I'm picking the Colts to win and cover, and I'm rooting for the Colts, but for the first time in a while, I like both teams and wouldn't have a problem with either winning.

Rooting for the Colts
But taking the Saints and the points. IMO the spread is too large for this game, and the Saints are actually a decent matchup for Indy… their biggest weakness is run defense, and the Colts don’t really run the ball much outside of the red zone. Offensively, they’re a more balanced team than they get credit for, and the Colts’ greatest strength defensive strength is taking away what the other team does best. I think even if the Colts diminish Brees’ effectiveness, the Saints will be able to run the ball quite effectively.
I think the Colts win by 3. Something like 27-24.
When did the spread go from -4ish for Indy all the way up to -6?
Vegas is in love with Indy…

so yeah, it was 06 when I saw them. They played a huge Endless Wire medley, really. They did manage to kick out all of the standard stuff though, so I was really happy.
Daltrey hasn’t lost a step.

Who needs to hear the hits or else I go home grumpy. I love seeing obscure and/or rarely-played-live tracks. And I love getting new album stuff. But to indulge yourself that much was pretty bad.

I'm still wondering
why the NFL is scared to bring someone recent out. I mean, ya the Justin Timberlake-Janet Jackson fiasco was bad, but still, what are the odds thats gonna happen again?

Part of it is to try and appeal to multiple generations, not just the youngest.
In particular, I’ll bet more people care about the Who who are watching this game than care about whatever I happen to hear on the radio when I turn it on.
but appealing to fans who are already watching the game does little good
attracting the other people should be the goal

Why would thinking everything recent (the would be put into a Super Bowl halftime) sucks?
Who are they going to put out there? Seriously?
Are we going to re-hash Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Jay-Z, or Beyonce? They seem to be on EVERYTHING these days.
Favorite. SB. Performance.
EVER.
I even remember the big screen countdown thing. I still can feel the excitement from the buildup to the SB with Michael Freaking Jackson! It’s kinda nice to be able to go back to a time when he was just a superbig pop star who made good music and was kind of weird.

Pete didn’t seem very into it at the time. Word was Daltrey was short on money, and that was the only reason Townshend did it. He seems to be back into it.

Wish I was alive when Stevie Wonder opened up for the Stones in Ft. Worth, in ’72. You around for that?
'Waiting for a girl and she gets me into fights
Waiting for a girl we get drunk on Friday night'
No, still in elementary school in '72. Would have liked to have seen them with Mick Taylor (their wheelhouse of greatness was '68-76)
I did see the Stones on Halloween ’81 at the Cotton Bowl in a monsoon. I think it rained 3" during their show. The Fabulous Thunderbirds & ZZ Top opened for them.
It was very good because of the elements (and how they overcame) but the sound wasn’t as good back then and there were no video screens. I liked them more in ’89 & ’94 because the presentation (sound & video screens) was much better.
I also saw The Who at the Cotton Bowl in ’82. Steel Breeze & Billy Squier (vomit on each) opened for them. Solid show, the only concert where Pete smashed his guitar but not as good as the 1980 show.

I was at that '94 show, very good.
Had a slight drizzle that night, and they played most of their country tunes- Dead Flowers, Far Away Eyes, Wild Horses, et al. Skipped Bryan Adams as the opening act.
Would’ve loved to seen ZZ Top opening, that’s right after Deguello(greatness). Agree on Mick Taylor, though I do like RWood. The Faces were greatness as well.

Anything to cheer those people up down in New Orleans. Watched a movie this morning that was set in NO before Katrina. Made me sad.
Good movie, though. I don’t remember what it was called but it had Gene Hackman, John Cusack, and Dustin Hoffman in it. Courtroom movie that I’m sure the lawyers here would scoff at.
I'd never seen it.
But I saw it come on this weekend and clicked info to see if was based off the book. Then I realized it was about guns instead of tobacco and changed the channel.

