Day 333: As we await St00pid Bowl LV's most important number...

• Showbuzzdaily has delayed the release of fast affiliate nationals until about noon Pacific.
• According to Brian Tuohy, it appears that the numbers were actually GOOD.  Wouldn't 100% surprise me, but the surprise level, especially given the game, would be way up there.   
• I do have to take umbrage with one thing with Brian -- I think he directly sidesteps the angle here with the Brett Reid DUI and making the league look bad, etc.  I know it's not a pleasant subject, and I know people would much rather...  But the simplest solution is the best:  If the game was that lopsidedly called AND the Chiefs appeared to be part of the equation with all of this, there was a reason, far beyond Brady's #7 (because, if he doesn't retire this off-season, there WILL be a #8!!!), to basically take this Super Bowl, chuck it into the trash, and not only make this about a bunch of mercenaries getting Brady and Tampa a ring, but not even make the other team remotely competitive in doing so, when the league has made a lot of meat with trying to keep games as close as possible, etc.
• Consider:  Not counting Week 17, with nothing to play for (and they still got 21 in that game), the fewest number of points the Chiefs had in any game was the 22-17 win over the Browns in the Divisional Round.
• And it's now coming out that Tom Brady used some degree of a slur to draw that unsportsmanlike conduct penalty from the Chiefs after the Antonio Brown touchdown.  Oh gee, what a freaking shock!   
• But this might be the moment of the Super Bowl.  Remember that I told you about Antonio Brown getting a ring and a touchdown, etc.?  Well, consider how much tampering and fucking around this piece of shit did to get them, and here's Pittsburgh's own UrinatingTree with his opinions on the entire mess:

• Delays on the ratings numbers have continued into the afternoon -- now no indication on when they will subside.
