Run It Back - Super Bowl Ell Vee game thread

Well, here we go...A couple of pregame notes:

On last night's Saturday Night Life, cast member / KC native Heidi Gardner was rocking a Mahomes jersey during a sketch about Super Bowl parties.

Up in Canada, CBC-TV's national newscast Friday had a long feature interview with lineman Laurence Duvernay-Tardif from Montreal. Of course, he took this year off to serve in a long-term care home.

And as long as we're talking about doing good works, props to Russell Wilson for winning this year's Walter Payton Man Of The Year Award !

Worst state for Covid!

Speaking of dinner, I'm curious about what's in everybody's Super Bowl spread.

Here it's duck wings, nachos, and the usual munchies.

Feb 07, 2021 11:19 PM #7

Wow!

At the risk of being called a dirty Commie, I always thought that America The Beautiful makes a better national anthem. Easier to sing, too.

I love the poet Amanda Gorman

Me too, but I can't wait until the Internet parodies start popping up.

Feb 07, 2021 11:35 PM #12

Three and out to start the game !

Feb 07, 2021 11:45 PM #13

I just want Tom Brady to lose. Make it happen, AFC West bros

Feb 07, 2021 11:46 PM #14

Another 3 and out

Feb 07, 2021 11:51 PM #15

Love the gal ref💃

Feb 07, 2021 11:55 PM #16

First on the board !

Feb 07, 2021 11:56 PM #17

Hit Hill in the face lol. That was a dime from Mahomes.

Feb 07, 2021 11:58 PM #18

To many 🤲🏼

Feb 08, 2021 12:05 AM #19

Not him again

Feb 08, 2021 12:26 AM #20

HELLUVA GOAL LINE STOP !

Feb 08, 2021 12:38 AM #21

You guys are getting kind of screwed by penalties so far.

Feb 08, 2021 12:43 AM #22

We are holding

Feb 08, 2021 12:44 AM #23

So are they.

Feb 08, 2021 12:51 AM #24

Better

Feb 08, 2021 01:01 AM #25

Yeah Russ

Feb 08, 2021 01:04 AM #26

Chiefs killing themselves with the penalties

Feb 08, 2021 01:10 AM #27

Falling apart

Feb 08, 2021 01:12 AM #28

Should never be in their home field

Feb 08, 2021 01:13 AM #29

At least the Chiefs get the second half kickoff. Came from behind last year...it CAN be done. Need to show a lot more poise though, especially on defense.

Feb 08, 2021 01:14 AM #30

Tom Brady, Duke basketball and Yankees baseball can all cohabitate a section of hell with the refs, officials and umpires that enabled them, imo.

Feb 08, 2021 01:16 AM #31

@approxinfinity Good thing one or two of them won't make the postseason this year

Feb 08, 2021 01:24 AM #32

So what's everybody's pick for best SB halftime show?

Feb 08, 2021 01:30 AM #33

@nwhawkfan Janet Jackson's wardrobe? Or Tom Petty or Gloria Estefan.

Feb 08, 2021 01:32 AM #34

Andy and Patrick need to get their heads in the game. Not out of this, but that first half was horrific.

Up With People, and Al Hirt ! (kidding)

They all tend to blur together after a while, but Prince's show knocked me out. Springsteen was pretty good too. More recently, Bruno Mars.

Feb 08, 2021 01:54 AM #36

Wolp. Let's go offense.

Feb 08, 2021 01:54 AM #37

Trading field goals for touchdowns. Not a recipe for success

Feb 08, 2021 01:55 AM #38

I thought Gaga was good

Feb 08, 2021 01:56 AM #39

I'm sad about this game, thought it would pick me up from the sad state of Jayhawks

Feb 08, 2021 01:59 AM #40

That makeshift O line just can't stop these guys

Feb 08, 2021 02:00 AM #41

To think Brady got all that small business loan bucks, millions, and bought a yacht.

Feb 08, 2021 02:02 AM #42

Glad that I stayed at home to watch the game, instead of shelling out 25-30 bucks cover charge to get into a bar today. Only 25 percent capacity allowed here, so the taverns/restaurants are charging whatever they can get away with.

Wouldn't want to be an advertiser who has a 4th quarter commercial this year

Feb 08, 2021 02:36 AM #45

Hmm...didn't know Springsteen played Lebanon, Kansas

Aka the hometown of one FarmerJayhawk! Everyone go visit. Then head to town and have the noon special at Ladow’s Cafe. More food than you can eat for $3.99. Lori’s cobbler is TO DIE FOR

Feb 08, 2021 03:01 AM #47

Been to the monument once and took some pictures, but it was real late at night on my way to Denver. I'll have to spend a little more time there on my next trip back to KS.

Feb 08, 2021 03:06 AM #48

Tough finish to a great season.

Thanks everybody for hanging in there. See you on the other threads.

Feb 08, 2021 03:43 AM #49

Got to the big dance. Enjoyed the Kansas/Springsteen commercial and that was about it (kind of corny, but any time KS gets a shout-out, I'm good with it).

Pretty awful game. It hurts (F Brady), but I'm sure the KC players feel worse than we do. I sacrificed a few hours of my time, made a bunch of food for the game, enjoyed the season, felt confident, but it's not like I trained or put my ass on the line every day (although, I probably could've done a better job at left guard even after eating my nachos, meatballs, pigs in a blanket, guacamole, cheese dip, rye bread party pizzas, veggies and dip, and at least six pack of local Freestate beer).

I didn't have a snack plan for the second half. Wasn't expecting to get knocked on my heels and lose my appetite, so maybe I should have done more... I'll try harder next season!

Feb 08, 2021 04:16 AM #50

@FarmerJayhawk lol snowy!

Feb 08, 2021 04:19 AM #51

@Crimsonorblue22 very! Got 5 more inches this weekend! It’s good. We really needed the moisture for the wheat.

Feb 08, 2021 04:21 AM #52

@DanR if u ate all that u might be able to help us on the O line! Mahomes was running for his life! Damn flags! To many injuries. 🤮 suck they had a home advantage.

Feb 08, 2021 02:56 PM #53

@Crimsonorblue22 The stats guys say that Mahomes ran 497 yards in the game last night on his scrambles and sacks. And much of that was going backward or sideways. On a toe needing surgery.

Time to trade for disgruntled Brown from Ravens (wants to move to left side) and draft well. Can't have Pat literally running for his life again.

Anyway, wife and I are trying to find the bright side from last night. So far, 2 have been identified: no need to waste recording space on the DVR or time rewatching the game, and all the money saved on t-shirts, hats, cups, and posters.....

If BB was more fun this year it would be easier to find an outlet for sports fandom!

Feb 08, 2021 03:45 PM #54

If you don't have a healthy Mahomes (and a couple people protecting him, it's gonna be an "L") The defense is not good. And on top of not being good, had their heads up their butts most of the night. We can never rely on our defense to win games.

Feb 08, 2021 05:14 PM #55

@nuleafjhawk they got 2 three and outs to start the game. When Mahomes and Co couldn't put points on the board I think it was a kick in the teeth.
