off tha dome (Super Bowl edition)...

To say that the Super Bowl was boring… Is an understatement

Was it the worst Super Bowl ever? No. But, it was probably the least entertaining that I’ve seen

I am a diehard football fan. And it was a boring game to me. I can only imagine what it was like for the casual fan.

I think my city did a great job of hosting the Super Bowl. I speak for all of the city when I say thanks for coming and have a safe trip home. You can’t stay here… We are full!

Tom Brady is one of the greatest quarterback to ever play in the NFL. There is no denying that. Is he the greatest quarterback ever? No. Is he the greatest football player ever? No. Please don’t let social media and ESPN fool you

The Super Bowl was so bad that it drew the worst TV rankings for Super Bowls over the past 5 years

That said… It will still be the most watched TV program this year. So, even when the NFL loses, they win

I’ll keep it a bean...the Saints would have provided a much more entertaining game. With they have beaten New England? I don’t know. But it would have been a better game. I feel pretty confident in saying that.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said that he was out coached by Bill Belichick. Duhhhhhhhhhh

Saints fans should be mad. I get it. But at SOME point, you’ve gotta move on.

Belichick ran a clinic in that Super Bowl

Allow me to let you in on a little secret… Todd Gurley was hurt. He’s been hurt since they beat the Cowboys. I’m not sure why the Rams were acting like he wasn’t hurt...he was

Other than the threat of snow on Tuesday, the weather in Atlanta for Super Bowl week was pretty good. It was 63° on Super Bowl Sunday. They even opened the roof of Mercedes-Benz Stadium during the national anthem so that people could see the jets fly over the stadium.

People are still boycotting the Super Bowl for Colin Kaepernick? I didn’t know that. I'm curious...how many DIEHARD football fans do you know that are boycotting the NFL? I mean the diehard fans who are financially invested in a team. Do you know of any? I don't. Maybe it's just me but everybody who I know that has boycotted the NFL appears to be a casual fan. 

I don’t begrudge anyone who decides to not watch The NFL because of how they have blackballed Kaep. That is their choice. I guess they won’t ever watch football again because he’s never playing in the NFL again. And he knows that.

That said… He will win his collusion case against the NFL.

Question...did Kaep ever say "Don't watch the NFL?" I don't know if he did or he didn't. He really hasn't said much. Maybe...just maybe...folks on social media decided not to watch the NFL and Kaep still watches it.

My boy, Ken, pointed this out to us in our Dead End Sports group text...

As usual...Ken is on to something...

Brady (age 41) and Belichick (age 66) are the oldest quarterback and coach to win a Super Bowl. I’m pretty sure that they will be favored to win it all next year. But the Patriots reign past to end at some point, right

How in the hell do you only score 3 points in the biggest game of your life?

Congrats to the Defensive Rookie of the Year… Darius Leonard! I am extremely proud of this young man. Like me, he is a proud alum of South Carolina State University

Also, congrats to the newest members of the Pro football Hall of Fame

Julian Edelman is not a Hall of Fame wide receiver! Isaac Bruce, who should’ve been in the Hall of Fame years ago, is still waiting to get in. Edelman couldn’t hold Bruce’s jockstrap…

Speaking of the Hall of Fame...my uncle, Harry Carson, is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. When he played with the New York Giants, his defensive co-ordinator was Bill Belichick. A few years ago, I asked him what makes Belichick so special as a coach. He said... "With Bill, you were always prepared. He pays attention to every detail. We were so prepared from practice and film study that when you got in the game, there was nothing that you wouldn't see that he hadn't prepared you for." After 6 Super Bowl rings with the Patriots, I can believe that.

He also said that Bill was very funny.

Now THAT I find hard to believe!!!!

It had to be dope to be in Mercedes Benz Stadium and pay less than five dollars for a hot dog soda and some chips.

Holding someone’s jockstrap is a figure of speech… I don’t mean that literally. LOL

It couldn’t have been dope to pay $3000 for a seat in the nosebleed section and watch your team score 3 points.

I think the commentary from Tony Romo kept people awake

I saw pieces of the halftime show. I’m not sure what it was that I was looking at. It wasn’t that good

That was another thing… People were mad at Big Boi for performing at the Super Bowl in his hometown. I wasn’t mad at him. But that was an underwhelming performance.

I don’t really pay attention to commercials during the Super Bowl. But this is the only one that I really liked that I can actually remember seeing. This was pretty dope...

Speaking of halftime shows, the best performances that I’ve seen were prince and Beyoncé. Unfortunately, neither of them will ever perform at another Super Bowl

For as great as Tom Brady is, that performance in the Super Bowl was pretty awful.

Hey Jared Goff... you stunk too. You were worse than Brady

The Rams were one of the highest scoring teams in the NFL this season. And yet they only scored three more points then me and you

With 16 combined points, The Rams and the patriots set a Super Bowl record for the fewest points scored

The patriots are losing their linebackers coach, Brian Florez, who will become the new head coach of the Miami Dolphins #probrutha

I think it’s pretty cool when they drop the top on the Benz. I went to a few games this year for the Falcons. When the top is open, it looks pretty dope

There was talk about the roof being opened for the entire game. I don’t know if that can happen when you are having the Super Bowl in February in Atlanta. is it possible going forward? Maybe. It will be 76° tomorrow. Go figure!

Josh Gordon, even while being suspended by the NFL for substance abuse, will get a Super Bowl ring from the New England Patriots

Pepsi is the official sponsor for the NFL so it was funny to see their billboards all around the city because Atlanta is the home of Coca-Cola

If I told you before the game that New England would only score 13 points, you would think that they would lose the game. The Rams defense was stellar! Their offense didn’t help them out at all

It’s an old saying… But it’s true… Defense wins championships

And just like that… The season is over. My girlfriend is gone until July what are we gonna do now???

off tha dome

random thoughts...

I am tempted to go the house that is around the corner from me and say..."Hey man...it's January. You can turn your Christmas lights off and take them down."

the football season is almost over. i'm not happy about that

government shutdown, huh? this makes NO sense.

i'm down for free apps on my iPhone. if it's free, then it's for me

I think my feet have finally recovered from the walking that I did at Disney World during Christmas

I don't give free apps a long leash. if I don't vibe to the app quickly, i'll delete it

nah, i'm not watching the Grammy's

i'm DEFINITELY not watching the Super Bowl halftime show with Justin Timberlake

my kids were out of school on last Monday. then they went to school on Tuesday. and then they were out for the next 3 days from this...3 inches of snow and ice (my backyard)

kim and kayne named their new baby...Chicago. Chicago West. i'm pretty sure that kid will be mad as hell 13 years from now

remember when your momma told you as a kid "Put a hat on when you go outside. You don't wanna catch a cold." has this theory ever been proven?

shoutout to this spot that was within walking distance when I was a student at South Carolina State University called Mr Wings. you could get 10 wings for $2.50. ahhhh...the good ole days

PSA...if your pipes are frozen, don't be like the dude on the news who decided to use a blowtorch to "warm" up his pipes and burned his house down. smh

when you were in your chemistry class in high school...how far away did you sit from the smartest kid in your class?

it's annoying to listen to a podcast and people just get on and start talking without introducing themselves to the listener

the Minnesota Miracle was unreal. in all of the years that I've watched football...I've never seen a playoff game end like this

for the record...all Marcus Williams had to do was to tackle Diggs inbounds. if he does...game over

is there any food that tastes worse than liver? ewwwwww

is it just me or do the Golden State Warriors look like they could sweep a 7 game series against the Cavs

Jan 20th, 2017...the inauguration...

Jan 20th, 2018...government shutdown. you do the math

is it just me or does it feel like this administration has been in office for 5 years???

I think I need to learn how to play Smooth by D'Angelo on the piano. that song...and that album...are sooooooooo cold

new year...new me? yeah, right! some folks are still doing the same dumb crap that they did last year

i'm from the "go-together era". the era when you asked a girl (either face to face) or via a letter..."if she would go with you"

the concept of writing a letter may seem strange to some of you because you just know how to send text messages

the chewing gum that costs $.05 loses its flavor after 3 bites

for the record, when I asked a girl to "go with me" they always said yes. lol

do malls have arcades anymore?

Minneapolis will be...as the kids say...LIT for the Super Bowl. lol. I worked/lived there in 2010. it's a beautiful city. it's just frigid. shoutout to The Loop & Electric Fetus...I hung out there a lot

back to Kim & Kanye. their children's names are North West, Saint West, and now Chicago West. let's hope they are done having kids

kissing is underrated

that bottom lip...Erykah Badu sang about it. you've gotta kiss it...especially if they can kiss

Mo'Nique Conan O'Brien, and George Lopez are all incredibly NOT funny to me

do you think Michael Jackson and Prince are playing together in heaven? I do

it was 5 degrees on last Wednesday here in Atlanta. by Saturday...it was 69 degrees. go figure

I've learned not to complain about the weather here. it's gonna change anyway

with football season ending soon, it'll give me time to catch up on some tv shows

I've never seen Game of Thrones nor The Walking Dead...nor do i plan to see them

looking forward to checking out Black Panther

twas the night before the game

As we move closer to the Super Bowl...I wanna let you in on a little secret...there is no such thing as getting rest the night before the game.

