Becker update V1.3.2
How America was neoconned into World War IV
Well, that’s a first. The host city will have the home team in the game. The defense against the Packers pulled Brady’s fat out of the fire. Now, who will be the opponent…
Well it’s clear as day that Belichick owes 100% of his success to TB. The Trump curse again. Brady never stabbed Trump in the back while Belichick did with his snubbing of Trump and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. But it’s fitting he turned it down because TB showed Belichick never deserved any accolades.

Yes and no; yes, Brady was the perfect QB for Belichick 's offensive ideas( They most likely wouldn't have won as many Super Bowls with Drew Bledsoe ), but Bill still built and designed the offenses ,with Charlie Weiss ,and other coordinators, Brady - as smart and talented as he is - couldn't have.Replies: @ScarletNumber
Going for the Bills. Woke sports media doesn’t like their quarterback Josh Allen and it would be bad for the league from a ratings and hype perspective.
Just saw a commercial for the show CBS is featuring after the Super Bowl. A remake of the 1980s series The Equalizer starring Queen Latifah. These people are beyond parody, how much longer can network TV keeping going like this?
Jimmy crack corn, and I don’t care.

Super Bowl XIX was basically a home game for the Niners, who beat the Dolphins back in January 1985. Stanford stadium is less than 50 miles from where Candlestick Park was located.
I’ve never followed football, but this is the first year since the late 1970s, I think, that I have no idea who even one of the two teams in the game might be.
And they’re playing it today, apparently?
Huh. Whouda thunk it?
Oh, did they play it already? I must have missed it.
I haven’t watched much football this year. Whenever I have it is all anti-white racism and BLM lies in the commercials.
Still, Tom Brady making his 10th Super Bowl is pretty amazing. Congratulations to him.
So I have a rooting interest in favor of Brady - his success makes the same people who hate me and those like me very, very angry (out of sublimated admiration and embarrassment arising from a sense of their own inferiority).
Lots of media sob-sistering about the Packers.

By the way, when is this guy going to retire? He’s already 43. I’m old enough to remember when late 30s was considered the upper limit for a QB.
The guy has a really cool story. He was cut by the Packers in 1994 (couldn't compete against Favre) and ended up bagging groceries. In 1999, he got signed by the Rams and ended up winning a Super Bowl in his first season.

5. Greg Williams was still working in the NFL until week 15 this season when he made a bad call at the end of the Jets Raiders game and got fired the next day. My reaction to that was "Greg Williams still had a job?"
Anybody notice who had their hands over their hearts during the anthem and who didn’t? In both games?
Brady has done it again. Ten superbowls in 19 yrs as a starter.
If Brady wins SB LV, he will be first QB to win a SB championship with both the AFC and the NFC.
There never should have been any doubt that Brady was the one responsible. Belichick was originally a defense guy anyway.
Just stream it from some pirate site. You can watch things you enjoy and still stick it to the transman.
I’ve been watching and paying attention to the commercials for the first time in forever. Someone watching who didn’t know would think the US is 50% black. TPTB seem to still view things in the old black and white way. People note the frequency of interracial couples on TV but I didn’t see too many.
How can anybody at this point not think that Tom Brady is the GOAT? The guy is 43 years old, went to a new team, new organization, new coach, and new city and led them to the Super Bowl right away. Even if he loses in the SB he’s still the GOAT.

The one newsworthy bit about this dying ritual is that advertisers are running away from what once was the biggest advertising event in the mass media calendar out of confusion over what will and what will not offend cancellacious consumers.
I am just in dumbstruck awe at what Tom Brady has achieved.
Last weekend 28 million watched the Sunday divisional playoff games; in 2014 44.38 million watched the Cowboys Packers divisional playoff.

The use of advertising to “normalize” the numinous blacks and miscegnation is one of the most insidious psyops going, and no one, and I mean NO ONE, discusses this trend as outright propaganda in polite company. It’s only noticed in terms of “isn’t this wonderful that we see all this kumbaya racial mixing.”

