Kirk Cousins is reported to be demanding $90 million.
That looks like a 50% pay increase. Can't wait to see the ripple effect on the rest of the Vikings...

If even a small percentage of folks watching a game only to see her develop an interest in football, then it's an overall win for the game.

The question is, do they pay it? He's a pretty good QB, but he's not a superstar, and he's entering the twilight of his career. So, do the Vikes push their chips in, pay the man, and keep trying to win now, or do they let him walk to a contender and go into a rebuild? If so, they need to be prepared to lose Justin Jefferson, who probably isn't interested in sticking around for that.
If they do decide to keep it going, the NFC North is going to be a bloodbath next year.

Going into yesterday, I was rooting hard for the Lions. I know what it's like for their fans having been a Pats fan since before they got good, so I was really rooting for them to win it all. But alas, it was not meant to be.
That said, this might be the first Super Bowl I completely skip. I have zero interest in watching the Chiefs, and even though I sorta root for the 49ers as one of my "alternate" teams, this 49ers team is unspectacular at best and I feel like it will be a boring game. Chiefs will win, and the inevitable "Mahomes is the real GOAT" rhetoric will start. Blah....
I've been a 49er fan my whole life, got to watch the loaded pre salary cap 80's teams. I think this year's team may be one of my favorites. There is no questioning the skill of the old team loaded with hall of famers. But this team is fun to watch. Plenty of skill- Purdy, Samuel, Kittle, McCaffery, Aiyuk and more. But I really enjoy how well they all play together, and with such heart. They were getting killed yesterday, and they willed their way back into the game. CMC played angry. Deebo and Kittle followed suit. Aiyuk gave it his all on every play. Heck, their fullback made one of the best catches of the game. Purdy rushing for key first downs with no though of sliding down. Mitchell going in for a TD on his first carry. No prima donna receivers complaining about not getting the ball, they are just as committed to throwing a block downfield for their running back. They all play that much better due to the support of those around them, rare in today's NFL focused on individual talent, and it's fun to watch.
You see that block that kittle got on Hutchinson? Literally pancaked him and followed him down facemask to facemask. That's some fire there on play not a lot notice.
As a Lions fan I will say that Kittle is my favorite player in the league. God that guy has fun at his job.
