OT: Super Bowl LI - Patriots v Falcons

[Canovin]

Brady is not human. Wow

 

[BlowbyBlow]

Rigged? The bookies probably made a killing

Patriots had the spread and it was 3, the over under was also I believe 60 (62 points scored) so once again no one would have made much money. You win going against the oddsmakers.

 

[SullivanT]

This just in Brady and the Patriots under investigation for using performance enhancers during the intermission.

The substance in question

 

[Soli]

WOOOOOOOoo

 

[BlowbyBlow]

I love how fans of each sport always boo the commissioners of the league

He's never been booed till this game NEVER.

So wouldn't that mean the bookies made a killing because they didn't have to pay out as much?

 

[CupofOil]

That was the ultimate F U to Goodell for being such a jerk over deflategate.

Yep and it was glorious. He's a horrible commissioner for many other reasons also, worst in the 4 major sports by far.

Sports Select here in Edmonton had the line at 58.5. A buddy who is at the Wynn tonight said there line was 58.

Theoretically the lines should move so there are equal bets on each side of the line.

he's definitely been boo'ed bfore
if you're talking about Goodell

Oddly it's reasonable to call Bettman the best of the four commissioners. Silver hasn't been around too long, but mishandled the Donald Sterling fiasco badly. Manfred has also been on the job for a brief period of time.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Joe Buck with the rare show of emotion.

 

[Jumptheshark]

it goes without saying

his name is now

Tom ****ing Brady

 

[Del Preston]

I've been a Pats fan since 2000 and seen all but one game the last 14 years. Never thought it could get sweeter than the comeback two years ago. I'm gonna get to Week 1 in September somehow.

 

[The Batman]

This was a damn entertaining game. After the half of course.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

what an epic choke job by the Falcons...1st and 10 on the 22 and they proceed to go BACKWARDS out of FG range lol
then the Patriots romp down the field and tie the game

Brady proves he's the greatest ever and Belichek the greatest coach ever

wow, what a game

Agreed although the lockouts and insistence on doing everything to keep franchises alive in dead hockey markets will be stains on his legacy.

Silver and Manfred have their sports on the right track but too early to tell as you said. Goodell is a disaster on every level.

 

[Quality Oil]

Moose, MacT, MacLean and the boys were out at Hudsons downtown hanging out. Pretty good atmosphere.

I'm still in shock, what a game.

 

[VainGretzky]

Tom Brady to be suspended 4 games for deflating all the Falcon fans in the 2nd half

 

[Stoneman89]

NE would have most likely gone for two at the end of the game still.

Not a chance in hell. 52 seconds left and you're down by 1 point?

 

[BleedingOil]

So what 2 falcons players should they pin the blame on

 

[cbzblaze]

Falcons play calling cost them the game. Why are they even throwing the ball when their already in FG range, knowing that a FG makes it a 2 possession game and pretty much seals it. Amateur hour at its best. People can praise Brady and the Pats all they want, but they had absolutely no business wining that game. Classic choke job by the dirty birds. And Matt Ryan is still horrible when the play breaks down, can't improvise worth squat.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Epic choke/comeback game. Didn't like the Pats 'till yesterday, now i hate them.
5 rings, great accomplishment, Brady.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

That was a pretty incredible game, but after it was over I was still left thinking "Where my front runners at"

If Brady doesn't walk away after this, he's an idiot, it's not going to get better then this.
