Superbowl LII - The Purple Rainy Road to Mary Tyler Moore's Minneapolis

@Rocko - How do we (i) edit thread titles ?

@Sidney

The titles for Superbowl threads have been terribly unimaginative in recent years.

The “Path to Meadowlands” title for the 2014 Superbowl thread was I assume so chosen because of the name of the train that crosses under the Hudson to the stadium in question. A fine thread title, but it’s been downhill ever since.

The 2015 thread “the Dusty Path to Phoenix, Arizona” was just about acceptable, given its reference to the Arizona desert, but a reference to Route 66 would have been much more appropriate.

The 2016 Superbowl thread title, “the Road to Santa Clara”, was pathetic and given that Santa Clara is essentially San Jose, a rather obvious cultural reference was missed here.

Similarly “the Road to Houston” thread title made no reference to the mode of transport that Houston is best known for.

Minneapolis is known for two things - the late, great, Prince, and the Mississippi river.

Please amend the thread title to “Superbowl LII - The Meandering to Minneapolis”, to reflect the culture of the venue’s area.

Minneapolis is known as the home of the Mary Tyler Moore show.

There is good value in taking the saints. They would have every chance of replicating what Atlanta did this year. All they need to do is get a half decent draft with a leaning towards defensive players and pass rush. They will have a couple of long term injuries back next season and one or 2 acquisitions off free agency and they will be very very competitive and should make the play offs.

I’m gonna get behind a team this year and brush up on my knowledge of the NFL. When does pre-season start?

@ChocolateMice: should I stick with my beloved Packers or do I need to find a different franchise? When does the transfer window close?

Stick with the packers mate, the people’s franchise

This is a much better thread title. Beautiful alliteration.

Alshon looks to be heading to Philly. Wentz will be delighted.

[backinatracksuit]

Just what the Eagles needed though I read that they would be going for the aforementioned John Ross

[Chucks_Nwoko]

Most mocks have them taking a RB in the first. That coin toss could be crucial.

Ross couldn’t even run the 40 without pulling up lame. He’ll bust.

[Matty_Hislop]

The Eagles won the coin toss at the combine Chuck.

[Chucks_Nwoko]

That’s what i meant. Colts also in the RB market.

[backinatracksuit]

Well Jeffrey makes that a no brainer though there’s a couple of Rbs there who could do a job if there was a downfield threat.

[Chucks_Nwoko]

Someone’s gonna get a steal in Mixon on Day 2. Can’t wait for the screaming marys to lose their shit.
