Title: Once again the Patriots benefit from calls from the officials....

They had one penalty for 10 yards.

And then there's this: https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/an-ill-timed-whistle-likely-robbed-the-jaguars-from-a-trip-to-the-super-bowl/ar-AAuZiil?ocid=spartandhp (https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/an-ill-timed-whistle-likely-robbed-the-jaguars-from-a-trip-to-the-super-bowl/ar-AAuZiil?ocid=spartandhp)

I read an article about how the league was dreading a Super Bowl between Jacksonville and Minnesota. It makes you wonder.

As I said a couple of weeks ago, just have a ceremonial awarding of 7 points to the Patriots as part of the coin toss.

What a miserable Super Bowl.  The past 2 weeks, I am 0-6 as a fan.  I have zero interest in Eagles vs. Satan's annointed team.

I thought the PI that led to the Pats TD at the end of the half was questionable.  I also thought the Pats got away with some PI of their own, but that's how it goes.

Did anyone see the TV ad Brady himself took out, saying he wants to keep playing.  Very strange....when I started watching the game as a kid the great QBs in the league were Griese, Bradshaw, Stabler and Staubach. 

I can't even begin to imagine one of those guys doing a TV ad during a playoff game talking about how much they love the game and want to keep playing. 

The players are bigger than the game now, apparently.  Sports gets more ridiculous all the time.   :wtf:
