Even IF it started organically, it's deffo being signal boosted by publicists and managers now, in the name of profit.

It's this. It's not like it's a crazy idea that two famous people could be dating but it's getting all kinds of press because they're crossing into each other's arenas and I imagine there's not previously been a lot of cross pollination between Taylor Swift fans and football nerds.

I unironically think it's good that the NFL will use the opportunity to import fans from a vastly different demographic. There's still too much Dudely McBro Guy nonsense around the game, and swifties have their own sardonic take on things that, combined with the current NFL fanbase, should make for a nicely blended, mellow vintage.

Basically :sickos:

Swift initially turned Kelce down so it's definitely for fakesies but it's still fun so who cares. like honestly what is bad about it

A lot of men think anything that women--especially younger women--enjoy is automatically stupid and frivolous.

Fans of the National Football League failing to see the irony in this is exactly why I'm glad this is happening. Spending hundreds of hours a year watching tushy pushies and arguing about men's forearms is a stupid, pointless, and enjoyable waste of time. Just like any other fun thing that people like.

I get why coaches chicken out on winning the game outright, but it seems like going for the win is an obviously better bet than overtime when we're just talking two-yards at the goal line.

The Eagles could go for two after every touchdown and likely succeed 75% of the time.

Also, what benefit is there for Taylor Swift to set this up? She is already wealthy beyond anything she could ever imagine and is capable of selling out massive stadiums worldwide. She doesn’t need the money or the PR. It doesn’t add up.

Gotta build your brand in this day and age, my man. It loving sucks.

Advertising ruins almost every facet of our lives. It's just about ruined watching NFL for me because there are so many loving commercials. I watch far less than I used to. But marketing and sales pitches seem to be all we do or say.

Speaking of advertising, while I'm not a big fan of the gimmick broadcasting stuff, I gotta admit that the Toy Story thing the NFL did was pretty great and now I want an NFL Toy Story video game because that poo poo blew Madden away and I wanted to play it.

Haha lmao I was curious what AJ Brown did to get that very late taunting call at the end of the 4th and didn't see it here or anywhere so sorry if everyone know this already but I went and looked at the footage and what happened was after the TD catch the Commanders' corner took them both to the ground and while the corner was sitting down disappointed, AJ tossed the football right into the corner's lap as he got up and ran away. Ice fuckin cold disrespect :laugh:

I don't want to disrupt Zapruder above me but I think the only way I can survive is to go in full protest of the Daniel Jones lead Giants. Just full on root for their demise as long as he is on the team. There are lots of problems beyond him but he has the face that can carry all the hate.

If love to know what he’s looking for when he’s holding onto the ball for 3 beats longer then he should.

This dude almost set the rookie TD passing record. It’s like they coached him into playing scared.

So did Mac Jones. He also had 19 fumbles and 12 INTs.

More rookies are going to set the passing record because its a pass heavy league.

he cannot process anything at speed and so many of these pressures are his fault, if he threw the ball faster it would mitigate the drat rush but he's a loving dope

If what AJ did was worth a taunting flag, the DB should have also been flagged for a late hit on the tackle
