Philadelphia Eagles Wins Super Bowl LII

The Eagles has a TD that should’ve been called back and another that had everyone scratching their heads because no one knows what qualifies as a catch anymore.

There were also a few pass interference calls that could have been made and a cheap hit on Cooks that knocked him out of the game.

To be honest, my comment ( I didn't get to see it) wasn't entirely accurate. For the sake of full disclosure, I didn’t want to chance seeing our National Anthem being abused by “kneelers”, but congratulations are definitely in order for the Philadelphia Eagles on their 41-33 SuperBowl 2018 win Sunday night! It was their biggest win since 1960, although there was no Super Bowl in 1960. The first Super Bowl was played in January, 1967. The NFL champion in the 1960 season was the Philadelphia Eagles who defeated the Green Bay Packers, 17-13, in the championship game played December 26, 1960. Notably, in 1976, a 30-year-old bartender, Vince Papale, who had played only one year of high school football, reluctantly decided to give a try when the new coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, Dick Vermeil, announced that he would hold open tryouts for the team. Papale made it and played 3 years with the Eagles. (There is a decent movie called Invincible that was made in 2006 about this.) After Sunday’s game, it was great to hear so many Christians on the team publicly thanking God. Tight End Zach Ertz said, “Glory to God first and foremost. We wouldn’t be here without Him.” Quarterback and MVP Nick Foles gave glory to God, and Head Coach Doug Pederson said, “I can only give the praise to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for giving me this opportunity...” How exciting to hear in this in the broadcast media! Speaking of Nick Foles, he has even a higher calling than the SuperBowl. Eagles’ quarterback Nick Foles wants to be a high school pastor after football! He said it’s a leap of faith—he’s passionate about helping students find their way and wants to use his experiences to inspire and encourage them. What a blessing it is for Nick’s testimony and his desire to influence young people to come to faith in and walk with Jesus Christ. We may not be playing a championship game today, but the Bible tells us, “…whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”

SSG (Join to see) - I don't think the shot on Cooks was cheap. Cooks has a responsibility to protect himself when he is a runner.

I agree with the pass interference calls, but on the whole they let the game play out. There didn't seem to be any bias in when those calls were or weren't made. I actually don't think there were any called. There was some defensive holding calls where receivers routes were clearly affected.

I also think the Clement TD could have gone another way. Problem was, it was ruled a TD on the field and they needed indisputable evidence to overturn it, which is why the play "stood" and wasn't "confirmed".

The Ertz catch should not have had anyone scratching their head. He caught the ball at the 6 and ran for 4 yards before diving for the endzone. Clearly a runner. Anyone who says otherwise is just sour about the Pats losing.

Clement catch could go either way, but the guy took 3 steps in the end zone with the ball in his possession and survived the ground. Really not that controversial unless you are a Pats fan.

I thought it was officiated fairly well. Seemed like the refs were willing to let the guys play and didn't want to be responsible for changing a game with penalties. Cooks was a runner and Jenkins led with his shoulder, so no penalty there to be thrown. They could easily have called PI on both of PHI 2 point attempts, could have called OPI on more than a few Gronk catches, could probably have called OPI on a couple of Alshon's catches too, but they decided to let the players play; which is always better IMO.

I stayed up for the National Anthem. Was rooting for Pink. She was sucking on a cough drop right up to the opening notes. Came through with class and professionalism. The only part of the Super Bowl I watched ... and I watched it here:

Thank you for the share sir

I didn't know what Pink is. I now see that Pink is a female vocalist and I am an old fossil.

Don't feel bad, I've never heard of her either.
