Super Bowl

Will the GOAT win number 6, or will the Rams get revenge for the loss in 2002 that started the Patriots juggernaut?

GO GOAT!

I'm pretty apathetic about this one, although I'll always pick against the Patriots just to be a contrarian.

This might be recency bias, but it seems to me that the officiating has been more dreadful than usual this year. That missed PI call in the NFC game was a joke.

It blows my mind no flag was thrown. You could have called either PI or Helmet to Helmet. Unbelievable.

Patriots of course.

2 possible penalties in the NFC game, and neither was called. Awful.

I just read that Suh plays for the Rams. I don't trust him at all. If he gets anywhere Brady, he's going to try something dirty.
I can't believe his still in the league. But then again, this the NFL. So yes I can.

you also neglected to mention faceguarding, so there were 3 opportunities for penalty on that one play. i will not be watching the superbowl

Good point. 3 options and they missed them all. Terrible.

Are you part of the group of Saints fans suing the NFL?

of course not, I live in the real world. that is simply a publicity stunt by a couple of lawyers to get free press, has zero chance of success, and a waste of time. and, if for some reason some court is dumb enough to actually not throw it out, the NFL likely will come after the plaintiffs for their legal fees. who wants to be on the hook for that? not me.

It can be (and has been) debated whether #12 is a goat. It cannot be debated that rams are goats.

Logic prevails, and so will the usurpers of the NFC.

And Go Saints(' lawyers)!!!

TB 12, did you get the NFL's written permission to use the name "Super Bowl" for your thread title?

<--- Is tired of seeing/hearing commercials referring to the "big game"

Does anyone know if there are any TVs on sale right now?

Where are the Saint lawyers; I want to sue the commericals. The game is the same size as all the other games it is not bigger.

i wish they would sue them because yet another mediocre musical act is planned...you know who would be awesome for halftime? Al Yankovich, that's who...and teaming up with Weezer...that may make me at least interested in the 1/2-time show...

Waits for the NFL to hire Ted Wells to investigate my trademark infringement.

I hope you will not be too deflated if he does not call

I would need to gauge the pressure put on me to stop using the word.

You can't argue with science.

Scientific proof that the Patriots are a bunch of cheating cheaters

Ironically, the Saints got cheated before getting the chance to play the cheaters. Hmmmmm, maybe some more research is needed to determine how the Cheatriots were involved in that no call...

Is any one putting money on if Suh stomps on Toms arm or face during the game? The amazing thing is the Rams have really controlled his bad behavior this year but I the Super Bowl with all this attention I can't see the old Suh not coming out to "play"

I am glad we can finally put this to rest as now there is proof

<-----wishes there was a way to block threads completely like there is newsfeeds on FB....haters gonna hate....we're used to it, comical at this point.

Ed, you must be proud of your son.

I had nothing to do with this post and have never been to Lexington, Kentucky

The kid did win the science fair

science denier!

Unfriend!!! Oh wait, that's FB.

i heard the only thing more boring than the game was the patriots fans going on and on about how great they are...

Sounded like Aretha did an outstanding job and so did the Thunderbirds....kinda wish I'd watched that one part!

so did Aretha, considering that she has been dead for about 4 months now.

Gladys really belted it out. Awesome job.

Funny how I didn't see any Patriots fans come on here and go on and on about anything. I know I personally haven't gloated anywhere in any social media or personal encounters. Where was all these fans at that were going on and on?

And by the way, were you at the Saints parade yesterday? Thought that was a really cool thing to happen.

Nobody is talking about Hekker setting a record for longest punt, and I'm kind of upset by that!

I did read in the media that Edleman was not deserving of the MVP. Who was better in that game?

That's the problem... nobody really was. I guess you could argue the Pat's RB Sony Michel deserved it (94 rush, 1 TD), but Edelman went for 141 yards so I guess you gotta give it to him... Nobody played well though. It was a miserable game. Honestly, if Hekker had played better he could've been in the argument.

How many Super Bowl WINS is that now for the Pats?

5 or 6.

Was sort of wondering if they were ahead of the Steelers now....i believe the Steelers have 5.

you may have a different social media feed than me, as i am seeing plenty...

had other plans so did not make any of the roving street parties held in NOLA, but yes, we know how to throw a party...any excuse to have a parade, and we're all over it

Isnt that true of all players on both teams except Edelman?

Ha ha

Plain snooze fest last night. At least the Bud Knight is dead and Game of Thrones is 2 short months away.

Glad i missed it then...i intended to do my normal thing--tune in for last 4-5 minutes of it...but i missed even that. I tuned in with 4 seconds left.

OOps..yeah...blonde moment. !

Nope, the Steelers and the Pats both have 6 Superbowl wins now.

6 teams have won 57% of all superbowls. (30 of 53)

6 wins - Patriots and Steelers
5 wins - 49ers & Cowboys
4 wins - Packers & Giants

Thanks...i think i forgot that Cowher won one.

Depending who you talk to (especially where I'm from), they may tell you that Cowher actually won two Super Bowls. One as Head Coach and one two years after he retired with a team/coaching staff that he built but with Mike Tomlin as head coach. The more I've seen Tomlin coach, the more inclined I am to believe this.

I can vividly remember the 4 Super Bowls that Chuck Noll won...i was a big Steelers fan as a kid. The other two...well...i vaguely remember one of them....i think.

Packers 4, plus the 9 league championships before the formally recognized 'super bowl'. I believe the Pats still need a few more wins to capture this record.

oh JJ, you are so silly...don't you know we don't include anything of statistical merit or value unless it helps the cause of the Patriots? Kind of like how Oklahoma still thinks they are the greatest football team ever in NCAA ranks...

Or how Happy thinks bicycling is a sport.

To be fair, OU holds a record that no one else has come close to. (47 consecutive wins)

oh RJ - i don't think that. I know it!

Well, for the record: i think Alabama is the greatest college football program of all time. I just think OU is miles ahead of the LSU's of the world.

a whole lot of teams ahead of LSU right now...

Not the most exciting SuperBowl, but a W is a W. The D was fantastic.

"The Office" Enough said.

I could have supported either Stephon Gilmore or Dont'a Hightower for MVP, but I'm also OK with Edelman as the choice. The Patriots defense played a terrific game. Over the entirety of the post-season, my MVP vote would go to the Patriots offensive line.

We're working on it. Just need Belichick and Brady to stay around for a few more years.

Brady is still around... in Tampa.

When is it?

Defense wins championships. Who knew?

Were there any good commercials? I had the came on mute most of the time.

Not many, but I laughed out loud at the M&M's commercial with people handing out M&Ms to other people to say they're sorry. My favorites:

* Guy comes out of the confessional booth, opens the door to the priest, hands in the M&M's and says "sorry you had to hear all that."

* Woman hands M&M's to another woman and says "Sorry for calling you Karen." Other woman: "But my name is Karen." First woman hands her another bag of M&Ms "Sorry your name is Karen."