This is the first year in a while I haven't had one.
Was going to in Florida, a big one. I was even in the planning mode with a few friends.
Then I moved from Florida and now I don’t have any friends.
I moved back home.
I liked working for Disney and all, but they wouldn’t give me full-time. I can make more in minimum wage than I did there, I can finish school, and cost of living is lower (and my parents are willing to put us up until we get on our feet here). I miss Orlando a little bit, but this is a better place to be right now.
Better job market, too, despite the fact that I still can’t get one.
I moved to Texas when I was about 6 and lived there for three years.
I didn’t like sports that much then, but we went to a few Rangers games and that got me in to them. Similarly, the passion in the area got me in to the Cowboys, and the Super Bowls that followed helped.
I didn’t get in to sports seriously for a few more years after moving from Texas, but I did care about the Cowboys and Rangers already by that point. That hasn’t changed.
Conversely, since I was impressionable, when people would bad mouth the Mavericks, I thought they actually hated them, rather than being bitter fans. So I ended up not liking the Mavs.
I'm just hungover and can't imagine
drinking right now. I assume the masses will be partying down tonight.

That happened to me once.
Went back to Waco for a friend’s BDay who was still at Baylor. Drank too much, then had to drive back to Dallas and go to my wife’s (then gf) parents’ SB party which was pretty small. As soon I as got in the door, her dad asked me if I wanted a beer, jack and seven or something stronger. I almost threw up on the spot. Longest SB ever!

I feel like in a game I think is evenly matched, playing a hobbled DE instead of a capable healthy DE could cost you.
Freeney better be close to 100%, otherwise, Brock is the better option.
My bet is Freeney only plays on 3rd down.
Much like what Ware did against the Saints.

Notes on the officials.
Scott Green will be the referee for Super Bowl XLIV. Stats on Green from the last three seasons show two tendencies. First, his crew calls offensive holding much less often than average. This is less of an issue for the Super Bowl because the Super Bowl uses an “all-star” crew. The umpire will be the awesomely-named Undrey Wash, and he’s called offensive holding at an average rate over the last couple seasons. However, the second tendency is that Green almost never calls roughing the passer. He’s thrown only seven flags for roughing the passer over the past three seasons, including zero during the entire 2008 season. You may remember him missing a couple of possible roughing the passer situations in the Green Bay-Arizona wild card game, including that facemask on Aaron Rodgers during the fumble that ended the game. This could be bad news for the Colts given Gregg Williams’ promise that the Saints defense will deliver “remember me shots” to Peyton Manning.
Also of note: The three officials in the secondary, Rob Bernatchi, Greg Meyer, and Greg Steed, all worked for crews that were below average in calling defensive pass interference this season.
The Saints (98 penalties, 24th) and Colts (87 penalties, 31st) were both among the least penalized teams in the league this season.
Via FO.
I think what excites me about this game is a very complicated, intricate offense vs. a very plain and simple offense.
Both completely different in how they pass the ball, both extremely successful at it.
BTW, given how the Colts offense is so simple and really works because of the QB. . .
. . . how good of an OC is Tom Moore really?
I really don't see how the Saints,
can stop Garcon, Wayne and Collie.

I don't really see how the Colts can stop Henderson, Shockey and Colston.
I like the Colts in this game (barely), but that situation goes both ways. And I like the Saints secondary a little more. They get exposed because of the insane blitzes of the front 7, but I think they handle the man better than the Colts guys would.
Couldn't agree more, but
I really can’t tell you who I’m going for. I can be happy for either team.

Wow...
I’m surprised by the number of bystanders here who are rooting for the Colts. We’re rooting for the Saints here, though I do agree that Saints fans can be as obnoxious as any other team I know outside of Philly. I think they have a longstanding grudge against the Cowboys since there are lots of Cowboys fans in Louisiana, so that may be where the dislike comes from. Still…Katrina, underdog, Brees, cooler jerseys, etc etc, go Saints!

apparently peyton manning is milquetoast yet X is better? Who is X? Beats me. There are 4 national NFL stars and Peyton is easily the most likeable (Favre would have been there a few years ago but…you know). Who else is there? Bush? Peterson? Tomlinson? They are all much worse.
And Brees. Somehow everybody loves Brees over Peyton except Brees is about as wooden and awkward as they come. his comments after the cowboys loss were just so strange. Not a guy I want to hang out with.
But he took a wrong turn and went down the 9th ward!

I will say I don't dislike drew brees
I think he’s really good at football, I like the fact that he came into new orleans and immediately started donating, but I don’t get this charisma argument.
We're not overexposed to Brees in the same way..
…that we are with Peyton. He has commercials, is the only guy the casual fan knows on the Colts (outside of maybe Freeney, Wayne and…Clark?). With Brees, half of his exposure seems to be him doing service around NOLa which, while certainly self-serving, is much less likely to generate over-exposure bias/hatred.

