Super Bowl XLII SUNDAY Thread

Today is the day so I figure time for a fresh Super Bowl thread.

Please keep the Super Bowl posting limited to this thread for the time being so the whole forum isn't just Super Bowl threads. Rumor has it there might be sports games or other events worth talking about. I'm not sure what but we'll acomidate them by keeping the Super Bowl stuff in this thread for a bit.

We had a winner prediction thread here.

Notes:

While we understand fans can get quite excited about these things but remember that the ToS still applies during the Super Bowl. Trolling, flaming, and such are NOT allowed. The MLB and NFL playoffs resulted in some contentious posts and we'd rather not have to moderate, suspend or take worse action against any users.

Be respectful to other users and all should be well. If you're particularly upset about a post. Walk away for a bit.

Here's hoping it is a great game and we can all survive the Half Time Show (and Joe Buck).

I woke up this morning and the first thing i thought was "SUPER BOWL SUNDAY!" even though the falcons aren't in it, it should be a good gameShotfire20

Puppy Bowl FTW!

Really though I can't truthfully say I'm rooting for either team because I don't really like either, but I suppose since the Giants are in the NFC East they are who I'd want to win. The only thing that'll irk me if they do is the rating they'll get in Madden (small yes but I've become a Madden adict recently)

Patriots.

18 and 0

1 to go

34-20

Maroney with 100+ yards.

if the Giants win it'll be the biggest upset since the Ravens beat the Colts back in '66.mohfrontline

I don't know, Super Bowl III where the Jets beat the Colts was a huge upset, as was the Pats-Rams game in the '01-02 season. Still, no team has ever been 18-0 going into a Super Bowl...

wow Fox is doing a horrible job pre gaming, thank goodness for NFL networkBeanTownBrown86

I made a vow to myself to not watch any pregame stuff today.

Go patriots

Tell me about it. It's not that they just have bad content. Everything is disorganized, messed up and the way they've scheduled everything, it looks like a child organized the whole thing. They're going back and forth between football and hollywood and I can't focus on anything. I have no idea what's going on or what the hell they're doing.

Honestly it's the worst pregame show I've ever seen.

Fox, if you're going to make this big a pregame show, make sure you have people smart enough to organize it. It's a complete mess.

I wish they had John Madden doing something. Or is he announcing?mohfrontline

Nope, it's Joe Buck and Troy Aikman announcing.

Know what sucks?

I'm hours away to the point that kickoff is at 8:45pm here. I woke up JUST before the coin toss. If it weren't for my girlfriend yappin' in Japanese on her cellphone, I would have missed this game.

I don't get to see the commercials. AFN don't broadcast 'em.

And cheaters prosper. Tsk tsk.

This is a really boring Super Bowl. :(

Hopefully something happens in the 4th. 7-3 score would be horrible.

Touchdown Giants!

That's a 70% increase of score in the 4th quarter. :P

The Patriots deserve to lose with their horrible performance. Honestly they just suck. And yes i'm a Patriots fan.helium_flash

I was expecting a better game myself. I thought the Patriots would be doing a lot better. But as a Giants fan, I'm happy they are not.

YES TOUCHDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWNNNN Patriots! :D

Brady nearly gave me a heart attack on that first attempt to Moss.

Eli Manning interception coming up.

I call it.

And no, I do not want it to happen.

Manning...pressure...gets away...rolls out....throws...CAUGHT by TYREE with 59 seconds left!?

BEST jplay in the history of the Giants.

Holy crap. Touchdown Giants.

I am in heaven right now.

Holy crap. Touchdown Giants.