It is a misnomer.

Trust me.

The night before the game is the night where you get the LEAST amount of sleep. When you are about to play in the biggest game of your life...in front of the world...the mere thought of it keeps you up for most of the night. I've never played in a Super Bowl. Neither have you. One can only imagine what it must be like in the hours leading up to the game. As many of you know, I played football when I was in college. I played at South Carolina State University. When I played, I could barely sleep the night before the game. Neither could most of my teammates. It would be routine to find my teammates up until 3 or 4 am. Some would be playing a game of cards. Some would be up watching tv. Some would be studying. Some would be mentally preparing for the game. Very few would be asleep. Too much anxiety. There is a lot of preparation that leads up to the 3 hours that you spend on the field. As you prepare, sometimes you forget to do the little things...like get some rest. I remember times where my roommate Russell and I would stay up talking about the game for hours...before we even played it.


We only played on the college level. It's magnified even more when you're talking about the NFL. The players who will participate in the Super Bowl will probably get very little sleep tonight. They've worked hard all year to get to this point. You can't view the game as "just another game" because it's not. It's the only game. I've only attended one Super Bowl in my life. It was Super Bowl XXI...the Denver Broncos vs the New York Giants. My uncle, Harry Carson, was the starting middle linebacker for the Giants. He told me that he barely slept the night before that game. He said that just before kickoff, he found himself unable to breathe and hyperventilating. I understood. I had the same thing happen to me a few times when I played at South Carolina State. There was one time where I nearly fainted after the 1st play of the game. It was the emotion...adrenaline...anxiety of playing in a game. I'm sure that it's 10 times more extreme when you're playing in a Super Bowl. My uncle also told me that he had several teammates throw up just before they went on the field. One teammmate, quarterback Phil Simms, only had an hour of sleep. Simms went on to lead the Giants to victory that day and was named the Super Bowl MVP.

As you watch the game tomorrow, don't be suprised if you see guys getting oxygen before the game starts. Don't be surprised if you see some guys sitting on the bench and they are yawning. There is a lot of pressure and anxiety that is built up. And the one thing that we all need...will be the thing that the players won't get tonight...a good nights sleep.

tha big game

The biggest day in sports is nearly upon us. The Super Bowl is the most watched sporting event almost every year. This is the ultimate game.When the Super Bowl happens, there are lots of Super Bowl parties. Most of us will attend a Super Bowl party.

There are some DO's and DON'Ts when it comes to the Super Bowl

DO- know who's playing in the game. You'd be surprised how many people (women...lol) don't know who's playing

DO- know SOMETHING about the teams that are playing.

DON'T- show up to a Super Bowl party with a New York Jets jersey on. There's nothing more irritating than seeing a dude with a jersey on and his team is NOT playing.

DO- know what to wear (women). Come to the party dressed for the occasion. Leave the flip flops at home

DO- (women) know that there may be other women who are at the party who look better than you. Understand that when you walk in the room...you aren't the center of attention...the game is.

DON'T- bet on this game

DON'T- argue with people at the party. Fights at a Super Bowl party CAN happen. LOL

DO- (men) know if the woman who you want to approach is alone or with someone. Fights at a Super Bowl party CAN happen. LOL

DON'T- drink too much

DO- have a designated driver

DO- talk trash

DON'T- talk too much trash

DON'T- show up to the Super Bowl party with a Cardinals jersey. You're not a fan of the Cardinals.

DON'T- yell "Homerun" when a touchdown is scored. Please know what sport that you're watching.

DON'T- talk too much during the game (women....drunk men). Talking too much will piss somebody off. And you'll probably miss something

DON'T- worry about watching the famous Super Bowl commercials. If you wanna watch the commercials...stay at home.

DO- be safe as you go home. There are just as many drunks on the road after the Super Bowl as there are drunks on New Years Eve.

If you don't know...now you know!!!

So...who's gonna win? Arizona or Pittsburgh
