As far as the Super Bowl goes, I say let the two best teams go at it on a fair playing field. Pristine conditions. No elements.

Hence why I think giving Super Bowl 48 to the New York City area was a stupid idea. At least the Colts' home had a retractable roof, just in case, for SB 46.

I think we all know this experiment is going to backfire royally, but it's something the NFL had to eventually try. I just hope that the elements don't cause a team to lose, or else we're gonna hear about it for years to come -- kinda like those Seahawk fans who come around each February. :rolleyes:

Come on now, you know Cujo uses ripping people on the boards as a way to boost his ego. Let him have his moment.

What's this, the third time in the last several months you've tried to bait me into some drama? Time to move on, hoss.

Yes, because I despise you with every ounce of my soul. My world is nothing without attempting to bait you. Or every post you make is whining about something. Either/or.

Moving on. #kaepernickisuglybutsinceididntsayitfirstimjustcopyingcujo.

Over the last 12 seasons (since Super Bowl XXXVI), 11 teams will have represented the NFC in the Super Bowl.

In that same time, only four teams have repped the AFC (NE, PIT, IND, OAK). Should Baltimore win next Sunday, that would make five.

NFC Champions since 2001:

Rams

Buccaneers

Panthers

Eagles

Seahawks

Bears

Giants

Cardinals

Saints

Packers

Giants

49ers or Falcons

Here's what I noticed: what is it with CBS and hosting the dynasty eras of the NFL? They got the majority of the dominant NFC era of the 1980s and early 90s, then is reaping the current AFC domination by the Steelers, Pats, Ravens and Colts right now.

EDIT:nevermind

Not me. The elements are what makes this game.

If you want to watch games played in air conditioning, that's what arena football is for.

I don't get the joke.

But to the other point, yeah, playing the Super Bowl in a New York winter seems like a really dumb idea to me, but it could look cool at least. I'm going to Wrestlemania at New Giants Stadium this year in April, and am not feeling too optimistic about the weather holding out. But again, the visuals might be neat.

My condensed thoughts on these games:

Packers/49ers:

  • Kaerpernick is fun to watch. He was jacked up as hell but outside of the early pick had some great ball placement.
  • Frank Gore, when healthy, is a demon. Just pure brutality on every carry.

Broncos/Ravens:

  • Joe Flacco isn't elite.
  • It's weird seeing Peyton Manning suck, but I enjoyed it.
  • Pussified coaching at the end of the regulation by John Fox.

Patriots/Texans:

  • When/why did Matt Schaub's balls fall off?
  • I don't feel bad for Gronk. He'll spend his recovery time using his good arm to dap bros, spank strippers and pop ping collars while bathing himself in money.
  • The Patriots are Packers-like in their absurd quality of depth, but it's such a tiresome schtick to see Random McPlayer churned out of the BeliSystem every year. /randomargument

Falcons/Seahawks:

  • Sherman's "He Crazy" hand-motion is thankfully ne'er to be seen again in these playoffs.
  • Matt Ryan can throw a deep ball.
  • Beast Mode only half-earns his nickname when he fumbles like a bitch.

Edit: I'm sure it's been posted here before, but here's Joe Flacco's legendary acting skills hard at work. Move over, Mr. Manning.

They...lost the NFC contract to Fox and later got the AFC contract from NBC? You're making something out of nothing here.

Agreed; can't beat the element of a lovely, sunny day.

THIS.

@jayfeely

It's actually against the NFL rules to kick a practice ball in overtime on the field. Had ref's tell me that twice this yr

If you missed it, Ravens kicker Justin Tucker practiced a field goal between overtime periods. The Ravens should've been marched 15 yards back after that stunt. His kick would've been 60+ yards, and probably wouldn't even had been attempted.

THIS. NOT a penalty.

Re: Ravens fan - if he went that crazy over a 1 yard touchdown run in the 3rd quarter, then the Jacoby Jones touchdown probably gave him a massive hemorrhage.

Re: Sharks fan - you friggen suck, admiral. Because that's exactly where my mind went as well. Since I was beaten to the punch, however, I'll just post the inferior version of that kid flipping out after their Game 1 loss.

Eat your friggen hearts out, Ducks fans. You're team helped draw these reactions.

Fake EDIT - that said, you didn't post the version that shows that guy in a prolonged state of crying :lol: .

There's a distinct lunatic fringe to Sharks fandom. I've brought it up before and no one listened. If Doug Wilson gives a quarter to a homeless person, they'll go on message boards and make comic strips about how great The Sharks Organization is.

Why is this person being filmed? These reaction videos are fun but scary. That poor kid.

These are fake as hell. They know full well there's a camera there. It's no different then the infamous World of Warcraft freakout "hidden cam" video from a few years ago where the kid tried to shove the remote control up his ass in his fit of rage.

Aaaaaaand of course, he's a Sharks fan. Normally, I'd just consider that you taking (yet another) jab at Sharks fans, but it's so sadly spot on. I don't know what it is about that team that just enrages even the most calm and level headed of people. I remember absolutely destroying a chair after they lost to Detroit in 07, and my first thought was, "What the HELL am I doing? That was my favorite chair! And I only have a slightly mild interest in Hockey!" They're like that one chick you meet who isn't all that pretty, and basically kinda sucks, but for whatever reason, she just shatters your heart. You know you'll get over it and wonder why the :censored: you even bothered to care for such a nutty bitch in the first place, but at the time it just PISSES YOU OFF SO MUCH.
