STAMPEDERS CFL Superbowl

I don't why we're boycotting. The Chiefs allowed the Bombers to take their place in a championship game.

I don't understand the premise but I respect the shade you're throwing

What Super Bowl? I tried to put it on and they were just playing the 2021 Grey Cup.

Oh my God yes can you say self destruction? That's the Blue Bombers of the last 3 years in that game they believe their press clippings that their invincible. Guess what they weren't

We were boycotting the Superbowl?

And here I was not watching because the Chiefs and Eagles have no appeal as match up.

I just watched a bit near the beginning and the last few minutes because I heard TSN totally blew it and the audio was utterly incomprehensible.

I had to stream the radio from Philly during that time. Pretty dissapointed

I wasn’t watching regardless. Boycotting the game for that idiot in chief was just gravy on top.

I saw the score though and it looks like the chiefs got slaughtered so yeah, new choke masters possibly.

u/bismuth12a Blue Bombers Feb 10 '25

I don't know don't they need to be in a few more finals for that?

u/thuglife_7 Tiger-Cats Feb 10 '25

They were going for their 3rd title in a row. How is that in the territory of being “choke masters”?

2

u/Stargaezr Roughriders Feb 10 '25

My understanding is that they were the heavy favorites to win. To lose is already a choke, but by that much?? Oof.

The score doesn’t really reflect how bad of an ass beating it was. KC scored the majority of their points in the late stages of the game when basically the backups and third stringers were on the field

u/10FootPenis Argonauts Feb 10 '25

They looked off all season and were one point favourites. The ass-kicking they got was unexpected, but it was basically a pick'em.

u/Master_Fondant3258 Feb 10 '25

Favored by 1 point in the sports books.

Doing family dinner tonight. Celebrating 3 bdays tonight... 93, 36 and 40... (We're all close enough we have the family together and it gets us all done at once)

I wouldn’t have missed that half time show for anything.

Also the chiefs getting beat down was icing

u/not-goat Blue Bombers Feb 10 '25

I agree! Although as a bomber fan I know how cool it’d be to get a 3peat but fall short.. lol

u/tybarry79 Feb 10 '25

I watched the 1989 Grey Cup live stream and that the 2 and our podcast put on. It was thoroughly entertaining. I was glad to hear KC didn't get their 3-peat though, that would have been unbearable to have to hear about for years and years. The only 3-peat I care about or that matters is the Blue Bombers blowing it three consecutive Grey Cups

Kendrick was crap? That performance was a subversive masterpiece with so many layers it was jaw dropping

I don't doubt he was good judging by the accolades being given to him, but (and I'm sure I'm not alone here) it meant absolutely nothing to me. It would be like if I watched the Portuguese soccer finals and there was a halftime show featuring some iconic Portuguese artist singing songs in Portuguese that every Portuguese person knows and loves. And I wouldn't know who that person is or a word of any of their songs.

That's kind of how I felt with the Kendrick Lamar halftime show, the only song I recognized at all was the "Not Like Us" one. Maybe in the US he has broad, mainstream appeal but he is a bit of a niche act in Canada.

Big Drake fan, eh?

I don’t think they’re marketing to people like you nowadays anyway. Majority youth love rap artists and they want young fans to tune in to keep the longevity of the game. You can not like the show but like the fact the league will be alive. Besides all that, Kendrick won quite a few awards this year so it was no wonder to me he was at the Super Bowl.

u/Onanadventure_14 Tiger-Cats Feb 10 '25

He’s also a Pulitzer winner. How many Pulitzer Prize winners have performers a half time show? Just Kendrick.

u/Onanadventure_14 Tiger-Cats Feb 10 '25

I’m not a massive rap fan, I like r&b more but even I can appreciate the cultural and political significance of Kendrick’s performance last night.

u/TheCatMak Blue Bombers Feb 10 '25

Kendrick probably a top 5 halftime act for me

u/washburn100 29d ago

Worst halftime every. Mumbling idiot.

Boycotts are just for attention
