**OFFICIAL 2016 NFL SEASON THREAD**

[Jan2017]

Could still be interesting at 2:00 break . . . and down to the eight yard line

and now a two-point conversion to tie and OT

[loveshiscountry]

Falcons won't just play zone defense and let Brady lob passes all day long.

28-28 great game
I'll admit when I'm wrong. Even accounting for sacks attributed to coverage the Falcons had a good pass rush today.

[Brian4Liberty]

Looks like we have a game!

Couldn't write a better movie script for advertisers.

defense better wake the $#@! up

[Jan2017]

Pats in FG range in OT already

[tommyrp12]

The GOAT!!!!!!!!!

Tuck.

And the Cheatriots bought another ring.

If I were to ever be gay for somebody, it would be for Tom Brady, right now

[CPUd]

The Falcons had that game until their last drive when they got that holding call that put them out of FG range.

[Brian4Liberty]

Why did that feel like the Alabama vs. Clemson championship game?

Professional sports in America: it's all about fair play and the goal of winning championships. At least that's the spin. But could it be a massive showbiz operation filled with greedy owners, crooked referees, and coddled players, all with the unstated goal of grabbing as much money as possible?

Author Brian Tuohy provides a full-sourced saga of the corruption that has infected the storied histories of the NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL, and NASCAR.

With reality obscured by a complacent and often complicit sports media, The Fix Is In shines a light on a hidden history of clandestine arrangements between television networks and sports leagues, all against a background of drinking, drugging, and crime.

Finally, here's a book that unflinchingly examines the sordid underbelly of the American sports industry

Tom Brady is a mediocre QB.

...and a piece of $#@! human being.

[Brian4Liberty]

Are they booing? Is this nation filled with crybabies?

[phill4paul]

Are they booing? Is this nation filled with crybabies?

Perhaps there was an awakening to being controlled?

It's cool, its only natural to be jealous

World Series 7th game in an extra inning . . . and now the first Super Bowl in OT.

- not to mention a last fraction of a second 'Nova shot and last second Clemson touchdown in the NCAA championship games
and a non-politician TeeVee celebrity star tycoon wins the Presidency . . . go figure!

Some feminist on FB have noted how much they loved his "dude booty." I mentioned that was sexist and the told me to shut my privilege.

[sam1952]

However, whatever happened there, wow. As a Steeler fan I was lovin' the Pat's getting their asses kicked. There was no way Pat's would come bacck, even kicking an on-side kick in the 3rd qt. But the football gods saw it differently. Atlanta lost that game. so many chances to put it away and they failed like losers. The Patriot's hung in there and took advantage of every opportunity given them and succeeded every time. Everything feel into place... even the coin toss.. Tom Brady, best quarterback of all time, Patroits, best team of all time... What a team effort at the end of that game, bravo!

I hate seeing it too...

[MallsRGood]

I'm not jealous, I'm contemptuous.

I'm also not a fan of whatever that other team was, Georgia or sumptin...

Basically, I just loathe Brady because he's overrated.

[Brian4Liberty]

Experience wins. Atlanta should have run up the score. Instead, they let down their guard.

+rep Tom Brady is a person, not some object to stare at and sexualize

[Carlybee]

I don't watch football but watched a bit since one of the Pats went to the same high school I did.

Yep , blew it , would have had the lock with the 11 point lead .

It was like it was Hollywood scripted. Hell, I called it sitting in my chair watching it before it happened. The old lady told me to STFU. That there was no way NE could win. I called it at half time. I called it because it was Hollywood standard material. OT and NE win. At halftime. I'm not a psychic. I'm just a reader of drama and fiction.

Thank you. They say red-blooded American males, such as you and myself, are insensitive. I'm very sensitive. Sensitivity was taught to me by my mother, sisters and ex-wife. Oh, and the nieces. Can't forget them. I was wrong to point out the hypocrisy it seems. I do agree with you though. Tom Brady's butt is not some object to stare at and sexualize. I'm like, Oh, me Gerd. Then they remind me I'm privileged.

Just like a pro wrestling "match".

With billions of dollars on the line, there is no way any of this is being left to random chance.

lol

Like the game was going to be allowed to be over by halftime. Who didn't think the Patriots would come "roaring back" in the second half?

Nice planned offsides by Freeney to ensure the Pats got two shots at the 2pt conversion. So rigged.
