Schefter reporting torn ligament in Dwight Freeneys ankle--making it very unlikely he plays now. They got him sleeping in a hyberbaric chamber to see if it can heal in time
Thats a huge boost for Brees, and could completely change how much time he has to deliver the ball. This game just got a lot closer
You never heard of Raheem Brock?
so youre saying one end that is less effective than the other is the same as having two? cmon now

"Six months ago, Hank Baskett thought he might be in the Super Bowl as an Eagle."
so not only does he suck as a wr, hes not bright either.
superbowl will have at least one 80+ yard touchdown

Quoteundecided just days before the draft, they (Colts) actually posed a simple question to each of the quarterbacks: If we were to make you the No. 1 overall pick, what's the first thing you would do?
Manning briefly mulled the question over before telling the Colts he would request their playbook so he could immediately dive into learning it. Leaf listened to the question and told the Colts he would head to Las Vegas to party. And for all the intensive scouting and film work they had done, the Colts had their answer.
Are the Saints really that much of an underdog here? I mean they were basically just as good as the Colts all year. I want the Saints to win. Brees deserves a Super Bowl.

mussa is consistently one of the most underrated posters here. hes stupid on a reese/cole/munson level but its more of a weird/funny stupid than a god awful human being/insult to humanity level like the three headed monster of aborted babies are.

this is the first super bowl in years where i really don't have any reason to root for one team more than the other. i'm about as neutral as anything on this one. so all i'm really rooting for is for each team to put on a good show. lots of offense, a little bit of defense, scores in the 30's and a tight game with 2 min left.
the only thing i really don't want to see is for a game featuring 2 of the best qb's in the league to come down to a field goal. gw td passes only please.
i'm also rooting for my liver as sunday is going to be an uphill battle for the little guy.
I'd rather see win by safety in double OT.
Final 2-0
In fact, that's my official prediction.
Since I need to make up the $20 I lost to T-Hawk, I'll bet you the same $20 that that doesn't happen.
Both high caliber offenses. Who holds the edge defensively? I thought the Saints made a ton of plays this year on D, didn't hear much about the Colts D.
I'd say both defenses are middle of the pack; maybe an edge to the Colts
the lebron/howard commercial for mickey's was money.
good god, sean peyton with some terrible play calling around the goal line. what an idiot.
it's also ok to go to the bathroom or grab a beer during commercial breaks during the super bowls now because the commercials officially suck ass.
These commercials are atrocious, Lame o! The bud Light Lost take off was the only one remotely funny.

Betty White was pretty good. As was Stevie Wonder just playing "punch buggy".
so far, the best commercial was easily the lebron/howard commercial and that one came on before the game.
Quote from: NC_Eagle on February 07, 2010, 08:27:06 PM

made more sense than any of his playcalls at the goal line in the first half.
wow. manning throws a pick 6 and this game is pretty much over now.
Manning has three minutes to prove he's god. Was that on Manning or Wayne?
wasn't really on either of them. i'd say it was a smart play on the corner knowing that since the saints were blitzing that manning had to get rid of the ball, which allowed him to jump that pass.
I didn't expect the Saints to win. I gave them zero chance. Good game by them.
Wow.
that was one of the dumbest super bowls i've ever seen. i pretty much hated everything about it. the game was boring, the commercials were the worst ever and the half time show was painful at first and slowly worked it's way up to almost tolerable.
At least get a shot of Kardashian with her shirt off.
The commercials always farging blow it's just every year people seem to convince themselves that last year the commercials were good. They weren't.
People hate commercials all but one day of the year. Why does the Superbowl make it any different. When have commercials ever been funny or clever? All they do is take you out of the football game.
It was a bad Super Bowl, but it was better than the Steelers/Seahawks one.
Got a chuckle out of the screaming chickens commercial with the (silent) chicken in space.
Overall good game, but Sgt PSN was right that it seemed boring for such a close game. (thought we'd get overtime there until the Pick 6) Probably because both offenses barely ran so the clock didn't run down fast, and the passing was largely rink and dink on both sides.
Some good news, no worms were harmed in this Super Bowl!!
got a chuckle out of Baskett muffing the on sides kick
I won $100 on a block pool. Great game.
winning 100 for easy = jackpot lotto
solid game. best commercial was the letterman/leno one.
Wait, why was this a bad superbowl? It was a one-point game in the fourth quarter? You're all idiots.

