So I have Fox on. Big fat CTV logo in the bottom right, all Canadian ads. I know it's pregame... but I'll believe it when I see it

I've never wanted so badly to have them just run 5 hours of bs pregame breakdowns where they make random musings on the important of jersey colour and heartwarming stories.
Every network does that stuff every Super Bowl broadcast.

^^ I think I read that the US ads are only during the game itself, pre and post game ads will still be subbed.

So to get the US adds simply watch fox I'm assuming? These adds seem to be of utmost importance to my wife for some reason.

I'm gonna go with a similar prediction I had for the NFC title game, Atlanta wins 38-27, but it's a close game with a late TD to stretch it.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but the constant handjobbery they are giving Tom Brady in this pregame show is making me sick.

GO FALCONS!

Yeah the Brady stuff is over the top but he really is doing things that no one else has ever done.

I really don't understand the whole golden boy image the media tries to portray of Brady. All the football ethics aside, this guy has also made some pretty poor decisins from a public persona perspective. Leaving your pregnant girlfriend to run to a supermodel
Doesn't usually get swept under the rug like it did for him.

He also plays for a cheating organization. Always be an asterisk for me.

I'm not going to deny Brady is a great QB, but he's not in GOAT territory for me. I think he's a product of an incredibly great system. Whenever he's injured/suspended, whomever is the backup just seems to pick up where he left off. Cassels is the perfect example of that. Lights out in the NE system, gors somewhere else and he's just a regular Joe NFL QB.

Luke Bryan sang a song that sounded different than all his hits. Should
Have been able to bet on that. I would have lost though.
