No, and I know I won’t see her bare in any other way either. Even if I did, I’m pretty sure I’d rather see that than some drunk in the stands or a luxury box.

The_Admiral Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I think she's the first woman to be a be a pop superstar while radiating sexlessness. I mean, Madonna and Britney Spears, obvious, but even Bjork and Kate Bush had some sort of energy there that's lacking here. No wonder she's the idol of upper-middle-class girls on SSRIs. 1 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unspoiler if you want to hear more. Spoiler Also, Taylor comes from serious wealth, unlike a lot of the pop/movie stars from the early ‘00s who got brutalized by tabloid media (Winehouse, Smith, Spears, Lohan, etc.). She also had the benefit of breaking out after people started backing away from intense celebrity stalking (paparazzi are professional stalkers, IMO) following the Britney ‘07 meltdown. Taylor was also not on the radar of the relentless British tabloid press (see Amy Winehouse). If she broke out just a few years earlier, she’d probably be getting DUI’s and would have had at least five public meltdowns captured by TMZ’s professional stalkers. Back to football: I wouldn’t mind the Ravens going all the way, since it would mean that the Ravens overtake the Colts in their number of Super Bowls wins. 4 Quote MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor was also not on the radar of the relentless British tabloid press (see Amy Winehouse). Not 100% sure on the stalking, she always has people breaking into one of her twenty different mansions. However, I don't think it's an outgrowth of paparazzi culture so much as her own brand of lore and world-building: while I was discreetly googling for a picture of her looking like she's farting into her microphone, I saw some other image trying to show that her nail polish matched the lettering on a t-shirt from a music video and was thus a special easter egg for her devoted fans. This parasocial insanity used to be reserved for people trying to expose The Truth About Israel or to impress Jodie Foster, but now it's just acceptable content creation for marketing girlies. Anyway, hoping for a 49ers-Chiefs rematch as I enjoy their work but Lions-Chiefs would be fun too.

Nobody felt like Amy Winehouse or Britney Spears was their parasocial friend or icon, unlike what Taylor’s fans have done with her. I’d also go for Lions-Ravens, as it could produce some discourse about Goff’s old Rams contract and Jackson betting on himself (and winning) with his recent deal.

The_Admiral Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Amy Winehouse didn't tell her fans that she was their best friend and that she cared personally about each and everyone one of them. Mostly she just threw up on herself. We didn't know how well we had it.

See Red Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 2 hours ago, ruttep said: This is such a nothing story. Warren Sharp is a joke. Teams with a better record are 11-3 in games this guy officiated. He's averaged a whopping .7 more penalties called on home teams in games he's officiated this season. That's not swaying anything. Shame on anyone that believes the NFL has an official they call in when they need the road team to win and shame on you for spreading Warren Sharp's nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Comet Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Okay, who is Warren Sharp? And why should I care if gambling-addled paranoiacs believe everything is some grand conspiracy when the most likely answer is no one is at the wheel? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s some hack, dart-throwing gambler/engagement farmer on Twitter. Kind of unrelated to the faux outrage he’s always peddling, but I remember LeBatard making fun of him for going 1-15 on his picks one week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont care Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 23 hours ago, infrared41 said: Nor do I. People are losing their minds over cutaway shots. Would they prefer more cutaways to drunk guys acting like buffoons in the stands? More cutaways to some coach talking into a Denny's menu on the sidelines? Taylor Swift is a huge star. If I were directing those broadcasts you can bet your ass I'd be using her for cutaways. Watching Jason Kelce being a drunken buffoon was the highlight of that game.

As with basketball, I think point shaving is going to be the goal of any potential scandal. I don't think they're going to affect winners and losers, too much. They're just going to make sure heavy favorites fail to win by as much as the spread thinks they can win by. Take a bad team +14, and they don't have to win, but it's easy for some drive-killing holding calls or a DPI by the favorites to put them in scoring range to make a game closer than it is. And if the underdog really is doing well and going to win, no malfeasance needed to keep it going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
