Were there any commercials that didn’t have any blacks in them? Maybe the Bruce Springsteen commercial? I only made it halfway through the Springsteen spot before I was overwhelmed by the urge to go back into my office and approve Comments, so I can’t say for sure.

KC is getting hit a lot by penalties.
Both of TB’s tds involved Gronkowski.

So far, the MVP for the Bucaneers is … the Refs. The Kanas defense is gunning for a penalty record.

However, people who believe the World should be turned on its ear for a pandemic that is no worse than the Asian Flu, who believe that America is riven with systemic racism and that BLM/antifa street action is a reasonable response to it, or believing that America has the right and obligation to bomb the living f**k out of anywhere, any time, for any reason, and to stick it’s nose into the business of every other nation on Earth – including to push the Tranny-agenda – all that is not “extremist”.

It wasn’t KC’s defense acting as a turnstile for TB pass rushers.
It wasn’t KC’s defense that convinced MahHomie that his little 11 year old Puerto Rican mustache actually made him look older and not silly.
Ugh, it’s that time of the year. I remember Franco Harris. My dad regarded me with newfound interest when I asked if Harris was named after the Spanish leader.

I haven’t watched a Super Bowl in years, but I was in a restaurant a few hours ago when it was starting, and what I saw on the screen looked like something from idiocracy, and I hate it when people talk about that movie like it could be real.
Super what?
Do white people still watch that thing?
The presence of gang-banging, empty-hoodie scamming grifter Calvin Broaddus in the Puppy Bowl is tedious.
Hey, everybody: welcome to the new normal. To wit
–Social justice crap from the CBS commentariat.
–Cardboard cutouts instead of fans, and fake crowd noise.
–Young, very healthy players wearing masks on the sideline.
–Slathering praise for “essential workers.”
–No Star Spangled banner. (Sorry, even though our flag WAS still there!!)
–Ads with numinous upper middle class black people with tastefully decorated houses and high end cars.
–The players’ helmets with stupid slogans.

I don’t follow the NFL but I hear that Americans will consume 80 million pounds of guacamole and 1.2 billion wings today, so that’s what I made for dinner, much like you might make a corned beef for St Patrick’s Day or stir-fry bat for Lunar New Year.
I do know from having WFAN on in the bathroom this morning that today’s keys to victory as usual include controlling the line of scrimmage, moving the chains and winning the turnover battle. Also putting the other team in 3rd and long, at which point (and this is a new one for me) “you need to defend top to bottom.”
Greetings Esteban,
A few observations
– Gronkowski is the best all-around tight end of all time
– The half-time performer being named “The Weekend” seems like an example of on-the-nose focus group naming conventions (maybe we should call him “Calls In Sick to Work”)
– Mahomes can easily overcome a 21-6 deficit. He has Aaron Rodger’s skills combined with a hall of fame coach
I just watch highlights now but Brady got a bunch of 2nd and 5s while Maholmes was stuck with 3rd and 8s.
I’m only watching to see how woke the ads are, and so far it hasn’t disappointed
Here’s a fun game: in every ad, look for if there are any white men, and if there are how they are portrayed.
Problem is baseball is almost as cringeworthy. Nowhere to go but to read, learn and improve your own life instead of watching trash.
The Super Wokeness Paroxysm? No I don’t expose myself to things like that, it isn’t healthy.
I’m surprised they allowed two Alpha White connection touchdown’s to interrupt this worshiping of blacks church service.
Or a Mexican hot dog.
Saw a little of the pre-game ceremonies. They had an award ceremony for “front-line heroes” or some such. It was introduced by some no-talent “poet” declaiming in coffee-house poetry-slam style. I think maybe it was the same young woman who spoke at Biden’s inauguration-behind-the-razor-wire. Speaking quickly with occasional pregnant (and pretentious) pauses doesn’t turn word-salad into poetry.
No more sports please this weekend, as I had to watch Mizzou’s b-ball game on a feed that included the TV ads. Where the heck did all the white people go? There were a few white guys here and there — including at least two with black wives.
Also a cute Progressive ad with two college-age white gals drooling over a nice young black guy in the laundry room. (Until Flo steps in and thank God ruins the mood)

Bucs just kicked the 52-yarder to make it 31-9 as I post this. Tough from here, but still winnable for KC. I hope Mahomes throws like four interceptions instead though, just to rub it in.
Here’s the half time show.

