***Official SUper Bowl Thread!!!****

[taterguy]

It's not too early to start talking about the big game is it?

Feel free to share your thoughts about CTE and stadium subsidies.

Also, be sure to let us know if you WON'T be watching the game.

[benld74]

1. Will not be watching the game

STL here. The Rams will never win another SB with Kronke as owner.
If they want stadiums let them build them, they're the ones with $$$.
Tired of their lies

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

23. First Responder Phenomenon

I'll never understand why disinterested parties are first responder.

It's a DU Tradition

[malaise]

2. Why not

[MFM008]

3. Seattle's not in it this year

So ill be watching the puppy bowl.

[OldHippieChick]

4. I always watch the SB, but am usually just interested in a

good game w/ good commercials. This year I'll be on pins and needles as I hope the first snap does not go over Peyton's head!

[librechik]

12. he'll be watching out for that this year--and the insane noise factor

other things he might not be prepared for…but GO BRONCOS!!!

[yuiyoshida]

5. I MAY LISTEN on the radio ...or

go out shopping, its a good day to go to the market, with few people milling around.

[oberliner]

6. Panthers in a blowout

That's my prediction.

[cwydro]

16. They gotta start strong.

Otherwise I'll be worried.

Go Panthers!

[Mosby]

17. I'm rooting for Denver

But it's going to be a battle to keep pace with the panthers offense. If the denver ground game is on track it might be possible.

Phoenix open broke a record yesterday, over 201,000 in attendance.

[Old Codger]

7. Not watching

Don't have TV service turned it off a year ago and don't miss it a bit

[taterguy]

8. Bonus points for letting us know you're too cool for TV at all

[Old Codger]

9. LOL

tired of paying large amounts for small stuff

[cwydro]

18. We're thinking of doing the same.

Just haven't broken the habit.

I find it relaxing when I'm too tired even to read.

But cannot stand tv without DVR. Commercials make me gnash my teeth lol.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

31. Looks like you can live stream it here

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/superbowl/live/player

[Old Codger]

34. The DSL

Internet I have here precludes any sort of live streaming,way to low on bandwidth to do that and 4G is way too expensive to use for any sort of live streaming.. I have learned to do without any TV and been a long time since I felt any heed for it at all... I have found after original withdrawal that I really do not miss any of it...I can get news online ok whenever I feel a need for it...

[Mosby]

44. there is still broadcast TV, its free.

High Def no less.

[former9thward]

42. Deleted post.

You already responded to the matter of my comments down thread.

[pintobean]

13. It's on CBS over-the-air broadcast

Are you too far from broadcasters to use an antenna?

[Old Codger]

14. for sure

small ranch in the mountains of Oregon... nothing over the air here, barely have internet

[pintobean]

19. Bummer

but "small ranch in the mountains" probably makes it all okay.

[Old Codger]

29. It does that

Don't miss tv at all, would like a better internet but it is not in the cards here unless use sat. and that costs way more than it is worth anymore, do have 4G cell service so use that when needed for more speed

[JHB]

10. Actually, it CAN be too early...

The game doesn't start for about 7 hours, right? Think of how many times this thread will have to be kicked to stay up top for 7 hours -- and if you don't, someone else is likely to show up and start a different ***Official*** thread.

And even if you do keep it kicked, someone's going to get fed up with scrolling though hours of pre-pre-game chatter and start an ***Official Thread #2***

Simply looking at the mechanics of the matter.

[mnhtnbb]

11. Go Panthers!

I want it to be so one-sided --kicking a$$ of that Repub Papa John's shill--that I won't feel guilty turning it off to watch Downton Abbey!

[Orrex]

15. Go Isotopes!

Oh wait. Wrong sport.

[pintobean]

20. Now, I'm confused

[petronius]

21. I just found an extra $20 tucked in the bottom of my book bag: where

can I buy tickets?

[elias49]

39. For that price? 1960.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

22. Ready?! I took a 3 day weekend, been ready since Friday. It's Xmas for me

[taterguy]

24. Don't peak too early

Just a suggestion

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

27. I expect a shitty game, so my expectations are low

My prediction

[elias49]

41. Why a shitty game?

2 good QBs. That usually adds excitement.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

47. I've got Carolina defense and ST scoring and

giving Cam a short field often. Carolina races out to a big lead. Denver's offense gets mauled, turns the ball over.

