Are they really playing two national anthems now?

In 67 it was real football. No pass interference, chop blocks, real smash mouth football.

If you want to see how real men played foot ball go to YouTube and type in Larry Csonka's name. The man was a beast!

...I'll be watching on TV, then waiting on the Super Bowl...
...I dont concern myself with anyones personal life that does not directly impact me...its none of my concern...sports arent for everyone...always enjoyed playing as well as watching...
...Titans & Packers in the Super Bowl...have not a clue which team will win...but leaning Packers...
...The two teams I dont like at all, 49ers & Eagles, oh yeah, make that 3 teams...the Redskins, or their now PC name..."The Washington Football Team"...stupid Snyder...

Thank you Texas. No the league isn't perfect, but it never was. Way back when star receiver Lance Rentzel got arrested as a child pervert. Star running back Paul Hornung of the Packers got kicked out of the league for gambling.
I will be watching the Green Bay game. I played football in 22 degree weather in Atlanta, and it was no fun, hard to imagine playing in a Yankee blizzard I don't know how they do it.
But mostly I will be watching Tampa Bay on Sunday. Texas you made one little mistake in your picks, because Tom Brady is gonna win Ring Number 8!

allen griggs, I hadn't heard the golden boy's name in a long time. I was in a St. Louis club in '63 when Paul Horning and Alex Karras walked in. I knew who they were but didn't have the guts to go ask for autographs. They were out of football for a year for betting on their team to win games. Their association with some bad guys (gamblers) was a factor too. As select-fire said that back then it was a really rough game.

Yes, Paul Hornung, "The Golden Boy." He and Alex got caught with their hand in the cookie jar. A few years later Karras played "Mongo" in Blazing Saddles.
But Rentzel was out of football for good. A real sex freak.

I met Larry Csonka and Karl Noonan in a night club in Tampa back in the day, Larry was a nice guy as was Karl, they were in town for a charity Softball game.
Beast is a good description Smitty, man had no neck, hands like a baseball glove and fingers like cigars, big as a double door refrigerator.

For every bad apple in the NFL, there are probably nine that are great parents, raise a lot of money for charities work with youth groups, etc. Very good people. I don't agree with the politics of the NFL, NBA, but I certainly don't begrudge the players making a living doing something they have put long hard hours into with a certain level of risk and a short career. I guess that I am a capitalist.

I was unfortunate enough to get the center airline seat between two former Browns linemen. They were so big and hard I literally had to sit twisted sideways. At one point, one of them took off his ring, pulled a golf ball from his pocket, and dropped the ball through the ring - with room to spare. Big hands? I guess.

By the way, the Washington team should be called the "Washington Woke"

Don't forget Rentzel was married to Joey Heatherton. Wowza. Go figure.

My parents went to HS with Dave Robinson, of the Packers first two super bowl wins. He still lives here today. Sonny Jorgensen also lived up the street from us. These were real men, that played the game the way it was supposed to be. One of the tough guys back then was Mike Curtis, of the Baltimore Colts. Man played with a broken arm in a cast, and destroyed the other teams. They just don't make players like this anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Game tonight in Green Bay. Right now it is 20 degrees in Green Bay, headed to a low of zero. At game time, 15mph wind and light snow showers. Good God.