Reggie Bush. Bush and Shockey are the two reasons I’d root against the Saints…that and their overcelebrating every play on defense. I’d say act like you’ve been there before, but the Saints’ D hasn’t been good in so long, they actually haven’t been there before.

I don't root against Bush.
He does things on the field you don’t see every game, I appreciate it enough.
I root agaisnt him because he's overrated.
He’s not the next LT or Barry Sanders or any of that BS hype he got coming out of college. In fact, it looks like he was breaking rules in college (though this doesn’t really bother me that much…just that I have to keep hearing about it). He’s a guy who has 3-4 great games a year and is generally crap for the rest of them.
I hate the Iggles, but man that hit from the playoffs a few years back was satisfying.

He's not really overrated anymore
I think we all realize what he is, and he does do some special things from time to time.
I think he's overrated by..
..the type of people who think SB weekend is the best weekend of football of the year. And unfortunately, that’s who I’ve had to listen/discuss the game with for the past week.

and the whole katrina thing
the saints are a good football team who made it to the superbowl. And new orleans residents really don’t need a reason to take to the streets and party. i think party people will just have to wait till jazz fest or spring fest or wednesday block party day.
i muddled up what i was trying to say
point is, if the saints don’t win, it won’t be the end of the world for new orleans residents and they’ll soon find something else to celebrate if they want.
Yeah...
..but I do think it’s kind of cool that the hotels in NOLa are all booked because people want to be a part of the Saints SB Championship party. It’s one of the few positive things about bandwagoners I can think of.
If Brad Pitt is playing Beane who do you want playing you?
JD: Eddie Guardado.
I guess
that city really doesn’t need an excuse to party. I remember the LSU/OSU championship game. I was in New Orleans at the time. The lead up to it was all OSU fans on Bourbon Street turning it into a mardi gras but when LSU won, it was just business as usual. They have parties like that pretty much every week.
Obviously, superbowl parties/parades are going to be something else. But it’s not like indianapolis where besides the colts and the 500, they have nothing to celebrate.
Yeah...
but, who’d want to “party” in Indiana? I’ve been to the French Quarter many, many times, and every time it is a completely insane experience. Coupling that with a Saints Super Bowl win. I can’t even fathom the debauchery. I’d pay a good amount of money to be there right now through the end of Mardi Gras as I’m sure it is amazing.

When CBS does the Super Bowl, I expect the worst.
They suck terribly at it.
Though I think ABC’s desire to make the Super Bowl a musical was even worse. I remember when the Bucs won and they had Bon Jovi play a song between every post game speech and award.
I absolutely despise...
CBS’s coverage of the Super Bowl. I hate it when their turn comes up. This year was no exception. They were terrible. The sound during the game was laughable. Just embarrassing. I know a little bit about sound production for events and goodness, I was cringing almost the entire game.

The Saints appear to be flexing in to almost a 3-4 to go after Peyton.
On some analysis sight someone guaranteed they would to counter someone saying Peyton shreds 4-3s. The Saints are far more flexible than a typical 4-3.
Of course, Manning is still moving down the field.
Getting killed over the middle.
It’s so hard to find mistakes in Manning’s game. Every ball seems to be a perfect spiral even on slowmo replay. He does seem to have a little bit of happy feet right now, but the throws are still accurate, so does it even matter?
If Brad Pitt is playing Beane who do you want playing you?
JD: Eddie Guardado.
Yeah, but on the last 3rd down conversion.
His happy feet took him behind his well-formed pocket into a more dangerous place. Not that it matters, his releases the ball so quickly it’s almost a shock to see him get sacked. They gave up 13 sacks all year. Nuts.
If Brad Pitt is playing Beane who do you want playing you?
JD: Eddie Guardado.
I think his biggest weakness, though he's worked on it, is handling motioning defenses with lots of people standing.
Good 3-4s use to absolutely murder him, now they’re merely a difficulty.
He also thinks he can make absolutely every throw and tries to do so. He can’t (though it’s close), and that’s where his mistakes come from. I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t throw at least one pick tonight.
This, of course, is like complaining about one off-colored hair on a super model.
Seems like Peyton is rarely rushed hard...his OL must be great
Ephesians 3:20-21...and I can only imagine
It is.
Why some teams still insist on using heavy, immobile o-linemen I’ll never know.
I’m looking at you, Cowboys.
If you'll notice
The Colts can’t run the ball for shit. You can get away with that if you’ve got Peyton Manning, but hardly anybody else can.

