I was at a Hideaway Pizza watching this game with my family with this game on the big screen. You would have thought OU had just beaten Georgia with the Stephan Diggs miracle play. My wife had to shush me twice in the aftermath. But it wasn’t just me…it was the whole place. Nobody inside the building seemed to give a shit about the whole Donald Trump-NFL thing. I’ve watched all eight games in the tournament so far and I’m not sure I’ve seen an empty seat in any of the eight stadiums. I’m guessing both conference final games will be standing room only in cold weather Philadelphia and Foxboro next week-end.
You really think the average NFL fan gives a shit about Donald Trump’s faux concern for patriotism? Even in New Confederate stadiums in Jacksonville and New Orleans I didn’t see an empty seat. Not one.
I thought there was all this Trumpism threatening the NFL games?
Yawn.
So…since my adopted team the Atlanta Falcons got beat by the Eagles in a really good defensive battle…I need to adopt another team out of New England, Jacksonville, Minnesota, and Philadelphia. Great tournament so far. Only one yawner so far–that being the New England-Tennessee game.
I’ll adopt Minnesota this week-end. Should be a great defensive battle in Philadelphia. I’ll go Pats in the AFC. But beware of the Jags…Tom Coughlin has put together a nice young ball club.
The reaction in New Orleans.
