Is It Over Now? Chiefs/Niners SB Thread

I like San Francisco but I just don't see that defense stopping Mahomes. They have been ragged in the playoffs thus far.
No. It’s terrible. It’s all sex and drugs and even I thought it was atrocious.
And the whole thing is only 5 episodes, so that’s how bad it was.
It’s a hamburger someone dropped outside a WeHo In n Out, ran over with a Bentley and then urinated on.

Apex Marketing Group figures Swift has been worth $300 million to the nfl.

Bruno Mars, Beyonce and Timberlake predate Jay-Z. Since he took over it's been J-Lo and Shakira; The Weeknd; Dr. Dre et al; then Rihanna last year. I am really surprised with the popularity of country now that there hasn't been any country act if not featured then at least cameoing.
The Weeknd's show was awful but he was really hot that year so offering him that spot made sense, but I can't remember the last time Usher was relevant.
it has not stopped KC because of kelce and reid and they have 1 of the best dc of all time

FWIW, I thought the exhibit at the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame (yeah, i know) on the production of the Super Bowl halftime show and what goes on behind the scenes was pretty cool.
What’s really important is that the NFL finally got an in-game DJ for its boring game ( about 13 minutes of action in 3 hours and usually dominated by the best QB ).
Furthermore, it’s Tiesto! I hope they feature him during the 30-second long breaks in between 5-8 second plays.
Clearly they’re saving the best for the least interesting parts — namely the vast majority of the game.

(FINALLY SOMETHING I TRULY AM AN EXPERT ON AND NOT JUST TALKING HALFWAY OUT OF MY ASS)
You joke, but Tiesto is arguably the biggest DJ in the world (Taylor Swift's ex-boyfriend, Calvin Harris is the only true competitor, though Armand Van Buuren, Diplo, and David Guetta are all up there). He's been a star for like... 25 years? He got paid something like $400,000 for a 2 hour set on Labor Day in Vegas at his residency.
It makes total sense for the first Super Bowl played in Las Vegas to have a huge name "DJing" at the game (note: he's not actually going to be DJing), but almost every stadium has in-game DJs these days (I know a lot of them!).

Time to see how the justice system works for the father of one of the most talented athletes in America works.
3 DUIs should mean jail time. We'll see.
After his 2nd, he served 40 days in jail, but was able to serve it on the weekends.
Prosecutors dropped most of the charges after the accuser decided not to cooperate anymore after months of death threats and harrassment.
Lots of chatter about the practice facilities.
As the "home team" (it alternates) the Chiefs practice at the Raiders facilities, which have indoor/outdoor fields. Meanwhile the 49ers are at UNLV's facilities, which were recently resodded with natural grass and are too soft apparently.
Plus it's raining hard so overall huge advatnage Chiefs.

you’re missing the point though. Just about every good team, unless they’re very lucky to have a guy on a rookie contract, is going to have a huge chunk of cap tied up in the QB position. So it should mostly even out. And in the playoffs, those super expensive QB’s tend to make a difference in the small game sample size that is the road to the Super Bowl
So what exactly is he doing then? Is it all scripted and he just jumps around? Or something else that makes it not DJing?
All the KC players were asked about Taylor Swift yesterday. Lots of people think it’s funny, and I guess it is, but had a real Bothering JLo and Shakira About Kobe vibe at times. Let the fucking players have their moment (even if a lot of them have been there before).
This, though—

Asking Brock Purdy at a main QBs event if he was worried about disappointing Swift was pretty funny, I’ll grant that—of course, but it lets him shine. Overall, NFL seems to have everyone on message that this is all about the Benjamins and there are more to be picked up here even than usual..