The Colts don't have talented runningbacks or, more importantly, disciplined ones, either.
In the past, they have run well. The Broncos ran brilliantly with the same kind of line.
It’s not because their line is undersized that they can’t run. Give me linemen who can move and zone block any day in today’s NFL.
Then you're also talking about different blocking theories.
The Broncos were the kings of zone blocking. The Cowboys don’t do that.

by Aquaman, Esq. on Feb 7, 2010 5:50 PM CST up reply actions
I know.
They use an antiquated form of blocking in favor of guys who can only get forward pushes, can’t move latterally against a speed rush and tire after too many long drives.
Or wear down D-Lines on 10-play, 8-minute drives.
If Brad Pitt is playing Beane who do you want playing you?
JD: Eddie Guardado.
They're good for one of those drives.
If they need two, Romo is running for his life.
That’s the biggest reason the Giants won in the playoffs in ‘07. It’s also why, for another example, the Raiders in ’02 stood no chance against teams built like the Bucs or Dolphins.
I could not disagree more with your premise.
That teams can’t win with big, powerful O-lines. You want the best O-linemen, generally those are guys who have both size and agility. I mean, Kyle Kosier has agility, but was probably the worst O-Linemen the Cowboys had last year (injured Colombo excluded).
If Brad Pitt is playing Beane who do you want playing you?
JD: Eddie Guardado.
No, they can win.
It’s just more difficult.
Also, yeah, a fatty who can move people is better than a mobile dude who can’t do anything. The Cowboys line doesn’t suck, I’d just like them to move in to this generation. Embrace the Broncos, Colts and Patriots.
You realize that 2 of the final 4
And 5 of the final 8 (maybe 6 depending on what you think of the Saints) teams all have power running O-Lines?
If Brad Pitt is playing Beane who do you want playing you?
JD: Eddie Guardado.
I definitely don't think of the Saints as immobile.
And I don’t think San Diego or Minnesota have particularly good lines. It’s not like having a flawed line isn’t something you can overcome. But, yeah, give me a line built around athleticism first and size second.
Actually, zone blocking isn't as effective...
..as it was in it’s late-90s/early-00’s peak because of the newish chop-block rules. Obviously, it still works to some degree considering that some teams use it, but it’s not like there aren’t good/great power blocking lines out there right now. I mean, look at Dallas, Minnesota, NYJets, SD when healthy, etc…
If Brad Pitt is playing Beane who do you want playing you?
JD: Eddie Guardado.
Meh.
Kind of necessary if you want to run the ball well. The Colts O-line gets overrated because of how quickly Peyton gets rid of the ball. Kind of like the Cowboys O-line gets overrated for it’s pass-rush defense skills because Romo often escapes the first guy.
If Brad Pitt is playing Beane who do you want playing you?
JD: Eddie Guardado.
Ok, maybe not necessary.
But it helps.

Both teams play better in the second half.
I went to FO to see if I could find exactly how much better, but instead I found this:
The Colts have a good chance to get out to a quick early lead, as the Saints ranked dead last in defensive DVOA in the first quarter, then eighth from the second quarter on. (Just ask the Arizona Cardinals about how easy it can be to score on the Saints early.) A big early lead that makes the Saints give up on the run is a problem, but a small early lead is easily made up, and the most likely scenario in this game is for it to stay close to the very end. Both the Colts and Saints ranked among the best teams in the league in late and close situations, on both sides of the ball.
Well with that FG...

I was all prepared to say there have been three teams to win down by 7 at the half.
Then that happened. Those teams were the ’71 Colts (over the Cowboys), the ’82 Redskins and the ’93 Cowboys. I actually remember panicking over the Cowboys that year.
Anyway, those are actually also the only three teams to come back from down by more than three.

I think it was Marshall Faulk before the game that pointed out how disrespected the Colts RBs were before dominating the Bears three years ago.
It was in response to Deion saying the Colts had no one who could run so the run would be useless in this game, no matter how bad the Saints are against it.

