I'm surprised no one had posted a similar thread before this .
It featured 3 teams. 2 teams that featured mostly NFL superstars, past and present, and a raging ******* named Logan Paul. A 3rd team was made up of "Team USA" the current champs, all of whom were UNDER 6', had full time jobs, but had been playing the game for years (the game's MVP was 37 years old). AND they made the NFL all-stars look like mopes. In the 3 games they played they scored EVERYtime they had the ball except for once, when they were kneeling down at the end of a game they were winning by 30.
The most interesting thing for me was seeing Brady throw the ball. God, he can still sling it. I mean uber accuracy and velocity, even though he got fewer snaps than Jaylen Hurts, who showed why he is probably the reason AJB wants to leave Philly. He had zero escapability and was inconsistently with his accuracy. He threw a great 40 yd dart for a TD, followed by a 10 yd out that wasn't close. I don't know why Brady didn't play more. Gronk was great until he pulled a hammy. Diggs was great, and Brady was targeting him.
The announcers constantly explained why these no names were scoring at will, but to me it was the difference in how well they played defense that was the difference in the game. The NFL had LB's and DE (and Logan ****ing Paul the fraud) rushing the passer. Great names like Luke Kuechly but they were being GASHED by the quicker smaller team USA. Plus, they were constantly being penalized for either not knowing the rules or initiating contact in a game that tries to eliminate most of it. With both offensive gurus Sean Payton and Kyle Shanahan watching their star-studded teams getting stifled by defense that had no players over 6' and I doubt any were over 200lbs. I mean they looked positively tiny compared to their NFL counterparts... yet they prevailed,
Anyway, it was kind of satisfying to watch they privileged athletes get humiliated by pretty much everyday Joes who had to get time off from work to play in these games. I REALLY hope they made a few bucks for this, I'm sure the NFL guys did. (God, Brady looked like could still help a team)
