Also, love Foles, but I think he will return to earth following his epic last game, where he looked like Brady. There is only one Brady especially when it comes to SBs. NE 27-17 for the win.

Nick Foles is a very good player but he's streaky. But when he's hot he's hot and capable of playing at the highest level.

Foles played well against a very good Minnesota defense, a defense that was better than the Patriot's defense. He's capable of playing well against the Patriots.

Nerves could play a big part in Foles's performance. Brady has been there, Foles hasn't. If the nerves affect him Foles could start off with early turnovers.

The pregame show just detailed a military base in Korea or somewhere. They are up and at em at 5:30 am and looked ecstatic for “the big game” with home made signs and decked out in jerseys and NFL schwag

Seeing these sights I always get wondering what the hell some of these people do at some of these non combat bases in Asia and Europe. Looks like nothing more than fun and games. No one ever looks defeated, beaten down, exhausted or anything. I’m sure many of these people too will embellish their role in the “global war on terror” whenever they wax nostalgically about their time in the army and interject that they are a veteran whenever they get the chance

It's been comical to see the reactions of football fans in Pittsburgh over this game. They hate the Patriots and especially don't want them to win today as that would give them six Super Bowl titles and tie them with the Steelers for the most of any team. But everyone here hates Philly sports teams, so the Eagles are the very reluctant lesser of two evils choice out of the two.

Here's the always charming Steeler rookie, the idiotically named JuJu Smith-Schuster, posing with a Patriots fan with his best room brightening smile while giving her/him/it a middle finger salute:

Bill Belichickiavelli is a master at getting the most out of his rosters by having them competing against each other to stay in favor yet play as a team.

Uncle Al and Chris Collinsworth. What a treat.

Seems I'm the only one I know around here (my here not CF) that likes the Pats. Weird, huh?

Pats start 7 whites on offense, no whites on defense, and 3 white specialists.

Eagles start 5 whites on offense, no whites on defense, and 3 white specialists.

Here is a fact. The Air Force Bases chow halls (cafeterias) rival many of the best private buffets restaurants in the country. Its all you can eat. Its free to lower ranked enlisted and a nominal fee for senior SNCOs and Officers. Top notch. The Navy and Marine chow halls are lower tiered.

Introductions.

The Eagles come out to a talentless jigaboo rap. Then the thugs do a ritual of jumping around and acting like wilderbeasts.

Patriots. They come out to classic hard rock. Ozzies crazy train. All professional. Just business.

Thats the difference between them and us.

Pink sang the national anthem. In a real classy and attractive move she took her gum out of her mouth two seconds before she started singing. One of the Patriots DBs had his face burried in his hand during the anthem as though he was ashamed he wasn't kneeling.

Another great public relations moment for the NFL and the WGAs.

I find myself rooting for Foles and the Eagles offense to do well against the Patriots coal defense.

Maybe we'll get a 49-42 final with the offenses scoring on every posession and a New England victory.

That was way too easy, at least the Eagles were held to a FG

My cousin is an Air Force recruiter. The Air Force has always been more about intellect than push-ups and suffering in the mud. Lots of smart White people.

Each team playing with confidence and poise. Burkhead had a good year, but gets injured at the wrong times. Hopefully, he will get some touches.

Just saw a great commercial.

Dodge ram trucks, featuring vikings riding in it.

Not a token black in it to muddy it up that i saw.. To the music of "we will rock you" .

Pretty cool
