  1. After the Buffalo Bills' overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Divisional Playoff two years ago, the NFL decided to (again) change the overtime rules, but for playoff games only. The new rules for overtime in playoff games now allows both teams to possess the ball, even after the period's very first possession ends with a touchdown. The Super Bowl ended the NFL's 50th season where overtime was a regular thing. From the league's inaugural year in 1920, until the end of the 1973 season, games had no overtime period. Only the postseason games had overtime, but that changed in the 1974 season, as overtime officially became part of all NFL games. Originally, overtime was sudden death, meaning that the first score of any kind won the game. This resulted in a lot of OT periods seeing one possession result in a field goal, and that would end it. Despite fans being disappointed that a one-possession field goal would end overtime, it took the NFL until the 2009 NFC Championship Game for them to finally change the rules. In that game between the New Orleans Saints and the Minnesota Vikings, the Saints won the toss, got into field goal range, and kicked the field goal that sent them to Super Bowl XLIV, which the Saints would go on to win. The change that the league made went as follows: coin toss decides possession. If the first possession results in a touchdown, the game's over. If the first possession results in a field goal, then the other team will have a chance to either tie it with a field goal, or win it with a touchdown. If the first possession sees no scoring, then sudden death rules apply. Sudden death rules also apply if both teams get field goals in overtime. These rules were instilled into playoff games in 2010, and regular season games two years later in 2012. This format currently remains in regular season games, while the current aforementioned format for playoff games was instilled in 2022. Super Bowl LVIII marked the first game under this format, which guarantees that both teams will get the ball. As we saw, the 49ers had the ball first, but only got a field goal. Even if they had scored a touchdown, overtime would continue under this modified format, though the Chiefs would have needed a touchdown of their own to tie it up. As we saw, overtime lasted 14:57, as after SF's field goal, the Chiefs marched down the field and won it with a touchdown with three seconds left. This first time seeing the new overtime in action was quite epic! It has this football fan wondering if we will see these overtime rules in regular season games as soon as next season. I hope we do see them in regular season games, and I hope we don't have to wait too long. Overtimes like this would definitely bring some good drama to all games played in the NFL season.
  2. Greatest Super Bowl ever! This was an absolute classic! I loved everything about this game, and I really enjoyed the entertainment as well!
  3. I loved that. I loved that tribute to the late, great Carl Weathers.
  4. In an absolutely thrilling, stupendous, and spectacular Super Bowl, the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers, 25-22, in overtime, to repeat as Super Bowl Champions. The Chiefs became the first team to win back-to-back Super Bowls since the New England Patriots won Super Bowls 38 and 39 nearly 20 years ago. Overall, this is KC's 4th Super Bowl Championship, and their third in five years. This was an absolutely awesome game, and I enjoyed it so much!

  5. Some days ago, a mutual friend of myself and Caseyn77215 was concerned after seeing a post about the dune buggy, seeing that Miley posted it, because moderators are looking for reasons to target her. My friend checked, and the post was still there, which surprised me, because the mods have a habit of deleting Miley's posts. I noticed who liked it, and one of them was Roxana Sanchez, the woman who was racially profiled by Autumn Leigh Martin. I remembered it because Miley and I had done numerous videos about how she had been racially profiled, but her name wasn't mentioned. So my friend looked at her profile, and I was bugging him to show me what he had seen, because I was concerned for her--mainly because of how Autumn had targeted Miley lately, and I was hoping the same wouldn't happen to Roxana because she liked Miley's post. So I had my friend send me the screenshots of the post so I could see who responded, and when I received them, it was upsetting to me, because of what I saw. It looked like that Roxana is deflecting and trying to play victim, when she had no reason to. And it was strange that after Roxana's post went up, Miley's post disappeared. I recognized the name of someone who responded: Susan K. The link to Roxana's post: https://imgur.com/lJ08KRf The link to Susan K's response: https://imgur.com/MDwtY1G Susan K has a history of harassing Miley, because Susan K is one of the NextDoor mods who is an Autumn Martin a**-kisser. Susan K had been targeting Miley because she stood up against Autumn's bullsh*t and racism. Yet lo and behold, Susan K's responding in kind to Autumn's victim, Roxana Sanchez. Here's a link to a link that shows evidence of Susan K's harassment: https://imgur.com/ETN18Ej I had a feeling that someone named Chris F had responded, and I was right, and Chris F's message to Miley was an attempt to be intimidating and condescending while responding to her. Here's the link to Chris F's reply to Roxana: https://imgur.com/s4BtEey And here's Chris F's message to Miley: https://imgur.com/kzxuRml I'm very appalled by Roxana, especially considering what's happened to not only Miley, but myself as a result of how we stood up for her. We've been harassed, targeted, and slandered in response to us standing up for Roxana against Autumn's racist bullsh*t. However, I would still stand up for Roxana if she was being racially targeted again, because I was raised to stand up against any and all wrongdoings. Here's my video detailing everything:
  6. Disney Greenlights a Fourth Zombies Movie — Who’s Set to Return? This is surprising news, because I thought the third film would be the conclusion. Even so, I am looking forward to this fourth film!
  7. Goosebumps Renewed for Season 2 at Disney+ With a New Story and Cast So happy about this!!! We should see Season 2 in October per usual, but I'm willing to wait for what should be an amazing season! I really hope they give us "The Werewolf of Fever Swamp" with an evil female werewolf this time.
  8. I'm very excited for this! I really enjoyed binge-watching the first five seasons last fall--it helped me while I was under the weather.
  9. I'm glad you saw it coming, because I'm still shocked.
  10. Taylor Swift is bringing some much needed positive buzz to the NFL.
  11. https://deadline.com/2024/02/amazon-prime-video-nfl-playoff-game-peacock-1235820820/ I actually predicted this would happen. Amazon Prime just finished their second year of airing Thursday Night Football games, which also included the NFL's first ever Black Friday game, and I figured it was a matter of time before they would have broadcast rights to a playoff game, just like Peacock did this year. So next season will be their first foray into the playoffs; the 2025 playoff game will represent the 2024 season, so it will be next season for Prime's first playoff telecast. It's amazing how sports telecasts have evolved in the last few years, with the streaming sites being heavily involved, such as ESPN+, Hulu, Max, Peacock, and the aforementioned Amazon Prime. I do love this, and I hope it succeeds like Peacock's Wild Card telecast did this year.
  12. They were also at the NFL Awards last night in Vegas! Very epic!
  13. https://wpde.com/news/nation-world/parents-of-young-chiefs-fan-in-headdress-sue-sports-blog-for-painting-family-as-bigots-kansas-city-football-nfl-raul-shannon-armenta-deadspin I heard about this. Racist punk kid dresses in black face and red paint, which disrespects both Black people and Native Americans, yet the parents think it's A-OK. This was a few months ago, and after they were rightfully called out for this, the bigots are suing. OMG. Bigots filing frivolous lawsuits seems to be a trend lately. Honestly, this is the same as the parents of that school shooter being put to trial. In that case, the parents got the gun for that kid, so they're responsible. Same applies here. That kid is a racist, plan and simple. It's clear that his parents enable and condone this bullsh*t, too; the fact that they're resorting to suing shows that they think that racism is OK. I'll bet $$$ that they're among the group of insensitive a**h**es who hated that Washington's NFL team changed their name. I hope Deadspin countersues and takes them for everything. They have to learn that racist acts and displays like that are not OK. Instead of taking the time to defend bigotry and basically get paid for it, how about taking some time to, oh IDK, teach your kid right from wrong?
