Super Bowl Open Thread

I never took Latin so I can read those Roman Numerals. Ok, I lied, I can read it but forgot what number it is. Giants at Pats. Gametime. Maybe next year it'll be Chiefs vs Who Knows ... we can dream!

Brian Waters and the Patriots take on The Other Manning. Madonna gets $50 Million free advertising, Chevy beats up on Ford and the Polar Bears finally get a TV. NBC will be streaming the game for the first time and we are ready to rumble.

Was hoping it wouldn't come to this

Thanks, Ups.

it's not much, man ... best I can do since Goodell won't answer his cell phone
Still the greatest Super Bowl intro ever.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F_iGK7Kv1M

You're cooler than I thought you were, GenBrand

Hadn’t seen this before

I don't think many people have made it over here yet
I've noticed that...
Present
The Chiefs want to be the best rushing team but maybe we shouldnt focus on that?

Jamaal cant get us to the Bowl by himself

Not completely terrible beer, actually
"not completely terrible"

best any man could ask for, right?

When talking about Budweiser? Yes.
That commercial ended up better than it started

but only because it killed all of the vamps

Enjoying my 10 free Chipotle burritos I won from SB Nation tonight

Thanks everybody!

are you sharing?
For the sake of my health, yes
what

don’t think you could down all of em in one sitting?

I can put away some food, but imagining trying to eat more than one is horrifying
Like dropping the Chiefs Lombardi?
w00t

safety gets the first score

Brady already reacting to pressure that isn't there

Eyes are too busy on the front 4 instead of downfield. He started sliding as soon as he saw Tuck stunt. OLine picked him up…

This

Gonna be a long day for Tom if he keeps that up.

Eh, they didn't totally pick him up, looking at the replay...

But, still…

just want everyone to remember

I called it :)

Called what, exactly?

Not even halfway through the first qtr..

in the prediction thread
35-13 Giants
Tom Brady reminds people of Philip Rivers, and Gronk comes out in the 1st.
Great call

glad to see they aren’t going to just give things to Brady because he is brady

I just KNEW they were about to call a late hit.
That safety screws up my final score prediction.
Tom, looking a lil anxious, there

Better watch some Yo Gabba Gabba and get those wiggles out, buddy.

Hooooolllld Stiiiilll
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle (go!)
pepsi just ruined the advertising every body else bought

I will now be changing the channel for every commercial break after that foolishness.

The Patriots aren't on their game...

12 men on the field LOL

Man the Patriots look sloppy.

Hoodies gonna be pissed.

how about that, folks!
O/U on the jersey number of whomever scored the first touchdown was 80.5...

I so would have bet the over, and lost miserably.

Figured the Pats would lose

Their D is bad

Disappointing commercials so far

Aside from the cheetah one.

Agreed....what a bunch of wasted commercials
Madonna

Does Vanilla Ice make an apperance…she could give him some “Ice, Ice Baby” ;)

I miss the light brown m&m's
Waters' still all kinds of nasty.
Can't stand the Patriots

But I’ll be happy for Waters if they win it.

He will be all the way to the Hall of Fame
Why is Ross celebrating after Welker's first?

Reminded me of that Raider bum

Curry?
Yea that guy...forgot who

Didnt care much about him

Was a good hit, shrug
Wow...27 minute first quarter
That looks gooooood
I have incorrectly predicted the last 4 Super Bowls.

And so far it looks like I’ll make it 5 in a row.

What was your prediction?

And how has that been nullified having just started the 2nd qtr?

The game ends in the 2nd quarter.
Patriots win.

But they have looked terrible so far. I know there’s lots of game left, but it’s not looking too good.

I dont know...Their D is playing terrible...

Like they have all season

Yeah, but I mean their offense.

Then again, there’s been plenty of times this season where they started slow and ended up winning in a blowout.

I remember a certain KC game that went like that...
Riggins vs. the aliens

My money’s on Riggins.

Deja vu?

Riggins vs other aliens…

Coach Taylor would be proud

Riggins made it to the Super Bowl twice.

lmao!

YOU DIDN’T SEE NUTHIN!

Mr. Johnson just stole my car!
Great catch by Nicks
Just tuning in

Who got the ball to start the 1st half?

I think Pats ... don't quote me
oh Brian...
Wait, that's a hold?

Funny, it never seems to get called when it happens to Tamba.

