Super Bowl - Page 5

Starscream · 02-08-2010, 05:44 AM

A lot of conspiracy theories going around today saying that the Superbowl was scripted.

ESPN put up an article saying the Saints won before the game was even played (yesterday morning).
The Who performed at Who Dat's championship game.
Peyton was payed off by people in his hometown and threw the interception on purpose.
The media latches on to a feel good story of the year and pulls some strings to get The Saints a victory.

One thing that surprised me and really made me disappointed in Peyton Manning was his leaving the sidelines for the locker room before the final seconds were off the clock.

You would have thought he would be gracious enough to at least shake hands with Brees and tell him "good game."

Now. About Manning. He is a Hall of Fame QB in waiting. He has the one Superbowl ring already. But here is something most people don't know about him and post-season football - and I know this because he was playing high school football down here the same times my two sons were playing - he hasn't won that many "championships."

As a starter at his high school he lead his team to the playoffs three times. Never won a state championship.

As a starter at Tennessee he never won a national championship.

In the NFL he only has one.

He is still a great quarterback.

Speaking off betting, what was the over/under on how many times Daltry's voice cracked? That was just painful to watch.

When Pinball Wizard was wrapping up, mercifully early, my jaw was on the floor.
I could not believe what I was seeing or hearing. Thankfully they managed to rock it from there through the end.

Cheers to the Saints, the game went exactly as i had predicted. They would get down by two scores
in the 1st, come back to tie in the second, add some points in the 3rd and slam the door in the 4th.
This is essentially the same way they had won all year.

Jeers to ANYONE who saw questionable officiating during that game. I was on the lookout for it,
since that's all anyone talked about for two weeks, dirty play by the Saints. It didn't happen, and
the refs for the most part let the game roll on unimpeded. I yelled all year about officiating helping
Florida, so believe me, I know what to look for. Anyone who saw anything that didn't look right to
them needs to learn about football. No one that knows the rules and understands the way
the game is played can say they saw anything but the Saints beating the Colts fair and square.
I need to read the comments about the 2 pernt conversion, all I saw on the live play was a sqeaking
successful try, and as they went to break, I was saying "when we get back from commercial, if there
is no review in progress, I'll eat my hat." In replay it was clear that the player finally gained possession of the
ball and reached it over, hit the ground, reached it over again, and only lost possession when the Colts
player hit his arms and the ball. Maybe that's not what the point of the dustup was anyway, but
there was no mistake made in the end. Hey, if you want to win the Super Bowl, you would be very well advised
to keep yourself from falling victim to a defense that has made hay ALL YEAR LONG on opposing offenses. HOLD
ONTO THE BALL, treat possession with a little more respect and you will have no problems beating the Saints.
It's just that no one could resist giving it up or having it taken from them.

Stupidest thing I read before the game - that the Colts were going for a "dynasty"

The television ratings are in and this years Super Bowl is now the most watched TV show ever. It eclipsed the Finale of M-a-s-h which was the highest rated. Neilsen Co. reports that 106 million people are estimated to have watched the game. The 1983 rating for MASH was 105.97.
The Story around the city of New Orleans and Katrina and Peyton Manning going for his second Super Bowl ring were attributed as factors in the high rating.
