NFL Championship Game Running Thread

Yes, AP datelines it as Las Vegas.

I was told that people had become disillusioned with football.

Something, something, kneeling, something special song, something.

If there was ever a prime opportunity for a sequel to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - this is it. Is Michael Irvin allowed in? How many "pros" are making the trek to satisfy the corporate types, the casino whales and desperate local sports yakkers on radio row? How many current and former players are going to be cashing in on various appearance fees at special events, golf outings etc and radio row shilling opportunities? I can smell the desperation from here.

I'm also intrigued by the whole Paradise, Nevada thing. Does the AP dateline the stadium as LAS VEGAS? And does Eddie Money, who played a pregame show at the Wardrobe Malfunction Super Bowl, still have tickets?

Sadly, Eddie is no longer with us.

I know. I still wondered if he had a connection.

Super Bowl LV (24,835) doesn't count because of COVID.

Super Bowl I (61,946) wasn't a sellout.

Super Bowl LIV in 2020 in Miami (49ers-Chiefs) only had 62,417.

Super Bowl XXVI in 1992 in Minneapolis (Bills-Washington) had 63,130.

Super Bowl XXXVII in 2003 in San Diego (Raiders-Bucs) had 67,603.

Five others had sub-70,000.

Wasn't the Raiders-Bucs Super Bowl moved to San Diego from another location for some reason?
PS: Just looked it up. Was supposed to be a San Francisco Super Bowl, but the 49ers couldn't get a new stadium deal.

I've been told by several on this board that the product is so bad it's unwatchable, and the league is sinking fast.

Gambling's a helluva drug.

We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the Swifties began to take hold.

In case you were wondering where the Pro Bowl went. I'm sure Gardner is going to kick some touch-football ash.

Fun fact: my next-door neighbor is an absolute ringer for Eddie Money. And female, which makes it even better. And she's kind of a piece of work, so the dialogue between my wife and me is often something like "Eddie Money is on our side of the fence again, pulling weeds." "Has she asked you to 'gimme some water'?"