Earlier this week the defensive coordinator had a car accident in KC and a little girl is now in a coma as a result. He happens to be Andy Reid’s son and seems to have a bit of a troubled history. When the story hit the news I had a feeling they wouldn’t be winning.
Some of those players must be thinking about the little girl. Who can blame them?
And you might recall that Reid's other son died of an overdose. That was about 8 years ago.
They just flashed on a luxury box and talked about the families of officers they invited from the January 6th attack on the Capitol.

Fuck all of them. BLMANTIFA rioted for 120 days straight. They killed dozens. They stole and destroyed billions. They were wholly controlled by the Democratic party as part of an effort to destroy Donald Trump and the half of the country that support him.

They might file a hate crime against Tom Brady for winning. “We need a winning quarterback who looks more like America.”

It was a very good Halftime Show.
Aunt Flo to the rescue
Highlight of the night= Beavis & Butthead in a commercial.
My Super Sunday media moment gem was a youth-sports advocate on WFAN radio warning parents about problem gambling — when suddenly there was mumbling, shuffling and dead air — filled at once with an ad for all the in-game parlays you can hammer at one of New Jersey’s new legal sports books.
From a purely football perspective-
Kansas City is very good, Tampa is on another level tonight.
– Tampa has a really good pass rush that gets home…they got stronger and stronger during the game
– Tampa’s linebackers are excellent rushing, even moreso in coverage over the middle
– Tampa was able to punch it up the gut because their offensive line got a push for their great backs
– Tampa’s secondary took away the deep threat all night, great all-around coverage and many PBUs
– Agree that Gronk is all-time great, if a bit hampered by injuries….the guy has soft, sure hands, runs tight routes, still has the speed to separate from coverage, and yet he’s still strong and tough enough to blank defensive ends all night long…just a great TE all-around…
– That Brady guy on Tampa is still pretty good…still able to throw NFL-level darts few others could
– Underrated – Tampa is very well-coached and disciplined…very little slop or dumb penalties…Arians is underrated as an NFL coach

Jim Nantz is announcing. I used to know him. He gave me the scoop on Brett Favre then.
As I said before, Tom Brady is the story. He is proving tonight that he was the essential ingredient in New England’s success.
My wife says it’s the diet Gisele Bündchen has him on. I say it’s Gisele herself.
Diet, schmiet. At the moment, hot chicken wings and Jalapeño poppers are du jour here – and Smirnoff has a new flavor of vodka, Spicy Tamarind. Very nice.
The new flavor has made its appearance in our local stores. I happened to walk in on a rep’s presentation at one store yesterday. I was sold, so now I will add my little voice to his marketing effort. It’s a meme, man!
Maple wood burns nicely in the fireplace. If you stack it right, it just lights itself. It snowed today, so I had to go out and use the snowblower before the game. Better than last week’s snow, which was heavy, like mashed potatoes. That’s what we called it when we were skiing, mashed potatoes. Briggs & Stratton can barely blow it with one cylinder.
I know we here don’t really want to watch sportsball and especially the NFL’s biggest party, but here we are. Chalk it up to tradition. Oh, I’m sorry, is this virtue signalling, like leaving a proper tip?
Two minutes to go. 31 to 9. The CBS score graphic says “TB” for Tampa Bay, but it might as well stand for Tom Brady.

What are they, 14% of the population on at least half the commercials? Knock it off, media assholes. You’re wearing me out.
Worst commercial was Bruce Springsteen’s aspergery Jeep speech about “coming back to the middle.” Maybe he should practice what he preaches, and demand that of his plastic surgeon. The Boss has gone under the knife a few too many times. Like Michael Jackson, his face looks like a skilled surgeon did the best he could with a burn victim. That’s not good.

You know, there are guys (around here) who actually go to the trouble of “going to the opera” and “playing golf,” when, if they really could think about it, deep down, they would realize they are doing these things just to prove to themselves, and perhaps to others, that they are somehow more than ordinary.

