    Not watching Super Bowl

    After witnessing some of the most horrific officiating ever in yesterday's 2 Championship games...I have absolutely no intentions of watching the upcoming Snoozer Bowl.

    I'm in no way, shape or form a Saints fan...but I feel so bad for the team.
    Incredibly poor 'no call' robs them of a SuperBowl appearance.
    Worst mugging of a receiver that I've ever seen...
    Robey Coleman had multiple obvious pass interference plays during the game...but the refs were 'blind'.

    And, of course, Tom Brady....who I do hate.
    Gets yet another phantom "roughing the passer" call that saves the Patriots.... again!
    If the Patriots didn't play in such a sad sack Division we wouldn't have been forced to watch them in half of their SuperBowl appearances.
    I'd love to have the NFL make the Patriots play in the AFC North!

    I hope that the ratings suck for this year's SuperBowl and the NFL takes a bath on it.


    There.....rant over.

    As much as I like seeing the "hometown team" win, the Super Bowl is one of the most over-hyped over-priced boring wastes of time of any professional sport. I'd rather watch chess.

    P.S. Go Pats!

    Who is supposed to be the halftime entertainment?

    BTW: I view the NFL much like NASCAR....
    Huge growth and popularity,
    then stupid decisions, overpricing,
    and an inconsistent, boring product leads to a rapidly declining fan base and viewership.

    I am not a huge football guy but this year the Chief's were a lot of fun to watch. Some of the calls were horrible. Game changing horrible. But it is what it is. The roughing the passer call was just ridiculous. With that being said I feel worse for the Saint's. That missed call was so so so bad. I say the Chief's and Saint's play a game somewhere else during the stupidbowl!

    I mean, I’ll be watching

    Since I was 10 years old to now (27) I will have watched the Patriots play in 9 SBs, life is tough!

    The "problem" wit the NFL is their Business Model to support their cost structure requires TV ratings that can only be obtained by making everyone "happy".

    When you try to make everyone "happy" you end up making everybody MAD!

    Yeah, I am MAD.

    Chiefs

    I heard on a sports talk show that an official will often warn players that line up in the neutral zone and receivers check all the time: but oh, no; not Dee Ford when the official that threw the flag is on the Patriots' sideline. Brady threw a high, hard pass that was deflected and the much maligned Chiefs' defense made a play that should have put them in the Super Bowl. All replays favored Pats and Brady gets breathed on and the official who had a bad angle on the play throws a flag. Such is the continuing fate of the Kansas City Chiefs. I won't be watching the Stupor Bowl.

    Yep!
    Game was over and done...won by the Chiefs
    .....except for that pesky neutral zone infraction....
    NFL obviously wants the Patriots in the SuperBowl every year....not sure that's such a great idea....
