BBQ vs. Sourdough: Super Bowl LVIII thread

It was a Super Bowl scorigami. Every Super Bowl except four has been a scorigami, the only identical scores are 27-17 (Wash-Miami, Dallas-Pitt) and 27-10 (Dal-Denver, LA Raiders-Eagles). No winning team had ever scored 25, no losing team scored 22.

 

Honest to goodness, this is how I feel about the Swift-Kelce thing. I'm fine with them and it seems pretty legitimate and if it pisses off morons, all the better. But this is also a fantastic way for Swift & the NFL-- by miles and miles the top brands in their respective fields--to continue getting further and further away from their competition.

 

That's toilets, you idiot. Stick to lecturing us about science and math.

 

So what was everyone's thoughts on Tracker last night?

123.4 million viewers. The Super Bowl is our last shared TV experience.

 

Actually there's another pair of Super Bowls that share a final score:
X: Steelers 21, Cowboys 17
XLVI: Giants 21, Patriots 17
(and both those games involved teams who played each other in multiple SBs)

Also, no other team period had scored 22 in a Super Bowl until last night. The only other time a team put up 25 was the Steelers in XLV, when they lost to the Packers 31-25.

 

Absolutely. You had pre-teen girls all over the country interested in the Super Bowl, and a countless dads who have been forced to listen to admittedly catchy pop music more than usual for the past few months. I had a 6-year-old ask yesterday afternoon if Travis Kelce was going to propose after the game. There is only one person on the planet who could make Travis Fucking Kelce a household name for a first-grade girl.

 

1997. The Eddie George Oilers had a 13:27 drive on Thanksgiving against the Cowboys.

 

With Eddie no doubt averaging his customary 3.4 yards per carry.

 

Yep, that's how you gotta do it with that. Just Martyball the fuck out of the defense and drain every second from the play clock. Easier said than done. Got to have the line, the back and the coach.

And a shitty opposing defense to boot.