But it’s the furthest thing from my mind now. I don’t know how any white man–really non-black man–with a sack would watch that shit. Steve’s “Super Bowl” and i thought … they’re still playing that?
Why hasn’t it been renamed the Blacks Lives Matter Bowl?
When I read (didn’t watch) Biden’s speech, I perked up when he quoted St. Augustine (maybe ironically) on what defines a people is shared values. But I was quite disappointed he didn’t say the obvious about what that is for today’s Americans: Football.
Which is most ironic, since the Packers play in the only one of the 30 NFL counties to go for Trump.

He is the greatest but he played a terrible game. How the Packers could not capitalize on 3 interceptions is beyond me.
Tom Brady’s achievement is something special but I haven’t been following the NFL at all this year. I predict that the team w/the starting quarterback who has a White Mom will win. White Moms are just the best. Mine was at least. Although she didn’t produce an NFL Superbowl QB. Shit.
Kansas City is favored by 3 over Tampa Bay. Apparently no one thinks Patrick Mahomes is going to throw four interceptions in the second half.
Gambling.
The “transman”; you should trademark that before I do.
If that’s true – I have to take your word for it – that is the best news I’ve heard in a long time.
How often does a QB win throwing three interceptions in the modern NFL?
Bucs won on red zone defense and won the game. They are going to need that red zone defense in the next game.
The weird thing about those interceptions was they were the kind of throws QBs make when they’re behind, but Brady threw them with a lead.
I think I’d rather have a bowl of soup, thank you … and no kneeling, please. The NFL is dead to me after last year’s virtue-fest.

Nice photo of Brady and his mom. Tom is the most famous and successful professional athlete in America right now and easily worth 9 figures. I’m sure with his vast wealth and influence he’s spoken out against the disparagement of white women like his own mother by the vile epithet ‘Karen’. Wait, he never has and would probably defend his blonde/blue-eyed wife along the lines of: ‘She’s can’t be a Karen. Gisele is Latinx”? FUCK HIM.
I just don’t have enough mustard for all those hot dogs.
Also, the Rams played in and hosted Super Bowl XIV in the Rose Bowl, which is 12¼ miles from the LA Coliseum.
Defense wins championships? Perhaps Tampa’s D is the greatest unsung story. They sure pulled Brady’s chestnuts out of the fire.
The football will be better than the commercials and halftime show. For pregame, a fifty foot tall bust of George Floyd will be pulled around the field by white people who voted for Trump and then put to death with flamethrowers. Ibrahim X Kendi will handle the coin toss, one side with Malcolm X, the other Huey Newton.
It’s interesting to note that they have the same entertainment at the Super Bowl and Inauguration. Lady Gaga, the future of womanhood.
When I read (didn’t watch) Biden’s speech, I perked up when he quoted St. Augustine (maybe ironically) on what defines a people is shared values. But I was quite disappointed he didn’t say the obvious about what that is for today’s Americans: Football.
That’s a relatively recent thing, the hand over the heart. Through I think the 1980s that was for the Pledge of Allegiance, not the anthem. I don’t know know when it started, but it still feels out of place to me.
Mahomes threw three interceptions against Miami this season but the Chiefs still prevailed, 33-27. Mahomes did throw for 396 yards and two TDs, so he wasn’t all bad. Those three interceptions were half of his six total for the season.
Good to see the audiences falling. Inshallah they’re falling for UK soccer too – watching a game with no crowd is oddly dull for the casual viewer.
Interestingly the Guardian has a lot more US football coverage than it used to – the BBC too. A negative indicator.
I really hope Brady wins because that will annoy exactly the sort of people I like to see annoyed. Also, I love when the press gets denied its “great black quarterback” story, because as far as the press is concerned Mahomes is black as tar.
Also, DeSantis is the best governor in America right now, and Florida the best state, so I’d like to see them get the win.
I had friends who went to USC, and we had season’s tickets for 15 years or so. We always got a laugh from the fact that UCLA students have to drive 30 miles across town the Rose Bowl, for their home games. USC plays in the Coliseum, which is only 15 miles from UCLA, and right across the street from USC.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer fundie wokel.
Barry McCockiner hardest hit. The picks were effectively punts.
Yeah you’re supposed to sing the (drinking song) anthem. Hand over heart is lousy for singing.
C’mon Steve they were punts. You’re always behind against Rodgers even when you’re ahead. Brady played it perfect. Low risk high reward.
Got the reward in the first half and rode it home.
Whenever Brady throws the ball UP it’s a crap shoot where it comes down. When he throws horizontal he’s killer. He’s no Joe Montana or Dan Marino, but the boy gets it done.
And wasn’t one of the Cowboys – Steelers Super Bowl played in the Cotton Bowl?
The three Steelers/Cowboys Super Bowls were all played in college stadiums, however: twice in the Orange Bowl and once in Sun Devil Stadium.
My predictions are made by constantly fitting the past, so here it is, this game will be the reverse of 2015 SB when Brady beat the emerging AA star Russell Wilson, remember that team pictures, you had one of the whitest teams going against one of the blackest teams. Symbolically that also foreshadowed the politics, the 2016 elections were like that SB, team whitey barely managing to hold of the onslaught of the team blackey.
This will be reverse, team blackey will break the gates and a pogrom fill follow, I am predicting Chiefs win next 2 SB also, reverse of Buffalo Bills who lost 4 SBs in 90s. Ironically Bills beat Joe Montana’s come back with the Chiefs in the 1992 AFC championship game in their second run to losing the Super Bowl, now Chiefs get to beat the second coming of Brady with a different team but in SB.
All that said, I will be waging a few shekels on Brady, TB’s defense has the capability to disrupt Mahomes the way Bills could not.
This will be reverse, team blackey will break the gates and a pogrom fill follow....
I'm surprised it didn't happen in 2014, when the Seahawks annihilated Peyton Manning and Denver. Thankfully, Peyton made up for it , 2 years later, when he went out on top, against Cam Newton and the Panthers. If Tom and the Bucs lose, will he get another chance?Replies: @indocon, @Desiderius

