    Three and a half hours before the game, and two and a half hours before the TFR takes effect. There are five Super Cubs and two C-150s orbiting the stadium right now, all registered to aerial advertising companies.

    Do they set up a CTAF for that pattern?

    I think that the town actually did get its name as a tribute to someone’s Ohio heritage.

    Think of all the petroleum products not slathered on Philly light poles that can be made into avgas instead.

    Sorry I didn’t have a chance to meet up with the Arizona PoA crew.

    Game decided by the referees in the final minute of game.

    The eagles had plenty of opportunities to score in the other 59 minutes of play. Even the guy who was called for holding came out today and said he was holding and it was a legitimate call. It wasn’t the refs that decided the game. The game was decided by how each team managed the clock.

    If I wanted to watch Clock Bowl, I'd try to find the obscure youtube channel hosting a Chess-off in some ex soviet bloc.

    I agree they were "within their rights" but I swear I felt like I was watching a lawyer drama and "oh look the counsel for the Chiefs has filed another motion". Dull AF. Especially that last minute "clock management" -- just felt like poor sportsmanship to me. Get your TD, give the Eagles their minute, defend if you can.

    No idea how glassankles mcgee got the MVP over the eagles' QB. That dude was like 3/4 of the entire Philly performance.

    As a Giants fan, I gave the Eagles every penalty in the book before the coin toss even happened. :)

    As someone who watched the game and knows a little something about football, and after hearing the refs report that there was zero question out of any of them that it was a penalty, and after hearing the penalized player himself say “yep, that was a hold, no doubt”, it leaves little to be discussed.

    Now if you want to say “well, it’s the friggin Super Bowl, maybe u don’t have to call that” or something to that effect, eh, ok. But to make a blanket statement that this one call means the entire game was thrown by the refs, I’d ask if u even watched the game.

    You change that aspect of the game and you run into unintended consequences. As I recall Eagles burned a timeout in the middle of the half because of poor preparation. The Chief's "clock management" was the punishment for wasting that resource. You change the rules and you'll need to figure out some other alternative for penalizing early TO's.

    Perhaps you would rather watch rugby instead? :)

    I <3 rugby and ARF. :D This was the first super bowl I've caught in awhile -- one of my clients is in philly and their corp culture is rabidly pro-eagles, so I thought I'd look in.

    No argument about the eagle timeout, that was cheese too and had me grouching at my fellow watchers.
