I thought the Green Bay Packers were going to win and they just got toasted by the NY Giants. Now I think maybe the Patriots will win but I hate them so I will not vote for them. Hopefully it will be Baltimore or NY… I am going to vote for the Ravens I guess.

I have no care whatsoever about sports… But I see numbers. O.O
Buuuut. I don’t know what the numbers are for. Soooo…
I was just as surprised as you on the Giants win. But they did play better than the Packers and deserve the win. Kudos to the defensive line.
I also hate the Patriots. No. Not hate. Despise!?? maybe? Is there a stronger word? Vomit on the hoodie of the coach Belichick…?
So that all said, I’m voting for the team that truly deserves to win, the
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP….
And @ Dr. Ralph. How do you know 236 users? You were cheating off of Puck’s paper again weren’t you?!!
Patriots for the win
Cait the numbers are the ratings for the top 25 TV shows last week… NFL playoffs are 1 and 2. It has nothing to do with who will win.
Yeah vomit on the hoodie of the cheater Belichick. I am down with that sentiment. He actually had his hoodie up last night it was so cold. Even Tebow and Jesus combined were not good enough to defeat him though…
Goodfella are you really pulling for the Pats? I know you are from Philly do you usually cheer for the Eagles or do you even pay attention to professional football?
And no I was not cheating off of Puck You. I even went through my friends at Christmas and viewed all their profiles and erased everyone who had not posted in the last 6 months.
So goodfella and zbrow vote for New England already.

Ha! Take that Dr. Ralph!
Crap on the Patriots. If the Ravens don’t beat them I hope NY does.

Lets have a bet….. if your team wins, I will change my name to snowdrop for a week. If my team wins, you change your avatar to the patriots logo for a day XD
Didn’t I do the bet thing last year? I am not changing my avatar to the Patriots logo no matter what. Boooooo New England Tom Brady come out of the closet.

oh now really, that’s hardly mature XD
Thanks for the invite, but I’m not one of sports. Although I don’t mind throwing a party with some good food, anyways!
Ohh, come on….. I hate Eli Manning, so what if the Pats lose i have him as my avatar for a month, to go along with what sonicboom said. This doubles your potential profit without adding any risk.
If they play like the ” All Blacks ” Rugby i go for……The Ravens to win.

lol ^^
I, ah, don’t follow football. I had no idea there was a superbowl coming up. I’ve rarely been a fan of watching other people do things, only in doing things myself. And football has been fun to play from time to time, but only a few times ^^ I subscribe to a different hobby during the superbowl…
http://xkcd.com/60/
I’m pulling for New England. But I wished Green Bay wouldn’t have dropped the ball today against the Giants. :/
No pun intended.
Uh, I’m in Australia and I don’t really follow NFL largely because, apart from anything else, its never aired. Although I did watch the Super Bowl once because it was actually broadcast on free-to-air TV and I was curious. The NY Giants are the one team I’ve actually heard of so I’m gonna go for them.
What is NFL Superbowl Poll?

i didt even know this thing was happening. make a vote anyway, who knows? :P
Hey, I’m British! what do I care about such things? I will vote anyway:)
Im hopeing the ravens win. I’ve never liked the niners and I think tom brady and the pats would actually lose defensively but thats just my opinion
Well how did this become the most popular post? Simply amazing…
All right who is in on this bet? Zbrow and Sonicboom? Sonic will become Snowdrop (her favorite character from Watership Down) and Zbrow will become Eli Manning if the Patriots lose. How about that deal? If the Patriots win I will change my avatar to their logo. https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/ima…
Or I could just be Tom Brady… http://bostonist.com/attachments/aust…
ravens
and not the whole world… a lot hate our version of football

deal. and if we both lose?
Well see you misread the fine print… we can’t both lose. If the Patriots lose I win no matter what. And you already said deal no tap backs.
Maybe the superbowl can be like Miss America this year and all the teams can go stand behind the Denver Broncos and they can get back in the running. Otherwise, who cares who wins.
I saw that Miss America thing. It was really strange this year wasn’t it? I think the whole world was freaking out on the Broncos defeating the Steelers, especially when you look at the statistics. First of all Tebow has drawn a lot of flack because he used to always have the Bible verse John 3:16 written under his eyes and for praying after touchdowns. Then in the upset over the Steelers he threw for 316 yards and averaged 31.6 yards per pass and the Nielson Ratings for the game were 31.6… :0
In a poll right after the game 42% of Americans felt God or some kind of divine intervention had something to do with the success of his team. People were posting pictures of them self “Tebowing” or kneeling down in prayer.

