This Super Bowl sucks.

By

Aren’t you supposed to have the Super Bowl where there’s nice weather?

Bears 92 yards passing. Yuck. Grossman with two awful looking throws for interceptions. Quack quack.

Fumbles of wet footballs at the line of scrimmage. Lame.

Hoping without hope for an Alcoa FANTASTIC FINISH …

  2. It started sucking two weeks ago when the Patriots lost. But seriously, I am happy for Dungy and Manning, they’ve worked long and hard for this, they deserve it.

  3. As a Bears fan, I say that the whole thing sucked.  Peyton Manning reminds me of the kind of high school jock who had other kids do his bullying for him.  And what do I base that on?  The fact that he beat my team.  Don’t tell me it’s not rational.

  5. This year’s weather will result in plenty of hand wringing and backroom discussions by important and wealthy people who got wet. Within five years, the game will be played in a bubble (not even a dome), grass will be replaced with super soft, glassy-smooth carpet and players will take the field in synthetic, motor-aided suits.

    Within ten years, the game will no longer be played by actual human beings, as a study will indicate that the rate of injury during football games is 18% higher than when players are sitting quietly in the locker room eating tofu.

    Financial studies will also show that eliminating football related discussions in the workplace will result in a 4% increase in productivity, leading to the call for football “prohibition” within 15 years.

    In twenty years, a conservative think tank will decry large gatherings of people having fun as a a prime opportunity for terrorists to strike. They will call for a new doctrine of individual isolationism for anyone not attending approved religious services, government (re)education seminars or ceremonies to celebrate Dear Leader.

    I used to hope they’d play cold weather football games or at least play on actual grass. But people are now complaining about a game played in a consistent pouring rain despite the fact that not a sigle smear of dirt soiled the lily-white uniforms of the Colts. I’m losing hope.

  6. Giving it to Manning was absurd. Granted, he had a good game, but not the way that Rhodes and Addai did. One of them should have gotten it.

    • Addai and Rhodes, that is, as Nantz and Simms suggested towards the end of the game yesterday.

      Still, the conventional “wisdom” seems to be that when in doubt give it to the guy who runs the offense, i.e., the QB.

      I seem to recall thinking that Tom Brady got an MVP in either XXXVI or XXXVIII that in my estimation (FWIW) should have gone to someone else. (Vinatieri possibly?)

      • On Manny over Foulke as MVP of the ’04 World Series. (Yes, I realize this is a bit off topic.)

        Basically, the whole thing is a bit of a sham. (Although, IMHO, they got it right last year with Hines Ward.)

    • …and never heard the results of THAT vote.  Grossman is one of the worst QB’s in football (sorry, but I WATCHED where if he had run STRAIGHT AHEAD instead of back and forth, he’s have had a first down!) and Manning should have beat him by 20+ points!  Peyton did NOT have a good game – but Addai DID.

  7. I thought that the game conditions were going to help the Bears, but if your QB is Grossman, you need more help than rain.
    Hats off to the Colts; they came back and beat the Pats and then the Bears, so they certainly earned it.

    One thing that cracks me up though, is the ‘Praise Jesus’ chorus from the Colts owners, players, coaches & ballboys.

    Did the Bears not pray hard enough, or maybe to the wrong ” God”? They have a player named Mushin Muhammed, which probably didn’t help their chances.

    When the St. Louis Rams won Superbowl XXXIV, the storyline was how QB Kurt Warner made it to the mountaintop after years of struggling, and according to him (and his wife), Jesus was the reason for his success.
    Two years later, the upstart Patriots (with Jewish owners!) beat the Rams in Superbowl XXXVI, and suddenly Jesus wasn’t available in the Rams post game locker room. I’m always amazed at how Jesus picks the winners. 

  8. Aren’t you supposed to have the Super Bowl where there’s nice weather?

    Even the Superbowl isn’t immune from global climate change!  Do you think this crossed the mind of any of those well-heeled folks as they were getting wet? 

  9. What’s up with the NFL putting their logo on the Snickers website and having their players make gratuitous phobic comments while watching their phobic ad?  One ad ending advocates for violence.  What’s wrong with these people – football not manly enough, they have to smear the queers to prove themselves?  FU*ckin disgusting.

    • Come on.  It is just a commercial that most of the country found a little humorous.  In fact, it was poking fun and the overly macho bullsh!t.

      There are so many things to get really mad about if homosexual equality is your issue and you are tilting at windmills with this one.

      • Put NFL’s stamp of approval on making light of bashing you and yours, and i’ll wager you’ll feel differently about it.

        Did you go to the Snickers webiste and look for yourself?  It was embedded in the above link.  It is one thing to spend gazillions on an ad premiced on homophobia (bad enough), but it is another for the whole NFL to place their brand on the candy website and have their players show they are in the mindset that a mere touching of chocolaty lips is cause for utter disgust.  THink about that.

        I think they actually could have made a totally humerous commercial that laughed at the overly-macho bullsh!t, but they didn’t.  THey wnet for the kick to the queer head. 

        • Homosexual situations are funny and disturbing to straight guys.  Get over it!

          No matter how much you complain about it and blow things out of proportion, we will continue to make fun of our friends by calling them “fag”, “homo”, “queer” etc. and laugh at things like this commercial and “gay chicken”.

          People make fun of the groups I belong to all the time.  I’m a Mic-Polark.  I don’t get offended when people call Irish drunks or say they have small penises or say Polish are stupid.  I laugh at some of those jokes, they’re funny.

          The homosexual community thinks some of the “gay” stereo types are funny too.  Just look at some of the shows on LOGO or Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. 

          • advocate violence against “Mics”?  Are whole organizations like the NFL and Roman Catholic Church dedicated to demeaning “Mics”?  Are “Mics” bashed (including by police) for the fact of being “Mics”?  C’mon JK, you can do better than that.  Open your eyes.  All “jokes” are not equal, and aren;t told for the same reasons.

            • Today? No, but in the past, you bet your A$$.  Does the term “Irish need not apply” mean anything to you?  It does to me and my family that lived through that time period.  And we didn’t overcome those situations by bitching about it.

              And here is one of the most important parts of this, you can tell who is Irish by looking at them.  If a homosexual doesn’t tell me, either by words or acting in stereotypical ways, I don’t know they are a homosexual.

              • And we didn’t overcome those situations by bitching about it.

                How did you overcome the situation?

                you can tell who is Irish by looking at them.

                Seriously?  How?
