Memories From Sport Fans 🏈🏀 ⚽️

in General Discussion

Super Bowl 56 is coming on February 13th and thought it would be fun to share a memory from a Super Bowl, London Marathon or heck even Volleyball.

My last super bowl game was Super Bowl 51.

Falcons vs Patriots was incredible,primarily due to my friends reactions.

Anytime Falcon score,friends drinking some whiskey, and since I didn't drink,I just drank coke. Anytime Patriots score,one person would cheer,since rest of the room was team Falcons.Once Patriots win,my friends were extremely enrage. To the point that two were fighting over the finish. Both started arguing,quite honestly,I thought a fist fight was going to go down. If my memory serve me correctly,apparently,Tom Brady cheated to win. No clue how since its football, not Fake Pro Wrestling, can any football fans clue me in how one would cheat in a football game? In any case,thankfully fist fight never happen,while I won't watch Super Bowl 56 on February 13th,it was a cool time to be alive.

Bonus points: My high school friend was very upset his team lost,I was screaming my team won,and his head went down on desk.If your shaking your head at me,there's nothing wrong in representing a winning team.

So Covers.....

Any sports memories that you cherish?

I remember one Super Bowl staying up crazy late / early to try and get into it. I think I lasted about 20 minutes and couldn‘t understand for the life of me what was going on and just gave up! Having stayed up soooo many hours to watch 20 minutes 😂😂😂

It was like Rugby, but with more rules, and more armour!

That's funny because I feel the same way about football. It is like watching the mix of tennis and ice hockey, praying that the only ball that remains visible is the yellow-green and not the ones underneath those short-shorts.

I never understood rules of football.

Use to go to super bowl for a social gathering and great times.

I'm not a huge sports fan. I used to play baseball in my formative years, but since haven't been nearly as active about it. I used to watch the NFL a lot too, but again, not as interested anymore unless I have others to watch the games with. I enjoy it for the social aspect mostly.

That being said, I think the answer to your cheating question Bendy is the fallout of the deflated ball scandal that happened. To this day people still place blame on Brady for it, but if I'm being honest, none of it was his fault. I mean there are ball boys for a reason. So if they are going to blame anyone, blame it on the referees and the ball boys. Brady had much more important concerns during those games than worrying about a football being the right PSI.

Here's an article on it, if you want to do a bit of light reading:

What really happened during Deflategate? Five years later, the NFL's 'scandal' aged poorly

@Ken Merchant Interesting read.

To your point,why on earth would Tom Brady make the balls soft?????

He has way more important things to achieve than most give him credit.

Apparently,Patriots are known to cheat.

Don't know what to make of it.

I think its cool you use to play Baseball.

You could of been the next Ken Griffey Sr. of your generation.

I'm not sure this is a good idea for me, like religion & politics sport can polarise, and can cross these boundaries. So I'll opt out of this thread. Soz Bendy

@Rob Edwards All good,friend.

I had no idea how polarizing sports can be,a misfire on my part and

just thinking of other ways to connect outside of poetry.

Thank you for your feedback and

hopefully you'll find my next weeks thread alittle more,inviting.

@Bendy Nguyen your threads are very inviting and I have lots of great sporting memories, but also lots of experience of misunderstandings in sporting rivalry. Hopefully your thread will be a great bonding experience but I won't be taking part.

I went to Old Trafford to see my team Manchester United play. They put out the second team, and I was high up. It all went so quickly.

I did security for Wembley Stadium for a little while.. that was always....... interesting.

@Bendy Nguyen they’re not my local team. But as a kid I was told to be cool you had to be a United supporter and have always said I supported them since. I never really got into football until after Sir Alex Ferguson left, and it makes me laugh if ever I’m called a glory hunter because… well they make it very difficult to say a good word about them these days 😂 The club is backwards from owners to players.

But, the reds go marching on haha

@Adam Gary Its awesome you know who's playing a game.

Remember when a friend and I got into a conversation about Fifa soccer and I remember my friend chose Argentina,because of Messi.

And I chose another team.

I think it was Portugal however,

my friend was sharing facts about why Argentina would win the soccer game.

ANNNNNNNNDDDDDDD...

Turns out,they lost the game lolol.