Really? I thought that that only applied to me? Okay fine, have it your way. I have complete faith that the Pats will win!…..but then again, i also had faith in the lions….
Dani the Ravens really looked good this weekend. They are mean and strong and I love Ray Lewis. Everyone in the NFL is scared of him and for good reason. “Following a Super Bowl XXXIV party in Atlanta on January 31, 2000, a fight broke out between Lewis and another group of people, resulting in the stabbing deaths of Jacinth Baker and Richard Lollar. Lewis and two companions, Reginald Oakley and Joseph Sweeting, were questioned by Atlanta police, and eleven days later the three men were indicted on murder and aggravated assault charges. The white suit Lewis was wearing the night of the killings has never been found. Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard alleged that the bloodstained suit was dumped in a garbage bin outside a fast food restaurant…”
Yet he is still the leader of the Ravens even though he settled a civil lawsuit by the family of the dead man for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Not cool. All effects of the bet are to take place as soon as possible after the game is over and last at least one week unless otherwise specified.
Also- Snowdrop would be a cool name, in my opinion.

tsk, such a negative attitude…
Why do people keep saying that??? I used to be known as the most positive person everywhere… .Maybe it’s my lack of smiley faces and haha’s… O.o
Aaaaaanyway. What if I joined you in the bet? If Patriots win I’ll make MY name Snowdrop for a week. :P
Or I can just disappear from this post since I don’t even care. O.o Haha.

K, you’re in it now! lol, find a loophole in that. Be changin’ your name soon cause the Pats are gonna win it all! :b
Actually Cait there is a lot of history in trying to get Sonicboom to change her name to Snowdrop… she hates it and she had a poll on her new name years ago and I invited 300 people and told them to vote for Snowdrop and she lost and never changed her name… she claimed I cheated then too. The more things change the more they stay the same.
Cait you can be Snowdrop too if you want, I guess. I thought it was a pretty name.

not cheating raplhy dear, but that time snowdrop was not an option, so any vote for it were invalid. there was no win or lose, you just trolled the hell out of my post XD
Ah. I think it’s a great name!
And by the sounds of it, you owe Ralph a name change anyway!!

God I just can’t stand the Patriots Lol! Mainly because everyone my area is a Patriots/Red Sox fan, and I just HAVE to go against it all. But, also because they’re a pack of cheaters, they shouldn’t have won any Superbowls. I have nothing against Brady he’s a great QB and I knew he was better than Tebow (he was all hype anyway). I just have a problem with Bellicheat.

I can understand your resentment a little bit. However, since you live in the right area, if you were to become a Patriot’s fan and go to a football game once in a while, I bet you’d LOVE it.
Yeah, I don’t know how the Patriot’s are cheaters, either. Please, do tell.

maybe they are just really good and he says they cheat out of resentment? seems a bit childish tho
I stopped caring about who wins the Superbowl 3 days ago, when the Saints lost to the 49ers. I’ll probably still watch it, but just for the commercials. Maybe I’ll record it on the DVR so I can run it through the slow parts.
No the Patriots were making illegal tapes of the other team practicing right before the game. Before the game the teams run through their first ten or twenty plays so they are all on the same page. Everyone is banned from the stadium while they are doing this. Bill Belichick secretly taped the practices and knew what the other teams were going to do and ended up winning three Superbowls in four years before he got caught.
They gave him a slap on the wrist and a small fine and burned all the tapes. He should have been kicked out of the league and burned at the stake, or at least had his Superbowls taken away from him.
He has not won a Superbowl since they caught him cheating…

