What teams will play in the next Superbowl?

I just hope it's a good game and no players get serious injuries. There are already enough injured players to satisfy anybodies blood-lust.

There does seem to be a lot more injuries this year. Maybe just more publicized. With the size of some of these players, I am surprised there are not more.

It’s more the speed than the size and then there‘s the guys up in the booth looking for concussion protocols and the “blue tent”.

The current QB's do seem to be more speedy and somewhat more frail. I remember the "good 'ol days'. When the QB was just another tough dude. The days of - YA Tittle, Bronco Nagurski, etc. When a player bowed out because of a broken arm or leg. Now - it's a minor bruise or bump in the butt.

You DO know - noted psychologists compare the current FB games to the ancient Roman gladiator games. The only difference - nobody is supposed to get killed.

AND - holy Carp. Looking around at the upcoming superbowl. Do we all know how much the cheapest seats - way up in the noseblead section - will cost. Ticket ~ $4600 and with required fees ~~ $6700. And it tops out around $45K for seats in the dedicated club sections.

Makes watching it at home with chips and soda a whole lot more real. Besides - watching on TV gets us a whole lot better view than anywhere in the stadium.

Look how far we have come in the field of entertainment. In the days of Rome and the Gladiators - the lowly peasants got access to the Colosseum for free.

Unfortunately for some that also meant that they were often participants rather than merely spectators...

That is ......if they weren't food for the lions........."Christiani ad leones".

Those ticket $$$$$ prices are insane. I follow football a lot but I can't sit still even in front of a TV for a whole game, let alone in a stadium. Halftime, commercials or if a game seems decided, I do something else.

We are die hard EAGLES fans.
We moved to Mo. with a Co. I worked for 16 years ago from Pa.
Our youngest son use to run the computers at church and when pastor talked about Dallas he would put the Eagles logo on the screen.
Yesterday when they were doing the announcements the youth pastor was praising the Chiefs and he stands up with his green eagles coat on. Our pastor even said the Chief's are in trouble the way the Eagles have been playing. Coming from a die hard Dallis fan.
I have to decide were we are going to watch the game as we don't have TV at home.

Funny my nick name since I was about 10 years old is hootowl. I am also originally from PA. Just moved to Texas two years ago.
Hard core Eagles fans.
