  1. The Chiefs have revealed they will wear red jerseys for the Super Bowl:

     

     

    https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/chiefs-unveil-uniform-choice-for-2024-super-bowl-heres-why-the-49ers-might-be-thrilled-with-the-pick/

     

    "Chiefs unveil uniform choice for 2024 Super Bowl: Here's why the 49ers might be thrilled with the pick"

     

    "The Chiefs will almost certainly be wearing their white pants, and if that happens, you might have deja vu. If they go with that uniform combination, there's a good chance that both teams will be wearing the same exact combo that they wore back in Super Bowl LIV, a game where Kansas City beat San Francisco 31-20. 

     

    "This will mark Kansas City's sixth trip to the NFL's biggest game and the fourth time they'll be wearing their red jersey. Here's how they've fared in each jersey color in the big game: 

     

    Chiefs in red: 2-1 (Wins over Vikings in Super Bowl IV and 49ers in Super Bowl LIV; loss to Bucs in Super Bowl LV)
    Chiefs in white: 1-1 (Win over Eagles last year, loss to Packers in the first Super Bowl)"

     

    In last year's Super Bowl, the Chiefs beat the Eagles 38-35 while wearing white, which is notable, because the team wearing white has been on a HOT STREAK in the Super Bowl. Over the past 19 years, the team wearing white has gone 16-3, which is why the 49ers might be thrilled that they get to wear their road jersey. That being said, one of those three losses came in Super Bowl LIV when the 49ers were defeated by the Chiefs. 

     

    This will be the 49ers eighth time in the NFL's biggest game and they have a winning record whether they wear their red jersey or white jersey. 

     

    49ers in red: 3-1
    49ers in white: 2-1 (Only loss came to Chiefs)

    Within the last few days, it has been announced 'TB12' and 'Brady', two of Tom Brady's companies will merge with Nobull athletic footwear.  Must be deflating for the other shoe companies. 🤔🤨😇

    https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2024/01/30/tom-brady-nutrition-apparel-brands-merging-with-nobull.html

     

    Speaking of NoBull, good brand and I see lots of people wearing NoBull in the gym, but I am not a fan. I prefer lift-specific shoes (flat for deadlift and heeled for squats). Nike and Reebok and Sabo are really good brands for those.

  3. All the other cities' teams have multiple rings:

     

    Detroit Red Wings - check

    Detroit Tigers - check

    Detroit Pistons - check

     

    Cleveland Cavaliers - check

    Cleveland Guardians - check

     

    Only the football teams don't (well...Cleveland did win it all twice...as the "new" franchise Baltimore), as well as the Sabres. Has to be a football and/or Buffalo thing.

    First Detroit and Cleveland have won undisputed major national championships. Buffalo hasn’t so I wouldn’t put Detroit and Cleveland in the same category as Buffalo. Cleveland Cavaliers won with LeBron James. Buffalo is in a category by itself. The Bills losing to Kansas City Chiefs in 1966 for the right to go to the first Super Bowl. Bob Lanier hurting his knee tripping over Villainova’s Chris Ford in 1970 when the Bonnies went to the NCAA Basketball Tournament Final Four. The Sabres losing in the Stanley Cup finals in 1975 and 1999. The Bills Joe Ferguson hurting his ankle costing the 1980 Bills team against the San Diego Chargers. The 1990’s Bills four Super Bowl losses, 13 seconds and now Wide Right we are in a catagory by ourselves. I don’t believe in curses Buffalo just didn’t get it done maybe next season in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo 

     

    Don't forget the Music City Mircale.

    Where is Goff?

     

    I will take him over Hurts Dak and Lawrence every day of the week.  Herbert has done nothing.  He is a baby B word who just loses.  And Josh blows Lamar away.  Stop watching ESPN.  

     

    Where is Jameis Winston?  Guy is a gamer.  The black Fitzie.  

     

    Winston? Seriously? How many games did he start this year?

    i dont really get Brady wanting to do this.  i see the money,  that i get,  but beyond that,  doesnt seem right for him.   care less if Greg goes or stays,  he wasnt terrible imo,  but the whole thing just looks weird to me.

