SB12
“Smash Brady” sounds better than “Super Bowl” right? I’m writing SB12 on my shoes before the game today…..
I entered 35 teams at draftkings and then just quietly closed my laptop. Enough.
The good news is that I have a lot of Pats on those teams, some even including Brady so I will be able to watch this game and root for players, not a particular team. Hopefully it’s gonna be a “someone scores, I win” kind of day….
And for 2 teams I don’t like very much, that’ll have to do…..
The only question I have that will remain unanswered: which player(s) got caught up in the Hotlanta lifestyle, blew off curfew and are gonna ass-out today? It’s gotta be more than you can count on one hand, right?
yahoo reporting big confrontation in Laker locker room last night after game with GS. Walton supposedly preaching sharing the ball, vet guys Beasley JaVale and Stephenson weren’t having any of it. what a mess and Magic brought it all on himself.
i mean, what did he expect bringing Lance and Beasley aboard? I like Javale but really he’s got no business talking shit to Walton, he should shut the fuck up and be thankful he’s got this opportunity. Luckily the Lakers can get rid of those guys and not really miss a beat.
yeah. Stephenson took 8 3s in 24 minutes, hit 2 and had (co) team high of 4 turnovers. JaVale only got 11 minutes and supposedly all 3 were pissed they didn’t play more.
Plus you gotta believe no one got added in first place without LB’s blessing. Chron also reports long convo post game btw Walton and Kerr and assistants Mike Brown and Fraser, and Walton left the gym with GS assistant R Adams. Maybe this stuff bothers LA guys too.
Fun Rams fact: To my knowledge, Rams are one of two teams, any sport, to win three championships while playing in three different home cities
My guess would be Braves, but I didn’t look up if they ever won in Boston…
You got it, won WS in 1914.
Super Bowl. Atlanta. Hey, any Ray Lewis sightings yet?
Yeah Lewis will take a stab🔪at showing up I assume..
You’re killing me…
got it in SF, too
Big Daddy vs. Jared’s daddy!
just from looking at this and not checking Jared’s height and weight, his dad looks bigger than him.
might be Kevin Bass out of East Menlo in RF, 1990 was J Goff’s first ML season. Big Daddy was 41 then.
I was in Atlanta once, for a few days.
Summertime, hotterNhell, and dripping humidity. Brutal.
Endless traffic like LA, without the upside of LA lifestyle (whatever that is, but it’s better than Atlanta).
Not even close to an ocean.
You couldn’t pay me enough to live in Atlanta…
Yeah Atlanta is a cesspool of humidity and no night life!! Atleast in LA can escape to the ocean 🌊 during their usual smog in summers, not like Atlanta…
no night life? Some of the best strip clubs in the world are in Hotlanta.
I was in the Buckhead area in N Atlanta one night.
That’s supposedly one of the more upscale, happenin’ areas.
Lotsa bars and decent restaurants.
In the middle of a high-rise office area like Century City in LA or Galleria in Houston.
Eh, ok — but, they’re still in Atlanta…
As I said the first time in Atlanta in August 1993…the LA of the South. We had hot wings in a black part of town and no indoor seating and was not only the hottest wings in my life but combine that with a humid as hell August night and I was pouring sweat…
wow Cal men’s b-ball up 1 at half. They haven’t won a conference game in a year.
Cal seems unable to manage, at the same time, the two main men’s athletic programs into an upswing mode. Cuonzo just up and bolted for Mizzu, and $3 million a year. That left Cal hanging. Coaches can do that, athletes can’t, they have to sit out a year.
Basically, Cal basketball is nowhere for the foreseeable future.
I doubt kids with any kind of near-pro talent have Cal on the radar under this current coaching regime…
well opportunity is there. I think Cal’s problem is more on Cuonzo that Jones. he has some decent guys just very young.
What’s weird to me is the women’s team. They have the Anigwe gal who can get 20/20 and is one of best posts in entire country. Yet the coach in 3 years can’t find perimeter shooters and ball handlers to put around her. And nobody says anything. They beat Stanford at home by a point and lost to them on road by 25; they’ve 5-5 in league. The Ionescu kid from oregon who is league MVP played HS ball at Miramonte in Orinda, Cal’s backyard. Meanwhile Stanford has best senior in country from Mitty of San Jose coming in plus kid from top rated Pinewood.
