Super Bowl

- Matt Stafford legacy

- The classic Matt Stafford game. 2 Bad INTs. 1 late drive. Help from refs. 26/40 283. 3 - 2

- Cooper Kupp. Best WR in the league since....

- Did the refs cost Bengals the game?

- two iffy holding calls at the goal line. But, No PI on Chase TD.

- Joe Pedestrian Burrow. 22/33 263. 1 TD. 0 INTs

- Did not lift his team in the biggest moments. No memorable throws. Pedestrian effort.

- Bengals OL worst players on the field

- I would be afraid of Burrow's comments after the game. Classic case of thinking its easy to get back. AFC has a lot of road blocks. Especially for a top 10 guy

- Fuck off with the retirement talk from Donald and McVay

- Aaron Donald greatest Defensive player ever? NOPE. Lacks impact on the game. Thank LA for that.

Reggie White

Mean Joe Green

- Did McVay impress you? I was not impressed by either coach.

- No adjustments on either side. Same shit over and over made for a lifeless game

* The final play lacked excitement. Why?

Celtics chat with Jack
- Celtics 135 vs 76ers 87. - Celtics 9 straight wins. First team ever to win 3 road games in a row with 30+ point win margins. - Currently 6th seed. 3.5 out of 1st. 1.5 games from 4th and hosting a playoff series.
76ers were winners of 8 of their last 11. They Arguably have the MVP of the league. Got dismantled on their home court. - Tatum filled up the stat sheet in 3 quarters 28 12 6- Jaylen Brown 26 points in the 1st half.- No Timelord, no problem vs 76ers - Daniel Theis - 4 blocks in first game back with the Celtics. He is basically Ben Wallace, Right Ray?- Al Horford's main purpose on this team is stopping Joel Embid. 28 possessions - gave up 8 points. 3 - 7 shooting. 3 TO's - I HATE watching Embid. He's soft and gets the softest whistle in the league. - The 76ers are dead with this Harden deal. Heard it here first.
- Celtics currently 2nd in Defensive efficiency in the league. Behind Golden State

- Derrick White led +/- in 2 out of 3 games with Celtics - Your thoughts on his impact

- Are we seeing the Celtics ceiling or do they have more room to grow? - Need to see high leverage performances in the playoffs
* Concerned about Marcus Smart injury?* Should they be aggressive in the buy out market or promote from with in? -Who are you targeting? Wings, Bigs, or gaurd?

HEADLINES with the OBVIOUS ONE

The Celtics are baking up something Special for Big Mac.

They pick up their 9th straight win vs the 76ers last night 135 to 87. Is that good? Jaylen Brown led all scores with 29. 26 in the first half.

Tatum treated the stat sheet like a Tuesday at Irene's and filled er up! 28 - 12 - 6.

League MVP and the walking soft pretzel Joel Embid was held to 19 points.

Raystadomus says the Celtics also beat the lowly Pistons on Wednesday night to move with 3 games of the #1 overall seed in the East.

Bruins pick up a point in an OT loss to the Rangers. Swayman showed up, but the absence of Marchand and Bergeron has been evident with only 3 goals in the last 3 games.

They probably lost to the Islanders on Thursday with Skidmark in net. - Raystadumos doesn't do hockey

The Los Angeles Rams are the 2022 Super Bowl Champions. They beat the Bengals 23 - 20.

Cooper Kupp was the MVP. He finished with 8 rec 92 yards and 2 TDs including the game winner from Matt Stafford. Stafford finished 26 - 40 283 yards 3 TDs 2 INTs.

Aaron Donald ended the game with his sack on Pedestrian Joe Burrow. His 2nd of the day.

Joe Burrow, well he showed up.

This has been HEADLINES with the OBVIOUS ONE

Bruins

Hall - Haula - Pasternak

Points in the last 3 games. ZERO. ZERO. ZERO.

- Confirmed Hall is a bum

- Confirmed Pasta is a front running side car

Frederick - Coyle - Smith

- Best line in the absence of Marchand and Bergeron.

Coyle asst and goal.

Frederick really physical

Smith consistent heavy play

- Swayman shows up 33/ 34 saves.

- Is the goalie by committee best for Swayman?

- JT Miller market clarified

Boston hockey now - Joe Haggs

It’s going to cost them a first-round pick, an additional draft pick, a top prospect like Jack Studnicka, and a roster player like Jake DeBrusk to replace the outgoing Miller. The question is whether Studnicka would be enough to get the deal done, or whether a team like the Canucks would demand first round pick Fabian Lysell

Simplest minds of the week

Vernon Hargreaves - Ran on the field in flip flops after Bengals INT

Zac Taylor - Adjustments are for pussies. Nerds rule.

Court of Arbitration for Sports - IOC - Russia

-15 year old Kamila Valieva tested positive for trimetazidine at the 2022 Russian Figure Skating Championships in Saint Petersburg, Russia, on Dec. 25

- Russia the country is not technically in the Olympics because doping scandal. Russian Olympic Committee is. Now this. Fuck the IOC. Fuck the Olympics.

- Last person I blame is the girl. Everyone else is a dope
