[PCIntern]

(I certainly hope that the copyright police don’t show up because I didn’t call it “The Big Game” 😁

Post what you want, love it or hate it…nothing within DU rules is out of bounds. Posts about the ads are welcome of course and it goes without saying that commentary concerning Taylor Swift is AFAIC, encouraged.

Should be interesting…or this may plummet like a stone.

[Drum]

1. Let's go Chiefs!

[PCIntern]

2. I'm grudgingly with you

They beat my Iggles last year but the whole Swiftian thing dwarfs that issue utterly.

[Cha]

13. lol.. yeah it's kinda complicated but Taylor Swifft

and Travis Kelce take Priority for obvious reasons.

Don't tell me the magats are rooting for Nancy Pelosi's Team the 49ers

[bdamomma]

50. Hey Cha

Who are Magats going for? Can't be San Francisco? or even Kansas City?

But I shouldn't think politics should be involved.

[Cha]

59. Magats are in a Deep Quandary!

They can't root for anyone openly.

bdamomma

[bdamomma]

74. .........

such jerks they are. Cha

[sheshe2]

128. Lot's on twitter say they won't watch.

Their panties are in a bunch.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

3. Will Nancy Pelosi's helmet have a radio?

IMO, she should just coach from the sideline -- those heels could injure players on the field.

[Mz Pip]

4. Go Niners!

I just want it to be a good game, not a blowout for either side.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

33. While I am a Chiefs fan,

and I always want my team to win by double digits, I agree that a game that's not very competitive is somewhat boring.

[cally]

48. Go Niners!

It’s time for them to win a Super Bowl! My home team.

Plus, San Francisco winning would bother MAGA as much as the Chiefs win.

[asiliveandbreathe]

5. Hubby and I tossed for 1st pick..he won, so I have the 49ers..

I am thrilled..I have to give him the line..I just looked , SF giving 2..

Couple weeks ago, I bet the Knicks to beat Pacers (2-1) ..$20 bet at Casino..so I put up my winning ticket..$38.18..LOL..wish me luck..(365 days to cash in..still good)

Keep in mind, what's mine is mine, and what's his in mine..

Good luck to all..may your team win!!! (As Pats fans, we are good sharers..)

[Beachnutt]

6. Chiefs, 31-24

Go Chiefs

[RainCaster]

7. From my seat, I can watch the game, and humpbacks breeching

I love Hawaii...

[Cha]

14. NICE!

[pandr32]

118. Right there with you!

[Stinky The Clown]

8. Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi IS IN THE BUILDING!!!

[OAITW r.2.0]

9. It's all about the money.

It's like the Holy Day of Capitalism. The actual game is merely the vehicle to deliver the Big Show. I'll tune in for the game, but not until kick-off.

[lpbk2713]

17. And I'll find something else to do during halftime.

That's usually a three ring circus.

[PCIntern]

21. You are correct.

[Croney]

10. 49'ers 28-17 but I'm rooting for Taylor's boyfriend.

[TexasBushwhacker]

58. I have a friend from KC so I always cheer for

the Chiefs if the Texans are out. Houston had a good year though.

[MOMFUDSKI]

11. Taylor has a fabulous

dress on!

[Beastly Boy]

15. Go Swifties!

Let's see if they can hijack this thread.

[Mysterian]

12. Mahomes is such a nice kid, it's hard to root against him

But I'm for the Niners.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

16. Which team is Kelsey Grammer on again?

[PCIntern]

20. Funny!!!

[limbicnuminousity]

22. He's on the side with the red shirts.

He's the one with the cute fanny. They're called "tight ends", I think?

[tazkcmo]

114. I hope he shoots a home run! nt

[RainCaster]

18. I think there will be too many notes sung for the national anthem

By a long ways.

[RainCaster]

32. I was wrong- Reba did a tasteful job

Good for her.

[ProfessorGAC]

39. They Also Kept The Tempo Up

Still too slow, but torturously so, like far too many versions.
Doing it too slow is a pet peeve of mine.

[hlthe2b]

19. I'm a sap... the piece they did with Sinatra singing "My Way" had me tearing up...

Just a game, sure, but just as with the Olympics when they focus on those behind the athletes and the trail they've traveled and the support they received, I get a bit emotional.

GO CHIEFS!

