Did anyone else find this Super Bowl really boring? I like my Super Bowls close, not blowouts.
I would normally agree, but this goes down as my favorite SB of all time. lol
yeah same here i normally don't like blowouts either but i enjoyed this one. I had no preference going in but was rooting for Seattle. I thought it was entertaining watching a dominate game. Safety to start the game Kickoff TD to start the 3td wuarter. Almost had a shutout on the best offensive team of all time.

yeah. it was enjoyable to me only because most of the country assumed the team that got blown out was going to win.....having money on the team administering the ass whupping didn't hurt though. hey oh.
This Seattle team is easily the best Super Bowl Champion of the past decade. 13-3 regular season and a blowout in the Super Bowl against the top offense of all time? Not to mention how young they all are. I'd hate to be a fan of an NFC team the next few years.
Niners fan here and I agree. In fact the Niners of this season could very well be the 2nd best team of the past decade. With the salary cap it's nearly impossible to build a complete team. With cheap QB's the Niners and Hawks have a huge edge. Won't last forever though, once Kapernick and Wilson get paid what they are worth both teams will be in the same boat as the Packers, Broncos and Pats. Love to see defense win in this watered down arena style NFL. '07 Pats and this '13 Broncos teams were soft and got exposed in the Super Bowl. This Hawks defense ranks up there with the all time great ones. Cool to see the great city of Seattle bring home a title after a 30 plus year drought. Especially after the whole Sonics fiasco.
This game ends the debate for me whether Peyton Manning or Tom Brady is better. Tom Brady wins.
The debate is definitely over.
The debate has been over for awhile. Manning is better, Brady's had better teams and coaching.
I'll never understand this "Brady had better teams" argument. Manning's teams have had at least 10 wins every year since 2002 (except that year he was injured). Obviously those were all good teams packed with playmakers on both sides of the ball. From 2003-2009, Manning's Colts teams had at least 12 wins a year. That's not ALL him. And I'm a Dolphins fan that can't stand Brady. But come on...
Seattle looks good against the cap next year too -- they will be up against some decisions the year after but they are going to be tough to beat...young, good & now, experienced. Damn!

manning has had much better offensive weapons throughout his entire career than brady, except maybe 2007.

It's simple. Brady has had better complete teams around him. Good, not great skill players on offense, good offensive lines, good sometimes great defenses and always a great gameplan. Look what the Pats have done since Billy B's ego has taken control...a couple SB losses to a team not in the same realm as that Seahawks team we saw last night.
Manning has had Harrison, Wayne and James and then a bunch of scrubs he's made into studs. On the other side of the ball, they were built to defend against a trailing team, so when that didn't happen they were screwed. Freeney, Mathis and Sanders(for a couple years) were/are great, but again, there's a big dropoff in talent.
Seattle looks good against the cap next year too -- they will be up against some decisions the year after but they are going to be tough to beat...young, good & now, experienced. Damn!
They were incredible. You gotta hand it to them.
Definitely set up for next year. That division is ridiculously sacked, though. Niners will be tough to get by again. Cardinals are on on the rise. Hell, even the Rams are loaded with talent and still have some big draft picks.
It's about flicking time there was a Super Bowl BLOWOUT......all at the expense of the Broncos AGAIN!

No offense, but I disagree with just about your entire premise other than Brady has had the edge with coaching.
There isn't an NFL game for 7 months. I want to cry.
You're not excited for the endless draft speculation, followed by 4 months of non stories made up to keep the NFL in the headlines?
I usually feel the same way the day after the SB, but I've learned that sports media has a way with making me sick of it before too long.
The MLB and NBA off seasons feel shorter b/c they don't have non stories getting forced into the news. The NFL does "great" job of hogging the sports media throughout the year.

Ha, not exactly. I'll pay attention to the draft and free agency but that's about it. The rest of it just a bunch of nonsense like you said. Just sad that there's no football to watch and gamble on for the next 7 months.
Interesting to see the Incognito / Martin texts come out ... it reads like they were pretty friendly with each other. The texts were what I would expect from O-linemen ... crude. And they both like Puss.

I think it took a lot of guts, and I hope things work out for the guy. With the macho culture in football, and asshats like Incognito, I think there is a good chance that there are locker rooms which will be less welcoming than others. So it was probably a smart move by Sam - full disclosure to the teams who might be interested in drafting him. I'm sure every team will say that it is not an issue, but I'm betting there are teams that will now think twice, and that's probably good for Sam. On a personal level I couldn't care less about his sexuality. If the guy is a good player, and a good fit for the team, then I only care about his performance on the field and his behavior in the community.

I agree, my feelings on the situation. In fact if the Patriots get a chance to draft him I hope they do. He looks like he's a player....well at least he's wearing in college a HOFer linebacker number in 52.

I think it's great for him but I'm already tired of hearing about it because just like with any hot news topic, it gets crammed down my throat.

I wouldn't want my team to draft a huge distraction that I fear the first openly gay player will prove to be but I have no issues with him being gay, being in a football game or rooting for him. I will root for him no matter what team he goes to if he continues to handle himself like he has thus far -- seems like a brave guy to stand up and be the poster child for a lot of douchebag hate. A lot of pressure to stand up to, I hope he does well so that this can become more of a non-issue moving forward.
Amazing how much of an issue this is being made of. ESPN has been beating the drums and doing seances for years for gay people to come out in sports so I guess this is a watershed moment for them. I'm so happy for ESPN.
The bigger issue should be on how well he can read the playaction or stuff the 2-gap.
so a few guys are afraid that a gay dude might look at their junk in the shower. big fucking deal. as an athlete you shower with naked dudes all the time. these guys have probably showered with many closeted gay guys their whole athletic lives. just cover yourself if you are that concerned about it. it is not like the guy is going to see it and start immediately masturbating to it or something.

I think it's pretty crazy to think that this is just about football, especially when GMs are saying that the NFL isn't ready for a gay player. For you and most other fans who aren't bigots, sure, it is just about football, but it's pretty naive to think that this is all just about how he can read an offense and get to the qb in the bigge rpicture. It is also a pretty huge moment for a pretty huge group of people.

agree cliff. this isn't like some tebow non story that espn blows out of proportion. this is a huge story. guy has a ton of guts. gotta respect that.
i wish we can just fast forward past these awkward times that lie ahead and get to the point where this isn't a big deal. that will be a long time ahead, unfortunately. so far, at least, you have to be encouraged by the initial reactions though.
