I think that was the first Super Bowl I didn't watch. However, seeing the highlights of Swift and Trump getting booed was nice. Looking at the stat lines, the Chiefs were truly terrible and I guess that's how they are when they're not constantly bailed out in crucial moments of the game.
I hate that Philly won. I hate that team, I hate their stupid tush push, I hate so many of their trash fans, I hate Nick Sirianni, and I hate that CJ Gardner-Johnson got a ring. But I'm glad Saquon and Slay won.

I think the fact that KC won 12 games this by 7 or less covered over a lot of their issues. Their receivers were not good, Travis Kelce started to decline, running game fell off when Pacheco got hurt. But none of that mattered because they had a great defense and Mahomes. They knew if the game was close at the end Mahomes would get them the win. But Philly came out and punched them in the mouth and didn't let up. Philly took away the quick short passes and all of the downfield stuff as well. Since Mahomes couldn't get rid of the ball quickly they didn't have to blitz. On the times Mahomes was able to get rid of the ball quickly his receivers Like Kelce & Hopkins dropped passes that could have changed the course of the game maybe. It was like they took the TB gameplan from 2017 and repeated it to the tee. Mahomes like shook and didn't trust his line or his receivers. To me I feel like the Chiefs were not expecting the intensity that brought in the game. I don't want to say that they overlooked the Eagles but they didn't play like they were 2 time champs.

I managed to not spoil the result for myself and watched the game 'as live' (albeit spinning through the ads and halftime show) on DAZN.
Not a classic, but a thoroughly convincing win for the Eagles and a crushing response to their defeat to the Chiefs back in 2023.
Next year will mark 40 years since I first watched a Super Bowl... I can hardly believe that stat. A school friend of mine moved to Boston and started sending me Patriots stuff through the mail ca. 1985, and that happened to be the year the Patriots made it to their first Super Bowl, only to be crushed by the Chicago Bears and 'The Fridge'. Since then, I've maybe watched about half of the Super Bowls, and it has become something of a tradition to have a 'slow work day' that may or may not involve staying at home and watching the game on catch-up, as was the case today.
One issue I had this year was watching it on DAZN - it had the full US live broadcast, and the sheer number (and length!) of the ads is just crazy - I'm really glad I could spin through those, even though I nearly spoiled the result for myself a couple of times because the DAZN app is horrible. Still, it was interesting to see it as it was broadcast in the US for once.

It's very sad that @JohnBM01 is no longer with us to continue this thread series, but hopefully it will continue on in his memory.

We're planning to:
Dividing Up John's Work In The Sports Section
Hi all, I had an idea yesterday where I thought all the sports threads that JohnBM01 created, should continue on as it could include a lot of GTP members. I personally don't have the time or passion for broadcasting like John did. So I thought perhaps other sport enthusiasts could help fill...
