The majority of NFL owners backed Trump and the GOP in both 2016 and 2020.

Especially in the playoffs, every single even remotely controversial call they defer to the expert.  Last night both experts were deferred to like a dozen times each... every single time they agreed with the refs (except for the one catch that should've been challenged but they didn't have enough time to see it wasn't caught) and then promptly explained why the refs did or did not throw the flag on a play.

You'd think that bringing those people on (and I'm glad Fox did that first like 12ish years ago with Mike P and then duplicated by the other networks over the years) and explaining, in excruciating detail why the refs do what they do, that people would shut the hell up.

You don't know what you're talking about and by and large the refs do a great job.  Stop being butthurt as to why your team lost.  Newsflash, if your team lost, it wasn't the refs fault.  People need to stop having biases and look at things objectively.  This applies to sports.  This applies to politics too.

/RARELY games are reffed poorly and roughing the passer and pass interference needs to be reviewed by New York like Mike P did with the USFL (which I still give them major props for doing)... but for the most part, they do a good job.

The problem when the Chiefs are in your regional circle of teams to root for, is that you have to remember you share with with Missouri.

Go Browns!

Yes, but if I may, those three points is because the Bengle player shoved Mr. Mahomes after he stepped out of bounds on a critical play and added another 15 yards.

It's CERTAINLY wasn't making short work, but that was a very very big bungle.

Fun Fact: It's neither the first time the Chiefs made it to the Super Bowl, and for the 57th time, nor the Lion's first time either.

Sportsball matters quite a bit to the same 18-35 demographic that Republicans gleefully mock for not voting. Either this is a sad attempt at outreach or this guy needs to grow up.

I gotta say, they almost had me thinking there could be a franchise with Mayfield. Like if they built an offense around his strengths and weaknesses.... And then 2022.

The problem is that a lot of these calls are subjective. What gets called Holding in one game by one set of officials might not in another.  It might be a hold on this down but won't get called on the next. Or Pass Interference. How many times have we heard the booth tell us that the refs are going to "let them play" after we see some egregious (in another game perhaps) PI. Grounding can be called objectively, most of the time. Holding? The one that so many games turn on? I know people who have put down the NFL over it. You think about all the money riding on that betting line in any given game and it makes you wonder.
 
2023-01-30 10:26:19 PM  
Oh, and no I thought they called a good game. Especially the penalty on Ossai, lololol, Bungles.

Just to follow up, why are we still asking "Why is this GOPer talking about (fill-in-the-blank stupid thing they're talking about)"? What else are they going to talk about? They have no actual policies. All they have is whatever dumb, made-up grievance their constituents care about.

This is what you voted for America. You just had to vote the Grand Ole' Party of White People into the House majority. You've seen all the same lunacy the rest of us have & you thought, "Yeah, they look good to me". You put the keys to the country's wallet into the hands of conspiracy theorists, grifters, racists, traffickers, intellectually simple people, who think its appropriate to bring up NFL fandom on the floor of the House of Representatives. Stay classy.

Having watched the game the officiating was biased in favor of the Chiefs. The penalties against Cincy were pretty marginal calls at crucial moments in the game.

I agree with everything in this article and I'm in MN so I have no skin in the game.

Once again we have a Republican representative standing up and accusing the other side of that which they are guilty of.

Never gets old.

You people want to fix the MARXIST stuff the very, very Marxist, and very other things, people do to your FAVORITE PRESIDENT, but, then, you steal the election from HERSCHEL, and others, because there are others, you don't know, because the STEAL.  And, then, because THEY want to steal, and they steal from Herschel, who is great, and is great.  He's great, and people say he's great.

You take a man, who I know.  I've known him, and I've known him a long time.  Some say a very long time.  And, he's great.  This guy, he ran, and, boy, could he run. He ran, something like the most.  Ever.  This guy, he won, and they stole it because they don't like TRUMP.  That's it, they don't like Trump, and they don't like losing, so they said "let's not lose, let's do a witch hunt", and they did and the witch hunt was the worst, and I mean worst witch hunt.

So, they have a Super Bowl, but you can't call it a Super Bowl since the marketing people, but I can call it the Super Bowl, because I started the Super Bowl.  I said, NFL, I do things, I build things, let's do a Super Bowl, and the football people, who I know, said "yes, Sir!  This is the best idea.  You should be a team owner, but the Jews and Blacks wouldn't like it".  Jews and Blacks?  After all I did for them, with the churches and wherever the Jews go?  I was the best president for regular Americans and also for Blacks and Jews, WHO DO NOT LOVE ME.  But I was the best for them.  Because I built very very many homes and apartments in those neighborhoods.

Look. I grew up in Ohio, so I would have been thrilled to see the Bengals to go all the way (if the Browns could not). I knew the Chiefs were the favourites to win the game though, and that's what happened.

Better luck next year, Bengals.

He's a Republican from Missouri and part of a fan base that still does that annoying-ass tomahawk chop (or whatever the fark it is when they pretend they're native Americans). Everything is always only about them and their bullshiat myopic grievances.

Also, the refs farked the Bengals. I look forward to Mahomes getting humiliated by the Eagles.

I was rooting for the Bengals mostly because I was at UNL when ZT was QB, and he always seemed like a nice guy with a high FB IQ, but even my dumb ass knew this game didn't mean anything besides determining who was going to get a mud hole stomped in their ass by the Eagles.