[Stinky The Clown]

23. I wish the singing of The National Anthem would be done straight

Reba's version was pretty good. A little embellished but not bad.

Some versions are so over the top as to truly inappropriate. I like to stand with my hand on my heart. I appreciate a proper rendition.

[PCIntern]

24. Some are actually horrific...

[unc70]

28. She mostly stayed within her limits

She re-pitched it to mostly stay within her range. Not great but not objectionable.

[Stinky The Clown]

25. We're both Ravens fans. Watched every game this year starting in preseason. They beat BOTH these teams . . .

. . . in the regular season. Neither game was close. But like our beloved Orioles, they couldn't get it done in the end. But they'll be back.

In this game, we're neutral but honestly with a nod to the Swifts. And the Pelosies.

[PCIntern]

26. Loved the YouTube Sunday ticket ad

Terrific!!

[petronius]

29. That was hilarious!

[SYFROYH]

27. Well done, Reba. Incredible for 68 yrs old.

[Ocelot II]

30. Call it the Superb Owl and say it's a nature documentary.

[Stinky The Clown]

31. The Chiefs are really good at stripping the ball!

They did it us (Ravens) 3 times in the post season

[obnoxiousdrunk]

34. This is breaking DU tradition.

Where is the who. Is not watching thread ?

[scipan]

35. Could not figure out what the foot washing ad was for

Hiking?

No. Jesus.

Weird. But then maybe it's just not my thing.

[PCIntern]

36. I knew THAT was coming...

No way any company with sufficient money to advertise on the SB would use that kind of religious symbolism which is exclusively Christian.

[petronius]

37. I sussed it out early (I've seen a bunch of them) - and it turned out to be

exactly as long as a bathroom break...

[nolabear]

40. Apparently they're the opposite of what that ad portrays.

Very right wing, anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ from what I’m seeing.

[hatrack]

178. They've also given +/- $ 8 million to Ark Encounter

Yeah, that's really full-frontal Jesus, spending millions on pseudoscience, as opposed to, you know that whole, "I was in prison and you visited me" thing.

[nolabear]

180. Apparently the internet is all agog over it.

But it’s foot porn.

[haele]

98. That's the Xtian RW lobby and legal group that works with Focus on Your Family...

It's called " Milk before Meat"; they're targeting vulnerable people. While the message is good, once they get people to click on their website, it's mind f**k central...
"Jesus loves you, he just doesn't love your sinning. He's going to do everything he can to get you right again with Gawd - all you got to do is give up your sin."
This isn't Jimmy Carter's Christianity. This is Falwell, Olsteen, Alito, MLM-style Christianity. They just cynically regurgitate Sunday School teachings to draw in their prey.

Every single one of the hypocritical bastards behind these ads needs to get hit with lightning for Blasphemy.

Haele

[SYFROYH]

38. I like a good defensive game. Feels like old school football.

[PCIntern]

43. Yes ...

My only “concern” is that lots of flags are being thrown. We will see if any Ricky tack penalties are called that affect the outcome.

(I have my own theories about the NFL)

[riversedge]

41. I just found the game. Had 3 nephews over

this afternoon and they messed up my TV. oh well, they are good kids

[WarGamer]

42. SF is vastly more talented... and deeper.

But Mahomes is magic...

Expecting a great game

[Tribetime]

44. NFL is way over the top like it's the most important thing in life

No sense watching if my team isn't in ..don't give a crap

[PCIntern]

45. The Walken and Schwarzenegger/DeVito ads were GREAT!

[petronius]

46. I was skeptical when they were teasing a State Farm / Schwarzenegger ad

but that was entertaining. Walken, of course, is never wrong!

[lindysalsagal]

47. Paramount+ didn't buy enough servers. O keep getting dropped

Only watching for the commercials, anyway.

[Stinky The Clown]

49. o/- Fumble-Roni . . . the San Francisco treat! o/-

[PCIntern]

51. Wow. Kelce went off on Andy Reid

Shoved him!

[TheProle]

53. Words will be had.

[OAITW r.2.0]

57. What was that about? Not a good look for Kelce.

Purdy is playing a pretty good game, so far.

[TheProle]

68. Kelce spells 'team' with an "I"

[OAITW r.2.0]

71. You have to wonder if the Swiftie thing is having an adverse effect of his team game,

[Tree-Hugger]

52. Go Birds!

🦅

[PCIntern]

55. Iggles Nation!!!

E-A-G-L-E-S!!! EAGLES!!!

