Fuck yeah, Jaylen Watson has earned himself a day or two like that. He was working at a Wendy's in Augusta four years ago.

That's crazy, the kid goes from handing a dude a frosty, to a 95 yard game winning pick 6 vs. the chargers to being wheel-chaired out in a super bowl parade.

This is why the Chiefs are not the good guys their fans claim they are. They are the villains of the NFL because their players and fans are by and large dickheads. But unlike guys like me, who recognize when my team is the bad guy, Chiefs fans are literally oblivious to it.

I'll wait until Cleveland or Cincinnati does something like this. The fans up your way seem to be more into smack talk and blaming refs.

Right? Unbelievable story. Started out at community college, committed to USC, couldn't go because he didn't qualify academically, came back home to Augusta to work at Wendy's while he got his coursework in order, went to Wazzu, got drafted in the seventh round and here we are. Just awesome.

I won't go to NFL games. I've heard so many horror stories of people having their wives/girlfriends, children, etc harassed and I'm not trying to go to jail. I'll just watch the game at home.

I’m my experience, and I go to 2-4 games a year and have been to road games, it’s really not that bad. I sit in the upper deck of the Linc. Like yea, a couple of times my section had a dickhead who chirped way too much, but I’ve seen Eagles fans stick up for the road team fan because they were that big an asshole (and not creative or funny)

Like, if you’re a road fan you need to have thick skin because people will chip and talk shit, it’s the nature of the beast and I expect it when I’ve gone to games in New Yo…Jersey…but only maybe a couple time times have I been around a person that really just needed to get punched in the face for either getting too personal with someone, or just being an out and out dickhead.


Would I bring a child, probably not…unless I’m in the good seats.

Good seats I might do. Ohio State fans are notoriously bad and you avoid most of the trash when you sit in the lower bowl, which is what I do probably 80-90% of the time I go now.

Either way, it's just a shame that some people don't know how to act. A few years back, I went to a WVU-Texas game in Morgantown and ended up sitting next to two Texas fans that were proud veterans. You know the type. Me and the friend I was with talked shit back and forth with these dudes the ENTIRE GAME and everybody had a great time. When that happens, I ask myself why I ever spend my Saturdays in the fall any other way. When drunk people are fighting outside of the bathroom before halftime? I wonder why I bother.

I went to KU vs. Texas last Monday. Some Texas fans were 4 rows in front of me, no one was bothering them. Then this Texas lady start screaming and making a load whistling yodeling sound every time we shot a free throw. She literally sounded like a human bull horn.

We were also the section next to the student section, and once they caught wind of what she was doing they laid into her and she eventually stopped.

It was fun to watch

Uh oh, heads should roll.....

George Toma, the longtime groundskeeper who prepared and then advised the preparation of every Super Bowl field, believes the issues that plagued the field at Super Bowl LVII at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, could have been avoided.

The 94-year-old told ESPN that he believes the field was overwatered in the days leading up to the game. According to Toma, who has been nicknamed The Sodfather, the field was watered the Wednesday morning before the game and rolled into the stadium on the moveable tray that housed the grass field for the last time before kickoff four days later.

Toma contended that the field should've been watered in the morning and kept outside to dry before being rolled in.

"So, what he does," Toma said, referring to Ed Mangan, the NFL field director who was in charge of the Super Bowl field and worked under Toma for years, "he waters the hell out of it and puts it right into the stadium and that's it. Never sees sunlight again. He can't do that."

A tarp was laid over the field to protect it from the rehearsals for the pregame, halftime and postgame shows, Toma said, and that led to the field emitting an odor. Toma said he was told during the week that the field was starting to decay and rot.

"It had a rotten smell," he said.

Toma also alleged that Mangan did not sand the field enough.

"He sanded it two weeks too late," Toma said. "He had only one sanding. He should have had two or three sandings, but he didn't do s---. And that was it. And not only that, he didn't take care of it. He wouldn't listen to anybody."

Toma said he's not blaming rye grass for the field's slickness, adding that he used rye grass for 27 Super Bowls.

In a statement the day after the Super Bowl, the NFL said: "The State Farm Stadium field surface met the required standards for the maintenance of natural surfaces, as per NFL policy. The natural grass surface was tested throughout Super Bowl week and was in compliance with all mandatory NFL practices."

Super Bowl LVII was Toma's last. He retired after more than 80 years in the groundskeeping business. "I can't take it anymore," said Toma, who said he hasn't been pleased with how the NFL responded to field issues at Super Bowl sites in the past.

"Me and the league are finished," Toma said. "They can't tell me what to do anymore. We're done."

Yea, we need someone’s head on a spike at the Linc in lieu of an NFC Championship banner.

LMAO at getting one of the best NFL matchups in the Superbowl in awhile and have them play on an ice rink.

I think it should be permanently removed from grass.
