SUPER BOWL XLVI DISCUSSION THREAD - Patriots v Giants

espn ^ | 2-5-12

I’ll be Tebowing all day that this is the last Super Bowl with a marxist muslim in charge of destroying the country.

Forty five degrees, sunny and just a beautiful early February day. I just heard a west coaster whining that is was bad weather, LOL

The inside of my refrigerator is about 45 degrees.

Southern California at 12 noon is 77 degrees, unlimited visibility, clear blue skies, the islands look as though you can reach out and touch them, with a mild off shore breeze...

[dforest]

Well, I guess that beats here. All you need is a team that can win.

My hubby and I were rooting for the 49’ers, but whoever we pick usually loses. LOL

However, on this side of the country it is 55 now and what we consider terrific for early February.

I would trade places if there weren’t so many dumb assed libs taxing people to death out there!.

[Boston Blackie]

I never put much stock in the "home team". I realize that the local team does not really reflect upon my hometown - unless of course, that team was entirely comprised of players and coaches from my hometown.

That's why God created High School football.

[dragnet2]

Looks like it will be about 42 near game time.

Enjoy your um...warm weather!

[caveat emptor]

I looked at the TV listings just now . . . the dang Pregame show is longer then the game itself!

The only Super Bowl Sunday schedule you’ll need

12:00 p.m. NBC’s broadcast is coming to you live from Indianapolis, which means we begin with Bob Costas trying to: (a) argue that Indianapolis is a great place and that the game is somehow more meaningful for being there; and (b) keep a straight face

12:32 p.m. First shot of Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski walking on his injured ankle. Will he play? Will he be effective? Fortunately, we have six hours to listen to people come up with ever more inventive ways to say “maybe.”

etc.

Thanks, I will! It is normally in the 20’s and 30’s this time of year.

Last year at this time we had a major ice storm that dropped about 3 inches of nasty ice on us. We had to use pick axes to clear things. Ice melt couldn’t even clear it.

So you can see why I think this weather is really great.

I guess you take what you can get and be glad.

The owners of the Giants are Republican donors and so is the Manning family.

In his post-Nevada caucus speech, Newt Gingrich picked the Giants. I happen to agree with his choice. I'll take a team led by Eli Manning, a well-mannered, Southern-bred quarterback any day over an arrogant Tom Brady.

Go Pats!!

[NormsRevenge]

Stubhub down to 600 tix.
Kind of fun to watch the total offered vs. time left.

—

so, how long is the line of folks with smartphones standing next to the ticket offices?

what was the cheapest ticket.. 300? 75? I’d pay 20. :-)

[the OlLine Rebel]

Hey Titanic fan!

I agree. Does anyone know whatever happened to the woman Brady screwed and the (poor) child he sired?

He’s a scum. Never mind how arrogant he is and overbearing with his teammates.

[NormsRevenge]

wow..

Prediction: A talentless M. Louis Ciccone will look like the bottom of your foot in HD.

[NormsRevenge]

I’m gonna see it just fine in my recliner , what for the price of the cable today.. a couple bucks or so , I reckun.. and the beer is cold and the pizza is hot!

We’ll have to listen for the announcers to say it’s Sold Out!

I hope they gave more than a few to Veterans.

[NormsRevenge]

Two-Peat Today, Tom?

Bless You, Eli.

[nascarnation]

Most of the attendees are “one percenters”

The local regional airports are clogged with private jet parking.

The good news is Obama’s staying home, LOL.

[NormsRevenge]

That looks like a Joaquin Phoenix look-alike to me.. Drink!

Bob Costas and a chat with Madonna coming up.. oh joy..

Time to prep the brisket..

[discostu]

Here here. Mixing your politics and your entertainment is a mistake. Entertainment is there for you to have a life OUTSIDE the day to day grind which includes politics.

So I’m guessing those Pats fans that found this regular season disappointing have changed their tune in the last month.
