Best part of the SuperBowl most years is that Spring Training is just a week away.

I dont think anyone really cares for baseball anymore. and even less now that the Dodgers have already got it locked up and i think everyone is just waiting for a lockout next season.

I still like baseball although less so recent years. Best thing is footy (NFL) and footy (AFL) all year round ..although also a big football (soccer) fan

 

[Dirty Bird]

Have all the long lost Pats fans blown in yet? Probably wait until the day of the game.

They're still 1-2 years away. Need to see whether it's a better option to switch back from KC

If you include practice matches and the state of origin i think this is the only weekend this year without any NFL, AFL or College football games.

In the graphic Seattle and New England are the 2 teams closest to the stadium.

so people are saying it leaked the script for the season.

What do you think?

 

[aussiedude]

What do you think?

just a coincidence. Seattle isnt a big enough market for the league to rig games. and teams like the Jets/Giants, Cowboys and Falcons would be better teams if they did rig based on fans/TV markets.

Seattle should win comfortably

They don't know the Pats are in the Superbowl yet, give them a day or two.

I tagged a bunch of them that used to post here last season wondering where they were, a few responded

I jumped onto the Pats thread from circa 2015 to see who was posting there then and remembered a few of them who had disappeared

It’s a shame there’s no Pats fans left here to ask

Helps when it is much quicker easier to turn the roster over.

The best thing about the NFL is that teams can cut a player irrespective of their contract status at a moments notice. Sure there are salary cap implications but it allows them to bring in new talent immediately.

Can you imagine if AFL had that ability? There would be so many plodders who are stuck in the vfl on 2-3 year contracts that would be cut instantly.

Being a dodger fan is great, and before people get on me for being a dodger fan, I have been a cardinals fan for a very long time,so cut me some slack .

Also this year the t20 world cup will be starting in the first week of Feb.

So superbowl --------> t20 world cup/state of origin------>AFL pre season games/spring training------> AFL games/world baseball classic.

Forgot the F1 testing also starts around the time of state of origin for people interested in motor sports.

Maybe for the regular season, but the World Series last year was great

And the TV ratings (for what they are worth) average viewership was higher for the WS than the NBA Finals

(Obviously both sports pale into comparison against NFL and college football in terms of popularity and TV viewership)

What were the odds on both preseason to win the SB

What were the odds on both preseason to win the SB

The Patriots and Seahawks had significant long-shot preseason odds to make the Super Bowl, around +8000 for the Patriots and +6000 for the Seahawks.

The combined odds of these two teams meeting in the Super Bowl were as long as +100,000.

This matchup is considered one of the most improbable Super Bowls in history based on preseason odds. It is the first time two teams with preseason odds longer than +5000 have faced each other in the championship game.

That's ****ing mad. I haven't been following the last couple seasons but still seeing scores I was surprised. Looks like I missed a good season then.
