2018 NFL Season ends: Patriots win Superbowl!

I have heard that stat but asking seriously, how many games is that? Feel like most of the time they have home field.

2015 - lost @ Denver
2013 - lost @ Denver
2006 - won @ Chargers then lost @ Colts
 
Yeah... It is really disappointing that states are going with higher vigs.

Zero reason for me to drop my online sportsbook.

Hopefully this dynamic changes over time.

NJ seems pretty legit since there is already a significant casino scene there, they all started up sportsbooks and all have mobile apps, and thus the competition is such they had to have normal vigs. But if you don't live there or obvs NV, it doesn't look great

I was working out in midtown NYC one day about 7 or 8 years ago. Hum drum gym, nothing special, not particularly elite. My thing is pullups. I've always been able to do them since I was kid. And I don't cheat. I don't those half ass 6 inch pullups and don't swing my legs for momentum. All shoulders, arms, and chest.

Anyway, I get to the gym, and it is usually the first thing I do when I am fresh, and I finish with it too on chest, arms days. I do my thing, 12 pullups. I could do more, but why?

Over almost immediately walks this guy I swear an inch or two shorter than me - I am 5'11" or used to be anyway. Over walks this guy, looks like an accountant. A fit accountant yes, but certainly didn't stand out as an athlete. NOBODY recognizes him. Not even the trainers flitting around. He proceeds to jump up and do 13 perfect pull ups. 13. I count them off because he is sort of smiling at me. I ignore him and go do my stuff. Running around from thing to thing. He ignores me, I ignore him. He disappears for a while somewhere, comes back. I am finishing up my little routine and pop off 10 more pulls ups. Damn if this dude doesn't walk over again with a slight smile to do pull ups. Finally, I recognize him. It's that scar on his face. Otherwise, I wouldn't have. He does 14 pull ups. Perfect form. I say, Drew Brees? You're shitting me? He smiles, puts a finger to his lips to shush me and walks away.

True story.
 
He's 12 years younger than you and can only do one more pullup than you ?

Saints suck.
 
I need more stories about casually knocking out double-digit pull-ups.
 
Sorry - it is the only pullup story I have in my bag.

But I will that you punks today! When I was kid, we had gym class every day and once a semester they'd do crazy shit like hang a rope in basketball gym from the ceiling with knots in it every 24 inches or so, and they'd throw one mat under it and ask you to climb up to the ceiling and down. Climbing up was relatively easy. Climbing down was fucking terrifying. Then, it was on to the peg board. Basically, they made 9 year olds do some sort of wack marine training routine ONE DAY a semester and hope nobody falls and breaks a leg or worse.

Of course, you young whippersnappers with your X-Box bodies didn't have to go all marine once or twice a year when you were young and therefore, can't knock off double-digit pullups.

I forgot, I do have one other pull up story - there was an 80+ year old guy in Queens I met who'd come down to the playground to knock off 3 pullups 4X a day (he said). Said the act of doing pullups kept him alive.

Get off my lawn!
 
If FOX and CBS were smart, they'd have Vinny from Queens in the booth with the two commentators to talk about the gambling aspect of the game. Much more informative than the token officiating dickhead that every network feels compelled to trot out during every broadcast - "Mike, what did you see?" "Well the ball hit the ground so it is incomplete". Once Rivers customarily shat the bed and that game was over in the first few minutes, at least the gambling expert could have kept talking about the spread, over/under, and other aspects to keep the audience.

If CBS and FOX were smart, they'd have Snoop in the booth. His commentary at the Kings' game last week was the greatest thing the NHL has ever done.

Didn't his son play for UCLA? In addition to being entertaining, he must know something about the sport.
 
Old QB vs young QB in each conference Championship.

In the NFC, Drew Brees, 40 years young, and the New Orleans Saints host 3rd year QB Jared Goff and the LA Rams.

In the AFC, this year's wunderkind, Patrick Mahomes and the KC Chiefs host Tom Brady and the Patriots.

Do the old guys get one more win and face each other or will the new kids assert themselves? Find out Sunday.
 
by my read, a Brady-Brees Super Bowl would be the second oldest QB matchup in NFL history