The League hates Tamba

Plain and simple…or they just hate the Chiefs.

Well he did go to the Pro Bowl tho...
I don't know that I'd go that far

But it is amazing how many times I can remember Tamba getting an arm around his neck without a flag.

Honestly, I think there is a lot of holding on every play in the NFL.
Oh I know

They could call it every play if they really wanted to. Just seems so blatant when it’s an arm around the guys neck.

Yea thats true...I think they ignore it sometimes honestly.
Haha

He took some of our Chiefs’ “legendary” penalties when it matters…

Life of a Chiefs fan...
I know they play different positions

But I’d love it if Houston can develop into our version of JPP.

Brady = Legendary
Pretty good first half

Wish I could say the same for the halftime show to come.

Truth

The SB HAlftime show has been a joke for the last several years. I can only hope that Madonnas old ass falls and breaks a hip.

That would be a pretty good halftime show.
Not that I wish pain on others but I anticipate an abortion
Madonna already had an abortion...

As she entered the stage…

In SB 4..the first score was a safety...

Where you old people who know about that?

really?

you mean this game?

Cant read Roman Numerals..

It may have been 9 lol

yep, that was it
That's some impressive tight-roping
Don't understand how hard it would be to book good musicians that aren't over the hill for the nations biggest sporting event.

Instead we have to watch a 50 something yo Madonna stand around, lip sync and wiggle a little. This is sad.

Future bands/musicians you'd want to see on the half time show?

I’ll go first. Shinedown.

Well, they had the Black Eyed Peas.

Now, why we can’t have young, GOOD bands is beyond me.

Awesome lip syncing here
Jesus...

Shoot me now…

Amazingly

This is better than the Black-eyed Peas last year

Well, at least that tight rope guy was pretty cool...
Where is Janet jackson when you need her ?
This is so bad.
How did sego from ancient egyptian to marching band?
Turn it off and stop commenting :-)

Problem solved.

It's like a train wreck.

Can’t… Stop… Watching.

Marching bands

built the pyramids. Were you asleep in history class?

Oh damn

That was slaves. Nevermind.

Please make her stop

The halftime at the Super Bowl should be shorter than usual

Why not just let Kelly Clarkson perform ?
I'm trying to decide who's worse ... Madonna at 50 or the Rolling Stones at 500

it’s close, gotta go with the Stones doing their best “propped up beside the jukebox” imitation

World peace, lol.
She disappeared!

YaaaaaaY!

World Peace? Why did they bring him into their show?
YAY!!! COMMERCIALS!!
Yay, indeed...

Better than hearing ya’ll bitch and moan :-)

Closet Madonna fan?

It’s cool ;)

Betty White!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I missed the first half

Looks like a good score. Waters gets a ring today?

Damn, worst SB halftime since MJ the molester.
Dear God

Madonna sucks! I hope she never sings anywere ever again…I would wish that upon no mans ears

Just glad to see other people like Nicki and Cee Lo perform.....
Truly awful!
Good ad with Eastwood
man Clint makes me wanna go and build a car
here ya go, WIllie

lol I betta get started then
If we can't find a way through it, we'll borrow money from the government.
I'd like some of that, please
I'll rob some shareholders and hook you up.
Eastwood for President!

hey, at least he;’s been a real Mayor

GET OFF MY LAWN!
pull them pistols or whistle dixie
just like going to the bar with an open tab
Wow!

Clint Eastwood’s Detroit commercial was mind blowing. He is the man, bottom line

bad ass
Clint Eastwood>Madonna
Here come the Pats.
That safety could make for an interesting ending...
If they get a TD here

I bet they win.

Maybe. Lots of game left.
Hoping they do for my own sake...

Unless they get suicidal in my home state…

Pats will blow them out now

Just my guess

Nope

Eli strikes aain

Pats are killing them with those slants right now.
If it ain't broke...
Brady in the zone
brutal drive for Giants
The Giants got way too caught up in that amazing Madonna halftime show someone should tell them the 3rd quarter has started
Tuck is a huge Madonna fan, apparently.
Brady must hate Madonna like us?
Belichick handed out earplugs

Coughlin didn’t think of it.

Belichick is an amazing coach. Should get Coach of the year for that.

Maybe even SB MVP

Great drive. Tear them up Brady
Giants have to come back with some kind of score here.

Brady looking like Brady now

Come on G-men.
Come on Brian(and Pats)!!

