Will be the first Superbowl I haven't watched in a decade. Cyclone Gabrielle said 'NO'.

Sounds like Hurts hasn't fully recovered from his shoulder injury. Hoping to see the best of these 2 QBs today.

I honestly will never understand the appeal of this sport.

Eagles up 24-14 at HT and it's looking ominous for KC. What a time for Mahomes to aggravate his injury.

Your 2 touchdowns, Gummy. Although they are reviewing this fumble - and have changed it to an incomplete pass,

24 - 21 to Philly

Is Hurts unaware of the play clock?

And back come Philly. This is great.

Trying for the two point conversion - and Hurts runs it in.

All tied up at 35 each

That had to be the softest call I have ever seen in NFL games; let alone a Superbowl match.

Fun game. Chiefs really came alive in the second half.

That was the shittest ending in sport history.


When someone has a chance for a walk-in score, and doesn’t take it for “clock management” reasons, you HAVE to know there is something wrong with how your sport works.

This why people should stop moaning about the ending. If your much vaunted defence can't hold a significant lead against a one legged QB (even Mahomes), and the offence don't slide in the knife for the killer score in the whole of the second half, that's on you, not the refs.

ESPNPlayer closing next month. No mention of College football on the TNT website.

Currently there's no legal way of watching NCAA College football in the UK. Fucking shite situation.

Thats shit.
No replacement option emerged yet? You get a few games with BT Sport I think, or at least they used to show some.
Ian Madigan for Ireland.

BT taken over by TNT, that's part of Warner. Agreement between BT and Espn ended last week, there no more espn programming in BT, and Disney aren't going to relicense it to Warner.

Didn't expect the Texans to blow away the Browns like that, especially after such an exciting to-and-fro first quarter. But then Flacco threw back-to-back pick sixes and CJ Stroud was fantastic, as was the Texans' defence.

Next up, Dolphins at Kansas City, and by fuck it looks freezing there!

A balmy -18C (feels like -28C) - the 4th coldest game in NFL history apparently.

BRRRR!!

The Chiefs never looked in complete control, but considering the frigid conditions that probably counts as another blowout.

Can't help but laugh at the Dolphins. From 2nd seed to being out the playoffs in five weeks.

McDaniels is over rated as a HC.

Or playing a winning team. Last night wasn't their problem. They crapped the bed over the last 5 weeks. They've only scored 87 points against teams with >.500 record this season.

Their fans gave out so much shit during the season to Bills fans when their team wasn't doing it against good teams.

From 2 TDs up on the Titans with minutes to go and a 3game divisional lead they crumbled.

Not hopeful that the Bills will do much in the play offs as I question McDermotts in the big moments but pretty pleased the way the defense has overcome several damaging injuries this season.

If you want shitting the bed, look no further than Philadelphia. From 10-1 to 11-6. Including losses to the Cardinals and the Giants.

Both can be true. The 'Fins fans have just done way too much chirping for a team that let Will Levis come from 14 behind with 2:55 left and then not win the division.
