I'm in the belief that not every aspect of a game can be rigged. I find it hard to believe that every TD, pass, interception, field goal, etc can be all according to plan. That takes a lot of coordination and some players are bound to not go with the script. I also don't like it when people try to have it both ways. If the Patriots won, you'd have people say it was rigged but if the Chiefs won, those same people will say they won because it was rigged.

Does anyone think the no-call was a deliberate effort to hand Tom Brady the championship? The issue has at least been raised.

It was suggested somewhere this morning. I thought I would ask.

I was unfortunately working during most of the games (caught part of the first quarter in the Saints/ Rams game and start of the 4th quarter of the Pats/ Chiefs so don't know how consistent/ inconsistent they were on calls. League is saying they blew it on that one though.
A "do- over" would be an even worse idea. Nothing would be the same as it was at that moment. Players have more chance to rest and coaches to prepare. "hot players" may go cold and vice versa. Do you resume play from the point of that call or start the whole thing over? Do all games get a "do over" if refs miss a call? Spend millions to replay less than two minutes (1:49) of the game? Do people who had tickets to the original game get into the replay free? Play without a crowd (that could also impact the remaining time of the game)? What sort of bad call would qualify for a replay? That too would be a judgement call.
If you want a replay, it needs to happen right away.

NEW ORLEANS -- Saints head coach Sean Payton said the NFL's head of officials told him the officials "blew the call" by not penalizing the Los Angeles Rams for pass interference late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's NFC Championship Game.
And Payton said he and the team will "probably never get over it" after the Rams went on to win 26-23 in overtime.
"For a call like that not to be made, man, it's just hard to swallow. And then to get a phone call ..." Payton said, trailing off. He added: "We spoke initially, then I called to follow up. And the first thing [head of officials Alberto Riveron] said when I got on the phone -- 'We messed it up.'

I’m not sure we are going to watch, in any case. Football games are so long. Plus, it will be my birthday, and I can think of many other things I would rather do. We will probably follow the score and tune in if it looks like something worth watching. I grew up in Southern California and don’t hate the Rams. I seem to remember my brother playing with two little boys down the street whose dad was on the coaching staff then. I couldn’t for the life of me remember their names. I know their mom brought food when our mom died.

I most likely will watch the SB despite my hatred for the Patriots. I just hope the commercials are good. Last time I remember the SB commercials being good was back in 2013.

Mayfield should have won rookie of the year. Guy took a team that was 0-16 last season and made them 7-8-1. That's quite a big improvement.

Too much estrogen for hubs tonight. We’re watching, but a little bit behind so we don’t have to watch the feminist manifesto in 60 second commercial segments.
Gladys Knight. What a pro.

Boring game so far. I was expecting both teams to have two TDs each by halftime.

Worst. Superbowl. Ever.

Now that the Super Bowl is over, coaches from the two participating teams are available for possible new jobs. Two got hired today. Cincinnati Bengals hired the Rams QB coach Zac Taylor for their head coach opening and the Dolphins picked up Patriots defensive coordinator Brian Flores to be their head coach. That leaves no current head coaching vacancies.
(Super Bowl viewership was the lowest since 2007- I didn't care for either team).