We arrived at kick-off so unfortunately I missed the black national anthem. Seriously.
Nothing else about the game interests me. I’m so sick and tired of:
• the USAF flyover (and the cut to our “protectors” serving halfway around the world).
• comparing banal commercials (that first, Quicken Mortgage was good, and those relentless, streaming pitches were awful).
• talentless halftime performers (at least that guy could sing in tune).
• idiotic commentary. “Boy! He really wanted to make that catch.” I think the color QB actually needed the Harvard announcer to help him out on subtracting 9 from 22.

At the end of the day still comes down to dominating the line of scrimmage. As I predicted here a couple weeks ago in that Jim Kelly conversation. Saw it play out tonight.
I just watch highlights now but Brady got a bunch of 2nd and 5s while Maholmes was stuck with 3rd and 8s.
GRONK became first ballot hall of famer tonight. The other thing that strikes me is the only one single person in the universe who feels sorry for Bill Belichick right now is Bill Belichick.
1. the second they flagged Mathieu for unsportsmanlike conduct this game was over.
2. it is a shame the Chiefs were too wussed or whatever to even make this a close game.
3. early in the season the-fix-is-in-guy said the fix was in for Brady/ Bucs this year; then with three weeks left in the season he totally chickened out and reversed himself.
4. the Buccaneers won three road playoff games to get to the Super Bowl. They also were three consecutive underdogs vs. Saints, Packers, and Chiefs.
5. I would have enjoyed this much more if I was even 50% convinced it wasn’t fixed but I’m not.
6. last year the 49er’s were up by two touchdowns near the start of the 4th quarter and I was thinking the Chiefs have them right where they want them. This thought did not occur to me for one second this year.
7. I can clearly remember last year at the end of the game and the 49ers had it 1st and 10 on their own 15 with 2:00 left and a touchdown wins it and Greg Poppa told us radio listeners “this is the exact same situation Joe Montana and the 49ers were in the day Montana played himself into the hall of the fame.” He really maybe kinda should not have said that. I doubt I will remember anything about this game a year from now including which teams happened to be in it.
The guys who do the Buccaneers Red Zone defense are stellar.
Analytics consider Gronk the best TE ever by a substantial margin. His enshrinement in Canton has long been assured.
He backed off because he thought the NFL fixing it for the Bucs this year would be too obvious. Also the rising star beats the setting star narrative that they could have used with a Chiefs victory.
However, he pointed out that Tampa Bay winning the first home Super Bowl when everyone is supposed to be staying at home would have been good propaganda. And in the latest post on his site
(thefixisin.net), he speculated that there was no way the NFL was going to hand the trophy to Andy Reid right after Reid's son was in a drinking related accident that left a small girl in a coma.
Greatest NFL player of all time…and it’s not even close.
More rings than ANY TEAM in the NFL.
The old “can’t win without the Patriots system/Belachick” thing went down in a smoking heap.

Maybe this Modelo commercial? https://twitter.com/dpinsen/status/1358594869875335174?s=21
There were some fun bets on this game, like this one about the result of a KC drive. Obviously, by that point in the game they weren’t going to punt or kick, so these odds looked mispriced even before the boost.
“Worst commercial was Bruce Springsteen’s aspergery Jeep speech about “coming back to the middle.””
#194, agree with you there.
The most unusual add had to be Reddit’s. Their 5 sec ad ran 3 times during the game:
It referenced their user’s, specifically WallStreetBets, “power to the little guy” effect on the financial markets last week (GameStop, GME, as well as a few others, stocks).
Quite comically what was Reddit users once loved, now despised, broker of choice, Robinhood, also ran an ad during the Super Bowl. I’m guessing the Robinhood ad was paid for prior to last weeks PR debacle: Robinhood, billed as the “little guys” broker, was outed as a tool of Citadel hedge fund. Robinhood had been set to go public prior to last weeks events, not such a sure bet now.