How about those Bills?Replies: @Buffalo Joe
Johnny, an embarrassing beat down. It was like they had never heard of Travis Kelce. I thought we could make a game of it but they smothered Diggs and Allen went back to looking like a rookie. Hasn’t learned to take a sack, run backwards while under pursuit and give up 18 -20 yards. Marv Levy level coaching, as in no adjustments. Buffalo was a pretender I guess, still don’t have a ground game or know how to use a tight end over the middle. In the NFC game I picked Tampa Bay 31-28 over Green Bay, came close. Brady has the weapons, we will see if TB can contain Kelce. TB 28 – KC 24.
My biggest take away from both games yesterday is the NFL needs better on field officials and fewer replay cameras for the telecast. You could probably call a penalty on every pass play if you watch the replays. Why don’t they start a school for officials, use college player that can’t make a team. school them all week at team prctices and make them full time. And what was up with the kick off that hit the goal line, was fielded, runner smothered and then overturned when a coach watched the replay. You could call a penalty on every play if the coaches could pick them off the jumbotrons. brady wins one more SB if TB takes advantage of their two good tight ends. Dink and dunk down the field.
So Tampa has the home field but how many fans will actually be allowed in to cheer them on?
I actually attended a few Bucs games in their hapless early years, and waited on line for hours for tix to their first-ever home playoff game, the only time I’ve ever done anything of that sort — although a few post-office mystery shops also featured epic wait times.
Even before all the kneeling and wokieness I’d already had it with the NFL. The last interesting storyline I recall was Tim Tebow’s weirdly successful season dragging Denver to the playoffs (plus that win over the Steelers before Brady shot them down).
So here’s a guy who carries a previously half-dead team on his back to like 10-4 as a starter, after already winning two championships in the SEC — America’s real pro football league. And then all you hear is how he can’t play, can’t pass, can’t do anything. If he weren’t white (and religious!) I expect the narrative would have been very different.
Putting aside the absurd action sequences featuring an overweight 50 year old woman beating up younger men, the dialogue would have been rejected from a Saturday Night Live spoof of this type of show.

