Broncos Shut Down Patriots and Advance to Super Bowl 50
Source: NY Times
DENVER The Denver Broncos advanced to their second Super Bowl in three seasons by defeating the New England Patriots, 20-18, in the A.F.C. championship game.
For the Broncos, it will be their eighth Super Bowl appearance, tied for most in N.F.L. history, and second since Peyton Manning, coming off a career-threatening neck procedure, signed with them in 2012. After upending Tom Brady in the 17th and, perhaps, final installment of their classic rivalry, Manning will seek his second title and the Broncos first in 17 years on Feb. 7, against the Arizona Cardinals or Carolina Panthers, in Santa Clara, Calif.

(13,616 posts)The Sleaziest team on Pro sports finally got a dinner full of Karma. granted, I hate any team with a manning on it, but the NEP are so very much an example of what is wrong with America, including at the political levels. "cheat to win", done by Bill Belichek, and by (insert name here).

(20,818 posts)One of my FB friends posted a meme going around with a non-so-flattering pic of an upset Belicheat, and the caption "This game was a lot easier when we were cheating". HA! So true.
I just had to listen to the song "Shady Brady and Bill Belicheat" on Youtube right afterwards. Look it up, it's perfect.

Grown tired of all things Brady.
Even during the game ESPN spent most of its on line coverage on Brady

(20,818 posts)NE and Brady throughout its coverage as well, it was sickening. I wanted to yell at the screen asking if they knew there was another team on the field as well? They were sourpusses when Denver pulled it off, too. SICK TO DEATH of Shady Brady and Belicheat.

Of course, Jim Nantz is a Bush loving moron who shells out a ton of money to his ex now for keeping a "road girlfriend". So fuck him.

(24,979 posts)A lot better than what Arizona can offer against the Carolina juggernaut. Hey, they stopped Brady! It will probably be a closer game than what we're watching right this moment, but it's very unlikely the Denver defense can make up for the awesome difference between the offenses.

(16,399 posts)I'm pretty sure one of Brady's first plays in Super Bowl 46 was a safety.
