Well, the solution is simple... everyone who's annoyed about it shouldn't watch the SB. Problem solved.

Here's one example why its excessive. Yeah maybe for a 3 hour game, they're not spending a lot of time showing her, but they're cutting over to her left and right. Don't forget about all of the chatter that occurs with focusing on her as well.

It's gotten even worse than the 10 shots of Jerry Jones every Dallas game.

What's gonna happen if we see something like this with Taylor Swift?
I love "The Mother of Dragons" so any time she wants show up at an NFL game is fine with me!
 
@Don Quixote
I'm a little confused by your laughing emojis. I wasn't making a joke about the media obsession regarding TS - what did I say that was humorous?

You seem to be putting a lot of laughing emojis on people's posts - just trying to understand your perspective.

Whelp, of the two teams I absolutely didn't want ending up in the SB, they did. I have zero interest in watching the superbowl with all of the shots of Taylor Swift in her luxury box, and talking about Taylor Swift this and Taylor Swift that
oops quoted the wrong post...
 
I just think it is funny that TS is bothering people...
Its spending more time on inane chatter and not focusing on the football. Its bad enough that many of the talking heads talk over the referees, or talk about the prior play using their telestrator when the next play is already underway. I choose to watch football, to, you know, watch football.

I have two daughters who love TS, and I personally enjoy her songs, there are other artists that my kids like that I hate, but she's one I enjoy, yet with that said, I'd rather watch football instead of her jumping up and down because her boyfriend did somethin
 
Rooting for SF because my wife and her family is from there but man, it'd be cool to see the Lions in the SB!
Same here. Born and raised in the Bay Area (but don't live there anymore). I was still holding hope for the Lions 😂 It would have been cool to see them go to the Super Bowl, whether they ended up winning it all or not!
 
Dan Campbell is an absolute moron, those fans deserved a better shot than that. That was stubborn and meat headed, not once but twice…… I understand that being aggressive got you here, but smart coaches make adjustments in tight playoff games.

This right here... This... For crying out loud, there is no next week. Your season is done... UGH.

Not going to pick a team this time around... My record is horrible, especially this last weekend. UGH.

It's not really Tayor Swift. It's the whole KC Chiefs thing. Mahomes and Kelsey in so many commercials (now Reid too), then the games, there she is...it's overexposure. The Chiefs are probably the worst, most overexposed team she could be associated with.

Definitely annoying that I have to see Mahomes and Kelce in like 85% of commercials during football games. I mean do these companies know that there are other athletes and celebrities that can be influential and marketable too jeez.

The Taylor thing doesn’t bother me really, they probably show her for what amounts to like 1 minute of total tv time a game. And it’s not like they cut away from any game action to do so. It’s not the first time nfl games cut away to show celebrities in the crowd…. Granted i know she is there for every chiefs game.

My take on the games :eek:
San Fran vs Lions, how come db's can't seem to catch? The San Fran rally would have not happened the way it did if the ball didn't bounce off the Lions db's head and was caught by the San Fran receiver.
Even with hindsight, no problem with the Lions going on 4th downs because it's the way they always play. If they were made people would be praising the move.
Lastly, the Lions did not throw the ball to ST. Brown enough.

Chiefs vs Ravens, Raven receivers need to know how to get open. The Chiefs know how to win :) even without the dynamic T. Hill and who would've thought KC's defense would show upo_O.

Taylor Swift doesn't bother me but always showing her after Kelcie makes a catch is :eek:
All in all this year's post season was great.

Now on to the somewhat rematch!!!!!!

As I said before, it was never anything she did wrong. Unfortunately, Taylor is collateral damage.

That was the catch of the year for me. Even better than Lamar Jackson passing the ball to himself and running it a few yds.

Of course, if it works it's always great and people go nuts how brilliant it was. If it fails, be prepared for a *********.
That's the funny thing about Purdy too. All the haters say he's a system QB, anyone could do it. And yet if Jackson, Allen or Goff pull of a move, they're celebrated. If Purdy does the same thing, all he get's is "oh he got lucky". People... 🤷‍♂️

If it was OBJ who made that catch, people would be singing his praises.

And yeah, that Campbell guy is awful. Detroit should get rid of the coach who had them on the cusp of their Holy Grail, reaching the SB, doing just what he did. :rolleyes:

I think the more eggregious move was running the ball with a minute something left and then having to burn a timeout, which forced them to have to onside kick..... Under no circumstances should a running play have been called there... You have to take shots at the endzone and hold on to your timeouts if you need 2 scores...... Not sure if that was Johnson's decision or Campbell's... but that's where the game was lost.

*edit* this is what I am referring to:

I missed all but about twelve of those because I record games and skip ahead when there is no action on the field.