[yuiyoshida]

100. Not happening that way...

Denver 16 and Carolina 10...at the moment.. I have no favorites..

[Adrahil]

25. I'm going to a Superbowl Party. I won't be watching the game.

Sportsball is boring. But berr and wings? I'm IN!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. I'm watching Kitten Bowl III.

Football interests me not at all.

[RebelOne]

48. I watched puppy bowl.

I don't care for football.

[B2G]

28. Panthers by 13

Go Cats!!

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

30. I can't watch the Super Bowl with other people unless the Bears are in it

People are disinterested and mingle. Can't be in that room.

[TeeYiYi]

32. Go Broncos! ..nt

TYY

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

33. Nate Silver Carolina 59%-41%

[trumad]

35. Having a Super Bowl party at my house.

My team is not in it but I enjoy the game and hop haw surrounding it. Food Beer...football...fun for me.

[octoberlib]

36. Go Panthers!!

[Dr. Strange]

37. We never should have dropped the atomic bomb on Japan.

We should have apologized for the war and then surrendered to them.

[HipChick]

38. Not watching..can someone wake me up though for the half time performances?

[Manifestor_of_Light]

40. halftime show.

All I care about is the music and I do want to see lady Gaga sing the national anthem. She is the only young one I keep up with because she's quite talented. I hated PE in school for many reasons and I hate sports in general.

[kydo]

43. 38-23 Panthers

[hifiguy]

45. I hope Manning can win one for us older guys.

Go Broncos!

ETA

[Major Nikon]

46. Who's playing?

[davidn3600]

49. Gotta root for Peyton

Sorry, but I can't stand the Panthers.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

50. National Anthem: UNDER/OVER 2 minutes?

OVER

[DanTex]

51. Great national anthem by Lady Gaga.

[Purveyor]

52. Yes it was and I love our anthem. Nt

[steve2470]

53. she did awesome! nt

[dembotoz]

55. damn straight

[JanMichael]

83. she was good but did you hear the octave dip before the high notes? that helps hit the high in tune.

good move on her part. it worked.

[DanTex]

84. Actually I missed that. I'll have to watch it again.

[JanMichael]

85. it was fast but you can hear it if you try.

again i am not knocking her because it did work well.

not everyone has whitney houston or freddie mercury range. that is not anything to be ashamed of.

[DanTex]

86. By "octave dip" I thought you meant taking it all down an octave.

Is an octave dip some other vocal maneuver that I'm not familiar with?

[kydo]

54. WOW Lady Gaga

That was awesome!

[cwydro]

57. It was a great performance!

She rocked it!

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

56. She crushed it! 2:43

That's about as long as they come

[cyberswede]

58. The ref uniforms look cooler than usual

tighter fit, wider white stripes.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

59. Wow! Broncos. Impressive start

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

60. that pass had no zip. Kick it!

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

61. 2 Kick off returns to start the game. That hasn't happened in 6 years

[cyberswede]

62. That Doritos ad was yucky

[SwankyXomb]

67. I felt like I was in the audience

at "Springtime for Hitler" watching that.

[cyberswede]

72. LOL. ...and now #DoritosFeus is a thing.

[oberliner]

63. These commercials are awful

Maybe it's just me, but I used to enjoy them - now I find them unwatchable.

Also, they are promoting the halftime show 2 minutes into the first quarter?

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

64. This is exactly what I predicted!

Except opposite.



The early defensive score that I called goes to Denver

[Initech]

65. That Mountain Dew commercial = worst commercial I have ever seen!

And that includes the Geico Peter Pan commercial and the Dr. Pepper "It's the sweet one" ads. Worst commercial ever!

[lindysalsagal]

66. I only watch for the commercials.

Got my trip bags packed and the week's cooking done. Took all day. Now I'll veg and hope for some good commercials.

[oberliner]

75. How have you liked them so far?

Any standouts?

[lindysalsagal]

68. My future son-in-law is in the Baby choir commercial with Seal

At the golden gate bridge. He's in the red choir robe next to the bridge. They're singing!

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

69. That taunting penalty is going to leave a mark

stupid

[oberliner]

70. Denver D is dominating

It will be interesting to see what adjustments the Carolina side makes. '

Cam is great but his top RB is hurt and his WR corps is not the best.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

71. Absolutely. Hoping some of there FAs come to Chicago next year

[oberliner]

73. Cam starting to get things back on track

And Stewart is back in.