HOLY MOLY I VOTED FOR A CHEATING SCOUNDREL!!! can I change my vote? i feel dirty now…
Actually they fined him a half a million dollars and took away his first round draft pick the next year, but supposedly the man who owns Kraft foods and owns the team paid for Bellicheat’s fine. Kraft probably makes a half a million a day just selling mayonnaise and cheese…

yeesh. gotta wonder about some people…
Its a serious contender of a super bowl run for the giants.. they got the plays and the players. there is no room for hope :P if there is.. then my money is prob lost on either baltimore or SF. but since money is involved.. .. I feel that my faith(in giants)works better than hope. Remember Ryree’s helmet catch!lol!

But they are evil bastards!!!! and i was naive!! noooooo……
Don’t feel bad, most billionaires are evil bastards. It comes with the territory. The owner of the 49ers got busted bribing the Governor of Louisiana $400,000 to get a riverboat gamboling license and was fined a million dollars.
The NY Giants were founded in 1925 with an investment of $500…. they are now worth $895 million. They are on the up and up.
The Baltimore Ravens are owned by Steve Bisciotti who started a staffing business for the aerospace community in his basement the year he graduated from college and made $1.5 million the first year… he is clean as a whistle.
Go Giants, go Ravens!
aww man… why couldn’t i have voted fr the ravens. ravens are way cooler :(
Come on! Do i have any allies now?
If I change to support the ravens and the ravens lose I’ll still make my name snowdrop for a week. but only if ralph says it’s ok, if not i’ll have to stick to the patretards and deal with it… :P
Hey on the bright side Steven Tyler the lead singer for Aerosmith and now judge on American Idol is going to sing the National Anthem before the Pats Ravens game. He’s from Boston so I am guessing he is a Patriots fan…

I wonder what percentage of American’s think the Patriots made a deal with the devil to be doing so well year after year. Stupid Belichick…
The kickoff is in five minutes. I am counting on
Ray Lewis to break Tom Brady’s neck… Ravens over Patriots 28-24…. Steven Tyler is butchering the National Anthem right now with his stupid Patriots shirt on.
Tied up 3 to 3. They have both kicked a field goal… 2nd quarter just started.
GO RAVENS!!!!
Patriots just scored a touchdown 5 minutes into the 2nd quarter…crap. Got to get off to cheer for Baltimore.
Third Quarter. 2:08 left. Ravens lead by a point; 17-16.
Just increased the lead to 20-16.
New England fu**wads just took the lead again; 23-20.
sooo people really do still watch this stuff? i thought it was a fad that would die after a few years… like yoyos or tie dye, or three’s company jokes
Patriots 23. Baltimore 20.
****-it…
Strange how they called back two Ravens interceptions on some really controversial penalties. I think the Pats had the deck stacked. Ohhhh well the next Star Spangled Banner is being sung to see who will meet New England in Indianapolis.
Elk Lodge #584 Panthers….
Much better 2nd game. We are all tied 17 to 17. 4 minutes left.
OT….
New York Giants 20. San Francisco 49ers 17.
Giants to face Patriots in Super Bowl two weeks from today.
Anything but the Patriots. So I guess I’m rooting for the Giants again too.
well, there goes any interest I had in this year’s superbowl. :(
I wish I knew a thing or two about Football before choosing to vote for the patriots. But they’re doing ok so far… Boo :( This time I don’t want to win.

