Because, frankly, even with video evidence, the referees who make the final call are human, and there is data proving that referees are influenced into making calls/throwing flags based upon how the players react to the previous calls throughout the game. In this case, it didn’t matter — there was a review and clear…

That argument is kind of adorable. Poole seems more incredulous than anything else and Edelman is just astounded that it happened.

it’s obvious you’ve never actually played a sport in your life

It’s unnerving how calm both Edelman and Poole are when discussing such an important play in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl. I can’t tell if it’s evidence that the players see themselves as just doing their job or it’s proof they’re worlds better than the average person.

This is a football game.

“A walking embodiment of privilege”? Do you even follow football or know anything about this subject?

you don’t like Tom Brady

You should have been dick punching way before those two things.

Alternative take: Fuck Trump. Fuck the Pats. Fuck Boston. Fuck you. Fuck Atlanta and the Falcons, too. Fuck it all. Spring training starts soon. HERE WE GO, PHILS.

I just think it’s funny how people are shitting on boston/MA fans for Trump b/c of Brady and Belichick (which, yup, fuck them.

Good god. This game was not the election. Just a football game.

Brady is Jordan and he’s Gretzky.

Be happy we’re all alive to watch the greatest QB win in the most incredible way imaginable.

It’s a win for excellence and commitment and saying GO FUCK YOURSELF to Roger Goodell. And boo the fuck out of him on TV for good measure.

This is the falconsiest falconing anyone has ever falconed, and anyone ever will.

Lots of motherfuckers coming through on the live mic as the trophy makes its way to the stage.

My fav was all the people commenting earlier how the Falcons had won the game. They stupid. Lolz

I don’t know how the Patriots did it. But there I was, cheering for them like the Russians cheering for Rocky at the end of Rocky IV.
