On the Super Bowl LIII podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 Todd Gurley of the Los Angeles Rams and Sony Michel of the New England Patriots. Both rushers. Tony talks about how they’ll do in the Super Bowl.

#2 Gurley and Michel both played for Georgia before being drafted in the NFL and now face each other in the Super Bowl.

#3 Gurley said he taught everything he knows to Michel and hopes he’ll forget everything come Super Bowl Sunday.

#4 Cold ice and rain is expected for Atlanta and a drop of 20 degrees is expected at game time and the league is hoping to open the roof as weather will play a factor in that decision.

#5 Atlanta International Airport has been congested with Super Bowl travel, but with this week’s harsh weather conditions, there has been cancellations. On Monday, there were 179 flights cancelled.

On the Super Bowl LIII podcast with London:

#1 Maroon 5 has decided to forgo the traditional pregame Super Bowl LIII presser because of the number of other groups who have chosen not to participate in the halftime entertainment show due to the NFL’s policy about taking a knee.

#2 Rihanna led the way by telling the NFL that she would not do the Super Bowl halftime show because of the anti-taking a knee policy and said that former San Francisco 49er quarterback Colin Kaepernick had a right to protest against police brutality and discrimination that still continues to this day.

#3 Comedian Amy Schumer has asked that Maroon 5 step down from entertaining at halftime for this Sunday’s Super Bowl because of what Kaepernick is doing is making a statement about racial discrimination and unequal justice to minorities and people of color.

#4 The NFL has promised Maroon 5 that they will donate $500,000 to the Big Brothers and Big Sister charity group if the band would entertain at this Sunday’s halftime performance. Adam Levine of Maroon 5 said of the NFL’s donation that he’s thankful for the donation and it would benefit children across the country.

#5 Maroon 5 didn’t want to take any questions about the other artists asking them not to perform and questions about Colin Kaepernick’s stance on racial discrimination in America.

On That’s Amaury’s Super Bowl LIII podcast:

#1 Both Super Bowl quarterbacks have local ties to the San Francisco Bay Area. New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady formerly lived in San Mateo and Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff played for the Cal Bears in Berkeley.

#2 Brady has won five Super Bowls. He’s a slam dunk for the Football Hall of Fame. Talk about his odds on getting that sixth ring.

#3 Brady is 42 years old playing in his 10th Super Bowl this coming Sunday. That’s a lot of Super Bowls and experience can prove to be helpful in winning another one.

#4 For Goff, it’s a real “pinch me am I here?”moment, Goff was in a media day situation when both Brady and Goff sat next to each other answering questions and Goff had some questions for Brady and Brady simply said he’s not answering. No tips before game day.

#5 What does Amaury expect out of Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta this Sunday?

2019 Pro Bowl: AFC earns soggy 26-7 blowout over NFC

Sunday, January 27, 2019

The 2019 Pro Bowl kicked off in Orlando, Fla., in the midst of a rain shower, 94 percent humidity and a game time temperature of 54 degrees.

Meanwhile, in Honolulu, Hawaii, it was 73 degrees, partial clouds, and 57 percent humidity. The NFL used to play the Pro Bowl in Honolulu, but Commissioner Roger Goddell had the game moved to Orlando for better stadium perks and amenities for himself, his friends, and the league’s owners.

That, and ongoing issues regarding the condition of Aloha Stadium, which needed major renovations and upkeep. Hawaii last hosted the Pro Bowl in 2016, with no guarantee of the game returning, which is unfortunate — it was a major reason for the best players to show up after years of prominent no-shows.

Today’s scene is reminiscent of when the league played the Pro Bowl in Kansas City in 1974. Nonetheless, Suzy Kolber and Lisa Salters had no trouble rocking their rain gear, working the sidelines for ESPN on ABC.

These days, the Pro Bowl has an odd way of starting — there are no kickoffs. Possessions begin at the team’s own 25-yard line. Special teams players are still selected, more as an honor.

As for the game, proudly presented by Verizon, the AFC jumped to a 17-0 halftime lead and eventually prevailed 26-7.

At 11:26 of the first quarter, Kansas City QB Patrick Mahomes threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Colts tight end Eric Ebron to open the scoring. The AFC extended its lead in the second quarter on a 1-yard plunge by Chiefs fullback Anthony Sherman and Jets’ kicker Jason Myers’ 31-yard field goal.

Myers’ 47-yard field goal at 4:06 of the third quarter put the AFC up 20-0. The NFC found the end zone at 9:05 of the fourth quarter when Dak Prescott of Dallas connected with Atlanta tight end Austin Hooper for a 20-yard scoring play.

The AFC closed out the scoring with 19 seconds remaining, when Houston quarterback Deshaun Watson tossed a 6-yard TD pass to Jacksonville cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Trailing by 19, the AFC went for two and the pass was incomplete.

Mahomes, the offensive most valuable player, completed 7 of 14 passes for 156 yards and a touchdown. Tyreek Hill of Kansas City was the AFC’s top rusher with 24 yards on two carries, and the Los Angeles Chargers’ Keenan Allen caught four passes for 95 yards.

NFC leaders: Seattle’s Russell Wilson completed 5 of 8 passes for 68 yards, Ezekiel Elliott of Dallas gained 33 yards on three attempts, and Davante Adams of Green Bay caught two passes for 41 yards.

The New York Jets’ Jamal Adams was the defensive MVP.

This is the final year of a three-year contract to play the Pro Bowl at Camping World Stadium in Orlando. As of Jan. 27, the attendance has yet to be announced.

On the Super Bowl LIII podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 The NFL is considering expanding the replay rule especially after what happened in the NFL Championship games.

#2 New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton, the Saints players, and fans still are talking about the non-pass interference call.

#3 New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski said when it comes to blocking, receiving, and whatever plays are called you’ve got to go out and do your job.

#4 The Rams defense gave up 1,075 yards to opponents tight ends this season. Will that give the Patriots some daylight in the Super Bowl?

#5 Tony talks about how he sees the match ups between the Los Angeles Rams’ Jared Goff and the New England Patriots’ Tom Brady.

That’s Amaury’s News and Commentary: Rams and Patriots–Amaury takes aim at who will be the winner in Super Bowl LIII

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

On That’s Amaury’s News and Commentary podcast:

#1 The Super Bowl is here, but not without controversy in the AFC Championship game, a call that went against the Kansas City Chiefs for roughing Tom Brady, the Patriots quarterback, changed the direction of the game and the Chiefs lost by a touchdown.

#2 In the NFC Championship, the Los Angeles Rams got a no call from the officials when the Rams’ Nickeel Robey-Coleman went helmet to helmet with the New Orleans Saints’ Tommylee Lewis and there was no personal foul call against Coleman on the play. Again, a loss for the Saints 26-23 and no Super Bowl.

#3 Does Amaury believe that these non-calls or bad calls led up to New England and Los Angeles getting in the Super Bowl and the fix was in to get the larger TV market teams or was it just coincidence that it turned out this way?

#4 Who does Amaury like in Super Bowl LIII?

#5 Amaury talks about his past experiences covering Super Bowls.