You know, i’m sure they would take offense to this. Just because Belichek’s an idiot doesn’t mean you can tsk the whole team.
So it’s Patriots vs Giants on Sunday after the next? Am I getting this right? :O
What were the final scores for each game? I’d watch for myself but I’m too busy with schoolwork to bother. Also I don’t watch sports.
The Patriots beat the Ravens 23-20. The Ravens had an easy 32 yard field goal with no time left to tie the game at 23 and go into overtime but their kicker missed. Professional football players are not supposed to miss 32 yard field goals. He probably lost a multimillion dollar job because of it.
Yes the Giants and Patriots will play in the Superbowl again. The Giants beat the Patriots in the Superbowl three years ago. The Patriots were heavy favorites and were not supposed to lose. They did.
This game is supposed to be their chance to get revenge on the Giants so they will really be psyched up. Unfortunately for them the Giants quarterback Eli Manning is playing better than he ever has in his life and if he has another game like the one last Sunday the Patriots will lose again and you will forever be known as Snowdrop…. hee hee hee.
Oh and the Giants won their game in overtime 20-17. The 49ers defense was incredible but not good enough to send them to the championship.
Thanks for the low-down. I never know anything about sports so this really helps :P So this is a bit like a re-match for the patriots and giants then eh? Intense!
You might want to give me a smack followed by a Picard Face Palm, but what is a 32 yard field goal?
There are goal posts at each end of the field. If you kick the ball inside the posts of the goal you get 3 points. Here is a video of a 61 yard field goal. 32 is supposed to be a gimme…
So THAT’S where the “foot” in American football comes in. I get it :P But yeah, that should be easy for a pro… he must have felt stunned. Poor guy… that really sucks.
I was hoping the ravens rove over the Patoots, its a shame btw u should see the face on the kicker after he missed. Football is about miracles under immense pressure.. Like with the Tyree catch that led the giants to overtime. Eli was bound to be Sacked but he managed to wither his way out to throw a ball Into the hands that was saved by the reciever’s(tyree) helmet. sigh.. so many emotions that day.

Okay further thoughts on the Superbowl. The New England Patriots got caught making illegal tapes of other teams and it was a big scandal since the Patriots had won three of the last four championships at the time. That was 7 years ago and they have not won crap since…
This is a chance to redeem themselves and show the world that they really are a great team not just a bunch of scheming lowlife scum. I want them to lose so bad it is not even funny.
I like the 49ers; have for years. But I truly believe that the Giants are the much better team and stand a much greater chance of winning than would the 49ers if they were in it. Go Giants!!
“Listen — this is what it takes to kick a field goal. You run onto the field, you get set up, you kick the ball. Most of the time, if you’re a professional kicker, you kick the thing through the uprights and your team gets three points. Sometimes there’s a bad snap, other times there’s a bad hold, and sometimes you just plain miss.
That’s it.
The Ravens, though, in the wake of their 23-20 AFC Championship Game loss to New England, would like you to believe otherwise. They’d like you to believe that not knowing the down of a play earlier in the drive can lead you to miss a kick, they’d like you to believe that the ticking clock was out of their control and worst of all, they’d like you to believe that a scoreboard error was part of some funny business done on purpose by the cheating Patriots, who just can’t help themselves but cheat all the time.
“I don’t think you can rule anything out in New England, can you?” Ravens kicking consultant Randy Brown told a Baltimore radio station when asked if he suspected the Patriots intentionally altered the scoreboard to gain an advantage.
For background, kicker Billy Cundiff, who shanked the would-be game-tying field goal, said that his pre-kick routine was disturbed because the Gillette Stadium scoreboard had the wrong down on the screen. On second down, it said first down, and on third down, it said second down. So when fourth down rolled around, Cundiff only thought it was third down. He had to rush on the field, and he told a Deadspin correspondent that the confusion contributed to the horrendous kick.”
I loved Joe Montana he was so cool. He didn’t even look like a football player and he won four Superbowls for the 49ers. Everybody loved them. http://cache.deadspin.com/assets/imag…

