BBQ vs. Cheesesteaks: Super Bowl LVII running thread

The Skipper and Sampson editions of the podcast are often filled with theoreticals and brainstorming. I haven’t listened yet, but I’m guessing they were in that mode.

It’s a rare opportunity LeBatard affords listeners to hear from someone who ran a team and someone who ran a major network hash out these issues, even as infuriating it is sometimes to listen to Sampson. Even when I think both are way off — and I think Skipper here is — hearing the way the brains work on guys who had that much control over the industry is well worth the time.

 

If I want to hear the insane ramblings of a substance addict, I'd just as soon walk down to a local homeless encampment by the river.

 

I would guess 98% of the audience would disappear. No way they’d do something this dumb.

 

I’ve made 2023 the year to eliminate assholes from my life.

I like when people volunteer for the ignore button.

I call a few addicts friends. I find their points of view more interesting than yours on most subjects.

Bye, asshole.

To argue with the people saying that the holding penalty shouldn't have been called is like arguing with the homeless crack addict at the encampment down by the river.

Yes, the broadcaster would absolutely say no.

 

Not getting into the crack addict thing, but that NFL Films clips is pretty obvious and egregious. But I guess they should have pocketed the flag because he didn't fall down?

 

Also, Mahomes has made no-look passes in the past. Whether he was looking JuJu's way the whole time is irrelevant.

 

Olson said it shouldn't have been called. If I remember correctly, Pereira said the same. I guess you believe they think like crack addicts, too. It was a weak call after 58 minutes of the officials not calling a single defensive hold or pass interference. We already know that they let at least one blatant pass interference call go earlier.

That you have to rely on a lame ad hominem attack demonstrates the weakness of your claim.

 

They should have pocketed the flag because they had been doing so all game long. Do a better job the first 58 minutes or at least be consistent at the end.

 

Both Olson and Pereira get paid by a network whose best interest is to have a fantastic game come down to a last second play. The hold happened. The hold was called. Anything else is the insane ramblings of crack addicts.

 

Now you are reaching for a conspiracy theory to support your claim. You really think Olsen thinks that way? You want to ignore that Pereira does not like to criticize the calls of officials on the field, especially at such a critical moment. You're funny, but in the laughing at you sort of way.