It’s amazing how a 12-15 minute performance can feel like 12-15 hours….
Yeah none of those interceptions was a killer variety and they seem more like risks that if they paid off would have put the game away and if they fail so what. Packers won turnovers, time of possession, 1st downs, total offense.
Bucs won on red zone defense and won the game. They are going to need that red zone defense in the next game.

I’ve been of the mind that Brady is an avatar of the quintessential straight white male – the reasons for hating Brady and the reasons for hating straight white men are largely the same.

This is a good time to note that the Belichick coaching tree, most notably Charlie Weis, hasn’t produced much fruit.
Several of the QBs he had or ran off went on to stellar careers elsewhere.
After the original owner died his kids kept him on for a couple of years but was fired this season after a terrible start and some horrible trades.
O'Brian was worshiped by local media for a long while, until his nasty temper (and false promises) finally drove them away from that. Most figured he was in Houston for years too long. But the owners kept signing him to multiyear contracts (the year before he was fired, a 5 year one) and even made him the general manager. He finally ran out of others to blame.
He was/is a 'tough guy' big mouth bully coach but despite his claims of working dawn to dusk daily, never seemed to show much sense. Deshaun Watson is a talented QB but like all Texans QBs (and before that Oilers) had to learn to pass off instantly.

Ironically UCLA is only 17⅛ miles from the Rose Bowl as the crow flies, but as I’m sure you know, the roads don’t go from Westwood to Pasadena. You have to go up the 405 to Sherman Oaks then across town on 101 for a total of 26½ miles.
Yes, the Texans eagerly snapped up the Pats supposed defensive wizard Bill O’Brian in 2013 or somewhere back then and though made some division playoffs, never won a conference championship. Or came very close to winning.

I just don't see how it is possible for Hollywood to keep putting this stuff out. I guess as long as Woke Capital is going to buy ad time on it they will.Replies: @The Last Real Calvinist
I just watched that trailer myself. It’s astonishingly awful — a case study in how to make your dialog as blatantly expository as possible. The actors sound like they’re reading the instruction manual for a cheap PRC-produced toaster.
Never underestimate the LCD in the American TV audience, I guess, but I agree with you we’ve reached a point at which profitability is only one concern, and likely not the primary one. Social engineering/virtue signalling are top priority, with the studios just daring their advertisers, and ultimately their audience, to turn away.

This will be reverse, team blackey will break the gates and a pogrom fill follow, I am predicting Chiefs win next 2 SB also, reverse of Buffalo Bills who lost 4 SBs in 90s. Ironically Bills beat Joe Montana's come back with the Chiefs in the 1992 AFC championship game in their second run to losing the Super Bowl, now Chiefs get to beat the second coming of Brady with a different team but in SB.
All that said, I will be waging a few shekels on Brady, TB's defense has the capability to disrupt Mahomes the way Bills could not.Replies: @WhiteWinger
My predictions are made by constantly fitting the past, so here it is, this game will be the reverse of 2015 SB when Brady beat the emerging AA star Russell Wilson, remember that team pictures, you had one of the whitest teams going against one of the blackest teams. Symbolically that also foreshadowed the politics, the 2016 elections were like that SB, team whitey barely managing to hold of the onslaught of the team blackey.

