What teams will play in the next Superbowl?

[oosik]

I'm wondering - - when will the Superbowl be on PeeCock or some other "pay only" service. Man - I can see it coming.

Bill Bergey lived down the street from me in my neighborhood. He also spoke at our HS football banquets. It was really cool for him to hand you your varsity letter and shake your hand, etc.
I remember the first time I met him, I was a little guy and he drove a big luxury car. I was at a small convenience store on my bike. He got out and there he stood. A giant of a man to me at the time. I was probably 7-8 years old. He walked around to the back of his car, popped the truck, took out a poster of himself and signed it right there.
A real nice man and a great representative of my area.

I was watching the Browns / Texans game and turned it off as I was pulling for the Browns and knew it was a lost cause. Told my wife I'd like to catch some of the Chiefs / Dolphin's game, and she was jumping in the shower and told me to turn on football if I wanted to later last night, and couldn't find that game.

Honestly, I thought "peecock" was NBC

I gave up Thursday night games due to the games being on Prime.

Bad news, no more watching NFL football games if they go to paid channels which I don't already pay for. Good new, no more watching NFL football games wasting my time on something that doesn't affect my life.

He was my football hero growing up in the 70's.

From what I've read of him personally, same story as yours.

To think he broke the pay scale being the highest paid NFL defensive player in the 70's for like a 4 year contract worth 1 million dollars, which comes out to a little over 5 million in days cash. Think about that... highest paid defensive NFL player being paid a little more than 1 million a year in 2023...

Nick Bosa is making 34 million a year right now...

His son Jake was an outstanding lacrosse player.
We had a bar & restaurant in our town where Bill Bergey & Frank LeMaster would hang out and have beers sometimes. Ironically, it was owned by Jets Hall of Famer Joe Klecko, who was also in my area for quite a long time. His son, Danny Klecko played for the Eagles during Big Red’s tenure here.
I have a lot of retired Eagles living in my town. Dick Vermeil owned a ranch just a few miles west of me in Unionville.

Frank LeMaster

There is a name I hadn't heard for a long time... I didn't even realize he had died last year.

Amazing what a good coach can do with a football team...

I'm curious exactly how long Sirianni is going to be around? I get the fact that the guy is emotional (no more than Vermeil was) but the guy really does come across as a butthole (Sirianni).

All depends on Monday night.
If they lose it’s probably a 50/50 chance he gets fired. Howie doesn’t let problems go on very long
If they win convincingly, I say 80% chance he will stay.
Have to remember, the year Douggy left the Eagles were a 4 win team Sirianni took over and turned it around to a winning season. Next year Super Bowl. This year off to best start in NFL until game 12.
Really he has only been “bad” for a month +.

I agree that it is a shame that the NFL coverage is being divided up to paid outlets like Prime and Peacock. I have Prime and I watch Thursday night games, but I would not have paid for Prime for that reason. This is getting to be like the big heavyweight fights of old.

Prediction:

Super Bowl will be “pay per view” in next 3 years

And here I thought the Eagles were the "Dirty Birds" LOL

I fairness to the saints coach, the last play was not his choice and by all accounts from what I've read, it was the team and Jamie Winston that allowed the play to be run as the coaches instructions were to take a knee.

Funny, now it's kind of a internet war on behalf of Jamie Winston, defending his actions. Anyway you cut it, IMO the QB leads the team, and for Winston to do that tells me what I assumed about him anyway.

You can defend the saints anyway you want, but there is a difference between kicking a field a field goal with over 5 minutes left in the game making it 34-0 vs running a play when you're up by over 20 points and can run the clock out to end the game.

Like it or not, the Saints were playing by the rules. If some don't like the rule then they should change it. I know of no rule that says the losing coach should come shake hands with the winning coach but when the losing coach just comes over and curses out the winning coach it is just bad sportsmanship. The Atlanta coach was just upset because he knew he was going to be fired that night due to his bad record. Atlanta and the Saints have been vicious rivals for years and had many conflicts over the years and many dirty plays between them. It is easy to understand why some Saints players would want to do more to frustrate the Falcons.