     

    He's an alpha male and he is probably bored. Why not stay relevant and keep your time occupied?

    I don't get why they don't put Brady on a lower team and allow him to grow into the role, rather than throw him into the A Team straight away.

     

    Well, he is the goat and he needs to be given a spot worthy of his huge contract.  You know, name recognition and all. Like Taylor Swift. He will generate millions for FOX. He has earned. If he is on some lower team, people would complain en masse.

    Just mind boggling that these companies have so much money to unnecessarily blow.

     

    Absolutely no one tunes in to an NFL game solely because of who is calling the game. People tune in because: it's their team, they're friends & family of a player/coach, it's a good matchup between good teams, or it's the playoffs/SB.

     

    I just don't understand. Anybody have an explanation? Will people who would otherwise not watch a crappy game between two crappy teams tune in just because Brady is calling it?

     

    Well, the thing is, Brady will not be assigned to a crappy game. He will almost be on the top game of the week. And from the article:

     

    "With the NFL dominating entertainment, networks are now partly defined by their football coverage. No. 1 NFL analysts command the mega-salaries that used to flow to network news anchors like Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather.".

     

    The NFL is an experience, and the networks want to put their best product out with the best game. And Greg Olsen's salary next year will go down to just $3 million for the B-team, hardly top dollar in the grand scheme of things.

     

    Also, the name recognition helps generate brand value. Exhibit A: Taylor Swift:

    Tom Brady is TERRIBLE on his radio show with Jim Grey and L Fitzgerald.  Unless he states something controversial he is boring.

     

    Just because you were a great QB doesn't mean you will be a great football analyst, eg Jim Kelly.

     

    This is a major setback.

     

    When I had SiriusXM, every time he came on, I turned the channel. I just couldn't stand him. Very smarmy.

    I feel a bit for Greg. I think he has got better each year he has been on the job. He was certainly an upgrade on Troy Aikman. But there was just always something about him that didn't seem to carry the gavitas of a big network #1 color guy. 

     

     

    Yeah, Greg always seemed like a nice, but goofball kid who didn't quite fit in the network's lead role.

    I also thought Olson has been good this year. I actually don't hate the idea of hearing Brady in the booth. He obviously has incredible knowledge and it'll be interesting to hear his perspective. I just hope a drunk Bills fan manages to throw a d*ldo at the booth when he's calling one of our games

     

    You know Buffalo fans are going to jump all over him the minute he says something bad about the team.

  11. Greg Olsen of FOX's A-team called his last game yesterday as FOX's lead analyst. He will be demoted next year to the B-team to be paired by Joe Davis most likely. He will take a 70% pay cut from $10 million to just $3 million (I know: first-world problems). Tom Brady has been groomed to take his place. Under his 10-year contract, he will make $375 million ($37.5 million a year), which is more than his lifetime NFL salary of $333 million. He will join the A-team of Kevin Burkhardt, Erin Andrews, and Tom Rinaldi.

    The lead analysts opening for a network is rare, once in a generation. From the article: "Troy Aikman of ESPN and Cris Collinsworth of NBC Sports, for example, have served as No. 1 color commentators for 22 straight seasons. Super Bowl LVIII analyst Tony Romo is wrapping his seventh season at CBS Sports. His predecessor, Phil Simms, held the job for 19 years.".

     

    The sad part is Olsen, by all accounts, has been outstanding at his job:

     

    "Olsen has been a revelation in his three seasons on the air. He’s become a fan favorite on social media—with some calling for Fox to keep him in the top job, Brady or no Brady. 

     

    In his first season as lead analyst, Olsen called the NFL’s most-watched Super Bowl and regular-season game of all time, winning the Emmy Award for “Outstanding Personality—Emerging On-Air Talent.”"

     

     

    The article said Olsen was taking it all in stride and respects the GOAT.

     

    Tom Brady has also been working hard preparing for his new role, asking Troy Aikman, Joe Buck, and New England play-by-play announcer Sott Zolak for help.

    Brady was also potted at a dinner with Erin Andrews in November, preparing for his new gig:
