NFL 2018 - cheaters never win, except for the super bowls and stuff :(

[Deutsche Gopher Fan]

Rumors flying that this could be the last game of both Belichick and Brady.

My sister is landing any minute now in Minneapolis with the contingent of Pats VIP fans. She lucked into a ticket. All expenses covered and they fly back tonight after the game.

Wonder if they’re part of the pre game VIP stuff that our resident bartender is working today

All she told me was that the pre and post game parties (morgues?) and ticket were free. I have a hunch the barf bags on the way back will be the extra large variety.

I heard a rumor that Santa Claus beat the Easter Bunny in a unicorn race.

Weather couldn't have been better for the SB. Cold, snow, and colder. I know it won't bother the teams' fans, but all the non-winter areas' fans and media......hee hee

I loved the espn moron who said it can’t ever come back because it’s too cold to make money.
Ummm....what money is being lost? People are out all over spending lots of money.

Is there a ton of incentive to actually host (from the NFL's standpoint)? Doesn't all revenue go to the NFL, then out to teams equally?

Obviously outside businesses benefit from the influx of tourist $$$, but that is secondary and not really a concern of the Shield....

Yes he was arguing the sponsors weren’t making money. Which I’m not really understanding. People were out and about and spending a lot of money at the local places.

They’re insane. ESPN has zero credibility regardless. This is the network which gave us Skip Bayless, Stephen A Smith, and every other airbag.

I would not doubt that when all is said and done the host city takes a net loss on hosting the SB.

Nor would I, especially since the city tends to benefit indirectly (hotel taxes, meals taxes, etc.) but spend directly (police overtime) etc. But I'd also doubt that it would cripple the city for decades, like the Olympics.

I’m absolutely sure of it. You know how many hotel rooms, rental cars,and other perks the hose provides the NFL? It’s monstrous.

Sports in general are a net negative to any city.

I can see that if they lose. If they win though, I can't see how either could turn their back on the opportunity to pass the Stillers and win 7.

That one began as satire--a metaphor on pagans' efforts to get christians to war against each other. Infowars then ran it as an actual event. flaggy was so traumatized he was offline for weeks.
