I don't like either team
but I don’t need to see yet another Patriots Super Bowl victory.

I’ve already taken Excedrin PM (it has the strongest effect on me). Now, the fun begins. How long will the SB keep me awake?

Hi all!
I don’t have a rooting interest in this game, but I hate the Pats, so go Giants.

Lamentations 3:22-23
by threadkiller on Feb 5, 2012 5:23 PM CST via mobile reply actions
I'm at work, but saw that the game was going to be streamed on NBCSports.com
with multiple camera angles.
So, though I don’t care about the game, or either team, I figured I might as well watch
I am picking the Pats. I’ve seen a lot of people in St. Louis referencing that they hate the Pats. Can’t figure out why? The 2001 Super Bowl?
Rational Mizzou Talk, whether you like us or not.
People everywhere dislike the Pats...
They’re just very unlikeable. I can’t stand Tom Brady or Bill Belichick.

Belichick videotaping the opposing team's practice be a reason?
I actually like Belichick a lot because he never gives the media anything to stir up. But many people dislike him.

Dislike is one way of putting it...
A known cheater like that should be banned from football for life. Worse than anything Pete Rose ever did.
Who told anyone...
that Sasha Baren Cohen (or however you spell it) is funny?
“The Dictator” will probably be less funny than “Jack and Jill”. I don’t understand how movies like that make any money. Who finds them funny? Who would pay money to go spend 2 hours like that?
Loved Ali G the first few times I watched it
But, I didn’t watch many episodes, and I can easily see how it would get old pretty quickly.
Didn’t find Borat funny at all.

Ah.. the NFL Hall Of Fame
Is it because I didn’t grow up watching Football, or is it ridiculously easy to get into? I never recognize more than 1 or 2 names in a 6 or 7 person class.

Who don’t you recognize from this class? This is a very, very strong class.
Jack Butler, Dermontti Dawson
I recognize the name Cortez Kennedy, but couldn’t tell you anything about him.
Rational Mizzou Talk, whether you like us or not.
Dermontti Dawson defines what a Center should be like in football
He was like a LT playing Center. Just an absolute rock and brick wall. Started every game for Pittsburgh from 1989-1998. Obviously it’s hard to have stats as a lineman, but he was All-Pro 6 times and a Pro Bowler like 8 or 9.
Cortez Kennedy is one of the best pass-rushing defensive tackles ever, and certainly of the last 20+ years. On some bad, bad Seattle teams of the late 80s and early 90s, he was their entire defense. Double-teamed, triple-teamed, it didn’t matter. Multiple all-pros and pro bowls, brutally disruptive force in the middle and didn’t miss a game for almost a decade.
Now Jack Butler…yeah, no idea. I’m guessing he’s one of the old-timers that got voted in.
No kidding
When Will Shields is left off the final ballot, you know it’s strong.

New England Conspiring Against Me
I have 5, 0 and 9, 6! If Mayo defends that pass to Cruz the Giants kick a field goal to go up 5-0 at the end of the first, then New England goes into the end zone with eight seconds left to go up 10-9 instead of down 9-6. I should be up a few hundy.

Maybe somebody with a little more knowledge of the rules can help me out here.
Why isn’t 12 men on the field a dead-ball penalty? If the defense is allowed to put extra men on the field and essentially run 12 seconds off the clock, why don’t defenses put 16 men on the field in late game situations like that?
I’m known as a bit of a dreamer!
Because the 12th man can still run off the field.

That makes sense.
But I still feel like this is a huge loop hole in the rules and if I were the Giants I would have put extra men on the field again for the next play. Give the Patriots five more yards but make damn sure that they eat up some clock and don’t complete a pass. Hell … just throw the entire sidelines onto the field.
I’m known as a bit of a dreamer!
I know the game can't END on a defensive penalty
But they sure could have eaten up everything BUT the last second.
I’m known as a bit of a dreamer!
same reason offsides isn't
You’re giving the offense a chance to succeed anyway, and the worst-case scenario is they will gain 5 yards with the clock stopped. If the offense can succeed even with the defense having too many men on the field, more power to them.
Anybody else feel like
this game was a big let down following last nights game!
