@td_nash “Better” is a pretty vague word Do you want to know who’s greater in the way Dan Marino & Peyton Manning are seen as great? Or are you asking which of those QBs would more likely lead a flawed team to an improbable victory with a clutch performance in the season’s biggest game?

Far worse — and I had expected a disastrous performance!

@FunFootballPod I’m a Gen X Patriots fan Until the Pats’ renaissance during this millennium made it something to relish, my fandom was a burden to endure Even high points were painfully low before Brady & Belichick brought 2 decades of dynasty to Foxboro Super Bowls XX & XXXI were brutal AF

@RonFilipkowski Someone give that woman a sandwich!

@EdHand89 1 & 2 aren’t incompatible If Breslow signs Bregman AND trades for Arenado (if it’s not Casas going back to STL) after he acquired Crochet & Buehler, his off-season will deserve the kind of grades that got him into Yale And if he rekindles Chaim Bloom’s ardor for Yoshida ….

@THR This could be a Super Bowl’s most noteworthy anthem since Whitney Houston set her unmatchable benchmark Batiste exuded NOLA flavor yet honored tradition while targeting 2 audiences — the multitudes watching in the stands/on TV & the felon in the luxury box reeking of brimstone

@LindseyGrahamSC @votetimscott @realDonaldTrump Did y’all pay for your tickets to the game?

@josh_wingrove Trump IS the Gulf of America He has exacerbated & exploited sociopolitical chaos to such a yooge extent that he now personifies our most pernicious divisions Instead of lamely trying to rename the Gulf, Trump might aptly celebrate his divisive success by dyeing its water orange

@RpsAgainstTrump I see a cabal of Pharisees, Sadducees & other idolators venerating a false god who cloaks himself in their ersatz piety while shitting on the Word of Christ with graft, grifts & attacks on everything good. The stench of brimstone in that room must be overpowering.

@OldSchoolBoston Two-way traffic on Tremont St Wow!

@BarrySchust Vinatieri & Kuechly are head & shoulders above the rest (Don’t give me the “Vinatieri was a kicker, not a football player” BS. When he chased down Herschel Walker, an All-American sprinter, and tackled the bruiser to prevent a TD, Vinatieri established himself as a true baller)

@Austin_Rowland0 John Wooden occupies a stratum of his own Of the mere mortals who’ve coached in the NCAA, the best in the men’s game was Big John Thompson On the women’s side it’s (for now) Geno Auriemma, but Dawn Staley is rapidly gaining on him

@BMeatwhistle @Super70sSports Loscutoff had a number on his uni? 😉

@Super70sSports You gotta love a 🏀 center who’s a mere 6’ 9” (when measured on the generous SID scale) & played against colossi like Kareem, Chamberlain & Walton yet: •was named NBA MVP •won multiple championships •earned enshrinement in Springfield & •was among the NBA’s 75 best ever

@td_nash If history traveled a juster arc, Josh Gibson might be the consensus 🐐but: MLB maintained its wicked “color line” (Crueler yet, that barrier would be broken less than 3 months after a brain tumor killed Gibson at 35) & Negro League film & statistics were preserved haphazardly