As for women’s team, I’ve got no clue other than Gottlieb has done pretty well overall since she’s been there. I’ve seen two women’s games at Haas over the last decade, both v. Stanfoo. 1-1.
Good games, I enjoyed seeing them.
But though I’ve got daughters, they don’t do traditional “sports”, so I pay basically little attention to women’s sports…
lol, bummer for the producer but this was dumb.
Fuck the Super Bowl.
Fuck the Patriots.
Fuck Dee Ford.
Fuck Andy Reid.
That about covers it Loo!!
Dee Ford said I gotta be better then this.
No shit dipshit, lining up off sides only cost you the SB! How the fuck can you not just line up behind the football dumbshit totally inexcusable..
I love you, man.
If your last point on Hotlanta rings true then the Rams will be the ones in trouble being their first bowl and I bet a lot of their defensive players probably like to enjoy the good life (read Atlanta strip joints)…Pats knowing this could be a historic win or loss will be focused. I would have probably bet on the Pats but go Rams…
By chance, anybody here use a Roku wifi device on their TV ?…
I do Snarkk for Netflix,Hulu and other stuff.
Do you like it?
I’ve got an old TV, from what I read, it will work with old TVs an AV cable…
All you bettors out there –
What’s to stop Gladys Knight from being in cahoots with a bunch of people on the prop bet on her over/under time to sing the Anthem? She tips them on how long it will take (rehearsals, she knows), and they or people working for them put bets down on the right side of the bet? Or, dudes working with her in rehearsals know? Seems EZ money to me…
There is no fuckin’ doubt about that, Snarkk.
It’s like insider trading…
That goes over every year.
Have they paroled Wayne Williams yet?
MLK’s son is on record that he believes James Earl Ray is innocent of killing his father.
Like many others, he blames “Raul”…
That clothesline camera was an XFL innovation…
Chiefs would be up 21-3 by now…
What’d you think of Lovely Rita on Kimmel the other night?
Yes I would…
Yep.
One thing Joe Cool Montana never did was throw a pick in a SB game!
Tru dat. But, by end today, he played in 5 fewer than Brady… 😉
Joe never lost.
I’ve never bet on those dumb prop bets but I’m assuming books cap what they’ll accept on a bet like the song length. You can’t o in there and drop 500k on that shit.
So, I guess just get the Pips to put down a ton of small bets to the max allowed at various sports books….
Rams offense sucks, you have to wonder if Gurley is healthy I say no way.
Rams don’t look ready for prime time.
I’ll give them credit though they do seem to have Brady rattled,
That 4rh down play was quite surprising…they dont expect their kicker to hit a 50 yarder? Course Rams offense maybe hit the strip joints hard this week???
He already missed one Freon inside where they were.
So they think he sucks??? Why have him?
I think I’ll go wash my hair.
It’s been a month…
Wade Philips doing a great job even though they can’t cover Edelman.
Halftime:
Maroon 5
Patriots 3
Rams 0
lol
who thought boring ass Maroon 5 would be an exciting halftime show? This is terrible.
under was an easy call, I think I saw something from Franny that this game would go over.
yup. Going opposite of this guy is like free money
oh man this guy really is funny.
Fast Times at Ridgemont High is on IFC…
Spicoli baby!!
Local kid Edelman is easily the MVP if this game stays like this..
Rams can’t figure out how to defend against him.
The guy that covered the punt is Jackie Slater’s kid? Big dude O tackle for Rams, from…Jackson State! home of Purvis Short (among others).
True story I have Jackson St. hat on right now
Man Goff almost took a safety. when it comes to QBs getting smashed, it’s Goff today.
This game is like watching Cory Gearrin pitch from the stretch…
POTD!
I’ve been listening to this on my walkman out in the back doing yardwork in between raindrops.
Is it as bad on TV as it sounds on radio ?…
Yes. One of the punters could wind up MVP.
Criminy. This could be one of the worst SBs ever, even if it comes down to the last minute…
WTF kind of idiotic commercial was that from Burger King???
