NFL Super Bowl (2024)

Underdog Chiefs pays big dividends in the championship round and scrambles the leaderboard with yours truly moving into first in the points competition and sosayusall surging to third after a disastrous divisional round with a perfect championship round to remain in contention. As there are 15 points available on the board (10 underdog + MVP) theoretically half of the field remain in competition for the points race. As a good will fairness gesture I will lock in my picks in on my first post so there’s no concern for me gaming the system by picking the same team and MVP as the next closest competitors.

Good luck everyone & thanks for playing!

I’m somewhat de facto hedged off

I’m somewhat curious what the points ranking would be if it was just straight two points and one points. I have to imagine I’d be at least a few spots higher

Taylor is playing the day before the Super Bowl in Tokyo but with the 17 hour time difference it’s almost two days before. Several news articles have pointed out how she can get back to Vegas in time for the game. It helps that she has her own private jet.

In fairness and transparency: I 100% gamed the system. I saw that I needed the full 15 points to catch sphere. The only way was to go against the underdog.

Given these MVP options, I always would have gone with “other”

Patrick might need to lay off the new Subway footlong chocolate chip cookies.

Mahomes dad apparently arrested for DWI in the week leading up to the big game. Never good to have family distractions. This is reportedly anywhere between Mahomes senior’s 3rd and 6th DWI charge (depending on the news source). How many of those do you usually get before some jail time?

My guess would be somewhere between 3 and 6.

Just when you thought you couldn’t dislike a family any more, dad says hold my beer…

Reportedly facing 2-10 years.

I wonder if the events on the homefront, not necessarily the DUI but events that may have led to the DUI, has made Pat such a whiny bitch this season. I felt that something was off with him, and that doesn’t include his receivers with hands of stone.

But supposedly all the private jet parking spaces are spoken for. I’m sure $$$ will prevail.

I’m so looking forward to Reba McEntire singing the National Anthem!

It occurred to me earlier in the day

When Joe DiMaggio & Marylin Monroe were dating (then married) did they say she would “ruin baseball?”

Probably, but not like this

Could Taylor Swift be KCs/NFLs Yoko?

Michael Jackson + Lisa Marie?

OR - those long-time Hollywood couples that no one talks about, because “that’s boring?”

Well considering DiMaggio was already retired…

Yoko ruined the Beetles, because she inserted herself into the band’s business. Unless Swift starts runnning practice and demanding to call plays, I think we’re safe. I think she’s busy enough with her own career.
