The official Super Bowl LIII Thread

[Southieinnc]

"The New England Patriots, who have been shitting up the mid-winter for sports fans throughout this entire terrible millennium, are not remotely close to going away, not any more than, say, measles or famine are close to going away. They're a problem, but one that gets managed more than it gets eradicated. It's embarrassing that, at this late juncture and despite the near-unanimity in the culture that Something Needs To Be Done About The F---ing Patriots, seemingly nothing can be done about the Patriots. They're in the Super Bowl again and you're a fool if you think they're not going to win it in some sort of hideous and repellent way. They're going to have a parade and Bill Belichick is going to pass a kidney stone the size of a Hyundai Elantra while a bunch of mutants with unforgivable beards cheer him on."

There were plenty of people who had them written off up until last week. Then everyone was like DAMN! Those bastages did it AGAIN! All the NE players were hearing is Brady is too old, NE doesn't have any WRs, their defense sucks...

I'll be honest, I didn't think we'd see them in the SB. The way things started out with injuries and Edeleman's extended off season I wasn't even sure they'd make the playoffs. Then I remembered we have the Dolphins, Bills and Jets in the division. Not to mention the weak opponents from the NFC NE got to face.

What was I worried about?

Now, the Patriots are the favorites. Old man Brady can drop that nobody believes in us act now.

My sources are close to finalizing the report, and it's looking like quite a few prop bets are going to be lucrative.

Patriots first downs > Rams first downs

Rams sacks < 2

Do you know anything about Vegas odds and what happens once $ starts rolling in?

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Rams fans be like nothing to see here;
Sources: 4 officials in Rams win have SoCal ties

Rams fans be like we don't see anything wrong with this;
The officials for the Super Bowl are set, and the Rams have a good history with the referee

Yes, of course bettors affect the lines. The Rams are not suppose to be there, they haven't earned is the talk, so of course that makes them the underdogs

I don't fuss much with the food. I may just have grilled cheese, something easy.

I will have my beer lined up though.

And my cake.

Good point. Beer will be flowing, as will some warm-up martinis and margaritas.

I like an extra strength murderita but have no inclination to ever have a martini....

But again, I doubt I'd have those on Super Bowl Sunday. A warm summer day maybe.

To be truthful, my intake and what I eat will be normal for me. System maintenance, nothing extra special required.

Meh, SB party without tons of finger food just ain’t rat. Regarding Martinis, those are for the cooking phase, then beer is the natural go to.

Won't be a party at my place. Just another day at the office...

I don't like crowds. Distracting.

I'll let it record for 1.5 hours before I even tune in. Do some yardwork while waiting, maybe wash a car.

TBH, I too like watching games alone, maybe with a few close family members. That way I can jump up and down and yell at the screen like a madman, without people thinking I’m going nuts.

Also, there is nothing worse than some newbie to the game saying “... looks like the (insert: offense or defense of your team) is terrible,” after the first drive. Arrgh, hate that chit.

Besides that awful non call, he has been a good player, it's not starting corner material but has been good in his role.

I watch with family and friends, every Super Bowl every 10 minutes on cue says that, I cringe every time.
