

That Rams QB must smell like chicken

[Fabbs]

Pull you head out Goff. :bang

[Millennial_Messiah]

Updated MVP Standings:

1) Edelman
2) Legatron (Zuerlein)
3) Slater

[Raven]

maaaan... if rams win and goff gets recognition for it... good lord.. this is russell wilson levels of bad..

[Millennial_Messiah]

That Rams QB must smell like chicken

It looked just like the famous play two years ago when Deuce got sacked out of FG range when the Failcons were nursing the 8 point lead late :lol

[Clipper Nation]

Pats probably win 13-10
I highly doubt Jared Bortles can even put up 10 at this point.

[Bynumite]

Should just end the game now and have a field goal shootout tbh. Best of 5. Povertyball style.

[Raven]

Yeah that conversion is going be the turning point of this game.

Not sure how New England is going to get any offense going without any threat on the outside.
same as always? pound it to james white.

[AlexJones]

Dorsett deep ball incoming. GOAT play in Madden

[Brazil]

Poverty ball fans are gonna have a fun time with this shit :lol

:lol

[Will Hunting]

I highly doubt Jared Bortles can even put up 10 at this point.
I fully expect a Patriots turnover that gives the Rams a really short field before the end of the game, Sony Michel fumble if I had to guess. That’s probably Goff gets his touchdown.

[HarlemHeat37]

Pats probably win 13-10

Did you see the payout for 0 TDs?:lol

[Raven]

seems reasonable

[Pelicans78]

:lol ok, I missed the first half of that game. I was thinking of the Saints one against the Eagles that completely changed that game. My bad.


I still think the Eagles should have beaten the Saints (Philly was the better team in that game but got bad luck on fluke plays and some bad calls) and probably the Rams too. Should be a rematch of last year IMO.

What the fuck are you talking about. Saints out scored them 20-0 after the first quarter and outgained them 394-94 after the first quarter. They dominated that game and the Saints had way more penalties called against them compared to the Eagles. You sound like a retard sometimes.

[Spurtacular]

:lol I can’t remember a QB who’s been this bad in the SB since Rex Grossman

Grossman was legit terrible. Goff just inadequate.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Q: who has the last touchdown in the Super Bowl?
A: Zach Ertz

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol I can’t remember a QB who’s been this bad in the SB since Rex Grossman

My guy, did you forget 2015 Manning?:lol

[Millennial_Messiah]

:lol oh god, now we have to listen to CN's "Jared Bortles" schtick all year next year if the Pats win

[Millennial_Messiah]

My guy, did you forget 2015 Manning?:lol

but they won, so that's easily forgotten

also, 2015 Manning was the best QB in that particular game, by far

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Romo is the best QB in the Mercedes Benz dome

[Will Hunting]

My guy, did you forget 2015 Manning?:lol
Fair point. I also forgot 2013 Manning :lol

[Millennial_Messiah]

C.J. Tolbert playing scatback :lol

[Clipper Nation]

And Goff kills the drive already.

[HarlemHeat37]

Fair point. I also forgot 2013 Manning :lol

I forget that that SB even happened, tbh:lol

[Raven]

oh dammit

[Clipper Nation]

I forget that that SB even happened, tbh:lol
Tbh, that Super Bowl was memorable for Scam quitting on his team and then melting down like a two-year-old on the sideline.

[Will Hunting]

Tbh, that Super Bowl was memorable for Scam quitting on his team and then melting down like a two-year-old on the sideline.
He was talking about the SB where Manning and John Fox lubed up their assholes before the game and told Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson to have fun.

[HarlemHeat37]

Tbh, that Super Bowl was memorable for Scam quitting on his team and then melting down like a two-year-old on the sideline.

I was referring to the 2013 SB:lol literally haven't watched a single highlight from it since it happened..

[Millennial_Messiah]

just bleed the clock, get the ball to near midfield, stall out, punt, rinse and repeat :lol

[Spurtacular]

maaaan... if rams win and goff gets recognition for it... good lord.. this is russell wilson levels of bad..

Yet Brady will be GOAT plus if Pats win? :lmao

[AlexJones]

Rams favored.