:)

Meh.

Don’t really care either way, but want a good game regardless.

Looks good so far eh?
Not bad.

A NYG score would be cool.

Gotta give it to the Pats secondary.

They’re laying some wood.

I'm torn

I’d love to see Waters get a ring, even though I can’t stand the Patriots. I also have a good friend that’s a Giants fan so…

Would help Waters get in the Hall

More Chiefs the better

ain't over yet, Brad
the commercials have been great so far
Id like to disagree

They have been fair

The Vampires was awesome

He will suck the life out of the Giants?
ohh this post just opened up a can of worms
No he is sucking the life out of the Chiefs...

He is doing it somehow..not sure how but he is

Game>commercials>Palko>halftimeshow>
hmm...watch Palko QB or Madonna...got me in a tough spot
Madonna was alright

it was Majestic

U may be the only one to use "majestic"
Pageantry
That's part of the problem.

The halftime show is too much of a spectacle. Put bands and musicians up there that just jam out, and sound good. Enough of this lip syncing super spectacle BS.

It is the BIG SHOW

I liked it and even knew who LMFAO was

Made me want to see Fleetwood Mac next year
Hey All

Happy second half :)

what a way to start with a safety
Was hoping for a Tynes miss...
man, with the Pioli / Patriot connection

I think we can pick up Brady in the off season

No...

We’ll pick up Hoyer in the off season as our QB.

Does John Stamos age?
That was Stamos... Right?
no and yes
pioli talking to peyton manning up in the super bowl suite
Kidnapping is an Option
pioli got the kc doctors looking at peyton neck up in the suite
Peyton + Daboll = Super Bowl
Manning and Red Bull
maning and any bull

= super bowl

muir and red bull
Maybe he will stay awake?
he doesnt have to now
I guess...all he has to do is sleep now...
That NSX looks badass.
so, Brad ... nice series there, huh!

Meh.

You’d think Brady could do better.

wowwwww
How many time has she been shown on TV tonight?

Once?

I think not drinking untill gametime is paying off this year.

First time I remember going into the 4th qtr of a Super Bowl for a couple years now.

LOL
I always find myself going to the DVR the next morning..

when Chiefs play in “Primetime” games to.

Manning did the same last time but gronk is not as lucky as tyree was there.
Waiting for the Janitor to show up now
Double awesome.

Too bad the Giants recovered.

Brady almost gained 35 yards on an INT.
Elite does that :(
Giants fumbled 3 times n recovered all 3 times, one was nullified and the other 2 they recovered

Unbelievable how the balls are bouncing their way

3 and out coming up...
that was

pass interference by the way

on that int

that guy clearly pushed off on gronk

damn substitute Teachers

:)

I bet his students appreciate a week of subs

the guy should lose his teaching job.
PERIOD
NUFF SAID

Yes it was. But 100% Gronk would have caught that
not with sabby covering him
Well...Sabby is OK in coverage...not good, but the angles he take are terrible!
That commercial was pretty good.

Broderick… Broderick…

So the MVP will be the winning QB?

or too soon?

I approve of this...

I respect Eli, but Brady>Eli

Cruz is my outside shot for it if he can make a big play...or "the big play"
Giants losing all there TE's
Yep...changes things
Here We Go

yall need a Bud

Cruz catches things I wish he didnt
Giants are going to pick the Patriots secondary apart now
Hynoski would have been a nice pick up last year in the draft
Haley-like Management with Time
i didn't see the 3 ring circus getting the play in
Hope those timeouts don't come back to haunt them
gotta use em if you have too
Ballard is done

Bear Pascoe is it

did u see his blow out on the sideline
whoa...those TOs

Cassel > Eli

tough making the catch with a CB grabbing your shoulder like that ...
nah

it was clean

He looked for the ball Up
Daytona is coming soon

Geaux Junior

eh. Not even saying who I like. But total opposite of Junior. Bet you get it in one guess,lol
M&M's
Yes sir.

But you say geaux so at least were on common ground with LSU

Sure we are :)

Going to be an awesome Nascar Season

when is junior going to win a race
This Year ?

I hope

surprised I haven't heard them call Mike Vrabel's name one time today ...

… almost like he retired or something

Another safety here would be great
How would you rate the Legends

Casino
Sporting KC
Nebraska Furniture
Race track

Never been there

I am one of the 99%

Go Pats.