Andy Warhol? Why not?Better than any of the other crap served up tonight.
Phantom holding call ruined the Rams drive.
Rams should’ve run play-action deep-post, over and over and over. I think they ran it once.
Whose fans are suffering more?
Chiefs or Saints?
Probably both. That would’ve been the best game….
Sony Michel is a stud RB..
The rams ran on 1st down on their first 9 drives. They punted in their first 9 drives. Their play calling has not been very imaginative.
Okay, I’ll finally admit it . . . Tom is the best among the Brady Bunch.
Pats running game gonna end this.
The Rams are pretty underwhelming today.
When did Kershaw become the Rams QB?
More sad trombone for the city of L.A.
Does this mean Rooster wont be back from dinner?
He gone.
Yeah it’s nice to see both the Rams&Dodgers choke!!
70 yrd drive. Rams couldn’t stop them.
Pats win, but did Brady do much to win this one?
I dunno, I just heard it on radio.
Seems like it was pretty much a defensive duel, neither offense did shit…
nah he didn’t Snarkk. Just one drive…which unfortunately was enough.
And on that note…what an embarrassing way to end it.
Chiefs/Saints, sadly the best Super Bowl game to have never been played….
I agree with dat.
Ok, enough pole smoking of Brady.
On to Spring Training !!!! …
at least the game was terrible.
Francesa: Rams & over? lozzozzles!
Now, about the Giants starting rotation…..
Bumgarner and the 4 fives.
I’m telling you, I like it. I think goal of Z was to make rotation in mold of LA, with multiple guys capable of making a decent start and using 10 day DL to shuttle guys/on off. He said he wanted to limit the innings of D Rod and Suarez, good idea for young arms who haven’t thrown a lot of innings in their careers yet.
Maybe the S Anderson kid has a shot too.
On the plus side, the Rams lost.
Look at it this way–Dodgers lost almost 100 bombs off last year from RH bats no longer with them. Yes they added Pollock but he has had significant health issues. Likelihood Muncy hits 35 bombs again slim and none.
AZ no longer has Golds at 1b, or Pollock.
Pads are very young team that haven’t yet added any bats, Rox neither.
Division will be weaker offensively and young Giants pitchers DRod Suarez Moronta will have year of experience behind them.
definitely can’t argue with this take other than Seager will be back. But the division is definitely weaker. What we will do because of that isn’t something I’m too optimistic about. But, it’s definitely weaker.
Maybe the Giants should invite him to Spring Training…

I’m definitely hoping now for a Dubs/Celts NBA finals, with a monumental beat down administered by the Dubs…
Maybe they’ll still add a front line starting pitcher, and maybe not and the current crew will be *serviceable*… meaning, mediocre. Problem with mediocre is, need a good offense to compensate, and the Giants have done nothing to improve offensive output. Hence, my lack of optimism for the starting rotation comes back around to even less optimism about the offense.
blech, their lame fans are gonna piss and shit all over the stadium.
Baer will do anything to make a buck.
Preseason games will tear the crap out of the turf with a month+ to go in the Giants season.
What good is one season of Raiders at ATT/ Oracle?
Screw the Raiders…
Do the Raiders have an outfielder?
Yeah, probably covered in stickum…
I like one Patriot
Francesa will no doubt say stuff like nobody saw this coming, nobody had it right, bluh, bluh, bluh…
The Dodgers will likely run away with the division this season, unless the Rockies challenge them again.
Maybe the Giants can stay somewhat in the Wild Card conversation. But more likely, Zaidi, after several months of getting a solid evaluation of the Giants’ situation, will start jettisoning some older players as the team approaches the deadline.
He will be committed to making the team younger and more athletic, and more versatile.
The goal will be to turn the Giants into a yearly contender, like the Dodgers and Cardinals. Even in the 3-in-5 stretch, the Giants weren’t yearly contenders. Zaidi is thinking big, it will just take a few years to happen.
The Giants trading Lucius Fox to get Longoria probably flabbergasts Zaidi.
I thought he was part of the trade for Matt Moore.
Here’s a brutal fact:
The Giants had a record of 1-18 on the road vs. the Phils, Reds, Brewers, and Rockies.