GRONK became first ballot hall of famer tonight.
Analytics consider Gronk the best TE ever by a substantial margin. His enshrinement in Canton has long been assured.
I really can’t stand Patrick “Da Future” Mahomes, so I had this huge aww crap feeling when the Bucs went for it on 4th and were stopped on the goal line, thinking to myself that, in hindsight, this might be looked upon as a turning point moment. But that didn’t happen so it really wasn’t a memorable game at all.
I too am a man of simple tastes but I cannot stand the spicy alcohol. I prefer Jim Beam. I’ve tried Bulliet and Knob’s Creek and Gentleman Jack and have liked them all just fine but I still prefer Jim Beam and the price is right. Sometimes I think even the price of Jim Beam is too much and try Evan Williams, but inevitably the next bottle I buy is Beam. Someday I hope to take in an opera but I won’t be full of regret if I never do. Tomorrow is my day off so I’ll sip some Beam and try to turn my mind off from the noise.
A few observations
- Gronkowski is the best all-around tight end of all time
- The half-time performer being named "The Weekend" seems like an example of on-the-nose focus group naming conventions (maybe we should call him "Calls In Sick to Work")
- Mahomes can easily overcome a 21-6 deficit. He has Aaron Rodger's skills combined with a hall of fame coachReplies: @Desiderius, @Danindc
Reid was awful. If you can’t keep your kids in line how are you running a team? His timeout before halftime is an all time blunder.
Hockey is still fun. Golf too. Baseball can be saved.

Didn’t watch any of the pre-game dreck and waited for the kick off, omitting the usual insipid national anthem and, especially, the Blackety-black “National Anthem” as well as those dopey commercials. It was sure a pleasure to watch Brady, a surgeon in shoulder pads and cleats, work over the Chiefs.
Funny you mention that. Ya know, Jack, Romo is a tad punchy, anyone else getting that? He needs to get his throat looked at too, sounds like he got slugged in the adam’s apple or somethin’.
White guys have moved on to sports that require strength and endurance, not just explosive speed. Watch Crossfit.
- Tampa's linebackers are excellent rushing, even moreso in coverage over the middle
- Tampa was able to punch it up the gut because their offensive line got a push for their great backs
- Tampa's secondary took away the deep threat all night, great all-around coverage and many PBUs
- Agree that Gronk is all-time great, if a bit hampered by injuries....the guy has soft, sure hands, runs tight routes, still has the speed to separate from coverage, and yet he's still strong and tough enough to blank defensive ends all night long...just a great TE all-around...
- That Brady guy on Tampa is still pretty good...still able to throw NFL-level darts few others could
- Underrated - Tampa is very well-coached and disciplined...very little slop or dumb penalties...Arians is underrated as an NFL coachReplies: @Prester John
Home run. Didn’t follow TB during the season so I didn’t realize how good their defense was until the playoffs. It’s possibly the best in the NFL. They did a great prep job–Mahomes looked lost at times. As to Brady, though he can’t throw deep very well anymore, he can still throw short and mid-range, and one of his TD passes was the proverbial frozen rope. The best qb there ever was. No doubt about it.

“early in the season the-fix-is-in-guy said the fix was in for Brady/ Bucs this year; then with three weeks left in the season he totally chickened out and reversed himself. ”
He backed off because he thought the NFL fixing it for the Bucs this year would be too obvious. Also the rising star beats the setting star narrative that they could have used with a Chiefs victory.
However, he pointed out that Tampa Bay winning the first home Super Bowl when everyone is supposed to be staying at home would have been good propaganda. And in the latest post on his site
(thefixisin.net), he speculated that there was no way the NFL was going to hand the trophy to Andy Reid right after Reid’s son was in a drinking related accident that left a small girl in a coma.

Spices are good, and sugar is good (BTW, all of these “spicy” liqueurs (and that’s what they are – liqueurs) have tons of sugar. In a dessert for children, not in alcoholic beverages consumed by adults.
BTW again, if you want to feel really really lousy after drinking alcohol, you should drink lots of spicy liqueur with lots of sugar in it. If you want to feel have decent the next day, do as the Russians do and drink a high quality (need not be expensive) vodka with food at a measured pace and make sure you have lots of water before going to bed. Or drink wine – it has at least some health benefits.
If you MUST have these sweet spicy things, then dilute them with vodka so that the sugar level is bearable. You’ll get the same taste if you cut 1 part of liqueur with 3 or 4 parts vodka without the ridiculous level of cloying sweetness.

