Not really OT - Super Bowl

I saw the ad and immediately wondered whether there’s any NIL money in it for the players or (more likely) YouTube just gets a release/pays the network that owns the rights to the game videos?
 
I know it's slightly off topic but the investment in commercials that included female athletes during the Superbowl was impressive. Especially the message behind Nike's. Just let these amazing women play and win.

I think the eyeballs and $$$ from the Swifties for KC games was a revelation. Engaging more women is a potentially huge money maker for the NFL

The stat padding by KC at the end against the 2nd-stringers was annoying and petty on their end. Eagles absolutely dominated them.

Would you prefer to see the Chiefs just stop playing by running the ball into the line 3 times and punting? If they did that, I guarantee you that Andy Reid and Mahomes would have been criticized for waving the white flag.

It’s no different than UConn’s opponents leaving their starters in during 4th qtr mop up time when they’re down 30 pts. Teams want to have some sense of competing when the game ends, whatever the final score.

Our athletic department hosted a woman's day at Burton and Shenkman. (I think you may have actually gone to once, someone on the board did.) I always thought that was a smart way to get better market penetration. I haven't seen it promoted lately. I wonder if it had a good turnout.

It's a two edged sword, I personally think that leaving starters of the losing team in the last quarter just to pad their stats is petty. Why not let your bench players into the game to enjoy the atmosphere, whether it's a UConn game or the Super Bowl?
Of course with the Super Bowl, the legalized gambling components may be a factor...
Swerving back to the OP.

First off, you don’t have backups at every position. My next thought, if you’re a 2nd string Quarterback, do you really want to be thrown into a game down 30 points where the starting QB is running for his life? Just sayin…..

Gotta love the gate keepers coming up with the unwritten rules, teams should do what they choose to do.

Why risk a multi-million dollar franchise player like Mahomes in a game where the team is down 30-some point? How about giving the second string guys a chance to play in the Super Bowl?

Mahomes is a great competitor who probably wanted to fight to the last second and has earned the right to do so.

Yup, he didn't want to be remembered for getting beat in the Super Bowl by 34 points, after his sack and fumble in 4th led to a 40-6 Eagle lead with only 8 minutes left in the game.
BTW I am not a fan of either team, this was the first NFL game that I paid attention to since the last Patriot's Super Bowl win.

Emptying the bench is not really a tradition in NFL and Super Bowls. Sure it happens, but you just don't have the same type of game stoppage, exit star to ovation, in comes bench, that exists in bball.

Fans are further from the action, can't easily tell who is in and out. When they do rest players, it's usually only the winning team.

Losing football coaches are not great at math, they can be heard screaming on the sidelines, "Keep your heads up men, we are only down 28! Just 4 quick scores. Remember the Patriots! We got 'em right where we want 'em...:p

Does anyone else remember Geno and Kia Nurse singing a duet of Fly Eagles Fly several years ago? Looked for a video but couldn’t find one.

No.

Please post it, if you find it.
 
It doesn't matter the Chiefs and Maholmes scoring points in garbage time ..people saw how lousy he played and the complete demolition of the Chiefs during the first 3+ quarters

Wasn't it after the Eagles beat the Patriots in SB LII in 2018?
 
I feel bad for Mahomes. The passing game was obviously not working and at no point did the OC try running the ball. On the few runs they did have they gained good yards so it was something that was available. Watching the Eagles defensive line all game was like watching a defense when they know the offense has to throw. They were paying zero attention to any runners but in the end I was just glad the Eagles won.
 
My brother-in-law, a ride-or-die Eagles fan, whom I've slowly converted into a women's basketball fan, shared this with me. He loves Dawn, and I've informed him that's completely acceptable as long as South Carolina isn't playing UConn. I know Dawn had a tough afternoon yesterday so I'm glad she got to celebrate last night.

Good memory regarding the super bowl in question. Sorry, but I still can’t find a video of the duet. During an extended search I found a boneyard thread that includes posts that refer to them singing the song. The thread “I trust everyone wants to see the Eagles win since” was opened by SVCBeercats on the day of Super Bowl LII 2/4/18. I can’t remember if their performance was before or after the game, but Based on the content and sequence of the posts I would conclude that they sung the duet sometime before the game. Some of the posts refer to KLS giving the performance a thumbs down which I had forgotten about.

It Certainly is a smart move. I don't know about your household, but in my house women spend all the money :)
