Florida Legislative Committee Passes Measure to Ban the Use of the Word 'Gay' in Schools

Buccaneers Lose on Last Second Gay Field Goal

Coincidence? Hmm …

Man, every game this week has come down to the last play.

Well crap. I really wanted the Bills to win.

Inexcusable bad time management at the end. A squib kick would have taken time off the clock, and the D should have been playing to stop the quick passes. Losing the game when you’re ahead with 13 seconds left and you are kicking off is a fireable offense for the defensive coordinator.

Every time CBS puts up a graphic about the Chiefs, I want to open a box of Cheez-Its.

And every time I see Tyreek Hill tackled I always wonder what the flag is for. But it is his damn yellow shoes.

That was one hell of a game. Just after Butker kicked the FG to put the Chiefs up 26-21, the wife wanted to watch some TV. So I hit record and had her put my phone away so I couldn't pick it up and see a notification. When I got back to it, I normally skip through the talk and just watch the plays, but I watched every minute of the rest of the game (except commercials).

And Yes, I agree the OT rules in the playoffs need to be changed. KC was the beneficiary this time, but just a couple of years ago they watched Brady do the same thing to them. Each team should get the ball no matter what.

I know. I winced when the ball went in for a touchback.

Yup. Each team should get the ball at least once. College football has the right idea.

Deciding the season on a coin toss isn’t a great idea. Both defenses were dead on their feet by the end, so the coin toss winner was all but guaranteed to win.

But the Bills might have known that Mahomes could move the ball 40+ yards in 10 seconds with 3 timeouts. They should have taken their chances on a kick return instead… probably knock 5-8 seconds off the clock and make it a Hail Mary situation. Oh well, they probably figured the D could keep Mahomes from getting that far, and the Bills have a bad history with kickoff returns on the last play of a playoff game (Titans), so…

Here is a curious possibility. According to the NFL rotation, odd-numbered SBs designate the AFC team as the visitor and the NFC team as the host, and even numbered ones the opposite. This is LVI, so the AFC team is the "home" team. Which could be strangely twisted if the Rams win on Sunday, because that means they would be the visiting team in their own stadium.

Wonder if they will get to use their own locker room. Or will they have to use the "visiting" locker room. Both the Rams and Chargers have their own locker rooms, but the visiting locker room is much smaller and according to former Viking's coach Zimmer, there is not room to have a full squad meeting.

More about the '22 season and beyond, but Saints coach Payton is stepping down:

Saints' Payton steps away, unsure of what's next

Saints coach Sean Payton has decided to step away after 16 years with the franchise. "I don't know what's next -- and it kind of feels good," he said.

Rumor is McCarthy in Dallas will have 1 more year to prove himself, then Payton will come in to make sure Jerry gets his money out of Dak.

 

[Herdfan]

Works for me.

 

[Thomas Veil]

LOL. Bengals-Chiefs is at halftime, and while the commentators (Bill Cowher, Boomer Esaison, et al) are talking about the game, they’re being largely drowned out by loud music—the audio feed from the half-time act.

It’s not loud in the background…it’s actually a musical audio feed overriding all other audio. It lasted the entire segment.

That’s a new one on me.

Hahaha, holy smokes, we have it on, and the wife was on her computer, I was like, "Is that music coming from your machine?", that's a production clusterfuck

 

[Thomas Veil]

Sophisticated audio boards can mix down discrete audio channels twenty ways to Sunday. Yes, this mix was a royal screw up, but once the halftime report started there was probably little they could do about it. The middle of a live segment is not the time to be experimenting with volume levels and reassigning audio channels.

 

[Thomas Veil]

How ‘bout that? It wasn’t a bad mix after all.

'I didn't hear anything you just said': CBS broadcasters struggle during Bengals-Chiefs halftime show

On site at Arrowhead Stadium for the Bengals-Chiefs AFC title game, CBS broadcasters struggled to hear anything over the loud halftime music.

Nice job on the halftime crew. They acted like they weren’t even aware of the problem.

 

[Yoused]

All these close playoff games suggest that the SB will be over before the middle of the 3rd.

 

[Herdfan]

I would have almost bet my house that what just happened, wouldn't happen.

 

[Thomas Veil]

Oh, same for everybody. I don’t think in September anybody had the Cincinnati pegged for the Super Bowl.

 

[Thomas Veil]

If the Rams win it’ll be because of Cooper Kupp.

In fact, OBJ’s dad is already composing a tweet asking why Matt Stafford isn’t throwing to his son.

September? I was thinking this morning. LOL.
