NFL (since 2016)

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

The BBC coverage is actually provided by Whisper and paid for by the NFL. That London franchise will happen eventually.

[zebthecat]

and Sky can fuck off.

When did Demi Lovato become black?

[zebthecat]

Rooting for the chiefs. It would be fab for Andy Reid to finally win one and Mohomes is such a ludicrous talent. Just hope his O-line can contain the 49ers pass rush.

[cup of tea]

Just settling down for it now. Sticking to SKY coverage ahead of BBC borefest. Large stuffed crust pepperoni on the way!

Bang Bang Niner Gang!

[normannomates]

Come on the CHIEFS

[White Pony]

"But like proper football for me. Unless my team is playing, not interested. No Vikings, no thanks. I know, I have not chosen my teams wisely."

[Nutsin]

"I expect Jimmy G to throw it more tomorrow than he did against Green Bay. Chiefs Linebackers are bang average so I expect Kittle, Juice and Deebo to get some nice plays. I expect Kansas to score more in the first half than the second with half time adjustments stopping Mahomes We did it to Lamar Jackson when we played in Baltimore earlier in the season. Niners will turn up the heat on the run game second half and control the game and the clock. 'M going for a come from behind victory for San Fran. 34-31"

[zebthecat]

Grumpster 11:35 Sat Feb 1 The scary thing is that Tevin Coleman is stil their number one. Mostert got the plays because Coleman was crocked. It helps when you have George Kittle and Kyle Juszczyk blasting massive holes in the line.

[zebthecat]

And that's before you get to Kelce.

[Hani]

"Chiefs will score 30 at least even with the niners defense, I think they win by 7+"

[zebthecat]

"Richard Sherman is going have his hands full tomorrow. He will have to read Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes minds to keep tabs on Hill, Watkins and Hardman."

[Grumpster]

"If Mostert has another good game, that'll be a huge help. Bloke has been a revelation. And I always knew Sherman was good (though obviously hated him at the seahawks), but every game he just seems to turn up and so it's no wonder the D has been playing so well with him helping to run it. Bloody wish west ham's players had his mentality."

[Takashi Miike]

"love your defence, grumps but I worry about how you handle all their potential match winners in mahomes, williams, hill and kelce. the one positive you can take is from that new orleans game where you showed you can win a high scoring game, and their secondary isn't great so sanders, kittle and samuels could have a big night"

[Grumpster]

"49ers have the best team for me, but we dont have a QB anywhere near the class of Mahomes, so if he has a cracker, he can easily take it away from us."

[RBshorty]

"Like both teams. So don't mind who wins either way. But as the saying goes.""ùDefence wins Championships.""ù 49ers 28 Chiefs 25"

[Takashi Miike]

*did a good job*

[Takashi Miike]

"I want the 49ers because their coach for a good job for my mob, but I've got a feeling the Chiefs will win"

[cup of tea]

"So, just iver 24 hours to go and it is a sorry state of affairs when you look forward to watching the Superbowl more than football these days. Even though my team (Packers) are not playing I will be staying up for this (off on Monday) as the PATSIES are not in it so at least someone 'new' wins it. What do we reckon then? 49ers have played well all season but I fancy Mahomes to have a big game tomorrow. 49ers 24 Chiefs 34"

[crystal falace]

"I watched the Pro bowl you didnt miss anything, not a single tackle, they just stopped and cuddled as soon as they got close to eachother, and the commentators spent the whole game talking about Kobe Bryant. Saw a stat today that Eli manning never won a playoff game in any other year apart from the superbowls. crazy how hot he got for 2 runs while being distinctly average his entire career"

[zebthecat]

Pro bowl was last weekend. This weekend is the big one.

[lab]

"Is it the Pro Bowl this weekend,is it on sky?"

[RBshorty]

Crystal. You being a Pats fan. I expect nothing but disdain when it comes to Eli. But the guy is going into Canton. When the history books are written about this era. Eli and the Giants will be the fly in the ointment when people start getting misty eyed over Saint Tom and the Patriots. And that alone would be more than enough for most NFL fans outside of New England. For Eli to get into the HOF. Tragic news about Doleman. I shit that disease.!

[Lee Trundle]

A decent piece on sky sports on both tight ends. https://www.skysports.com/nfl/news/12118/11918924/george-kittle-vs-travis-kelce-who-is-the-best-tight-end-in-the-super-bowl I'd have to agree with Cook here. Kelce narrowly gets it.
