Super Bowl Tawk

[JollyElm]

Post whatever random feelings you want to express about 'The Big Game' (Don't want the NFL to sue me for improper use of their trademarked intellectual property. Whoops!! Already used it in the thread title!! Screw it, I'm going to leave it and live dangerously!!).

With my Bills out, the mathematical equation for who I want to win can be expressed as the MOCK factor:

Is (M - O) > (C - K)?

M = My great love for Matthew Stafford, after having him on my fantasy team a million times over the years.

O = My complete annoyance at Odell Beckham Jr.'s self-involved diva personality.

C = The enjoyment of seeing Cincinnati finally reach the promised land.

K = My complete annoyance at Kansas City for screwing up in OT against the Bengals, after NOT screwing up in OT against Buffalo.

I’d like to see Cincinnati win but then having to listen to that pencil neck Chris Collinsworth and blow hard Boomer Esiason really takes the shine off of that pick.

It would be nice to see Stafford pick up the win and solidify the horrible franchise that is the Lions.

But I will be rooting for the referees……they never seem to win anything.

In this equation, M, O, and C should all be valued highly, with M-O calcing out to a small number. K should be valued zero, because KCs failure wasn't Cincinnati's fault (one could argue it was to Cincinnati's credit,) and your Bills lost because they let a team that should've been dead move the ball 44 yards in 10 seconds.

I was hoping the Bills would win, too. The Bengals are the next best thing.

I'm guessing the majority of Michigan's lower penninsula and any current or former Lions fans are rooting for Stafford and the Rams....just to shove it in the faces of the Lions ownership that they had a Super Bowl caliber QB all those years, but couldn't get him a quality 'team' for support. Just my opinion!

Just hope it's a great game.

Would love to see Stafford win one.

Rooting for Odell to. He was great for the Giants for a few years in the beginning. They ultimately ruined him by repeatedly sending him out on a super floppy ankle, until he basically got his leg snapped in half. It was all downhill from there. To be clear, Odell's issues were always with management. His team-mates loved him. Justin Pugh and several of his other former Giants co-workers, did a good interview recently about what a great teammate he was. I can't speak for his influence on the Brown's. Going to play for Baker Mayfield, certainly wasn't much better then playing with an aging Eli Manning.

I also have an affinity for dominant Defensive players, so Aaron Donald is a favorite of mine also.

Then you have the Bengals...and there's not a whole lot to dislike about them for me either sooooooo............

Let's just have a great game!

What you've said points to what a rarity this game is. Every year has its two fan bases going bananas cheering their teams on, but then there's that huge part of the country that absolutely abhors one of the squads and wants them to bite the dust. Let's call them Human Anti-Bradys . This year will actually be a game where whoever (whomever?) comes out on top will be fine for almost everyone (except said fan bases). It certainly could make the game less exciting, with all of that fun-filled hate eliminated, but I imagine as the game gets under way, each of us will immediately know who we want to win...and then the traditional screaming at the TV will commence.

I'm hoping Cincinnati wins but I'd have to say, I would LOVE for Stafford, that long-suffering warrior, to be interviewed while holding the trophy.