This all might be true… But excuse me last time I checked wasn’t the Baltimore Ravens a “Professional Football franchise of the the National Football League?! That excuse might have been ok in high school but Come On..!!!
Any excuse is good when you are the kicking coach and kicker who blew a Superbowl visit. It is better than “can we please keep our jobs?” Especially when you lose to those cheating cheaters Bellicheat cheat cheat. Dammit girl get your mind right… it’s all about hating the Patriots. You only have 8 days, 19 hours, 44 minutes, and 10 seconds… http://www.nfl.com/superbowl/46
Theokritus all the wayyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!
Learn your classic greek literature!
i’ve no idea but i’m watchin it for the sake of finger food :D
It’s all about the party. It is the one football game a year everyone is obligated to watch. If not for the sake of food and drinks, then for the awesome commercials alone.
I’ll admit. I went in to see the commercials a couple times. But they weren’t anything special to me, so…
Oh come on… http://storyful.com/stories/1000020257
5 days, 20 hours, 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
Huh?
Who? Where? What are you huh-ing? My link is an advance showing of 5 Superbowl commercials. The game starts in 5 days, 20 hours,…..
Ohhhhhh. Gotcha. I thought that was a response to me. So I thought you were telling me to go check it out and when I did I couldn’t figure out what the time meant… I gave up trying to decipher the secret message and decided to just come, “Huh?” to you. :P
They are new and long and they have famous people in them. Companies spend a fortune on them and they have hundreds of millions of people watching so they try to put their best foot forward.
Las Vegas came out with the odds today to bet. The Patriots are favored by 3 points.

uh oh…. :O
The New York Giants
So, this is the weekend, eh? What time does the game start and when will ti likely be over? Just so I know when to check in for the scores :P
Probably won’t be over til 10 or so. It’s always around there.
6:30 Eastern time zone 3:30 Pacific time. It will be over in less than 4 hours. Kelly Clarkson is singing the National Anthem and Madonna is going to put on the half time show.
Tomorrow afternoon is it. Tom Brady’s wife sent a text message to her friends asking them to pray for “Tommy” and it was passed on to the media… hahaha. LOSER.
He makes $20 million a year and his wife made $39 million last year, they have already been given looks and talent and everything else God can give. I think I can find someone else who needs help from above a little more then those two. Pray for world peace and the hungry, not the Patriots.
Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert are going to sing “America the Beautiful” tomorrow. I expect it to be better than the national anthem. GO GIANTS!!!!!!
Whitney Houston sang one of the best National Anthems ever before a Superbowl…
tomorrow’s the day!! cant wait to see whether i have to be a weeklong snowdrop or not. XD
Odds are still for the Patriots by 3. It is really a toss up. All the experts are picking NY but the money likes New England. Kickoff in 6 hours!

I’ve got the beer and wings ready, Go Giants!
Should be a good close game. Have fun Doc :)
We have beer and hamburgers and refried beans with melted cheese on them and Mexican style chips to dip in the beans and cheese. Cookies, snacks, buffet and beer!
Thanks Eddieee! Go New York Giants! Cheaters should never win.

*passing the plate of bbq baby back ribs*
Save me some…!!!
I wonder why they removed my reply , but hey it’s O.K. , I didn’t say anything out of line , I guess somebody thought I did , I think all I did was say he was a wise A– , excuse me , or maybe he ’s got pull . Everybody enjoy except for the person who …………..well you know who u are…………………….. It ’s over 2 weeks ago , I’m not sure what I said , come on I’ll buy you a drink and you can root for your team and I’ll drink coke and root for mine …….lol
I am sorry I do not know anything about “NFL Superbowl Poll”, however I love BBQ’s
21-17 Giants. 4 seconds left. If the Pats win I’m ******** my drawers.
I’m normally a redskins fan but by proximity, I was rooting for the giants.
Suck it, Brady!

Good call Araz…. Since the game is already OVER!!!!
LOL
Lol, better to post late than never right? ;)
I swear I was rooting for the giants the whole time though! Lol.
I know it’s a bit late, but I was going for Giants, however in my defense, I don’t normally watch football.
I don’t have TV. Anything I should know, that people will think I’m from another planet if I know nothing about?
that’s alright dolphins. there’s always next year…
Hey sorry Goodfella, it is all in the name of the game. Apparently the powers that be do not understand that we are supposed to have a good old feud when it comes to sports. That’s what makes it so much fun! I will pull for your Eagles next year as my Colts are probably going to be at the bottom of their division once again. I do not see Peyton Manning coming back, and without him we suck.
At least his brother is doing something! Anyone but the Patriots is my mantra. Hooray for Eli!!!!
