SBXXXVIII Thread. I guess that we need one, Eh?

[maveric]

For those of us that cant venture that far from DU. Even during the game.

Go Pats!!

My prediction: NE - 16, Carolina - 13

[Edge]

1. F*ck the Pats....go Panthers!

I've been turned off by the Pats ever since I saw Tom Brady at the SOTU last month. Made me puke. :puke:

My prediction: Panthers--17, NE--10

[youngred]

4. Come on

He is a strong Dem, but very few people would turn down an invitation to the State of the Union from the President of the US...no matter who it is.

[maveric]

5. I heard that he's a dem too.

He accepted an invitation from Pickles. San Mateo is a strong dem area.

[MaineDem]

16. I heard he was dating a Bush twin

My 80+ mother heard it from somewhere...

Who knows.

[fortyfeetunder]

15. Yeah, but this was the pResident...n/t

[MattNC]

2. GO PANTHERS!

Cats- 24
Pats- 16

[onebigbadwulf]

3. Panthers by 9

[Moderator]

6. kick

:kick:

[trof]

7. I predict Pats, in 4 quarters.

No OT.

[trof]

8. So this one will be known as

Super Bowl Triple-EXX-VEE-Triple-EYE?
WHEW

[ronzo]

9. Panthers by 6

:toast:

[booradleyjr]

10. NASA tribute song

Was that a rip off of "Danny Boy" or is it just me?

[youngred]

70. Just You

Listen to the rest of Josh Groban's music. He's actually pretty good, a classically trained singer.

I hated the dumbass moonman planting the American flag...that was stupid and jingoistic

[KTM]

75. Not just you

Exact same thing my GF said.

[TheDonkey]

11. Patriots have this!!

Man on the moon pregame huh.

[MaineDem]

12. Anyone see the upside down flag?

After the anthem...crowd shot of US flags... at least one was upside down. Hmmmm

[NewHampster]

18. In honor of Columbia maybe?

[Wonk]

13. Did I just see a bunch of people holding their American flags upside down?

The camera passed over them pretty quickly, but that's what it looked like to me.

:shrug:

[fortyfeetunder]

14. Beyonce vs Whitney

Which SSB performance was better?

My vote would go with Beyonce - it was a "warmer" rendition than I recall Whitney's

[rasputin1952]

33. Interesting comparison...

I would have to go with Whitney though. Beyonce did a great job, but Houston had the better voice IMHO. You can add the fact we are involved in war with both of them.

One other thing, the SSB always gets to me, guess it's just the old soldier in me.

O8)

[KTM]

60. Dixie Chicks

Personally, I think the Dixie Chicks rendition of the anthem two years ago was the best I've ever seen.

[NewHampster]

17. Is anyone watching the payper at 1/2

I can't imagine paying for the ligerie bowl

wooooo pats stop first drive

[maveric]

19. Pats defense came out mean!

Stuffed them to 3 and out!

[Tigerlily]

20. Pats are looking good!

:) :) :)

[NewHampster]

21. Gonna be another 1st drive score

Go Pats

[NewHampster]

22. ooops

[TSIAS]

23. I know I'm a few minutes late

But I think the Panthers take this one by a FG.

[GregorStocks]

24. GAAH! Me no see game!

What channel be it on?

[maveric]

25. CBS n/t

[MIMStigator]

26. GO PATS

.

[Rabrrrrrr]

27. What's the score? (no TV, so not watching it)

I'm predicting a Patriots win, 31-17.

Oh, and can someone please describe the best commercials? thanks!

[GregorStocks]

28. Me think Carolina win by 5

And yes, that is strictly speaking possible.

Almost impossible, but possible.

[maveric]

29. No offense so far.

Vinateiri had no business missing that chip-shot!

[Terwilliger]

30. WOOOO HOOO!!!!! BOOOOORRRRRING!!!!!!

;-)

[Rabrrrrrr]

31. So does that mean no one has scored?

[supernova]

32. Nobody's scored yet

Very defensive game so far.

[rasputin1952]

34. Both defenses are AWESOME!

First 1/4 no score. This is gonna be a knock down drag out game!

O8)

[supernova]

35. Chess pieces

Feel like I'm watching chess pieces rather than football players. :crazy:

good game though, :thumbsup: !

[rasputin1952]

36. LOL...hate to be a pawn in this game...

these guys are hitting HARD!

O8)

[supernova]

37. Witherspoon's

not letting anybody by! LOL!