That was...
in fact, a FANTASTIC game.
It was 17-16 going into the fourth quarter. There’s been some classic Super Bowls in recent years so maybe some people are getting cynical, but goodness. That’s a top 10 Super Bowl, no doubt. After trading quarters in the first half followed by some shrewd calls by Sean Payton, there was 3 minutes left in the game with the teams within a score. How often do you get to see two great quarterbacks dueling with the Super Bowl coming down to the wire? Historically, almost never. I can’t see how anyone would be bored, really.
by ghostofErikThompson on Feb 7, 2010 9:41 PM CST up reply actions
Yeah, it was definitely a good game.
I just would have liked a more epic finish. The Colts scoring and getting the ball back would have been nice.
I don’t know about top 10, though. Among just Super Bowls I’ve watched live I put it behind Broncos-Packers, Rams-Titans, Patriots-Rams, Patriots-Panthers, Patriots-Giants and Steelers-Cardinals. That’s six, and I put it about on par with (though probably a little ahead of) Pats-Eagles and, if I’m objective, Cowboys-Steelers. Though I didn’t see them live, I’d probably take both Cowboys-Steelers Super Bowls in the 70s over this and probably the second Bengals-49ers (and maybe the first, as well). Oh, and definitely Giants-Bills.
So that’s six Super Bowls I saw that I was more excited during, two I saw that are close, four I’ve seen in replays I’d probably take and a couple more that are close after that. So it might be top 10, and probably is among games I watched live, but I don’t think it’s a definite top 10.
But, no, definitely not bored.
If you compare this to the Super Bowls of the 80s and early 90s, though. . .
. . . it looks like the greatest game of all time.
Seriously, how lame were Super Bowls for 15 years. The only great games were 49ers-Bengals (twice) and Giants-Bills. Dolpins-Redskins was pretty good, but not great.
During that span, the NFC East or 49ers were in the Super Bowl every year but once. Just once. 14 conference titles in a 15 year span split by just five teams. And the AFC wasn’t much better. From 78 to 98, the only AFC teams that went just once was the Chargers, with the Broncos and Steelers accounting for almost half of those. The worst span (again, having only read about and watched these games long after the fact) was from ’86 to ’93 when you had, save for one brief break, the Broncos or Bills winning the conference every year so they could lose to big three of the NFC East or the ’49ers.
Same small group of teams in the Super Bowl every year, and most of them horrific blow outs. I’m glad I wasn’t born in the 70s.
There's still people that I talk to every day that claim to like and watch football...
that will say to me, “THE SUPER BOWL IS THE MOST BORING GAME OF THE YEAR! IT’S ALLLLLLLLLLLLLWAYS A BLOW OUT HA HA HA!” So, after I slide their legs out from under them with a fluid kick to the back of their knees, drop them to the ground, and land an elbow to their throats, I explain that the game has been mind-blowingly awesome for the last 10 to 15 years. Unlike before, when a decent game was abnormal, getting a dud recently has been pretty unusual.

Even with the disparity between the leagues, big time blowouts almost across the board for 15 years had to have been extraordinarily unlikely.
I’ve run in to the same people you speak of, and it’s the climate I came in to when I first started following the league. In ‘97 the Super Bowl was exciting and everyone acted like it was a rarity. Going in to the ’99 Super Bowl there was the talk about how anti-climactic the game was, and then afterwards I vividly remember Stuart Scott saying “to everyone who says the Super Bowl is boring: take that.” And then it seems like a bunch of people just haven’t broken away from the Super Bowl being a bad game every year, even though it was usually good for the first 15 years and has been great for the last 15.
Seriously, the only blow out Super Bowls since the last time the 49ers won have been the Broncos second, the Ravens and the Bucs. The Colts win and the Steelers first win weren’t great games, but they were still pretty competitive most of the way, they weren’t 55-10 stuff. Outside of that, every game has been at least very good and most of them have been among the best Super Bowls ever.
The Cowboys and Steelers rematch from the 70s and need timely turnovers to put them down. The Packers finish one of the better seasons ever, but need an amazing kick returner to separate them from a plucky young Patriots team. Elway finally gets his ring in a back-and-forth affair that went down to the wire. The Rams storybook season looks to be ending in dominating fashion before the Titans furiously come back to tie it, the Rams score in just one play, then the Titans finish a yard short. The Patriots win one of the biggest upsets ever beating one of the greatest teams ever constructed on a last second field goal. At the end of the half and the end of the game, brutal defenses yield to stellar offenses as the Patriots win on another field goal. The next year was the first game ever to be tied going in to the third quarter and was another 3 point win. Then the Steelers overcame the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history with an amazing catch after a long drive in the last minute (and they wouldn’t have without the most amazing defensive play in Super Bowl history at the end of the half).
This year, two stellar quarterbacks play an amazing game that took a risky gamble and a great runback by a defensive back to finally make the difference.
Sorry for the long rambling post. I love the Super Bowl.
You're probably right.
It might be because year after year I’m bitter towards both Super Bowl teams because my team is not in it. lol
And i’m kind of sick of seeing teams we beat win Super Bowls that same season. Lol
And probably because Jim Nantz is absolutely fucking boring to listen to. Gus Johnson needs to be CBS’s #1 guy…I like to hear some emotion.