If you have a claim to be the best player in the NBA, you really ought to win the title at least twice, and be Finals MVP at least once, probably more. Jordan won 6 finals MVPs. Football is somewhat more random. QBs don’t play defense and are on field 45% of the time, while NBA stars are on court 80% of the time.
For example, if you have an argument over who is the second best football player of all time, I could see making an argument for Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees, despite them each only winning one Super Bowl. And then it’s very hard to compare quarterbacks to players at other positions: e.g., at least you have lots of stats for Jerry Rice, but what about for Reggie White or other candidates for greatest defensive player ever?
In basketball, in contrast, by the end of the NBA Finals, the guy getting the Finals MVP trophy is probably clearly the best player in the league.

“I would say Russell, DiMaggio, Mantle, and Ruth were better than Brady at their respective sports.”
not even remotely close. they were mediocre players who played when sports weren’t nearly as good. in smaller sports than football that are less difficult than football. none of them would be any good right now in 2021. we might as well talk about Jack Nicklaus or Rocky Marciano or Rod Laver.
“Jordan’s championships are quoted because he went 6 for 6 in the NBA Finals”
that’s the usual dumb basketball fan argument. what was Jordan doing the other times he wasn’t in the finals? getting beat, that’s what. what was Jordan doing when he was 40? being a second rate player on a second rate team. why wasn’t he MVP at 40 like the actual best athlete ever in any sport, Tom Brady? why doesn’t Jordan have ANY all time NBA record? not points, not championships, nothing. why didn’t he just go directly to another team after the Bulls and win the NBA Championship again? i thought basketball was “less of a team effort”, in your words.
“He had to go through the Bad Boy Pistons, Stockton and Malone, etc.”
weird. the Celtics and Pistons beat Jordan over and over, keeping him, you know, from going to the finals. i guess that’s better than getting to the finals – not getting to the finals. Jordan had to wait for the Celtics and Pistons and Lakers to be over before he could get to the finals and win. Jordan lost and lost and lost for 6 seasons straight until his main rivals were too faded to beat him anymore. then he beat the Jazz, a team nobody considers to be one of the best ever. Michael Jordan could barely beat garbage teams like the Cavaliers when he was in his prime. Tom Brady came into the league and won 3 Superbowls in the time it took for Michael Jordan to get to his first NBA finals.
And if you can't compare across time, of course you can't say that anybody is or was better than anyone before or after them.

And, now, it is time to hang traitors….just like my grandpas in Finland in 1923: execute the Communist traitors; they shot the traitors, the “Reds/Punaiset.” And, amazing peace and prosperity arrived in Finland because trade was fierce and people all over Europe, needed goods.
Most Americans are too dumb to realize that Finland was just a territory, a land, swapped as war bounty between the monarchies of Russia and Sweden for almost a thousand years until 1917. We are the oldest, indigenous white population in the world – 12,000 years.
Finland was always poor, always backwards…until they got in the world’s face in 1939. Bravest country in the world.
Finland never had kings nor chieftains – very similar to Crow, Cheyenne etc. So, they still have an attitude that the rest of Europe and Scandinavia is full of corrupt, degenerate and hostile peoples. Hahhaaaa – just love this part of the Finnish culture!
Just so happy that Finland does not have DUMBS or child-trafficking systems embedded in their land – probably because there was never a monarchy/royal family of degenerative pedos and sexual deviants in their lands – We kicked their asses out in 1939! hahhaaaaaaaa!
Finland was lucky in some ways to be caught in something of a no-man’s land between the West and the Soviet Union until the 90s, which allowed it to avoid the traps that Sweden and much of western Europe fell into. Unfortunately, Finland is catching up, even with the examples next door and all around. How smart is that?
I was last in Finland about 5 years ago, and saw a group of black rapper look alikes walking a Pit Bull, on what looked like a logging chain, through the common area of either Sokos or Kluuvi. And it’s not just limited to Helsinki. On the same trip, I was driving in the countryside north of Lappeenranta and saw a black kid in full ghetto outfit walking down the road. Lots of Finns claim to want it that way. The female Lutheran minister who baptized my children certainly seemed happy with the opening of Finland. I’m not sure what to make of it all.
From what I can tell, there is also lots of talk about the past mistreatment of the Reds. Is it possible that a movement for reparations could take hold? I could see a certain type of Finn buying it, if not just yo feel modern as and international?
The problem with Finland is that too many young and middle-aged Finns believe that their generation created the system and prosperity, and are dying to give it all away to migrants and through foreign aid, for a pat on the back from the international crowd.