?si=WZTrv_eFWPI_5Rh9

[Stinky The Clown]

54. WayTaGo Greenlaw. Showboating. Blue tent. Unforced error. Dipweed.

On Edit: Achilles Tendon

[nolabear]

56. Boy, this game is all defense.

[FloridaBlues]

60. San Fran came to play ! Surprised it's low scoring.

Can’t wait to see halftime show.

[jalan48]

61. Touchdown 49ers!

[petronius]

64. That felt like a pick-6 or TD coinflip...

[Drum]

67. Seriously!

[jalan48]

107. Yeah, I thought it was going to be a disaster.

[Stinky The Clown]

62. San Francisco just won the game

KC doing stupid shit. Just like my Ravens when KC beat them.

[PCIntern]

65. Yup.

[Boomerproud]

70. Going to bed.

Nt

[SalviaBlue]

134. Big mistake 🙃

[Stinky The Clown]

182. I was wr-wr-wr-wrong

[Boomerproud]

184. Not when you have to at work by 5am.

Happy with the outcome however.

[FloridaBlues]

66. Yep doing stupid penalties. Bet coach is 😤

[Cha]

181. This is where I left it when I

went to the beach.. I was so Surprised when I came back and the Chiefs WON!

I didn't know what everyone was talking about!

They must have gotten their shit together.

[PCIntern]

63. Equivalent of the Philly Special.

Some play.

[Tree Lady]

69. Watching game on 2nd margarita

I made a homemade 7 layer dip with fresh italian tomatoes and guacamole.

I am niner fan and more than aware we were ahead last time in superbowl with this team before we lost. So unless we are 30-0 I am not feeling excited yet.

[calguy]

73. A ten point lead isn't comfortable against Mahomes

But it's much better to be up by ten than behind by ten.

[edhopper]

72. That TD was fun

So was the Ben Afleck commercial

[ms liberty]

77. Reccing for the Ben Affleck commercial!

[Drum]

93. +100%

That was characteristically great as a Super Bowl commercial

[Stinky The Clown]

75. Kennedy??????

Blech

[SYFROYH]

76. ewwww.

[woodsprite]

82. To cleanse our palate and to bleach our vision...

[bdamomma]

85. Yea

a few threads have popped up about it. Geez, he put some big money on that ad.

[lapfog_1]

87. that was huge WTF???

I guess the Trump/Putin billionaires wanted to spend some big bucks for a really crappy ad.

This is all I could think of watching that sacrilege.

[PCIntern]

78. Robert Kennedy Jr. Ad...

Clever…but he ain’t going nowhere.

[underpants]

80. Why the fuck was this on the Super Bowl?

Fivking pissed off

[FloridaBlues]

89. Felt same way. Lousy political ad for him.

[PCIntern]

97. What else does he have other than his name?

He’s a zero

[hatrack]

179. Which the ad proved handily . . .

Faux b&w photos of Kennedy The (Much) Lesser didn't exactly conjure up Camelot either.

[woodsprite]

79. I just wanted to throw something through our television when John F Kennedy's commercial came on with

his asshole nephew's picture edited in every frame.

TOTALLY OFFENSIVE!!!

[honest.abe]

86. Exacty.. I was about to puke.

[Swede]

81. Go Chiefs!

But I hope both teams have fun.

[honest.abe]

83. Mahomes seems rattled for some reason.

Weird. He was awesome against the Ravens.

[Stinky The Clown]

90. His team is doing stupid shit kinda like the Ravens did against him

[honest.abe]

92. Yeah, Im a Ravens fan and its like this is a totally different team that beat them two weeks ago.

Weird.

[ChazII]

105. His father was arrested for DUI

according to a Yahoo! story I saw earlier on the day. Now I can't find the link. Maybe that is rattling his thoughts.

[honest.abe]

111. I had not heard that.

That very well could be affecting him.

[calguy]

113. He wasn't playing the Niners

They'll adjust in the second half but so will the Niners. We'll see who wins the chess game.

[honest.abe]

116. And yet Ravens slaughtered the Niners Christmas day evening in SF.

Go figure.