[rasputin1952]

38. Pats 4th and inches...

another measurement......waiting.....waiting.....
here we go....1st down!

[fortyfeetunder]

39. Highly questionable 1st down, I'd say!

He didn't go over the line, glad Panthers are challenging it, but they lost -BOOOO

Edited to express my displeasure

[rasputin1952]

40. Personally, i didn't like the ball placement either.

n/t

[Hokie]

41. Well that call sucked

The runner missed it by a yard at least. Hockule is an idiot.

[maveric]

42. Vinatieri is chokin big time!

I hate to say this but I now feel that the Panthers are gonna win!
OMG!

[rasputin1952]

43. Jeez....

another blown FG!

This may go down as the biggest offensive dud Super Bowl in history!

[rasputin1952]

44. Pats recover sack fumble!

[supernova]

45. Dammit!

:P

[ncrainbowgrrl]

48. Wow. Something's happening.

Running or something. More than helmets grinding against each other. That might have been one of the more interesting plays of the game.

Ok- TD. Never mind

[fortyfeetunder]

46. in the red zone.--yikes!

[rasputin1952]

47. I'd rather have a date with Ann Coulter, than play on

either of these offenses!

[ncrainbowgrrl]

50. Now That's a statement! n/t

[fortyfeetunder]

51. Yes, bbbbbbbut Ras--

How do you know that Ann Coulter isn't on one of those defenses?

[supernova]

52. She ain't ours!

That's for sure. :P

[rasputin1952]

53. Damn!

Never thought of that! :puke:

[rasputin1952]

49. TD Pat's w/ 3:05 left in 1/2

n/t

[bicentennial_baby]

54. "Hello Greenfield Massachusetts"

That was the sign in the end zone! That's my little town!! :bounce:

[rasputin1952]

55. That was one UGLY pass!

That was schoolyard stuff!

But another pass gets them a 1st dn.

[rasputin1952]

56. TD Panthers!

game tied just before half

[supernova]

57. TOUCHDOWN CAROLINA!!

:bounce: YESSSSS!!!!!! :bounce:

[rasputin1952]

58. 52 yd pass for Pats...

might just get om board again!

[rasputin1952]

59. another completion near the 5 yd...

23 sec's to go in half

[rasputin1952]

61. TD Pat pass!

n/t

[rasputin1952]

62. 14/7 Pats

next...Janet Jackson?

[KTM]

63. Grrrrrrr

My Panthers need to do one thing - put Brady's pansy-ass in the dirt, HARD. He cant take a hit - one good sack and this game will turn.

[rasputin1952]

64. This is getting interesting!

5 sec's left to half and Car on the move!

[rasputin1952]

66. 14/10 Pats at half

FG got it closer...thought I might have to go to sleep for 2nd half!

:evilgrin:

[bubblesby2002]

65. Finally, the game is getting interesting.

:bounce: :bounce:

[rasputin1952]

67. Must have benched Ann Coulter...

that would open up the game!

:evilgrin:

[Kamika]

69. lol the loser would get a visit from Ann

Their coaches told em that before the 2nd quarter

[bubblesby2002]

77. LOL

that would be pretty scary

[Kamika]

68. Well it started pretty slow

Picked up though, why is that guy wearing some shaded glass in his helmet?

Carolinas touchdown was great.

[Blue_Chill]

71. This halftime show is all old crap

could've been the halftime show 3 years ago.

[KTM]

72. Seriously

Hey look, there's Janet with her same old schtick... I'll never understand her popularity. How old is this song, anyway ?!?


And Justin ?!?! Ugh. Get your paws off my Cameron, you undeserving little twerp !!!

[rasputin1952]

73. That was the WORST Halftime Show ever...

Not that any of them were ever very good....but for the love of Pete, I need to go bleach my brain!....Give me the farting horse instead!

[Blue_Chill]

74. was that Janet's boob on my screen just now?

I almost spit out my wine.

[rasputin1952]

78. On another thread Skinner came on to ask about the JJ boob show...

told him it could have been worse....Timberlake ripping MJ's Codpiece off at the end!

:evilgrin:

[KTM]

76. Whoa !!

Did someone just drop trou on the field ???
Damn you CBS... we're all adults here... why pull the cameras ?!?

[rasputin1952]

79. Well....back to the game...

hope things pick up for the 2nd half!

