I can't stand the Trump Supporting Patriots and their Owner along with Brady who also have a cozy relationship with Trump.. Good Article....
The worst thing? I don't think the Rams have a chance... The Patriots are so good they're "tired of winning" Trump..
I can't bare the thought of another Patriot S.B. Victory...Normally I'd be all in on New England..Piece below is good.

(14,565 posts)My friends from USC were Rams fans. I sat through many a frustrating game with them decades ago, while they still bemoaned the lost opportunity in the Super Bowl a few years earlier with Ferragamo against the Steelers. Not a close final score but anyone who watched them game realized it was a misleading tally.
They semi-cared about the Rams once they relocated to St. Louis, but not really. None of them were rejoicing the 1999 title.
I haven't remained in touch with all of those friends. But the ones I do have contact with picked up the Rams happily and seamlessly upon the return to Los Angeles. I hope it pays off today.
Mostly I miss being in Las Vegas on Super Bowl weekend. As a sports bettor that was always one of the hectic times of the year. And solely due to the props...like yardage passing, and whether there will be a score inside the two minutes warning of the first half, etc..
Those props would sit on the board calmly for nearly two weeks. Hundreds of them. We knew what the proper price was. But once the tourists hit town on Saturday prior to the game, they could take those props in wild directions. No sense whatsoever. They would move one way at one sportsbook and pushed sharply the other direction somewhere else. My friends and I had a field day picking off the bargains. Often no sleep whatsoever because some crazy number would appear at 5 AM. So many times I would be watching the game at a comped Super Bowl party while trying to remain awake, and trying to remember exactly what I needed among all the props. Then after the result I'd be sifting through dozens of tickets while comparing notes and bottom line with the two guys I worked with. We would pool money and chase numbers all around town plus on the phone, then later also the internet. Wild times.

(8,515 posts)We love NFL Football but can not stand the Trump Loving Patriots... My Post is mostly about Trump and how he effects our lives negatively even in an Arena which should not be political.. Football Games on T.V. It's pure entertainment!
Thats why I posted this thread... It's about our President negatively effecting every part our lives...
Please make sure you don't click on my posts anymore.. Your sarcasm is underwhelming.

(33,345 posts)I'm sincere.
You say you don't care, but then you post about it. You care.
There's an easy way for you to make sure you don't see my comments anymore. See the X?

I don't expect much brainy stuff from professional athletes, particularly those who butt heads for a living and often end up with serious brain injuries. Coaches and owners are a different story. I guess Kraft, Bellichek, and Trump are all lifetime members of the same club: Corrupt Old White Guys Who Will Do Anything to 'Win'"

(18,470 posts)If it was the Rams and just about any other team with the possible exception of the Cowboys I'd watch.
I cannot stand the fucking Patriots either.
