OT: Football thread (2024 season)

The thought of either team winning makes me want to puke honestly, but obviously the shit-birds winning would suck more.

I honestly don't plan to watch the game. I have projects around the house I've been procrastinating with & I might sneak in a Trader Joe's run after kick off while the rest of the world watching the game.

I was rooting for the Bills in the AFCCG but now that they're in Super Bowl I have no ill will for the Chiefs. I'm bored with them but I don't have any reason to care if they win or lose. This is the easiest decision ever of who to root for. Would be even worse than 2017 or if they won two years ago. The Barkley factor is vomit inducing.
 
Tom Brady says we overvalue money, yet he's also the same guy who took advantage of the $1M Covid business loan from the government & never paid it back. Classy.
He's also the guy took either $325M or $375M (I get his and Barkley's contracts mixed up) he doesn't need to call games which he's bad at and has an ugly voice, instead of getting a life.

He's become one extremely unlikable dude. I actually had no issue with him until he threw those equipment guys under the bus with Deflategate, then proceeded to smash his phone to hide the evidence, all the while claiming full innocence. That got the ball rolling for me.

Since then, his smugness has been on full display for the past 10 years & to top it all off, his broadcast career, which is bad enough on its own merits, is now severely compromised when he became a minority owner for the Raiders. Having a platform where he can't & won't criticize the officials or any other of the league franchises while working games can only be seen as one giant farce. Completely fitting for this fraud.

His ego is at an insane level.
 
Not watching tonight. I can't in good faith root for the Eagles and I'm tired of the Chiefs being treated like 2008-2018 Penguins.

Between the poser football fans, the Taylor Swift bird watching, and everyone going to dissect the Halftime Show aka the most overrated musical event of the year (it's all prerecorded backing tracks...every year), yeah no.

The 48 hours post Grammys and the 48 hours post Super Bowl are the two most insufferable periods of the year.