This could get interesting!

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

74. Cam was ampped up to start, but Couchery (sp) might have dropped 2 passes

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

76. Rut Rho

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

77. Mo swings back to Denver

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

78. That's incredible. Only 6 starts from Denver's SB 48 team

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

79. Tolbert! He led with the ball into contact

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

80. Cam's going to get tired running this much. Lots of adrenaline. Could dehydrate

[UTUSN]

81. im watching it tomorrow

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

82. Loving the Defense. Total Offense Carolina 177, Denver 133

Both QBs looking very average.

[Brother Buzz]

87. I say we send both offensive teams to the showers....

and let the defensive teams slug it out, they came to play football.

[B Calm]

88. Half Time Show sucks too!

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

90. I can't believe people look forward to them

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

102. Not usually a fan, but I thought this show

was much better than usual, especially judging it as family friendly entertainment.

[OldHippieChick]

89. Far from being cocky as I have been a Broncos fan for

over 50 years and have had many heartbreaks. However, methinks the Panthers have never faced this good an offense all year. All they seem to have is Cam - not to diminish his talents, but he can't do it all. The second half will be interesting, but I do think it's a much more exciting game than many expected - including the - perhaps- cocky Panthers. The Broncos are always undervalued because we are in flyover land. The Panthers may still win, but it won't be w/out a fight.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

91. "Panthers have never faced this good an *defense* all year"

fyp

Same is true for Denver. They've done didly-poo since their opening drive. Peyton's noodle arm isn't getting the ball out with any zip. He's prime for another int. But, yeah, Cam is going to dehydrate and cramp up before this thing is over at this rate. Both QBs look confused. Both teams have to crank up their running (back) games.

[OldHippieChick]

96. Spot on, I hate to say. I am so rooting for

Peyton, but he's not bringing it. Cam looks like the kid he is, yet I do believe it will come down to the Denver D versus Cam.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

92. This field sucks!

[Kaleva]

93. I wonder if Ryan Leaf is watching the game.

Back when they were coming out of college, Manning was considered by many to be the more NFL ready prospect while others argued that Ryan had more upside. The Colts took Manning with the #1 pick an the Chargers followed by taking Leaf.

Manning, win or lose this game, is a shoe in for the Hall of Fame while Leaf washed out of the NFL and is now "working for a recovery community in Los Angeles as a “program ambassador.” A part of his role is sharing his story with kids".

http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2016/feb/05/ryan-leaf-working-on-a-clean-slate/

[OrwellwasRight]

94. When does Downton Abbey start?

[B Calm]

95. I'm not rooting for either team, but somehow I think the Panthers might win this.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

97. Cam doesn't see what he's used to on that option. Cotchery drops his 3rd pass

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

98. I'm excited the Bears brought that 3-4 defense to Chicago

Never want to hear about the Tampa 2 again

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

99. Cam doesn't know if he should keep the ball or hand off, and it nearly led to a fumble

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

101. Did Bernie come on before Cold Play or did they not show his half-time performance?

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

103. Carolina 350 Denver 214 Total Yards

Carolina can't finish a drive

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

104. As Deion Sanders would say: Cam made a career decision

[aikoaiko]

105. That was shameful -- Jumping away from the loose ball in this Super Bowl.

Damn.

[OldHippieChick]

106. Yeah baby!!!!!

Can't believe it!!!! I'm so pumped!!!!!!

All the pundits were so full of dog doo!

Defense rules!!

[bullwinkle428]

107. Well, Cam Newton will have plenty more opportunities to get back to

the Super Bowl and win one in the years to come.

[bullwinkle428]

108. Punting? Might as well have just waved the white flag from the sideline!

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

109. Porta John ran out and gave Peyton a kiss on the cheek

[fishwax]

110. Man, what a fun game

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

111. indeed

now give Von the MVP. WTH is Peyton doing up there?

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

112. Jim Nance FAIL: and he's been practicing this all game

He said it twice. Kubiak is not the first coach to win a SB for the team he played for. Tom Flores did it twice before him.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

113. Yay Von!

One of these Broncos LBs is going to be a Bear next year