Keep on marching

Where can we get a BenJarvus Green-Ellis?
talk about Jinxing a dude
LaMicheal James

does that work

Rubins, Case, Rubins, Cambiano & Bryant.
i want a chiefs peyton manning jersey I'll pay shipping
LOL at Brady throwing a block!
Looked like a good block to me
Lol yea but the idea of Brady throwing one is funny to me.
Super bowl winning drive here...
Targeting the Cornhusker
They've been throwing these short routes since they came out of the locker room at half time...

The Giants should probably start sitting on those.

Dont get too conservative Pats...
Welker is short :)
Super Bowl losing Drop there...
Field Goal wins this thing
Maybe, there's quite a bit of time.
Here comes ELIte...

Go Pats…

This is where having to use those two timeouts earlier could hurt them
They're in more danger of scoring too quickly then running out of time.
Easy to say that now

I thought it before that big pass.

I said it before that play above.

more than 3 minutes and you don’t really need to worry about time unless you have Palko or somebody at QB.

What a catch
Already.... ELIte
meh

29 TDs 16 Ints doesn’t make you elite. maybe after tonight

Well this Pats D wont hold
What a catch

Makes up for the lazy-ass attempt to get both feet down on the his last sideline catch.

woooooooooooo

AP sb ot ftw

The Catch pt Deux
Ohhhhhh Ely

Can you do it?

Big bucks, no field goals
2 minutes
can a 1st quarter safety be the difference?
oh Braaaaaaaaaaaaaddddddddddddddd
Ugh...now i get to hear about my people in NJ about how great the Giants are
not til after they score ... soon, very soon :-)
Just move to Philly
Game isn't over yet.

The Pats will probably have a minute at least and 2 timeouts.

well, they only have 2 TO's left ... G-men can run out a lot of unless the pats burn theirs
maybe a minute but with less timeouts
giants will run it here
Exactly...The Pats cant stop the run
I would just kneel on it
I was just thinking that

take a knee and FORCE the timeout

If only they would just listen to us.
Stay in bounds Nicks
Might want to just let them score.

A minute and two timeouts to score a TD or 20 seconds and no timeouts for a field goal? I’d take the former.

exactly...let them score
Vegas knows their Shit
or do they know something we dont
LOL

Pats suck at life

Wes Welker lost the game by dropping the pass and letting tard baby Eli back in to win

wow, they DID let him score
Should have done it the play before.

Would have had more time and another timeout.

If only he could have stopped and waited
un freaking real
You know to be the goat at RB with that score is total crap
Scoring a TD could be the worst thing to ever happen

Mara Kraft pushed Bradshaw into the end zone

Brady wanted the Ball

let’s see what he can do

i would not tynes to win the game for me
what time to start dorpping
Is Bowe on that team?
Defense can Win

Super Bowls

With an Eli and Cruz and Manningham...
just ELI ant that's it
Someone catches those balls
we have bowe, baldwin and breaston
We got Bowe and Baldwin and Breaston

and McCluster and Charles and Moeaki

lots of Qb/wr combos can win if the defense holds teams to under 20 points
Yep

Elite Offenses to under 20 points

Get the ball back and score

Teach NE not to be such Douches

Belechik is a dbag i hope they lose.
Giants fans r dbags, I live in nj and work in NYC , def not happy right now
If the Giants can't stop them here they don't deserve to win
I can't believe defensive penalties spend clock.
Screw you Pats...

Letting the Giants slap u around again

Quite a trade-off

12 men, extra coverage, 10 seconds run off the clock and only 5 yards for the offense? I’d do that every fucking time.

Giants win weird the biggest population. Thats why I betted on them.
Giants are Kryptonite to Brady
Now Peyton's going to want another ring even more.
for you, Brad :-)

If Phillips actually gets his mitts on that deflection...

It lands right in Gronk’s hands.

Brady should have studied films of Palko more often
Find me a better hail mary thrower
This could be good news for us.

Manning will now be more motivated to go to a team where he thinks he can win a Super Bowl, and we’re the only team that would be interested in him that would have a shot with him. Unless the Ravens or 49ers go after him, but still, I think our chances improved.

Would have been nice to see Waters get a ring

But I can’t deny I prefer seeing the Pats lose.

Hmm, 24 NBC sports network? What channel?

Tired of listening to Berman take too long to breathe between run-on sentences.

