And the agony of defeat.
question: i just got home but, am i the only one that thinks the Ravens receiver was starting to spike the ball when he lost possession in the end-zone on the next to the last play of the game???
Giants win.
You want anything done, ask a Scotsman to do it.
Oh, goody! Another Pats-Giants SB, just like 4 years ago. I’m quickly starting to believe the games are rigged. Look what happened a week ago. We are to believe that the Packers high power offense disintegrated to the point where it would have a difficult time scoring against a high school team. We are to believe Mike McCarthy was suddenly incompetent enough to call a timeout at the end of the 1st half so the Giants would have another chance to score. We are to believe that with almost half the defense smothering a Giants receiver, they couldn’t keep the ball from him. We are to believe that McCarthy is actually stupid enough to hit the panic button to start the second half with an onside kick. All this against a barely over 500 team. Yeah, right. The high muck-a-mucks wanted a big market team in the SB, so thats what we get.
Well of course the NFL would want a major market team in the Super Bowl. After all, if it was say Kansas City against Minnesota - who would want to see that snoozefest?
Ratings for the SB have proven to be immune to the relative market of the teams. It’s the SB, ratings vary, but they never tank. There’s no reason to rig anything.
The Crows certainly choked on the Big One.
When they pay you those millions, you have to learn to hang on to the football until the ref signals TD.
For once I'd like to see the Giants win a game in which the other team actually played well, but I guess that's part of their success. Whenever a good team is playing crappy, expect the Giants to be there to suck up a win.
I think that to be a Giants fan, you have to be either a Jersey Shore reject with a fake tan, or a Wall Street yuppie type with a nasty coke habit. I don't think there's an in between.
Maybe the Giants go down in flames.
All hail Tom Brady, the best ever.
MAY the Giants go down in flames.
I was temporarily hindered by the typing skills of your average Giants fan (a.k.a. an idiot).
I don’t think he was trying to spike, but I can’t believe they did not at least look at it in slo mo. I thought there was a shot that it was actually a reception.
i thought he had the ball tooo... but it looked to me like he just started to raise the ball for a spike when it got knocked loose i'd love to see it again in slo-mo
Ray Lewis
Lewis clearly mouthed “Praise Allah! Praise Allah” during the presentation of the U.S. National Anthem at the Ravens-Patriot 2013 play-off game.
The camera zoomed in on his face for a long time, and the mouthing was clear.
Here’s some history about Ray that the media would like us to forget:
“It was Monday, Jan. 31, 2000, in Atlanta, hours after the city hosted an otherwise-successful Super Bowl, when Lewis’ life became unusual. At 10:22 a.m. that morning, a detective from Atlanta’s homicide unit interviewed Lewis in suburban Norcross, Ga., about the murders of Richard Lollar, 24, and Jacinth Baker, 21. The two had died from stab wounds inflicted in a melee about 100 steps away at the Cobalt Lounge, a popular nightclub in Atlanta’s Buckhead district.
A limousine carrying Lewis and several others was spotted fleeing the scene. Its driver, Duane Fasset, was later found and placed Lewis at the scene. Bullets riddled the limo. Blood stained its interior.
Lewis evaded the detective’s questions. He promised to cooperate with the murder investigation only after returning from Hawaii a week later. Lewis had a Pro Bowl to play in. Atlanta police arrested Lewis hours later. They charged him, and two men named Reginald Oakley and Joseph Sweeting, with murder. Reports say Lewis sobbed as police took him away.
On June 5, Lewis struck a plea bargain with prosecutors. He agreed to testify against Oakley and Sweeting and plead guilty to a count of obstruction of justice in exchange his murder and aggravated assault charges be dropped. During the trial, several witnesses changed on the stand the accounts they first told investigators. Oakley and Sweeting were acquitted.”
Yep. I want both teams to lose, since I loathe the beautiful city by the bay that they have turned into a degenerate cesspool. I visited many, many times in my youth. It needs about a 9.5 on the Richter, then start over.
