In the utterly disgusting but not surprised category, Penn State trustees are meeting in secret to name the field after a chid rape enabler.

Well, that also depends on whether you think Southpaw was loving tribute, snarky mockery or somewhere in between.
Wasn't it really just a KFC commercial?

I haven't watched Cannonball Run in ages, thinking back I kind of remember the only funny parts being any scene with Dean Martin & Sammy Davis Jr., who could have they put in those roles?
If the WWE could have gotten the rights to a bunch of 70's and 80's Burt Reynolds flicks, they could have easily slotted Austin, Rock, Cana, or whoever in the starring role.

Nah, There are already a bunch of Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World knockoffs and Cannonball Run itself is a knockoff of Gumball Rally. "Wacky ensemble race comedy" is pretty much a genre unto itself.
Actually Cannonball with David Carradine came out a month before Gumball Rally. Then you have Speed Zone(1989) with John Candy which featured Jamie Farr making a cameo as "The Sheik", but I don't think anyone connected to the two Cannonball Run movies had anything to do with it.

Did they try to spin-off Austin's character from his guest spots on Nash Bridges? Or was the timing not right for him to do a series? I think he would have been perfect in an action cop show, think a winking at the camera Walker Texas Ranger.

Both the regular season and playoff OT formats are fine, they don't need changing.

It was essentially a "new game". If they had hit :00, that's the end of the "quarter" and they would have just flipped sides, because Kansas City had not completed their drive. If they had without scoring, the game would have ended.
I would *imagine* there's a 5 minute "half time" after 2 OT's. God help us all if they ever reach that.
EDIT -- now that I've read those rules.... yeah, no 'halftime', but new coin toss before OT #5. Honestly though, it's probably better if they just turn the clock off and play untimed until there's a winner.
You need to have the clock for playoff games played outside, if it's windy that's a big factor on some clock decisions.

I haven’t had a chance to look over the rules in full, but where I was watching, and there were a lot of us, we were all wondering wtf KC was doing wasting so much time at the end. We all thought that if the clock hit 0 with SF still up by 3 then that would have been the game.
So is that right or would it have been like the end of OT1 and gone into OT2?
CBS did a horrible job explaining what was going on with the clock in OT1, when they finally mentioned it with only a few seconds showing it was mixed in with Romo's diarrhea mouth. Below are the rules, OT1 going into OT2 is the same as what happens between the 1st & 2nd and 3rd & 4th quarters, if somehow they played through OT2 it's basically like halftime without the break.
QuoteOVERTIME RULES FOR NFL POSTSEASON GAMES
Unlike regular season games, postseason games cannot end in a tie, so the overtime rules change slightly for the playoffs.- If the score is still tied at the end of an overtime period — or if the second team’s initial possession has not ended — the teams will play another overtime period. Play will continue regardless of how many overtime periods are needed for a winner to be determined.
- There will be a two-minute intermission between each overtime period. There will not be a halftime intermission after the second period.
- The captain who lost the first overtime coin toss will either choose to possess the ball or select which goal his team will defend, unless the team that won the coin toss deferred that choice.
- Each team will have an opportunity to possess the ball in overtime.
- Each team gets three timeouts during a half.
- The same timing rules that apply at the end of the second and fourth regulation periods also apply at the end of a second or fourth overtime period.
- If there is still no winner at the end of a fourth overtime period, there will be another coin toss, and play will continue until a winner is declared.

So apparently the Chiefs were aware of the new OT rules and absolutely wanted to ball second. Had SF scored a TD, KC players have said, they would have gone for two, to end the game.
Meanwhile, report is many Niners players weren't aware of the rule change and read the new rules for the first time when they came up on the jumbotron.
It blows my mind that the 49ers coaches didn't go over the playoff OT rules leading up to their first playoff game and then reminders before each subsequent game. I coach roller derby for "fun" and go over the OT rules before each game, even ones I know we'll win by a lot or get blown out in.

Clark Hunt looks like the evil college dean from an 80’s movie. Also, Elway looks just as old as Csonka.

That Fire Country promo was the funniest commercial so far, even though it wasn’t supposed to be funny.

The Gigli of Super Bowl commercials just aired.

Greenlaw, no less. Fucking field turf.
It’s real grass, they roll it in for games.
Also, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this many candy commercials in a Super Bowl.

kinda remarkable that the Chiefs are leaning this hard on the run game when they have one above average running back
This! But I’m biased since I have Kelce scoring the 1st TD as one of my bets.

Did Matt Canada call those plays for KC?

Was the Indiana Jones show bad or is it associated with whiny critics who didn’t like ToD and the least hyped SB ever? A game that lived “up” to its “hype”?
It was really bad, but not Up With People singing Motown bad.

In the glut of pre game show today it was great to see the documentary on the original NFL today on CBS. Very good stuff especially for someone who remembers the great days as a kid. some of the highlights:
1. The story about Jimmy the Greek getting so pissed about not getting enough attention over Phyllis George that he drunkenly punched Brent Musberger and pulling a broken beer bottle on him. And how they used it for jokes all year
2. Bringing in Jayne Kennedy talking about her time. Really didn't go in detail on why she was fired but you can see it was kind of dirty
Something tells me when we get to hour 4 of pre game we are going to wish this was a 2 hour documentary.
Yeah, that was really good. The entire Super Bowl XIV pregame show is on YouTube and I watched it a few weeks ago, I remember thinking the Kennedy flying around in a helicopter while George was doing an interview segment was weird.
I also watched a bunch of old halftime shows and wow they were bad, totally forgot about the Indiana Jones, Patti LaBelle, Tony Bennett one.

Mojo Nixon has passed, looks like he had a heart attack after performing on an Outlaw Country Cruise.

Had a thought: What’s the most wholesome R-rated movie? Sweet, breezy, and not especially filthy, but a hard R nonetheless.
I’m thinking My Cousin Vinny or Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.
Those two are at the top of the list, you take just the use of the f-word out and they're basically PG.
Does anyone remember Mystery, Alaska? When it first came out I thought it was some wholesome family friendly movie, then I watched it a few years later on HBO, besides being pretty bad there's a crazy amount of swearing, it was like they were going after the Goodfellas record.-

I am alternating (unintentionally) watching Mid South on Youtube and Peacock. Iceman King Parsons coming out to "We Are Family" is throwing me for a loop. That's quite a choice.
He must have been a big fan of the 1979 World Series Champion Pittsburgh Pirates!

Wasn't there a Raw in the Stone Cold era where the whole show, it was this race to see if he'd make it to the arena before the end of the show? Am I making that up?
Anyway, they need cameras on Swift leaving Japan to see if she can make it to Vegas before the end of the game.
CBS is going to go all out with Swift's travels from Tokyo to Las Vegas, I bet they'll have Phil Keoghan from The Amazing Race host the segments during the pre-game show.

I’m glad he’s probably got another twenty years left in him to be put through the wringer by the feds. I do wonder if he’s too proud to do the standard Weinstein feeble old man transformation for courtroom appearances.
He'll totally be like the old gangsters at the end of Casino, in a wheelchair wearing an oxygen mask.

I'm kind of surprised they were going to let him bet $15k, since even that would be super suspicious. The only people in Ohio betting five figures on regular season SEC college baseball games have insider info, or have a severe gambling addiction and should have their bets turned away.

I always thought that was a NWA/WCW thing, I remember Solie, Schiavone, and Ross brining it up once a year or so. I think it was first pin break up was a warning and the second a DQ, I don’t think it was ever enforced though.
