NFL Superbowl thread

[The Disciple]

To add to a weird SB, we have a guy with an impressive and extensive career catalog of his own to choose songs from, and he gives us "Proud Mary" and the Foo Fighters That's like U2 doing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" instead of "Streets."

HE gave us 3 songs from Purple Rain... that statement makes no sense. And he was DARING enough 2 throw in what is already a gr8 Foo Fighters song and made it his own... We'll have 2 agree 2 disagree, but definitely the best since U2.

2 things:
-I don't know if anyone heard, but once again God was responsible for another pro sports victory.
-Football is played in any type of weather. I loved the rain.

I know he did his own stuff too, but a guy with so many good songs of his own should have given us more of his own, like U2, Paul McCartney and the Stones. But it was a good show! I like the Foo Fighters! Tommorrow I'm going to put one of their songs to pictures in honor of the SB.

The Disney World people must have also thought Rhodes was going to get MVP- they chose him for the "I'm Going to Disney World!" Commercial!

Thanks.

I just want to say that the Bears handled defeat very well and that though they didn't win they did prevail in representing their city and organization with class. Bears fans should be proud of their team to have gotten this far. I'm thrilled with the class that most of the Chiefs, Ravens and Pats players showed in the playoffs. It's great to win but even better to have see the respect that other teams and their fans showed the Colts in defeat.

I totally agree with you...I'm happy that the Bears have giving the city of Chicago another chance to go to the Super bowl.

The 1st quarter was entertaining with the kickoff return and all the fumbles, but after that, the Colts took control, the Bears did nothing, and Prince rocked.

What a boring game that turned out to be.

Despite the fact that i was cheering for the Colts, and will have a GREAT day tomorrow at work now, I feel this game was a bit of a letdown after the AFC Championship Game. The Colts did not play as well, and no offense to the Bears fans, but the Bears are no New England Patriots. If this was the BCS....we would have arguments about the Pats getting votes for #2.

i invented the hot dog

You should have patented it before that Oscar Mayer dude ripped off your idea.

 

[Hewson]

am I crazy, or those "boooooo" for the Colts were unbelievable loud?

They were saying "Boo-urns".

 

[Hewson]

Congratulations on your team's victory, enjoy it.

As for these statements:

You know, I invented that idea, I wrote it in a story many years ago, before there ever was such a thing. And here I sit with no cash.

Like last year should have been theirs and the Steelers stole it.

All I can say is:

 

[Hewson]

As for the game...kind of a stinker, especially the 2nd half.
1st half was sloppy as hell, but at least competitive...2nd half the Bears (and most notably Sexy Rexy) were pretty deplorable.
The Colts were definitely the better team, but the Bears got exactly what they needed early with the Hester TD and subsequent Manning INT to shock the Colts, but couldn't execute when they had the momentum outside of the one long Jones run.

Rhodes should have been MVP, I was hoping he would bust for a TD on the Colts' last drive to secure it cause as one of my friends said, "They had Manning's name engraved on the trophy Thursday".
Manning will no longer be the Dan Marino of his generation, good for him. Good for Dungy, but lets ease up on the God stuff Tony, God would certainly have more important concerns than a football game.
I don't see how the Bears continue to go to battle with Grossman...we'll see what happens this offseason, but thats a very good team with a glaring weakness at the most important position...they were interested in Bledsoe in 2002, maybe they can try that route...OK maybe not.

And how about a botched extra point to F up 127 million people's Super Bowl squares...

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

it screwed my friend out of 200 bucks... i LOL'd

perhaps chicager can go after chunky soup man, i heard he's available.

i know i'm still gonna be in the minority here, but prince's half time show (which is the only thing worth talking about after that dreadful game) was better than u2's... maybe i feel that way because i wasn't expecting anything to blow me away like that, where as u2's performance, while touching, was about as hard to predict as death and taxes...

the purple one rocked my world.

 

[kellyahern]

Uh, you heard that? Which time...


Ok, I've triedto back up Rex Grossman all playoffs long. But holy crap was he horrible. Absolutely ridiculously worthless.

Enough on him. The better team won. Peyton did not choke at all. Hey, we had a chance. We were only down by 5 in the third until(my first head explosion) the interception return for the touchdown. That was horrible. Everything about that pass was amazingly bad.

Yeah, that was the one.

I feel bad for Rex too . . . but then I remember that he's a Gator and point and laugh .

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

it was nice that they let timmy manning out of the cage for the pregame show.

timmay!!!

Cooper, Peyton and Eli.
Someone should have given Archie and Olivia a baby name book.
Instead they used the tires from Archie's tractor, Olivia's favorite soap opera and their favorite inventor (cotton gin) as inspiration for naming the kids.

Chunky soup man is originally from Chicago too! Nice media story.

I was surrounded by people who could not grasp Prince's, um, awesomeness!? It sucked (for me) knowing how great Prince IS, and would be during this performance. It was a great performance!

Predicable, yes, but with the whole 9/11 element in the air and U2 playing as we expect them to, I still have to rate it higher than Prince.

But believe me, Prince is right up there. He's always been a phenomenal guitar player, something that doesn't always come out in his more pop-oriented songs, but man, can he play that thing.

 

[Hewson]

I dunno, tough to top Aerosmith with NSync and pre-crotch shot Britney.

And lest we forget just how great the $tone$ looked and sounded last year.

Indeed. Can you imagine if the Pats and Colts had played last night instead of two weeks ago? Brady and Manning together on football's biggest stage?

Sadly, that will never happen.

the emotional factor of u2's performance is what i might agree puts it over the top... it was the perfect time for it. as far as sheer performance though, prince was better, imo.

one thing i can't stand about the day after the super bowl is working with old fogies... all they wanna talk about are the commercials and how bad the half time show was.

ugh...

Well could happen, Brady and Eli Manning in the Super Bowl.
No wait:

that will never happen.

Hey...the crab commercial was funny...now get back to work whippersnapper.

if the AFC Championship game were, in fact, the super bowl, it would probably go down as the greatest super bowl ever played.

as opposed to last night, which was the worst super bowl ever played. how many turnovers did they end up with for the game... 40? 50? disgustingly bad... and forget the rain. those INTs by sexy rexy had nothing to do with rain, and neither did the INT by pey pey in the 1st, or the botched snaps by sexy rexy, the helmet on the ball by bob sanders... pretty much the majority of the turnovers had nothing to do whatsoever with the weather. i think the only thing you can sorta blame on a slippery ball is the botched PAT, but seeing as that's the 40th botched FG/PAT since week 16, i dunno if we can completely blame that on the weather.

perhaps next year we'll start seeing "kick hold specialists" come into the game. or, perhaps, a wide reciever becomes the holder... you know, someone who catches the ball for a living as opposed to someone who throws it?

i just revolutionized the game of football, much in the same way u2kitten did with her invention of the retractable roof.

I liked the Bud Light commercial where they slapped everyone.

Yeah, that was a good one, too.
