NFL = No Fan Laft they shot themselves like BudLight, with political correctness, and being woke. If Dick Butkus was playing today he would be removed from ever game for being too tough a tackler.

Another pretty good prime time game last night. Took McCarthy a bit but he got rolling there in the 2nd half!

Parsons is a monster on Green Bay, and like Reggie White long ago, he makes them a legit contender. What a nice gift from Jerry.

There are good NFL games already this year, but it's still "Go Brewers!" for a while yet.

Only caught the end of the Cowboys vs Giants game but it was a good game from what I saw.

I was shocked the Patriots were able to hold onto the win in Miami today. First time Tua has ever lost to the Patriots too. 😬

Sucks seeing Joe Burrow get injured. I really hope it doesn’t hinder the Bengals season too much.

I think the biggest surprise of this season so far is how good Daniel Jones looks on the Colts. He looks like a completely different quarterback.

So good to hear from you stranger!! That was a fun game to watch, even though we lost. Russ thinking it's 2015 again haha!

It's tough being a Giants fan these days. Even with the excitement of our rookie 1st rd qb getting his first start of the season, and a win!! It's overshadowed by Nabers injury. Dart is going to severely miss him. :disappointed

Those Patriots sure looked like a legit team there last night Nick! Very surprising to watch a Bills game and the home crowd was THAT quiet.

It's nice to have HOPE lol... It's been a long time! Diggs might just be the target the Pats needed to supplement Henry, and Vrabel at the helm feels right.

That they did! I was very impressed. :cheap-sunglasses

They've actually looked good for the past few games, so it's nice to finally see it come together against a legitimate contender in the Bills. It really is good to feel like they can compete with anyone and their games will actually matter again.

They played decent against the Steelers but the turnovers took so many points off the board. They just kept shooting themselves in the foot. It feels like they're cleaning that up to an extent but I can only be so optimistic after two wins removed from that game.

They have a favorable schedule ahead of them too, so if they take advantage of it and win the games they should, they might find themselves in the playoff race come January!

Big win for the Giants last night, Rick! Jaxson Dart looks legit. Always fun to see an underdog take down a heavyweight like that. :cheap-sunglasses

That was refreshing and encouraging to see! The vibe hasn't been like this in many years. The young guys are motivating the vets and they're having fun with them! If only Nabers season wasn't over with, what a fun trio of "kids" we've got on offense.

Love it!!

I am boycotting the Super Bowl. That is purely disgusting. Every year they get worse and worse with the half time shows, knowing kids are going to be watching. This time it is too much!

As a fan of the game itself. I've never really cared or looked much into the commercials or halftime show. I'm a metal head and know any band I follow will NEVER play at the Super Bowl anyways!

What is the controversy with this year’s superbowl halftime show? I am out of the loop.

I had never heard of him before he was announced for this year’s halftime show. Based on his name I thought he was a woman. From what I can tell, much of the controversy is coming from the fact that many NFL fans don’t know who he is and their first impressions are being shaped by some alleged anti-American remarks the performer made in the recent past.

There’s a clear cultural disconnect between NFL fans and the fanbase of this year’s performer, which probably makes the choice feel like a bit of a slap in the face to the league’s longstanding audience. Instead of choosing someone who actually resonates with core NFL fanbase, this feels like yet another attempt by the league to pander to the international audience they’re so eager to win over.

He is Puerto Rican and intends to perform mostly or all in Spanish. He said people should learn Spanish in the next few months to fully enjoy the show. Some people have said they would prefer anyone performing in English.
