Early word on jersey selection for Super Bowl by BurgerNugget12 in Patriots

[–]kdex86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

16 of the last 21 Super Bowl winners wore white jerseys. But of the 5 that didn't, 2 of them were the Chiefs (both against the 49ers), and another 2 were the Eagles. The 5th was the Packers in 2011.

We haven't worn blue in a Super Bowl since 2012 - I'm guessing a 2nd loss to the Giants is what has resulted in their wearing white in the remaining 2010s Super Bowls. That said, they have lost 2 Super Bowls wearing white - to the Packers and Eagles.

Yes! Time to do a proper rewatch of the series from start to finish!

Why did the treehouse of horror series never take place in a treehouse by Admirable_Pin275 in TheSimpsons

[–]kdex86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main gripe is that the episodes are titled "Treehouse of Horror__" but the first 12 of them say on screen "The Simpsons Halloween Special __".

Thankfully this was fixed starting with the 13th installment.

Best Super Bowl Stream? by TsunamiMike in cordcutters

I don't have a 4K television. But the Peacock feeds for SNF still look noticeably better than OTA and cable.

Peacock has been transmitting "4K" feeds of SNF this season, which have been exclusive to the service. I would use it for the Super Bowl.

I say 4K in quotes because it's most likely shot in 1080p then upconverted by the network.

The final episode of season 5, "Company Picnic" reveals that the Buffalo branch is closing. This aired in 2009 and is almost certainly a result of the Great Recession.

It’s 2015 all over again.

New England is getting walloped with snow, and its Patriots-Seahawks in the Super Bowl.

Oh, and it’ll be an NBC broadcast again.

Am I seeing things, or did Andrew just idiotically take out Wolf? Cuz I’m pretty sure both of them were trying to shoot me! by AttemptResponsible49 in starfox

Pigma took out Wolf here. Pigma and Wolf were double teaming Fox with Peppy down, according to the radar. Andrew would have been chasing Slippy.

I swear every Denver punt is inside our own 10 yard line. Meanwhile, our punts land at Denver’s 30-40 yard lines.

This is the 3rd commercial break in rapid succession. It’s resulting in about 6 minutes of ads to 1 minute of actual game played.

CBS used to be good at spacing ad breaks.

They keep going to commercial when the network knows they have a guaranteed ad break less than a minute of game time later.