Just goes to show you that the most important thing to have in the playoffs is MOMENTUM
Or just a better all-around team...
If we beat the Raiders and won 3 straight...we go to the SB?
Except the Patriots had the longer winning streak going into the game.
but they didnt have the MOMMENTUM
Defense Still wins games
Can we win an SB with good ol' Cassel now?
We could.

But an upgrade at QB would help.

No

don’t get carried away

Cassel can not throw a deep pass with 2 minutes to go
Matt doesnt have the experience
I thought you were building a car
Doh ! started eating some dip and totally forgot
also, the only playoff team that cassel has beat is the 7-9 seahawks
No ring for you

Mr. Waters

You mean Lebron Waters
At least he can still claim he's won a playoff game

Poor Tony.

Let me fix this for you friend

Poor Tony Kansas City Chiefs

Heh, that too.
you needed to add..........

fans

this comes down to

Who’s more obnoxious the giants play sub par all year back into the playoffs and then win the whole thing again fuck football I hate the giants and you will too when they pass the pats as the most big mouth team now and there fans

back into the playoffs?

not only did they win their last three to win the division and get to the playoffs, they steamrolled thru whole thing once they got in

no whining!

They won 3 out of 4, but close enough :-)
They still played crappy most of the season, u always defend giants
You tell em!

ALL PRAISE BE TO THE PACKERS!

Go Chiefs!!!!1

Cuz if we went in at 8-8, we would be saying the same DANG THING!

ill tell you what

Saints have no defense pats got no defense san fran had no offense and green bay no defense atlanta no defense giants didn’t face a complete team in the playoffs nor in there run into the playoffs they got the right teams at the right time that’s all that happened

You could say that about any team any year

Every team has some holes. It’s the ones that know how to minimize the problems and mistakes at the right time that win it all. Always has been, always will be.

they also WON

Brady, the elite QB, Rodgers the elite QB, Brees the elite QB … oh yeah, the G-Men with a great defense and a “good enough” offense

yeah but nomatter what

Rodgers brees brady with those horrible defense bit them nomatter how good they play. The giants won cause the best in the league were all one sided teams not one team was good on both sides of the ball and I haven’t seen so many one sided teams in the playoffs since miraculously the giants last super bowl

how many here on AP were ranting about the loss to the Raiders ... the "almost made the playoffs"

I know … it’s ok if WE barely get in but wrong for the Giants

sure, that makes sense ;-)

Agreed, I hate being in nj right now, and gotta deal with the ny fans Tom

Those fans r annoying and arrogant, trust me the pats fans r better…that’s y I don’t understand those rooting for the giants , I guess they haven’t met giant fans

I have a good friend that's a Giants fan

He’s not even remotely arrogant. Very quiet and humble actually.

That's one , I know about 30...25 of them are arrogant
Winning the last two to take the division is hardly backing into the playoffs.
Winning three of your last four games is backing into the playoffs?
So next year can we have somebody else win the Super Bowl?

Someone who doesn’t already have closets full of Lombardi’s?

That would be nice!
Most likely a team with an elite qb and decent defense.

Lord we gotta get peyton…

No

We will see the Pats, Steelers(or Ravens), Packers, 49ers, Giants in the Conference Champ games next year

We will be there as well with Orton as our QB and the story will be how our run started this year when we beat the pack
I'd love that, I think Orton can be that guy for us
whew, glad that's over

bring on the FA & combine!!!

Two Superbowl appearances

Two Superbowl wins. Two Superbowl MVPs…

Where you at, Peyton?

waiting for Canton to call
There is frickin fireworks being blasted for the Giants winning by my house
Lol where do u live? I'm in north jersey
Little place called Hillside...Its next to Newark.
Yea I know where that is, my friend who's a jets fan lives there, I'm in JC so not too far
bleh...jets fan...I bet him and Rex Ryan are sore right now
call the cops and see if they

show up

Actually, they right in front of me although I still think they would take half an hour to get to my house
How does a near middle of the pack team win the super bowl?

With a superior passing game and a superior pass rush. NYG was pretty mediocre statistically this year aside from those two aspects.

For the love of all things holy, could we please get some good QB play next year?

We need a Manning *hint hint*
doubt the Giants will trade him
We will give him an offer he can't refuse.
If the Chiefs ever get to the SB again, I hope they dont run into the Giants

This “Patriot Way” can not defeat it

Now that is a catch.
Border War > Super Bowl