I’m surprised it didn’t happen in 2014, when the Seahawks annihilated Peyton Manning and Denver. Thankfully, Peyton made up for it , 2 years later, when he went out on top, against Cam Newton and the Panthers. If Tom and the Bucs lose, will he get another chance?
Back in the 60s and 70s it was common to heave a bomb downfield on 3rd and 10 and if it were intercepted, the announcers would say it was as good as a punt. I can’t imagine Aaron Rodgers does that very often with his super low interception numbers.
But that was when quarterbacks didn't have to care as much about having a few extra INTs show up in their stats. Now, don't interceptions seriously drag down the composite quarterback ratings assembled by the statheads at ESPN and such?Replies: @Desiderius
See also their personal lives. Rodgers isn’t the most strategical thinker.
I believe 2 of Brady’s interceptions yesterday were like that, the ball ended up on Packers side past 30 years. The stupid commentators kept saying that Packers got 3 turnovers but only were able to get 6 points, well 2 of them were just like punts.

Remember the whole race war was just getting started in 2014 (the game was in Jan I believe), I’m not even sure a big deal was made about a black quarterback winning Super Bowl for the first time since Doug Williams back then.
Don’t care, really, but I kind of would like to see Bruce Arians get a championship as head coach.
You wouldn’t take I-10 to downtown LA and then the 110?
You’re definitely right that back in the day the CW was that hey, you might as well heave it downfield now and then when nothing else was working, especially on 3rd down.

Maybe that’s why Brady is headed to his tenth Super Bowl and Rodgers…

The irony is that the analytics guys are always harping (correctly) about coaches not taking enough situational risk. Same goes with players.

Fournette is no whitey. Does KC have a running game?
You could, but that would involve taking the 405 south in order to reach the 10, so it would take a bit longer. OTOH you would get to drive past Dodger Stadium.
Several of the QBs he had or ran off went on to stellar careers elsewhere.
After the original owner died his kids kept him on for a couple of years but was fired this season after a terrible start and some horrible trades.
O'Brian was worshiped by local media for a long while, until his nasty temper (and false promises) finally drove them away from that. Most figured he was in Houston for years too long. But the owners kept signing him to multiyear contracts (the year before he was fired, a 5 year one) and even made him the general manager. He finally ran out of others to blame.
He was/is a 'tough guy' big mouth bully coach but despite his claims of working dawn to dusk daily, never seemed to show much sense. Deshaun Watson is a talented QB but like all Texans QBs (and before that Oilers) had to learn to pass off instantly.
Though Football is religion in Houston, I think they should just give up on the NFL here. Jinxed with stupidity by owners.Replies: @ScarletNumber, @Brutusale
Amazingly the Oilers won the first two AFL championships. Then, in the third, the game went into overtime. The other team (Dallas Texans) won the toss and made the mistake of telling the referee they wanted to “kick to the clock”. Dallas ended up winning anyway in double overtime and the Oilers/Texans haven’t won (or been to) a AFL championship/Super Bowl since. Maybe it’s a curse for not taking advantage of the opportunity.
Of course, the biggest sign of a curse is that the Titans went to a Super Bowl in only their third season in Tennessee and their first after shedding the Oilers moniker.
Rodgers may have been to another Super Bowl if he had played vs Seattle like Brady did vs GB. Gotta take chances when you’re on the road. No excuse for someone as talented with the deep ball as Rodgers is to have so few INTs.

They lost the ‘79 AFC Championship is chilly Pittsburgh. The great Tyler Rose met Napoleon’s fate.

O’Brien was the QB coach/offensive coordinator for the Patriots while the real OC, Josh McDaniels, was off in Denver and St. Louis vainly trying to spread his coaching wings before returning to take back his rightful job. O’Brien was all smoke and mirrors, as are many coaches who got jobs simply because they spent time at the knee of The Master.
Houston did do something right this year by signing Patriots director of player personnel, Nick Caserio. He’s been the only guy that Belichick listened to regarding player selection. The Texans’ organization should be kissing his 6 rings and listening to what he says.
I recall that Gronk baited the frustrated Seahawks D-line into a mini-brawl at the end of that game.
Also, DeSantis is the best governor in America right now, and Florida the best state, so I'd like to see them get the win.Replies: @Ron Mexico
DeSantis just made a pitch for the Tokyo Olympics.
Their audiences seem to be taking the dare so far.
None. If Tampa D line can keep pressuring Mahomes against a makeshift O line, they have a chance.