CBS...
is just shitty at airing Super Bowls. I will agree that CBS did everything they could to turn an exciting game into a snooze-fest.

OC is what matters again.
I was rooting for the Colts, but ah well. The one thing I thought was really stupid was when they stopped the Saints on 4th right before the hhalf, I assumed they were probably going to go right down the field in the 2 minute drill and score, probably a TD. Instead they just gave up with running plays, Saints got the ball back and the FG. Big swing. I blame Caldwell.
Another dumb call was on the 51 FG. That was no mans land and you def go on 4th there. Caldwell again, he’s dumb.
But that last INT was a terrible throw by Peyton.
It was 4th and 12
You kick a FG or punt.

Then punt
but in a playoff in which great kickers missed 40+ kicks,why chance it with a 40 year old? And it’s not like your defense didn’t need the extra 30 yards of space.

In the last 5 seasons, Stover has hit one FG from more than 50 yards.
Probably should have punted.
by Adam J. Morris on Feb 7, 2010 9:20 PM CST up reply actions
One of the biggest calls in this game
was probably that Stover 50+ FG attempt. The guy is like 40+ and he has been awful outside of 40 this year. And you have Peyton Manning. Why do that?

Yup
See above.
Caldwell is an idiot.
Also horrible, although it turned out not to matter, was when the Colts got down to like the 3 with ~1 minute. Peyton ran them up to the line, then some idiot (probably Caldwell) called time for the Colts. Had they scored there, that was huge, they would have had the chance to get the ball back from the Saints on 3 and out with 3 TO’s if the onside kick failed The point was Peyton had the team halfway up to the line anyway, so they wasted an ENORMOUSLY important timeout to save ten seconds. Really dumb.
and that late timeout
that was stoooopid. Tony Dungy is looking like more of a clown outside of coaching than he was while coaching…

I never thought I’d ever see the Saints win a Super Bowl. That gives me hope as a Rangers fan.
As I watched the trophy presentation, I felt proud to be a Louisianian and day-dreamed about the day a trophy would be presented to Chuck Greenberg while red, white, and blue streamers floated down from the Ballpark rafters.
Brees was amazing, but that MVP trophy should be renamed Most Value Person and given to Sean Payton. Largest pair of testicles in Super Bowl history.

I'm happy for the Saints (except that scumbag Tom Benson).
But one thing I’m not looking forward to: the enormous love affair with New Orleans by the media that’s about to occur (and, in a lot of ways, has already started).
What I mean is, let’s not pretend that New Orleans is this unbelievable city. But that’s what we’re about to be told ad nauseum.

Yes it's a wonderful city
Full of criminals. When Katrina displaced them all, it brought a nice crime wave to all neighboring regions of East Texas.
But, NO is politically correct and a liberal cause celebre, like Haiti, a similar garbage dump.
I had known two of my friends entered a contest to submit a commercial for the Super Bowl.
What I didn’t know was they won by designing the anti-bark collar.
And with that...
they’re up for $1 Million dollars if they place first in USA Today’s Ad Meter. http://www.crashthesuperbowl.com/#/contestinfo So that’s kind of awesome.
Though, I didn’t really like that ad, no offensive to your pals. The Doritos ad with the kid slapping the dude who was after his mom was probably the best one from these contestants. Although, slapping people kind of became the theme, like monkeys or talking babies of previous years, of this year’s Super Bowl ads.

On occasion he actually talked about the Rangers back then. Imagine that.

