Patriots fans complaining about refs benefiting the Chiefs in a Championship game is major cognitive dissonance. They only beat us because of an obvious incorrect call against Jones and benefited greatly against the Jaguars. [Reply]

It doesn’t make sense to me. The nba exploited the hell out of mj in Chicago and then lebron in Cleveland. They made sure to market the hell out of Steph in the Bay Area. The nfl had no issue marketing the hell out of Peyton in Indy.
Other than Brady, think Peyton ever got an ounce of the disrespect mahomes got? It took years of not winning a ring and losing Brady to get there. I get that there mahomes gets plenty of love. But the nfl seems very reluctant to make him MJ even though he might be the most marketable nfl player in history. And that’s just puzzling. He’s the perfect nfl player. No player in history has been more fun to watch, he’s charismatic and cool (including being a pro on social media), yet polished enough to be a role model.
It just feels like to me the nfl resents that he plays in Kansas City. The nba resented lebron playing in Cleveland too but that didn’t stop them from doing everything they could to make him the undisputed face of their league. [Reply]

I dare anyone to watch the first Around the Horn segment. So much stupidity including the tired “you can’t make that call at the end of the game.” [Reply]