[calguy]

159. Any given game

[MerryBlooms]

123. Mahomes has been rattled before. 49ers defense is on him like a cheap suit.

Cheifs lose their shit when manhandled by better teams, and make emotional mistakes that cost them big time penalty wise. If the Chiefs can keep their shit together, they could win this. The teams are equal deep in skill. I thought the beginning of the season the 49ers would take it all, I'm sticking with them.

[honest.abe]

125. And yet Ravens slaughtered the Niners Christmas day evening in SF.

[Stinky The Clown]

84. KC on the board

Barely

But clearly not having their best mental game.

[Drum]

88. Haha the DunKings commercial!

Brady & Damon!

[honest.abe]

94. Yeah, that was the best com so far!

[MustLoveBeagles]

91. Watched the Puppy Bowl instead

[cloudbase]

95. Snapchat must learn not to use "less" when they mean "fewer."

[Blue Dawn]

108. Amen!

One of my "Word Nazi" pet peeves!....LOL

[lapfog_1]

96. Could the CBS analyst crew could possibly be any more pro Chiefs?

Before the game they went 5 to 2 pro Chiefs ( picking the game winner )

At half time it was all what do the Chiefs need to do to change things.

This is after a half of football where the the 49ers completely shutdown the chiefs at the line of scrimmage.

Stat wise the 49s are dominating both defense and offensive.

Pre game picks by the large wagering people were edge to the 49ers... and these chuckleheads were all "49ers have no chance against the "Reed / Mahomes dynasty"

games not over... but the game looks to be not as high scoring as predicted... and the Chiefs haven't really put together much of an offense.

[PCIntern]

100. Mahomes seems to be the Brady replacement as the Face of the NFL

I said that last year when they played my Eagles and the game/penalties/commentary was all Chiefs and Mahomes.

[ProfessorGAC]

104. He's The Best QB In The League

And, it's not close. Also, his first 6 years as a starter are historic. The numbers support it. 4 Superbowl appearances in 5 years, 2 wins.
He deserves any flowers he gets.
And, my only problem is my Bears traded up to pass on Mahomes so they could draft Mitch Trubisky.
Oh, the guys who did that got launched. They could have had Mahomes without trading up!

[lapfog_1]

115. you should amend that a little... he WAS the best QB in the NFL

This year there are many that had a better year than Mahomes... Baltimore, Detroit, Green Bay... and, yes, possibly even San Francisco.

[ProfessorGAC]

117. Nope

Not amending. Body of work, and his receuvers led the league in drops.
In addition, where are those better QBs? Watching the Superbowl, like we are.
THREE drops so far, in this game.

[lapfog_1]

126. if "body of work" is the standard

Joe Montana is there in the stadium... Tom Brady is probably watching. Troy Aikman too. Brett Farve.

And if dropped balls are the problem... it takes two people to cause a dropped ball.

[ProfessorGAC]

183. Keep Digging

[lapfog_1]

120. the greatest QB in the NFL just overthrew his reciever.

and the 49ers intercepted

[PlutosHeart]

99. Halftime show

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Maybe the score is affecting me. And the news in general.

[Beausoleil]

102. Agreed

Not an Usher fan, but this is pretty crappy. JMHO.

[SYFROYH]

101. Yes. Lil Jon

[Sympthsical]

106. I was like, "Did they just drag in Turn Down For What?!"

Millennials everywhere right now thinking, "Wait, how old are we?"

That's how I felt. And not in that fun nostalgic way. It was just tired.

Lil Jon was the only part I liked, lol.

[brewens]

103. It's almost unwatchable. It took almost two hours to play two 15-minute quarters. n/t

[MerryBlooms]

109. I'm a Bills and 49er gal. I'm listening to the radio broadcast,

It's what I prefer, because I nearly stroke out every game. 🤣

[edhopper]

110. I recognized

Maybe two of those guests with Usher.

[lindysalsagal]

112. Who knew Sir Patrick was a lefty?

That Quincy boy was adorable.

[jalan48]

119. Interception!

[PCIntern]

121. Intercepted!!!

Mahomes is not functioning.

[PCIntern]

127. Great Pfizer ad!

[SalviaBlue]

133. Yay Science. Loved it!

[asiliveandbreathe]

122. PICK SIX.....YEAAAAAAAA...

[edhopper]

124. Didn't take advantage

Of the interception

[honest.abe]

129. If Mahomes is within a touchdown in the 4th quarter, KC will win.

imho

[Beartracks]

130. Great VW ad. Good use of a classic song, too!

[PCIntern]

131. Weird shit, man...

[SYFROYH]

132. What good fortune for KC on the fumbled kick return

and then capitalized on it with a TD.

