SuperBowl LIII ~ Whose Your Pick to Win???

Attachment 329104
I generally pull for Pittsburgh Steelers, Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints with equal zeal,,, but what can I say?? It is what it is. I've also thoroughly enjoyed this hate/half-hearted respect thing that I've had with the New England Patriots for many years now. I've always said I'd pull for any team against the New England Patriots.

On the other hand: I've never really liked the Rams (although I like their "scrappiness" this year) and I'm still absolutely bummed out by how the Saints were beaten by the referees in the playoffs by their missed calls.

All that being said: I want to see a good game... but I simply can't pull for the New England Patriots.

GO LOS ANGELES RAMS!!!!

Who are you pulling for???

Won't be watching. Far too many kids lost their arms, legs, brain parts, etc. fighting for a flag that some NFL players ,making millions a year, think it's ok to
disrespect.

I totally see and respect your point brother and agree that the whole kneeling thing was disrespectful and politically motivated by the "left wing" factions of our country. I actually (originally) said I would boycott the NFL... but there is a much bigger majority of people who do respect the flag and the veterans who also love to watch the game of football. Heck, if I boycotted everything that the far left found offensive or protested against... I'd hate everything just like they do. Thanks for voicing your heart-felt opinion.

I’ll take LA by 3.

I respect everyone’s opinion on the subject posted earlier. But I disagree with some of it. I spent 14 years of my life protecting everyone in this country’s right to protest if that’s what you want to do. I don’t have to agree or disagree. May not like it but still believe they have the right to do so if the chose. Just like if you don’t want to watch that’s fine. I’m not going to allow something like that stop me from watching something I enjoy.

Well said Cray. I am a veteran as well, so was my father before me, and so was his father before him and I don't believe anyone could have put it any simpler or better than you did.

Well obviously I'm a Tennessee Titans fan and I guess my Super Bowl was back on November 11 when my Titans absolutely whipped the New England Patriots 34-10. I was pulling for the Chiefs vs Saints, but that didn't happen (but it should've happened). Anyway, I've got a Popeye's cajun fried turkey that I'm bringing to a friend's house and I'm sure we'll enjoy the food, commercials, halftime show, and the game.

With that being said.......probably gonna jinx them, but Go Rams!

I don't care who wins any game as long it is not Tom (the most over-rated qb in the NFL) Brady.

Also agree with the above comments. If you can't respect what others have done for you maybe you would be treated better calling somewhere else home.

I hate football and usually don't care who wins, but this year, any team playing AGAINST the Rams is who I want to WIN!!!!!!! The way their owner SCREWED St Louis, I hope they NEVER win another game and they don't have a quarter of the stadium full!

I have one of my gut feelings that is usually more right than it is wrong....pulling for the Patriots but I think the Rams pull out the win.

Not a Patriots fan but pulling for Brady to get number 6. Modern day quarterbacks Montana and Brady are at the top of the heap.

Wish Belichick was the coach of the team I root for the Steelers.

I honestly feel with the talent that the Steelers have had on the roster for the last 4-5 years if Belichick had of been the coach the Steelers would have about 3 more SB trophies in the case. The Steelers current coach lets the inmates run the asylum and has no control over the locker room and the troublemakers.

That's what I meant by the hate/half-hearted respect thing I've had for the Patriots for more than 7 years or so now. I can't and won't take anything away from Brady or Belichick because they both have earned their place in the annuls of greatness and the NFL Hall of Fame. As a Steelers fan from way back: I have lost a whole lot of faith in both Roethlisberger and Tomlin (as never before) and agree that it's time to do something with both of their unreliably hot and cold running butts; and that the Steelers have been just a click or two away (prolly those two clicks mentioned) from (again) being an unstoppable force in the NFL.

I lived in the St. Louis area most of my life until I move to Tennessee 5 years ago.
I always felt the Rams did St. Louis a big favor by leaving. The things the Rams wanted the city to provide them with was rediculous. If I remember correctly they wanted about a half billion$$ of stadium upgrades and other perks for them to stay. I always said they should tear the stadium down before the Rams could change their mind and want to come back.

The STOLE BOWL. I'm still mad as ****. I want heads to fall. Starting with the NFL commissioner. Lame response Changes coming in the rules for officials, to late now for the SAINTS. I'm boycotting this one. Sorry I had to vent.

I agree that there is no excuse for any "so called" professional referees to have missed such blatant rules violations as the two that occurred against the New Orleans Saints. My brother claims that the game was bought and paid for to deliberately go against the Saints. I would love to think that there's more integrity left in the world than that. I don't want politics in football and I don't believe the majority of the American people do either.

My pick to win?

The over paid players, the owners, and the advertisers.

The loser?

Anybody who paid for a ticket.

It used to be that such events as the Superbowl were as momentous and meaningful to Americans as the flag and a slice of mom's apple pie and were things we all looked forward to in fellowship and celebration. But I guess this spirit is no more according to the majority, who have responded to this thread with little more than sarcasm, cynicism and disdain. I guess even more shocking to me: I was always raised to believe that our Savior Jesus Christ made the only perfect sacrifice that would ever really matter to a sinful and selfish mankind, but it's not His sacrifice but some of our own that has somehow become more important.

I guess the majority would have the rest of us just accept that (the world) (we all) have digressed to such a place that we are now "numbed" and "hardened" by our own haughtiness, selfishness, unrepentance and unforgiveness to such a place that we no longer remember what America used to be and clearly not to encourage one to another to rally together for what awesome thing we believe America might be again. Isn't this much the same way as cancer cells invade and overtake and corrupt healthy cells in the human body?

Over my disappointment with the state of the union, the NFL and with the majority response to this thread: I would respectfully remind all that the Bible teaches us that we should walk in love and compassion for our neighbor and by faith and not by sight all of the days of our lives. May God have mercy on us all as we continually choose of our own volition to pass by on the other side.

Moderators, please close this thread as it has certainly outlived its usefulness. I apologize to everyone on the forum for my mistake that what I thought to be a fun and very simple question"Whose Your Pick to Win" might rekindle that patriotism of old; yet somehow morphed into something very political and very ugly---something far different than I intended it to be.