[Millennial_Messiah]

That penalty needed to happen, otherwise the punt would have been at the 20 instead of the 40 :lol

[313]

maaaan... if rams win and goff gets recognition for it... good lord.. this is russell wilson levels of bad..
The legend of Tom Brady started in a SB where he had 92 yds before the final drive and he won MVP :lol

[Raven]

this is looking like a loss tbh

[Clipper Nation]

He was talking about the SB where Manning and John Fox lubed up their assholes before the game and told Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson to have fun.
Oh, you're right. My bad.

[HarlemHeat37]

This terrible Rams performance could legitimately win a SB:lol might be favorites right now..

[RD2191]

Oh just let them play. Boring as fuck

[Fabbs]

PatsRef coming thru

[Raven]

Yet Brady will be GOAT plus if Pats win? :lmao

he'd probably get less recognition tbh :lol

[Clipper Nation]

Another garbage call.

[Spurtacular]

Patrefs don't take plays off.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Another penalty that needed to happen, otherwise the Rams might not punt after all :lol

[Clipper Nation]

:lmao 100% late hit is called if it's Brady.

[Spurtacular]

Goff has a noodle for an arm. That wasnt gonna get me my over 38.5 yd completion bet for Goff. :lol

[Will Hunting]

:lmao Goff had like 2 guys wide fucking open on that 2nd down, this is a historically shitty performance.

[HarlemHeat37]

Goff misses a game-changing play, huge blow..

[Raven]

:lmao 100% late hit is called if it's Brady.

when do you see him run like that to the side?

[HarlemHeat37]

James White time..

[Will Hunting]

That show Big Bang Theory is finally going off the air? Thank fucking god.

[Spurtacular]

Smh. Just bet under on 15.5.

[Millennial_Messiah]

That show Big Bang Theory is finally going off the air? Thank fucking god.

Agreed, it's garbage, just like the big bang theory itself tbh.

[RD2191]

That's game

[Clipper Nation]

Rams defense is gassed, this shit is over.

[HarlemHeat37]

My body hurts just from watching Gronk play football:lol man is going to have terrible senior years..

[Will Hunting]

Gisele always looks really angry, I’ll bet she gives a mean blowjob.

[HarlemHeat37]

Best TE of all-time, even this reduced version of himself..

[Raven]

FUCK YEAH!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Just need them to score 1 more time, win by 8 and it's the perfect day for my bank account:lol

[DMX7]

The only thing that will make this game worse is if the Patriots win.

[redzero]

Is the game entertaining? I hope not, for obvious reasons.

[HarlemHeat37]

Is the game entertaining? I hope not, for obvious reasons.

I wouldn't watch it if I was a Saints fan, insult to injury with how bad both teams are playing:lol

[RD2191]

Pat's will win with a field goal tbh

[Raven]

D MELTDOWN IN 3...2...1..

[HarlemHeat37]

Only good thing about this game is that the refs haven't tried to steal the spotlight.

[RD2191]

Rams need to score quickly or milk the clock

[RD2191]

Bum ass

Could definitely see a careless turnover by New England on this drive.

[lefty]

Damn, studios and companies pay $$$$$$$ to promote their stuff during this shit show?
:lol

[Capt Bringdown]

They don't call it the Super Bore for nothing...

[Raven]

still not over though

[Will Hunting]

Or they just run 3 straight shitty plays and give the Rams great field position.

[Raven]

Damn, studios and companies pay $$$$$$$ to promote their stuff during this shit show?
:lol

it's even better, because nobody will remember anything about this game, so the ads will stick out more.

[Barfunk]

Robert Kraft, a real owner. Jerry Jones should be ashamed of himself.

[lefty]

it's even better, because nobody will remember anything about this game, so the ads will stick out more.

Good point tbh

[TheCultOfPersonality]

So basically Jared Goff is the Super Bowl MVP.

[lefty]

Gonna celebrate with Kraft cream cheese bagel

[Spurtacular]

Yea, ring counters all about shades of gray. :lol

[Mark Celibate]

I have a weird hunch the Rams will score a last minute TD, and McVay being the edgy, new age Millenial that he is will go for two, win, and get fellatio'd for life

Romo you dumbass, they're in FG range so they have to accept.

[Will Hunting]

Romo you dumbass, they're in FG range so they have to accept.
At this point I think they made the right call by gambling and hoping Gostkowski misses. That’s a better option than getting the ball with no time left.

[redzero]

This might be the perfect Super Bowl. I can always count on the Patriots.

[Spurtacular]

Should've accepted penalty. Pats were not gonna converts 1st and 20 without passing. Now this game comes down to goalline play.

