Former Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen is going to be the head coach in Jacksonville. This is after turning the position down and reportedly accepting a contract from Tampa which would have made him the highest paid coordinator in the league. There was a whole thing about Jacksonville firing GM Trent Baalke and him (Coen) not returning Tampa's phone calls. It was a whole crazy thing.

Pete Carroll to be head coach of the Raiders. Carroll back in a division with Jim Harbaugh. That will be interesting.

So it will be Chiefs vs. Eagles

I am rooting against Kansas City.

My money will be on the Chiefs, but my heart will be with the Eagles.
Not normally a ******** man, but here's when betting a game makes so much sense to me.
In this case, either my team wins, or I'll be "financially compensated" if they lose, i.e., a win-win!

Some final pieces of news before the Super Bowl:

Browns DE Myles Garrett requested a trade this past week. Browns management have said they do not plan to trade Garrett but teams always say that.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel has been granted permission to seek a trade.

Aaron Rodgers has been informed by the Jets that they will be parting ways. Formal announcement in the coming days.

Eagles 40
Chiefs 22

Birds prevent the three-peat.

The game was over at half-time. I think 24-0? KC couldn't move the ball.

FWIW - the "winning" Superbowl ad was the Budweiser one, with the foal "nosing" the lost keg to catch up with the traditional wagon's deliveryman.

Eagles 40
Chiefs 22

Birds prevent the three-peat.

40-6. The last two touchdowns were to keep face. The "Chefs" (we all saw the endzone guy commercial with Andy Reid for Snickers) sucked BIG time.
