Reply to James Bradberry: "I pulled on his jersey. They called it. I was hoping they would let it ride." by EatSleepJeep

It's a shame that the narrative was instantly 'oh man the nfl is so rigged phantom call'. The initial broadcast replay was awful and made it look like nothing happened. Mahomes clearly saw the hold and threw in that general direction to call attention to it, thinking he had a free play. Without the hold, the play probably results in a touchdown, bradberry was beat. It sucks to end the game like this, but it was certainly the right call.

Reply to The grass making its debut today at #SBLVII was developed by USGA-funded research, and is the same turf on which you'd play 18! by Bears9Titles

People complaining of slipping. Doesn’t this happen every single time a big game is played on natural grass?

Every single big game, they initial “fresh” grass to have a perfect looking field. However, that turf is far too young to be strong. You end up with divots, wipeouts, and a bunch of BS.

To me, it seems like they need to stop trucking in new turf weeks before a major event.

Reply to comment by BrewtusMaximus1 in [Rapoport] Sources: Raiders QB Derek Carr has informed the team he won’t accept a trade to the Saints or any other team. The team is expected to release him and he’ll be a top free agent. by BCLetsRide69

Which is great for Vegas, but there’s certainly no guaranteeing what he will get on the open market… Carr was financially spoiled while with the raiders …. Reality check incoming