For a 1 point 4th quarter game it felt boring. Just kind of lumbered on.

Perhaps I should regale the board with every detail of my life from where I live to the jobs I'm applying to to my roommates' drug proclivities. Or maybe you should just kill yourself.
I'm to lazy to post a poll but just out of curiosity, how many other people wouldn't mind seeing the Philadelphia region destroyed in a natural catastrophe if it meant the Eagles would win a SB within 5 years?

you're probably too young to remember because you have to go back about 15 years, but a staple of the super bowl used to be very funny and creative commercials. ever since, they've been on a steady decline to the point where there's maybe 1 really good commercial, a bunch of normal commercials that don't put any effort into it and then about 5 t0 7 that put a lot of effort into being memorable and fail miserably.
I guess I have higher standards.

it was a curious at best pathetic at worst route....it wasnt even that he cut it short he just couldnt get to his spot in time because for some unexplainable reason he did 15 stutter steps before going into his cut...that being said it still would have at the very least been broken up by the corner
and i agree for it being a close game in the 4th and a good amount pts put up it was an extremely boring game...and this is because there were no big offensive plays...brees and manning are so friggin accuaret that they can go a whole game with just pinpoiinting 5-12 yard outs slants and flat routes...and thats pretty much what happened...saints especially seemed to run the same three plays the entire game

Why is everyone so surprised the Saints won? Both teams were about even offensively and I thought the Saints had the upper hand on D. Turns out they did. If it wasn't for Peytons freakish accuracy and Addai, this wasn't even a game. Sean Payton is a real coach, and as much as I hate how much he's owned Reid, ya gotta respect what they did at half-time. They came out firing and never looked back. I thought it was a pretty good game, it was close all the way til the pick 6.

That game sucked. And watching yet another team win before the Eagles sucked even harder.

that was my only real reason for wanting the colts to win. i didn't have a preference of one team over the other. in fact, from a football fan standpoint, i find both teams fun to watch because they're so good and the don't have any players that i can really hate on.
but the fact that another team that is historically horrible has won a sb before the eagles is a bitter pill to swallow.
at this point, my only hope is that the eagles win one before any of the more recent expansion teams do.....jags, panthers and browns.
QuoteThe Nielson Co. said today that Super Bowl XLIV was the most-watched program in American television history.
According to Nielson, 106.5 million people watched the Saints beat the Colts. That surpasses the previous record of 105.97 million viewers by the finale of M*A*S*H.
Also, Kendra is the new Jessica Simpson
with population increases its not the highest rating ever (a rating is essentially the percentage of the country thats watching)
but still impressive. any combo of cowboys/favre/giants vs. pats/steelers/manning will get into the 110's or 120's
thank you.
i can only think of 4 commercials yesterday that i really enjoyed.
lebron vs howard: mikey d's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmrTDZy3f2M) - my personal fave.
keep yo hands off my mama: doritos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJDLws_l3Ok&feature=related)
brett favre 2020 nfl mvp: hyundai (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SkaahxAgQE)
stevie wonder punch dub: volkswagon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixJsneSXnA4)
the google one was cool but nothing fancy. betty white snickers was decent.
massive failures were every coke commercial, every bud/bud light commercial except for the human bridge...pretty good.
etrade talking babies (enough already, it wasn't funny to begin with), the intel commercial with the robot, the doritos commercial with the dog, the charles barkley taco bell commercial, godaddy.com commercials....not only are the super bowl commercials retarded but i actually logged on to their website the watch the full version. i wish i hadn't. denny's with their stupid farging chicken commercials were horrible, although i'm pretty sure they turned on thawk. so good for him.
emerald nuts has a long standing tradition of making horrible commercials and they lowered the bar even more this year by teaming up with pop secret.
oh well, better luck next year.

11 colts fans showed up at the indy airport to welcome the team home. they weren't allowed within 100ft of the players.
I can't believe that 11 people fit in the Indianapolis airport.
i cant believe they have an airport in indianapolis
Let's not go crazy here. Browsnville has an airport for god's sake.
But Brownsville doesn't have Jews.

in a thousand years the jews of Brownsville will look upon mds as their own little Abraham