[rasputin1952]

80. Thought this was going to be another measurement...

OOOPPS.. it was inches short! 4th down, cowards are to punt

[KTM]

81. Arrrghhh !!!

Where's the payback ?? Put Brady in the damn dirt !!! Peppers, I'm talkin' to you - you know you can do it, make it happen !!! The boy can't take a hit - all you need to do is do it ONCE !!!


While I'm at it, here's some more advice - bench the Panther's Defensive coach !! Who the hell DIDN'T know that was gonna be a pass play on 2nd and 12 ?!?!

Stupidity like that will lose this game.

[rasputin1952]

82. As ridiculous as this sounds...

most of the 3rd quarter wqas missed because of JJ's boob.

Wierd happenings in the game ...holding def, 1/2 the distance to the goal, 1st dn NE

[KTM]

84. What a BS call !!

he didn't turn that reciever - he turned on his own to look at Pansy. What a load of crap.

[rasputin1952]

83. TD Pats 20/10...

w/extra pt good for 21/10 Pats.

[rasputin1952]

85. TD CAR!

on a running play no less...going for 2?

waiting.....waiting.....missed.....21/16 NE leads.

[KTM]

86. Whoooooo-hooo !!!

Run baby, run !!! Been waiting for Foster... everyone's watching Davis..


Crap, missed the conversion... still in it though... just gotta feed Pansy a dirt sandwhich...

[rasputin1952]

87. This is starting to look like a football game...

many different options being taken, and it is looking more like an offensive game.

[rasputin1952]

88. Huge run for Faulk!

1st & goal

[rasputin1952]

89. 3rd & Goal....

waiting....INTERCEPTION BY CAR! in the endzone...out to the 10

[maveric]

90. What the fuck is Brady doing???

He floated that ball into the end zone just like he did against Indy.
If he would have just thrown it away Adam V. would have booted an easy field goal.
That might kill the Pats.

[baby_bear]

91. Can someone tell me what the score was at the end of the 3d quarter?

Was it 21/10 or something else?

thanks

s_m

[KTM]

92. Yes

it was 21-10.

[KTM]

93. Yeeeeeaaaaaaagh !!!!!!!!!!

Brady gave this game away with that GD pick in the end zone!

[rasputin1952]

96. TD CAR!

[rasputin1952]

97. 22/21 Car...

99. Superbowl Record - 85 yd pass

completion Delhomme to Muhammad. Awesome!! :D

Dare I hope?

[Blue_Chill]

98. WOW

THE CARDIAC CATS.

[rasputin1952]

100. Things a re getting wierd again...

2nd & 5...getting into FG range with 5:40 left. Trying to get yds, but avoiding a sack.

[rasputin1952]

[rasputin1952]

102. Flag...

[rasputin1952]

107. CAR on FIRE!

they are driving hard to get a TD!

[rasputin1952]

109. 30 yd pickup by CAR......

this is a great ending....Cardiac Cats is right!

[maveric]

108. If the Pats dont tighten up their secondary....

the score will at least be tied very soon.
Wheres the pass rush??

[rasputin1952]

110. this is a nailbiter!

n/t

[KTM]

111. Whooooooooo-hoooooo !!!!

[fortyfeetunder]

112. Panthers

Where is the fat lady to sing when you need her?

[bubblesby2002]

113. Man this really was a good game at last.

Now overtime for the first time ever. Ya think? or not?

[rasputin1952]

114. TD CAR!!!!

holy crap!

Now what, another 2 pt conv?

Tied Game 29/29!!!!!

[rasputin1952]

115. This si WILD!!!!

1:04 to play, if something spectacular doesn't happen...it's OT!

At Car 47...w :51 left

[rasputin1952]

116. Offense Pass interference!...

Whew!

[maveric]

119. YEEEEEHAAAW!. Oh Oh, 4 seconds left!

C'mon Pats dont fuck it up now!

[Blue_Chill]

120. I guess John Fox did not watch the Bengals vs the 49ers superbowl

If he had he wouldn't have called a Time Out with under 2 minutes to play.

YOU NEVER GIVE THE OTHER TEAM OVER A MINUTE TO BEAT YOU!!!!

[KTM]

121. Well, I gotta say...

Credit has to be given to Brady for displaying the class that Kraft simply does'nt have, and that Bellachek must've just not had a chance for, by giving the Panthers the props they deserve. Kind words from the victor for a team that nearly ended their 15 game streak - that was classy Tom.

Now I guess I can only add one thing...

Rupert, Rupert, Rupert !!!!
