But is classified officially as Kansas City Missouri; something one would think that the President of the country should probably know.

yep, should know it's a popular quiz question

    That was a TD ... correct decision.  The new interpretation allows for the onfield decision to stand if it's a line-ball call.

    Again, another correct decision

    Kittles pushed off twice and that is Offensive pass interference every day of the week.  He might have been able to catch the ball without pushing off so in effect,  he cost his side dearly.  Did he even need to do it considering his skill set? 

    KC won fair & square and the refs had zero influence on the result.  The 49ers had every chance and couldn't nail down the win.

    Agree with both decisions, but either could have been called the other way.

     I thought the officiating was first class.

    The half time entertainment was woeful. While the singers may be  very good their choice of songs and the over production using dancers left a lot to be desired.

    Shakira-Shakira - Hips don't lie!

    It's half-time show, not a concert.  I'm not a fan of either artist but "that's entertainment!".

    I feel sorry for you if you couldn't enjoy that.  You probably hated Katy Perry and left shark too?

    The hold on Bosa that was not called on the 44 yard throw to Tyreek Hill when it was 3rd and 15 was poor officiating. Was massive in the context of the game too.

    No holds paid all game which is quite astounding. Seems they were only paying what was blindingly obvious - makes the OPI against Little before the half difficult to explain. Once they threw the flag they had to uphold it but could have easily been a no call. Was almost identical to the one not paid against Thielen when he caught the game winning TD against the Saints in OT a couple of weeks back.

    American football is a terrible sport to watch.   Goes for three hours with only eleven minutes of actual play

    makes you wonder why each side needs 2 teams and they only play 16 games a season

    closer to four teams.... 11 on the field at any one time with 46 players activated per game.

    Have never liked the sideline clutter of players and officials. If you add in all the chain men,TV cameras etc you have got over a hundred people on the side lines.

    Haven't really got a team but I do love the series "Americas Game".
    They follow the Superbowl winning team thoughout their winning season and interview players and coaches etc.

    Anyway, I've watched them all and this one is easily my favourite.
    1981 San Fransico 49rs.
    Apparently they were truely terrible a couple years previous and turned it around with a new coach and some astute drafting .... Including Joe Montana and Ronnie Lott.
    A great watch for anyone interested and would love to see us replicate the feat.

     

     

    And if you want another entertaining one .......

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
