Super Bowl Refs Hold Pregame Meeting To Decide Which Team Will Win

GLENDALE, AZ — The Super Bowl referees held a brief meeting before the game began to go ahead and decide which team will take home the Lombardi trophy.

"Alright, let's get this over with. Who are we going to take?" asked head referee Larry Masters. "You feeling the Eagles today, Bob?"

After a short back-and-forth, the referee crew settled on handing the game to Philadelphia. "Steve was pulling for the Chiefs, but no one cares what Steve thinks," said back judge Bob Prince. "There's a lot more excitement for us referees to neutralize a generational talent like Patrick Mahomes using only our whistles. It really crushes the spirit of every athlete. Plus, there's the added bonus of torturing Cowboys fans with an Eagles win. It's a no-brainer."

According to sources, the tradition of the referees selecting the Super Bowl winner dates back over twenty years. "The first time choosing who will win the Super Bowl is always the sweetest," said retired referee Ed Hochuli. "Watching a cornerback commit felonious assault on a wide receiver while keeping your flag safely tucked away - man, you just savor those moments. Almost makes me want to pick up my whistle again."

At publishing time, the referees had reconsidered their choice after remembering that a Philadelphia victory would cause the city to burn. However, they stuck with their decision after realizing that Philly was going to burn no matter what.

Just woke up from a nap during which 'someone' pointed to a Chief's fan dragging a large red banned looking all dejected, "Well now they can at least stop waving those huge banners."

I take that to mean the Eagles will win going away, perhaps playing against Henne for most of the game with Mahomes out on injury.

Super Bowl Refs Hold Pregame Meeting To Decide Which Team Will Win

LOL. The worst thing about the game is watching the modern flag-football, Canadian-football style that has taken over the NFL. There’s already a gazillion sports where a ball is tossed around. I miss the physicality of old school football; and I also can’t stand the ridiculous protected status of quarterbacks and wide receivers. Want your QBs to get hit less? Run the football more and don’t ask them to stand in the pocket for 5 full seconds looking for a receiver.

Anyone just watch the National anthem?? The camera switched to a US Naval Carrier. There were a bunch of sailors dressed in the colors or the Fag Flag and standing in alignment to look like the Fag Flag

Yep. It sure looks like the sport is rigged. The refs always have their favorites.

Flight deck sailors wear different colors depending on their rate, or job, on the ship. Here's a link explaining the different colors and their corresponding roles

The NFL will simply add up the number of blacks, LGBTs, migrant invader vermin, kneelers, and felony arrests for each team/organization...

The highest number wins...

Looks like the refs picked KC.

What a stupid call on that sideline catch.

A lot of discussion about the bizarre Jesus jacket Hamlin is wearing. I had to track it down to figure out what it is...It is a Kanye West jacket.
