BBQ vs. Sourdough: Super Bowl LVIII thread

DAVE KRIEG MOTHERFUCKERS

 

He was one of the few breaks in there. Between 1988 and 2000 the Chiefs had six players lead their team in passing yardage, and Krieg and Rich Gannon (for one season each) were the only two that didn't play for the 49ers before they got to Kansas City. Later on, Alex Smith brought that tradition back. It's an odd connection between those franchises.

 

Rams-Titans did mark a shift in the Super Bowl, but nothing quite like ...



As much as many like to wax poetic about the AFL, it was considered AAA when compared to the NFL.

Before that day, it honestly felt like the college All-American all-stars' exhibition against the NFL champs.

 

I really think the 1963 Chargers could have beaten the 1963 Bears. Chargers had an unbelievable offense and the Bears could not score against air.

 

We're expecting severe weather this evening, possibly including tornadoes. Rain is moving in now. If the CBS affiliate has to cut into the game to track a spin-up tornado 100 miles away, in some rural community that 200 people live in, that weatherman going to be the most despised man in the state.
If there's a weird spike in ratings for Nickelodeon's ratings across the Deep South, you'll know why.

 

Ahahahahaha I am just so used to associating Dave Krieg w/the Chiefs that I instinctively yelled his name. Terrible job by me. STEVE DEBERG MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!

 

Super Bowl XXXII actually started a trend of games sort of getting better. That game came down to the last possession -- and also the first time the AFC won in my memory (There was a time when I wondered if the AFC would ever win again). But it was also the first of a trend of close game, blowout, close game, blowout, through the Raiders-Bucs. Since then every game other than the Broncos-Seahawks has been relatively close.

 

It was so bad for a while there that people were absolutely thrilled when Steelers-Cowboys (the Neil O'Donnell/Larry Brown game) was still close in the second half.

 

That's possible. But that was one of six possible AFL/NFL matchups prior to the merger. It still would have been quite the outlier. Had that game been played and the Chargers won, it would have been a marking point in pro football history, too. (Although I doubt Tobin Rote would have followed up by doing a commercial in panty hose.)

 

I remember the 1983 Raiders smoking the Redskins vividly because I hated the Skins and the Raiders looked so much cooler in their silver and black to my 7 year old self.

Once we got into the Patriots era with their second win it was a decade of very competitive games until the Seahawks destroyed the Broncos.

 

There was a few minute span in the fourth where it looked like the Raiders were going to pull off the greatest comeback of all-time. It was 34-9 Bucs and the Raiders scored twice but failed to get the 2-pt conversion both times. They were in the ballpark of a miracle at 34-21, but they really would have made things interesting at 34-25, or even 34-23. Somewhat surprisingly kicked off w/a little more than six minutes left and the Bucs ate up four minutes before turning it over on downs. Raiders still had a prayer but Gannon somehow got pick sixed twice more.

 

James Brown has so much makeup on that he looks like a Claymation character.
