Yep. Champions League and money have killed it, devalued ever since United forfeited for the club world cup too. I love the fact that the USA don't care its a closed shop and name the winner as 'World Champions', the FA Cup could've done the same as it was watched everywhere, yet I could barely name the past few finals and knew them all in the 80s.Seen everyone since 1987. They do know how to put on a spectacle. FA cup comparison is a sad one. Clubs have devalued it and TV lost interest. Used to be an all day show on the TV when I was a kid. It was a massive day particularly as there was so little other live football on the telly.
What year was that and who's watch?Yep. Champions League and money have killed it, devalued ever since United forfeited for the club world cup too.

Maybe, but I have had hardly and interest in the artists they have on at halftime. Have a band on or artist I would like and I watch it .Just catching up on this thread. I've watched probably 30 superbowls and supported Miami since the mid 80s, I think some of you are genuinely missing out. I'm not a Taylor Swift fan and I didn't know a single Usher song or who was with him, but embrace it all. From the coin toss, the anthem, everything. In fact I'm jealous of what our now diluted FA Cup Final could have been. Love the whole spectacle, nobody does it like the USA and only wish I could afford to go to one.
I think the season after they won the treble so around 2000.What year was that and who's watch?
Nope and I get the comparison with the accompanying 'show', but for me it's not sport.Maybe, but I have had hardly and interest in the artists they have on at halftime. Have a band on or artist I would like and I watch it .
I had heard of Usher, but had no idea of any song he has ever done. Guessed at RnB and did a quick Google and gave it a miss.
Just the fans for me.
Just out of interest, do you like WWF etc?
Probably not, but one day I am sure we will see a mass-shooting at a penalty shootout.Terrible about the shooting at the parade.
But is there anything more American than a mass-shooting at a Superbowl parade?
It's gonna be in a movie one day, Taylor swift and allProbably not, but one day I am sure we will see a mass-shooting at a penalty shootout.
So Broncos release Wilson at a massive cost. Took a disruptive QB off the Seahawk's hands for a load of good draft picks and players. Now going to eat a ton of dead money that willresult in other big earners/good players having to be released/traded. Always looked a bad deal for a QB who was already regressing and a history of disruptive behaviour. PLease Vikings don't take him!!!!!!!
We won't give him a fully guaranteed contract and he's never really "co-operated" in terms of releasing funds against the cap. Always been about the money first. Can't see how they can give a fully guaranteed 3 year contract to a 36 year old who's coming off a serious injury. Plus we have other issues - Jefferson is going to get paid massive (although if we've not got a top QB for next few years that's probably money down the drain), Darrisaw needs paying, Hunter will be expensive if he stays(no passrush atm without him) plus a few others need paying.Personally I'm against paying elite QB money for someone who doesn't have it in them to win big games - been with us 6 seasons & only got to playoffs twice (1-3 record there).Cousins not going to re- sign ?
Not going to cost them much for first year at least (vet minimum 1.2m dollars) as Broncos on the hook for his salary (39m).Wilson to the Raiders I think they are mad enough to take him and probably pay him way above what his ability warrants.

That's mad to think that Case Keenum has the same number of playoff wins in one season as Cousins has in six.Personally I'm against paying elite QB money for someone who doesn't have it in them to win big games - been with us 6 seasons & only got to playoffs twice (1-3 record there).
Think the Falcons would pay him. Apparently 3 others in the mix.Agree, I just can’t see anyone giving cousins that though. Still wouldn’t be surprised if he stays after seeing what market has to offer. Jefferson is going to be expensive !
We had keenum in 2017. Had to step in after Sam Bradford went down early (had been good replacing the injured Teddy Bridgewater). Not a great arm but could extend plays. Had two great receivers -thielen and it was Diggs breakout year (Minneapolis miracle) plus Dalvin Cook rookie year. Didn't have to score many points as we had an outstanding Zimmer defense that season. Got completely outcoached in Championship game against the Eagles.That's mad to think that Case Keenum has the same number of playoff wins in one season as Cousins has in six.
exactly right. I think it's just 2 seasons with over 50% wins, until 2 seasons ago his comeback win record was appalling - think it was just 8 in first 4 seasons (new HC and Jefferson helped have 8 in 2022/23). Vikings's problems are mediocre, unambitious owners whoare satisified with not having losing seasons. Mike Zimmer never wanted him for all the reasons you said.Anybody willing to give Cousins a bumper fully guaranteed contract need their heads testing.
Bloke cannot push a team on to the next level. He'll clog up your cap space and keep you at a reasonable enough level to never have a decent enough pick for a quality rookie QB.
Even as a neutral, the Minneapolis Miracle was one of my favourite moments in the NFL for sheer what the hell just happened thereHad two great receivers -thielen and it was Diggs breakout year (Minneapolis miracle) plus Dalvin Cook rookie year.
Not surprised, the Falcons are mad giving him what he is rumoured to be gettingFree at last!! Money talked and Kwesi didn't fold.

Paid massive money to win weakest division. Bidding against themselves - vikings were offering a max of 2 years. Plenty of young offensive talent at Falcons. But still noone knows how Cousins will come back after a serious industry.Just seen you’re planning on signing Darnold. Might be a decent punt for $10m
Id imagine cousins will do well at falcons if he stays fit. I thought they’d go for fields though

Darnold a bridge QB - will draft one either by moving up or moving down to take someone like Nix or Pennix.
Vikings already spending the Cousins money on some nice defensive players. Come next season they'll have a proper amount of cap space for the first time since Cousins arrived.
2nd highest paid player in NFL history after Rodgers. No-one is franchise -tagging a QB twice again in NFL. (Washington 2016 & 2017)
Never understood why he's been pursued so highly over his career. Was never going to take you to the next level and certainly not when you're spending a huge chunk on him and leaving other parts of the squad light.
He is a top 5 QB in terms of passing abilityNever understood why he's been pursued so highly over his career. Was never going to take you to the next level and certainly not when you're spending a huge chunk on him and leaving other parts of the squad light.
Didn't he once knee it rather than spike it and thus the clock ran out? That should be enough alone to make you want to steer clear.
It hurt me to see Russell Wilson move to Denver, wasn't expecting to quickly see them pay him an obscene amount of money to fuck off. What a turnaround
Broncos had a history of QB disasters. It was a desperate move for a QB Seahawks wanted out anyway. Seahawks got an incredible price for him. Broncos also had to trade/cut some top players to pay him as well.It hurt me to see Russell Wilson move to Denver, wasn't expecting to quickly see them pay him an obscene amount of money to fuck off.
