Super Bowl!

[bigredfish]

No I won’t be watching a bunch of overpaid felons in a predetermined made for prime time fantasy show, I’ll be asleep (*or passed out) after watching the much better Puppy Bowl preceding the “big game”.
Hey I got money on Team Ruff!

Get Ready for Puppy Bowl XX on Animal Planet!

Puppy Bowl XX premieres Sunday, February 11 at 2P ET/11A PT with more adoptable puppies from shelters and rescues than ever before.

Yeah, we in no way support the National Felon League. Get sick of hearing about it, and Taylor No Talent Swift. Ugh.

Gosh, weren't the '80s great. All the players then partied, snorted cocaine
and said "Hi Mom" when they came out with no wardrobe failures!

70’s Steelers fan here, still waiting for them to get back together

 

[garycrist]

In the late 70's and early 80's I worked on a lot of the Rams' cars.
What a toot errr hoot!

 

[Old Timer]

A big ex NASCAR fan here, but that was back in the days of real men racing, none of this chase for the race garbage.

Bill Elliot was the last true racer, since then I have pretty well gave up on it. Maybe Joey Lagono?

I have never paid much attention to football.

Oh man, huge Petty fan here, the days of him, Baker, Alison, Yarborough….

Oh, yes.
Backer, Alison, Yarborough, all ex moonshiner families.
Petty got a little conceted after a while but a heck of a racor.

They took a knee and that was it for me.

 

[bigredfish]

Current NASCAR? Yeah, haven't watched in i dunno, 15-20 years

 

[TonyR]

Oh, yes.
Backer, Alison, Yarborough, all ex moonshiner families.

And let's not leave out Junior Johnson !

Bill Elliot was the last true racer,

Yep, in his #9 Ford Thunderbird, Bill Elliott, from Dawsonville, GA set 2 speed records:
Excerpt:

Elliott holds the track record for fastest qualifying speed at Talladega at 212.809 miles per hour (342.483 km/h) and Daytona International Speedway at 210.364 miles per hour (338.548 km/h), both of which were set in 1987; the mark at Talladega is the fastest qualifying speed for any NASCAR race ever. With the usage of restrictor plates at Daytona and Talladega since 1988, it is highly unlikely that these two qualifying speed records will ever be topped.​

Not that I give a shit about grown men playing children’s games, but, if the KC teams win, it gives most of my clients more money to spend on fun stuff like, new cameras, TVs and speakers!

Somewhere around here I probably still have my T shirt with Bill Elliot and his 212.8 MPH
Picked it up at Daytona the next year.

I really need to clean up some day.

In Florida when I was younger my first nascar race, I remember every 30 seconds everyone standing up and yelling “go Bill!” Watched Neil Bonnett die there.

Awesom Bill from Dawsonville had a huge following!

I had forgot about Neil Bonett, sad times. One of the big reasons they went to restrictor plates.

KC has replaced the Patriots in the script and will win 80% over the next 10 years, They will win this year, it's scripted. Look at some of the calls the ref's do.