Hah
You’re all newbies compared to me. I used to post with AJM and some other core old timers on the ESPN Rangers board before this blog existed..
Who else
Oldtimers from the ESPN boards I can remember:
Ed Coffin, Chase971 (or something like that), cstorm, Zywica,
Pretty sure Cahill was one.
Maybe another old timer can chime it with some more detailed ESPN board history, who came in when and such.
I did, in fact, post on the ESPN boards back then.
Only in ‘04 and ’05 during the season, and not that often. I didn’t post enough to remember anyone’s names.
My eventual discovery of LSB was completely unrelated, in fact.
So, you've been here since 2005.
I asked, rather than looking up, in part so you’d be aware of this fact. And apparently you are.
You’ve been here this long and only now realized that this site does not have emoticons?
Duh
I’m just saying, people write the :wub on another board, and I just picked up on it.
Sometimes on some gaming boards I go to, people will write out the emoticon rather than posting it, like “funnypicture.gif”. Rather than posting the actual pic.
Yeah that’s right, I’m using cross-board words.
No I understand
You think I actually thought the emoticon was going to show up on this board or something. You dont get it and you’re stupid.
I don't think I have to be a Colts fan. . .
. . . to know this is probably the dumbest girl on SBN. She went back to the Saints blog to cry about how the Colts fans treated her and was supported by one other dumb girl and no one else.
Cowboys beat the Saints ass
Remember that?
In retrospect, maybe the Cowboys season was something we can build and improve on this year. We’re in the NFC elite mix imo, with Phlly, NO, and Minnesota.
Seems like
Romo is going to end up like Danny White, a good QB who never got over the top.
Thats the way it LOOKS, anyway. :sad <—- for Philkid
Saints won the SB
With their leading rusher in the game being Pierre Thomas with a whopping 9 carries for 30 yards.
But all those Dallas armchair OC’s are so right when they call all the postgame shows whining about how the solution to all the Cowboys offensive woes is to just run it every down.
Nice straw man you've constructed there.
Because we all know that Romo = Brees, and would absolutely go 20-23 during the second and third quarters, leading his team to victory all by himself.
Or it could be that, at times this year, Dallas had a very good running game which opened up the passing game, and some people wanted to see more emphasis put on that aspect.
You’re totally right, though, this one game absolutely translates to a different team playing other different teams in different weeks of the season (read: not the Super Bowl). Totally the same thing.
Gracchus (about Obama): I think he knows what America is. America is the mob. Conjure money for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they'll roar. The beating heart of America is not the paper of the Constitution, it's the power of the media. He'll bring them debt - and they will love him for it.

Nobody runs the ball in the NFL anymore
It’s a non-entity. Especially amongst the top tier teams. Both SB teams ran the ball around 18 times total in the game. This isn’t new or unusual. Other teams that dont run the ball: all of them. In the NFC, GB, AZ, Philly, NO, Minnesota ran a little, but not in the playoffs.
Who runs the ball anymore? NOBODY.
And yeah, Romo is trash! The Cowboys should act like the Jets because he’s equivalent to Mark Sanchez. You are so right. It’s so obvious.
Dallas needs to run the ball less, not more.
Actually, it’s about running the ball at the right times and more effectively, not more. The Dallas delay game is crap anyway, I dont compare it to a traditional running game.
Short-term memory much?
Last year, Pittsburgh won the SB last year and beat Baltimore in the AFC Championship game. Oh yeah, and Tennessee and the NYGiants were the No.1 seeds in the AFC and NFC and they were quarterbacked by Kerry Collins and Eli Manning. NYJ were the best running team in the league this year, the Cowboys and Vikings were pretty good at it as well (despite Peterson’s fumbling issues). Also, the Saints have an underrated rushing attack, they just didn’t use it much against the Colts.
Dallas needs a better O-line. They’re getting old (Flo will be 35 next year!), get over-rated in pass protection because of Romo’s agility, and are having trouble running their power schemes (especially to the left). I’m glad Free got significant playing time this year. I hope they draft an OG/OT with their first pick and let the draftee and Free challenge (and hopefully beat out) Kosier and Flo. It’s difficult because they are average to above average linemen…but the Cowboys will have to go through some very good D-lines next year to get where they want to go (Minny, NYG, Colts, Philly, etc).
If Brad Pitt is playing Beane who do you want playing you?
JD: Eddie Guardado.
So uh...
who’s worse at predicting game outcomes? Bill Simmons or Tony Dungy?
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
