Did Goodell only fix the AFC games to sure the Chiefs made it to the Championship game? Or did he also ensure the Eagles represented the NFC, instead of an arguably better story like the Lions or Commanders going to the SB?

Question

Me I'm still trying to figure out why so many people are talking about this Taylor Swift person. Is she a big new star in the Lingerie Football League?



Is she the Caitlin Clark of women's football or something?

So I see/hear that Taylor Swift was roundly booed at the Superdome this evening. Maybe ticket buyers actually listened to some of her recordings prior to the game....

What the hell? That's also the way it's defined under the law. Why are you ignoring this key detail? To me that's an all-important detail since it's there for my protection.

So bloody what? Unbelievable how you still insist on missing the point. I don't CARE if whoever/whatever did something and is not convicted. That's the price I'm willing to pay to continue living in a free society where we can't be cavalierly prosecuted and jailed by the State.

You say that you're a lawyer yet you've not heard of Blackstone's Formulation? I don't agree with Blackstone's ratio though. Rather than 10:1 it should be 100,000:1.

Yeah, well I have real problems with those civil juries. Is that how you earn your living or something? Is that why you're so intent on eroding the protections we all enjoy under our system of jurisprudence? Are you simply a Deep State fascist?

Just an accident of geography then. If you don't unequivocally embrace the principle that a man IS innocent until and unless proven guilty in an objective court of law, you should be disbarred (if you're indeed a lawyer) wherever you practice.

Well, I hereby eat my words. Perhaps the NFL isn't rigged after all.

A 30 point lead makes it harder for the refs to decide the outcome

That was perhaps the biggest beat down I've ever seen in the Super Bowl.

This is not a "chat line". This is a discussion forum. Therefore whatever words you peck onto this board are here indefinitely.

SB is clean.

I love it when I'm right....which is not always the case, but it was here.

So to wrap up Chiefs got help from the Refs/Goodell to get to the Super Bowl, and the game itself was clean.

Any geniuses saying this had to do with gambling or the NFL wanting the Chiefs to win another SB were just missing it.