[HarlemHeat37]

Take the FG Bill!!

[Spurtacular]

Looks like patrefs gave them about 8 inches.

[Barfunk]

This is a gimme

[Will Hunting]

Should've accepted penalty. Pats were not gonna converts 1st and 20 without passing. Now this game comes down to goalline play.
If they accept the penalty it’s another down and 40 more seconds off the clock so they’re getting it back with <30 seconds and no timeouts. I’d rather take the risk that the dumb pollak kicker misses than pray for a Hail Mary to work.

[lefty]

Game over

[Millennial_Messiah]

Most boring, predictable, anticlimactic ending to a major sports championship game you could possibly write. Shame on Goodell for being such a boring faggot.

"The five teams that beat them didn't even qualify for the playoffs. Hard to imagine."

Not really. They play in the weakest division and in the weaker conference.

The most interesting thing to happen in Atlanta on Super Bowl day, is a British rapper, I never heard of, being arrested for overstaying his welcome.

Maybe there is a God. :lmao

Greatest franchise in the history of American professional sports..

No other run compares to it..

No NHL team has ever dominated in the modern era..

The Yankees didn't have a salary cap, and the Lakers had the benefits of being the Lakers..

I don’t think he retires. I think he and the Patriots agree on more of a niche role where he takes a pay cut but is on the field for less snaps while they draft a tight end early to be the #1 tight end.

I don’t think he retires. I think he and the Patriots agree on more of a niche role where he takes a pay cut but is on the field for less snaps while they draft a tight end early to be the #1 tight end.

I'm not sure if Gronk will put his banged up body through another year on a significant pay cut. He'd make at least that much acting.


Pats skill players are bad other than Edelman who's on the wrong side of 30 himself. That line is criminally underrated, particularly the interior of Thuney+Andrews, gotta shell out money to keep both locked up... they're gonna need an outside WR and eventually a TE and backup QB... can't get all that in one draft... but their secondary is excellent, though the McCourty's are contemplating retirement as well.

[Trainwreck2100]

Man, I'm not even old but when I started watching football I thought the Patriots were some Canadian Football League team. I'd never heard of them, and they were irrelevant at the time. Fast forward 19 years later, and Belichick/Brady are tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers for most Super Bowls of any NFL franchise. I can't believe they individually have more than the Cowboys, Packers, and 49ers. Insane

[Millennial_Messiah]

I must admit, that SB championship/Lombardi music track, that is played every year at this point, it gives me the real chills...

It's not about making football ugly they took advantage of the deficiencies of the young entitled players on the other team. Basketball would be "ugly" too but the league change the rules to make that same type of player succeed.

I'm calling it... Jaylon SB MVP next year with 12 tackles, a pick and a sack that knocks out Brady for half of the following year..

[Millennial_Messiah]

:lol Joe Torre. Baseball managers set the lineup and then pick at their ass for most of the game until a relief pitcher or pinch hitter is needed, he shouldn’t even be in the conversation.

Especially AL managers. NL managers at least have a case.

[FrostKing]

Score a goal in the first 5 minutes play like cowards the next 85
You just watched 3.5 hours of cowards

Poking fun at 85 minutes

[Spurtacular]

soooooo ... sony michel winning it?

You must not've seen Edelman out there :lol

[Trainwreck2100]

No I didn't

[Millennial_Messiah]

Chiefs-Rams would have been a better SB... it's fun to watch Brady add to his legacy as the goat, but it's not good football... yes, Chiefs-Rams MNF in Mexico City midseason was the game of the year by far and away.

Scores (inflated American belly style)

World Cup final: 28-14
UEFA final: 21-7

Stuper Bowl: 7-0
Don't you have some riveting 0-0 ties to watch while running up your "pub tab"?

by the way... congrats, Will Hunting / Raven / monosylab2k / but I lost a little respect for you guys for doubting the Pats all year long...

Btw Hightower was huge tonight, if he wasn’t injured last year were probably talking about a 3-peat.

though, if he made that relatively easy pick 6 - the game is over before the 4th quarter

[Spurtacular]

If they accept the penalty it’s another down and 40 more seconds off the clock so they’re getting it back with <30 seconds and no timeouts. I’d rather take the risk that the dumb pollak kicker misses than pray for a Hail Mary to work.

FG kicker wouldve missed and good field position with only having to get one score.

[Millennial_Messiah]

no, they would have punted, but there would have been closer to 40 seconds - not 20 like Romo incorrectly stated. Though with a punt they're either pinned back deep or start at their own 20, either way with no timeouts.

[HarlemHeat37]

I'm still in shock that Zuerlein missed that kick:lol I haven't had a day this good in a minute, tbh..which charity should I donate to?

They wouldn’t have kicked a field goal, they would have punted and pinned the Rams deep with <30 seconds and no timeouts left.

Doesnt matter because they lose either way, but there’s not a chance New England attempts a 50+ yard FG in that position.

the only thing that would have made that game halfway decent is if he were to make it, they recover an onside kick with 1-2 seconds left, pull off the miracle hail mary and go for 2 and win

35-40 seconds most likely. They start at or inside the 20.

The game was lost on the last big play when they allowed Burkhead to break that big one. Otherwise they're looking at getting the ball back with around 2 minutes left and at least one timeout + possibly the 2 minute warning, plenty of time.

[HarlemHeat37]

I had Zuerlein miss that kick + Westbrook completely melting down in the final 10 secs to help get the -3.5 cover as parts of this 10-leg parlay:lol one of those days .

22/16/12 and lost in regulation. Boston had a heck of a day in sports.

Still more ideal than making it two score game even if that's how it all went down.

Pats may have been tempted to throw a screen on 1st and 20. Stuff like that are x factors.

[Raven]

you always have to shit the pats D, it's a rule or they get complacent.

agreed, I disagreed with McGay's decision. Not to mention the fact that the Pats did gain 4 yards on the play on 1st & 10. If the Pats are further backed up then yes, decline it. If the Pats are only up 1, 2, 3 or 4 points then yes, decline it. But when the FG essentially ends the game - you sell out to stop it at all costs.

Pats secondary is elite, the front 7 isn't good but they have the GOAT coach scheming the defense... Brady pretty much schemes the offense.

[Millennial_Messiah]

At least the NFC East (not you, Redskins) gets to celebrate that they beat the Pats and the L.A. Lambs didn't (twice). Also, the Seahawks and their fans can breathe a little easier after tonight.

[Spurtacular]

Damn, that game actually made me wish the Saints won the NFC Chamionship.

[Raven]

the lead cameraman

Handegg :lmao

41 year old unathletic nerd is your goat :lmao

Povertyball :lmao

A midget who quit on his own country is your GOAT :lmao

I don't think the game was as boring as people say.

No, but the offensive deficiencies were glaring.

Indeed. GMs run baseball teams and hand down strat to the managers. Epstein is probably the GOAT. Baseball is also more player centric, anyway. You can't "call a play" for Mike Trout. He has to figure out the pitcher himself.

Yeah I’m not really sure what baseball managers do for the first half of the game. They also rarely go to the bullpen until after the pitcher gets shellacked and it becomes a no brainer decision, it’s not like when Popovich calls a timeout right before the other team is about to go on a run.

Alex Cora last year is maybe the most impact I’ve ever seen a manager make. It seemed like he regularly pulled a pinch hit home run or pinch base clearing hit out of his ass whenever he needed it.

[midnightpulp]

:lol thinking Messi is the goat

Could be talking about Maradona, who is a 5'2" chubby midget. Fagnaldo doesn't belong in the conversation, poor advanced stats (the only soccer thing I'll look at). I understand why povertyball fans pimp him, though. He's one of the few who have something resembling muscle mass and "looks athletic" despite being slower than Prince Fielder and having a lower vertical than Warren Sapp :lol

[Millennial_Messiah]

Absolutely. No way Breezus gets shut down like that. Not saying the Pats couldn't have won, but it would have been more offensive and fun to watch.

There's really nothing a baseball manager can do to affect on-field play, since they can never have a better viewpoint of the action than the batters/pitchers/catchers (I would say catchers are the de facto managers on defense. Best view of the action), where in football and basketball, coaches have more of an omnipotent perspective. If batter is getting shutdown by inside sliders, not much a coach can do to "get him going" by calling a set play or something. As you said, best they can do is make reasonable relief pitching and pinch hitting decisions and hope they work.

In the NL (and AL in part of each world series) managers make a lot of extremely important situational personnel decisions pretty much throughout that directly determine who wins or loses.


AL managers, except for the world series, have it extremely easy. They pretty much have a one-page set of solutions that they already pre-decided on in March and only slightly ever have to tweak all year.
