Will Football History be rewritten in tomorrow's game? History: The 1967, 1968, and 1969 seasons saw the game called the AFL-NFL World Championship Game. The AFL champion was not competitive in the first two games. In 1969, Joe Namath, who pregame guaranteed the victory, and his AFL Jets upset the NFL Baltimore Colts (Baltimore is not a typo) in the old Orange Bowl in Miami, 16-7. In 1970 the AFL and NFL officially merged. It's the norm today but when Namath left the Pittsburgh area to play for Bear Bryant's Alabama team it was a big deal. See how the Chiefs and Eagles can make NFL history in Super Bowl 59 WWW.USATODAY.COM The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles could both add to their franchises' history with wins in Sunday night's Super Bowl 59.

The Over/Under on Taylor Swift mug shots? I know Lamar Hunt Senior's children own the Chiefs. I don't know anything about halftime performer Kendrick Lamar; however, I don't believe 78-year-olds are the aimed-at demographic.😁 Tom Brady, a B1G Michigan Man, is on hand. 🤓 Will Mahomey break more of the GOAT's Super Bowl records? Donald Trump, Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar and Tom Brady: Super Bowl 59 could break 2024 ratings record SPORTS.YAHOO.COM With so much star power in the building at once, it will be interesting to see how this Super Bowl draws people in beyond just the football game. Some interesting stats. KC's Andy Reid is 8-0 versus Eagles DC, Vic Fangio. The Chiefs are 32nd, dead last in the NFL in explosive plays. But 2nd in 3rd downs and eating up the clock on long drives. Vic Fangio plays zone defense 70% of the time. His pass D is first or second everywhere on the field except for passes of 10 to 19 yards where Philly ranks 15th. This is right in Travis Kelce's wheelhouse. Travis leads KC with 616 receiving yards against zone Ds. The Eagles have surrendered 75.7 yards on average to TEs this season. Hmmm? Hats off to Saquon Barkley on a terrific season. In the last 18 games, no RB has put up 100 yards on the KC D. 🤔 Have a Blast!

Yep, all the Dawgs on the Eagles give me paws. (Sorry. 😁)

Transfers in Notre Dame’s Offensive Line Highlight Position Group Strength WWW.SI.COM Notre Dame has lost multiple offensive linemen to the transfer portal this week but that's because of the incredibly strong unit that is still in place. Four OL who Left: OG Pendleton - Tennessee; OL Spindler - Nebraska; OL Coogan - Indiana; OL Chan - U Conn. No OL replacements signed from the 1st group of portal transfers.

A Ranking By the Benjis. Nos. 4 and 9? 😁 Ryan Day contract extension, explained: Where Ohio State coach ranks among highest-paid college football coaches WWW.SPORTINGNEWS.COM After winning the national championship and signing a contract extension, here's where Ryan Day ranks among the highest-paid college coaches.

I'll gladly take a repeat. Trust the coaches to handle the bye better in 2025-26. A fouled-up format, that will be gone after next season, does not dampen my desire to see OBD win titles and tick off the B1G traditionalists. As good as they looked in high school you never know with true frosh. And I want to see if Dante delivers and the D improves.

Day gets paid. But the Heat's still on. Ryan Day has his millions. He also still has Ohio State's impossible expectations - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM Ohio State paid Day like an untouchable, but the pitchforks never stay down long

The SEC again leads all conferences in Super Bowl participants. Adding Oklahoma + Texas did not hurt the cause. The SEC is crowning itself at the Super Bowl, since it missed the CFP national title again SATURDAYBLITZ.COM The SEC might have sat out of the national championship spotlight for the second straight year, but you wouldn’t know it by the way they’re strutting their stuf Philly is UGA North!

THIS makes as little sense as the house settlement appointing 7 folks from Deloitte who will determine if a NIL deal is within "market value." Why not simply hang out a 'Sue Me Again' sign? 'Market Value' is whatever the market will bear. Chip Kelly just broke the NFL assistant coach's salary record, scoring $6M a year from the Raiders. A group of accountants says: "This is out of line!" and Chip is supposed to bend over. 🤪 The proposed $2B House settlement is as antiquated as the term 'student-athlete.' It's designed to keep the NCAA afloat at a time when top athletic programs do not need the NCAA. BK the NCAA and come out of the process with an omnibus plan of reorganization that recognizes today's reality. I'm not that smart. No attorneys advising the NCAA can see how short-sighted House and all of these other band aides are in a day when big-time football and basketball are completely and unutterably capitalized. Is there a lawyer with half a brain in the House? The Emperor Has No Clothes!

HELLO, COLUMBUS 🤑. Ryan Day's new deal, $12.5M per annum! 😜

Terrific comment, thanks. Hartline interviewed for the West Virginia job and was supposedly a close runner-up to Rich Rod, who finally took country roads back home to his Mountain Momma. Under Urban Meyer and for his first five seasons as the head coach Day was the play caller. He called plays for many prolific TOSU Os. I don't believe play-calling will drop off significantly. if at all. Whoever plays QB will have Smith and other excellent receivers to throw the ball to. TOSU signed two quality RBs out of the portal, one from West Virginia. In 2025, TOSU will be in the top three Blue Chip-ranked teams. Like Georgia, Ohio State only signed six players out of the portal. But Ohio State and Georgia are tied at the top of Rivals with a 3.67 average portal transfer player ranking. Penn State also signed six players out of the portal with an average ranking of 3.33, slightly ahead of OBD's 3.22. Chip had a great 4-game PO run. But he was also calling plays in the Nebraska and Michigan games and the nail-biting win at Penn State. Coaching matters. The raw material, the Jimmies, and the Joes matter more. Saint Nick at Vandy would not be the GOAT.

What's worse? The shooting of Bambi's mother or Bamba's shooting? 🥸
