Well, Brian Tuohy and my friend were right and I was wrong.

I didn't think they'd go Atlanta.

But Brian Tuohy was one of the first to say it, and my bullshit-detector friend was telling me this tonight:  Today was the last game of 25 years of the Georgia Dome.

That, and the new "space station" stadium, were all the league needed on the NFC side.

Too bad both my friend and I believe it will make no difference.

Brady and Belichick are getting #5, and, if they don't retire on the spot, #6 and maybe more.

The Green Bay Packers, Wisconsites, are "jobbers to the stars".  Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews and the rest are NOT winning a Super Bowl in Wisconsin.

There are many players in this league who are names but not relevant.  For all this talk of "running the table", look at the reality of these playoffs (in addition to the very correct theory my friend and Brian have):

• Most-fined team:  New York Giants.
• Most-suspended:  Dallas Cowboys.
• One of the largest unsportsmanlike conduct fine series of the season: Antonio Brown and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
• And, at least to my ability to find the fines, the Green Bay Packers were one of the highest-fined teams in the NFL as well.

But still, especially in this year, there is one thing to keep in mind:

Tom Brady and Bill Belichick are two of the biggest Trump-humpers around.  Brady and Belichick made no secret of their love for Donald J. Pussygrabber.

The Patriots, with Spygate, Deflategate, and all the other shit they've been allowed to get away with, are almost certainly the perfect team for the first Super Bowl championship of President "You're Famous, You Can Do Anything To Anyone Without Penalty".

(And, in fact, right now, my friend and I, watching old game shows on BUZZR, saw a commercial for the Air Dragon -- in which a blue-clad #12 has a deflated football, which the announcer says will get him in trouble...  If I can find that commercial on YouTube before Super Farce LI(E), I'm posting it here.)

EDIT TO ADD 1:18 AM 1/23:  And, as if on command, my friend found it:


EDIT TO ADD 8:45 PM 1/31: And in the "AW, COME ON!!" Department: The video has been taken down by the company who made the commercial.

The Patriots, probably because of the belief in Atlanta's offense, are only 3-point favorites.

To me, that's an easy give.  Give the three, and either you get a push on a last-second FG if the league wants to keep 110 or so million people watching, or, more likely at least in my opinion, Atlanta gets blown to pieces by "Make America Cheatriot Again".