Taylor did a happy dance.

[SoFlaBro]

135. I want to see Taylor win in her first playoffs with the Chiefs then big home the big win for Biden.

[SoFlaBro]

136. Let's see if things can turn around for the team.

[edhopper]

137. A weird turnover

Because it hit someone's heel could decide the game.

[SoFlaBro]

138. Getting very exciting now.

[bdamomma]

139. I'm not a big

football watcher, but this game is pretty good. Wow it's tied!!

[jalan48]

140. Jennings is playing a hell of a game

[Sympthsical]

141. Should be the MVP if Niners win, IMO

[jalan48]

143. I agree

[PCIntern]

144. Yep!

[Sympthsical]

142. This is tense

So nervous for Purdy.

Partner stopped watching. His heart rate was through the roof. I'm not far behind him, and I'm not even the major 49ers fan in this house.

[PCIntern]

145. Know how you feel...

At least you have some Super Bowl rings. In Philly, during that Super Bowl, that we somehow won, I thought I was going to have a stroke.

[Sympthsical]

146. I'm a native Bears fan

But my partner and in-laws are so intensely Niners, it's starting to rub off, particularly this year.

Ooft. This is a lot of time to give to Mahomes.

[edhopper]

147. If SF loses

It's because of two plays. The missed extra point and the punt hitting the players foot..
Without those, they win

[Sympthsical]

148. Two big mistakes on their first drives as well

It felt like Purdy was let down in the beginning. They should've had a lot more points on the board.

[edhopper]

149. The turnovers

Killed them

[Stinky The Clown]

150. Overtime

[Emile]

152. Three seconds on clock and KC ties game.

[bdamomma]

154. Wow

New rules too.

[FarPoint]

157. It is a New Game!

Two magnificent teams ...I like them both...

[edbermac]

151. Is anyone's TV reception freezing?

The image froze for about 15 seconds a couple of times

[Emile]

153. Not on DirecTV

[Stinky The Clown]

155. SF to receive OT kickoff

[petronius]

156. Why take the ball first in OT? Seems like it would be better to know what

you have to do, or even give your defense a chance to win it outright...

[elleng]

158. JUST checked the score, for the 2d time, and what do I see???

TIED, going to OVERTIME!!! 10th inning!!!

[CanonRay]

160. I am completely unimpressed with the commercial

and the movie trailers. They all look like drive-in garbage.

[Sympthsical]

161. They FINALLY called holding

The Chiefs have been doing it all game.

I get (and even prefer) just letting them play. But in OT with the game on the line, refs needed to clamp down finally.

[SYFROYH]

162. Solid defensive play is such a huge part of this game.

[jalan48]

163. Jim Nance sucks

[Stinky The Clown]

164. Do or die for KC under new rules

If KC gets a field goal (tie) they keep playing

If KC scores touchdown they win.

If they don't score, SF wins

[Stinky The Clown]

165. Is it me or does the CBS announcer crew seem to favor KC?

[Sympthsical]

166. They have been heavily for them all game

It's eliciting a lot of commentary, lol.

But I'm like one of the only people on earth who likes Tony Romo. He's been entertaining.

[SYFROYH]

167. What a game!!!!

KC at the Niners 10.

[SYFROYH]

169. KC scores TD and WINNSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!111

[Stinky The Clown]

168. TD KC - its over

[jalan48]

170. Tough loss for San Francisco but tip of the hat to Mahomes and the Chiefs

[PCIntern]

171. Let the RW gnashing of teeth begin!

Good night everyone. It’s been a pleasure.

[FalloutShelter]

176. What a game.

Goodnight and thanks for hosting, PC

[bdamomma]

172. Wow

what a game!!!!! Taylor is going to be celebrating tonight.

Good night everyone!!!

[nolabear]

173. KC! KC! KC!!!!!

Okay the last quarter and OT was worth the whole 32 house. 😃

[edhopper]

174. The missed extra point

Changed the game.

[Stinky The Clown]

175. Indeed it did.

[MerryBlooms]

177. Just like with my Bills, there's always next year! Great game!

Congratulations Chiefs and fans! Wonderful season and awesome team!! 🥰