Seeing Purdy next to Mahomes gives me even more of a lopsided feeling for this game. Hopefully, we'll have a Mark Rypien vs. Jim Kelly or a Doug Williams vs. John Elway type outcome (not that Purdy is not a legitimate starter vs. a fill-in).
Yes, and for good reason! If something goes wrong, any sort of lights/cryo/whatever wouldn't be in sync with the music.
It's different for normal in-stadium DJs, who are actually playing songs between commercials or pitching changes, etc. But for the Super Bowl? And Tiesto, who's never once DJ'd a football game? Yeah, it'll all be scripted on some level. Too big of a stage to rely on anything else.
Purdy had the highest average per pass in NFL history this year and Purdy has the highest overall QB rating for his first two seasons in the history of the NFL, too.
Purdy isn't a system QB. He's putting up numbers. Will the moment be too big for him? It's possible. The Chiefs' biggest advantage is that their QB has played in the SB 3 times already. He won't get too amped up early and run out of gas in the 2nd half. And that is the Brady and it's a huge advantage.
But I think the Niners win this one. Everyone now is just saying, "You can't pick against Mahomes, you just can't," after picking against him 2 straight weeks. I'm zagging.
Dave Dameshek used to have a bit when he worked for Jimmy Kimmel Live where he would ask all of the players "Is this a must win game?". I think most of the questions during these Super Bowl press conferences are so stupid or out there that the players don't really mind it
As far as system QB, does any team have the offensive skill set players around him like Purdy does? So, what would his passing numbers be on an average offense team? One thing I’ve noticed in recent games is that Purdy seems to have a lot more confidence in his ability to scramble effectively. So, if there is nothing there, he’s saying fuck it, takes off and makes really good gains. In any case, I hope you’re right and the 49ers take a first quarter lead and never look back.
Yeah, you don't have to look deep into that "estimate" to realize it's bullshit.
In other words, anytime someone clicked a digital story about swift or mentioned her on social media after September 24th, they gave an "equivalent dollar figure" for how much social reach it has.
Not looking at additional gate revenue or increased viewership...just, "If it says Swift - regardless of the content - it increases the brand value!"
I dont care about Swift one way or the other, but do people really need to find new ways to kiss her ass? If Kelce cheats on her, will the Chiefs cut him for fear of tanking their brand value?
Just dumb.
I just played this game on whatifsports.com.
Final: SF 33, KC 27 in overtime
Christian McCaffrey was the star, with 18 rushes for 148 yards and a touchdown, and adding 2 receptions for 22 yards.
San Fran had a 14-10 lead at the half, but KC scored two touchdowns in the 3rd and 4th quarters to take a 24-14 lead with 14 minutes left in the game. SF then scored on 3 straight possessions - 2 field goals and a 45-yard McCaffrey TD run - to take a 27-24 lead. But Harrison Butker kicked a 41-yard FG as time expired to send the game into overtime, tied at 27. The teams exchanged a series of punts before Jordan Mason took a handoff 57 yards for a game-winning TD.

Kaskade Replaces Tiësto As First Super Bowl DJ During Game – The Hollywood Reporter
Kaskade Replaces Tiësto As First Super Bowl DJ During Game – The Hollywood Reporter
Not going to the game, but I'm headed to Vegas to meet old friends and take in the spectacle, landing in an hour. O/U on the wait at the airport cab line is 45 minutes.
(ONCE AGAIN I CAN ACTUALLY CHIME IN WITH EXPERT OPINION ON SOMETHING FOR.... TWICE.)
Kaskade is a pretty fantastic DJ and producer. He's also Mormon! And he DJs barefoot regularly if the conditions allow for it!
Anyway, he's one of the twenty most successful DJs in the world and he's a Vegas staple at this point. Personally I prefer Kaskade to Tiesto, but that's no slight on Tiesto.
But yeah, he won't actually be DJing.
Skip it and get an Uber or something. They're lined up on the second or third level (can't remember which) of the parking garage and it's almost always faster.
I have the over. I was there in December - and no Super Bowl then of course - and the ride share area probably had a 50 minute wait.
That said, maybe you get lucky. Its Vegas after all.
Random trivia - Some NFL reporter (sorry didn't get their name) mentioned that no Alabama player has scored in Superbowl. If correct, that's crazy to me, especially given their dominance over the past two decades.
Edit: @CaptainLaddie is right. Kaskade is pretty talented. He won't be performing it like normal of course but I will check out his set
Thanks for the tip man. Surge pricing might be rough but I'll take the hit.
Bad news, it's always surge pricing Vegas, especially on a weekend.
Hey, want a food tip?
One of the best places in Vegas to eat is off-strip -- it's called Izakaya Go, and when I go to Vegas, it's literally the first stop -- even before the hotel or casino. My business partner lives in LV and it's *always* the place to go first. Huge menu, sushi, ramen, etc. They have a late-night happy hour where shit gets real cheap, and the food is spectacular. I've been there... I dunno, 30 times, and I've never had an average meal. It's always extremely good. And because it's off-strip, the wait is less.
Other spots to consider: Other Mama (WAY off strip), Krung Thai, Honey Salt, Herbs & Rye, Lotus of Siam. Honestly so many places in the China/Asiantown area are awesome and just drop in. But Krung Thai, Other Mama, and Izakaya Go are my favorites.
On-strip: Best Friend or Noodles (Park MGM), Carbone (ARIA, though it's probably impossible to get in), anywhere at Wynn/Encore, and if you feel like going a LITTLE offstrip to Durango... just have fun. The whole place is lined with great food, though it's a locals casino.
