OT: The Other Sports Thread VII - NBA Finals: Raptors vs Warriors

[MarkovsKnee]

Ok, this Harrison Ford/Dog commercial is the best thing of the night. lmao

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Only watched the 4th quarter... I guess I did the right thing? Congrats Brady for your 6th title...

Retirement for Brady/Belichick?

They're both going until they die on the field or until the Pats miss the playoffs whichever comes 1st.

 

[dinodebino]

This was an awful game.

 

[dinodebino]

I'm sad for Brees. Should be the one carying the trophy. But when the fix is in, there's nothing you can do.

 

[Habsawce]

Maybe the worst superbowl ever.

 

[OldCraig71]

I was certainly very pleased with the outcome, it was a defensive struggle with both sides being great but the experience of Brady, Belichick, Gronk and Edelman was enough in the end to secure the Pats the win, it wasn't pretty but a win none the less.

 

[BLONG7]

Big defensive struggle..............the Pats deserve their due guys. Brady is beyond human.

How was the half time show? Lady Gaga was brilliant a couple of seasons ago (useless info but I saw her live in the UK supporting Take That and she was brilliant, she had only had her first hit then). Can’t believe it was only 3-0 in the 3rd quarter, this is why I don’t watch it as nothing happens

 

[Adam Michaels]

I swear, every year I just don't understand the SuperBowl trophy ceremony.

Someone walks with the trophy while all the players touch and kiss it. Then they bring it on a stage where the quarterback, owner, coach, and sometimes a few other players are on a higher platform than the rest of the team.

As well as the handing over of the trophy to the team is anti-climactic.

 

[CalgarySnow]

Damn Patriots win. My dislike for Brady goes on

Maroon 5 is hopefully done with music after that halftime show. Adam Levine should never sing live again.

I wish that the habs were like the Patriots but then again we used to be and back then everyone hated us as well.

 

[DubDub]

This actually might be the worst football game ever, let alone the worst superbowl ever!

Any time he has a criticism for a contestant on The Voice, they can throw it back at him by saying at least they're not as bad as his half-time performance.

Man, I have never heard anything as bad as that in a live performance, that man simply cannot sing and tbh it came off looking like he really knew that he was awful. The whole rap addition didn't work and wtf was the choir about? It was awful and I am sure he gets roasted for that whole debacle and rightfully so.

It's shit. Much like football and the super bowl. Ads upon ads and the suits touch the trophy first. It's why the Stanley cup is easily the best ceremony, and the grandest trophy.

 

[CalgarySnow]

Glad I missed it, Lady Gaga a few years back was great

 

[Patccmoi]

Honestly, I prefer this than when there's a blowout. At least game remained a 1 possession game nearly the entire time, so every play feels important. When a team is up over 21 points game is a lot less interesting to watch afterwards...

Football seems like baseball, goes on forever without anything happening

 

[CalgarySnow]

I have to admit son is a Saints fan so if they had made the Super Bowl we would have had to watch it thankfully they didn’t make it

Yea right. The call cost him a trip to the super bowl. Not THE Superbowl.

Pats would have beaten anyone....including the Saints

Cute, you think he sang that live?

Maybe they could add a shoot out. 5 on 5 in OT. Count missed shot attempts?

Football May "seem" like baseball to you. Its not.

Nothing special. Maroon 5 was ok I guess, but Travis Scott was ear garbage for me.

The game itself was a mixed bag for me. On one hand, I liked the chess match defensively but at the same time, there were a comedy of errors that kept this game so close. Normally I’d say anything can happen, a la MB, but when it was 10-3, it did feel like it was over.
