Official Hype Super Bowl XLII party thread!!!!

[Immortalfire]

Once again, I am your host for the Hype Super Bowl party! This thread also counts as the official Super Bowl thread (for anyone else considering making one) as it included a "who will win?" poll. So bring on the discussions and picks.

The two week party begins right here :word:

[Morg]

where's the beer?

[Immortalfire]

If my fridge isn't stocked with what you like, you can BYOB..bring your own beverage.

[Morg]

*heads for the kitchen*

You do know by the time the party ends your place of resident will be trashed? :hehe:

[Dedpool]

It feels like this early 21st century of Super Bowls has been nothing but the Patriot show.

Oh well, go Pats. :) :up:

[Immortalfire]

*heads for the kitchen*

You do know by the time the party ends your place of resident will be trashed? :hehe:

Yup. But I know the spirit of brotherhood, there's no doubt that you, Hunter and DL will stick around to help me clean up. :yay:

[Erzengel]

To answer Kain from the other thread, the Packers were trying to run the ball but the Giant defense was just shutting them down.

And I really don't know why they didn't put an extra man on Burress. Oh well, went in the Giants favor. :up:

[Morg]

[Matt]

In regards to what Zen said in the NFL thread:

you know...

every message board i go on its clear,

the giants could steam roll the patriots, or fight it out tooth and nail and it simply doesn't matter...

to everyone but giants fans these wins are because of luck, not because the G-men are SERIOUSLY putting it together in the post season...

the giants CLEARLY out played the pack and all im seeing is GB lost the game... favre lost the game, but honestly the giants could have taken this game numerous times before favre threw that interception. The giants earned this game.

I hope strahan gets his ring, and i wonder if Tiki is regretting his primadona choice to leave while he still had plenty of gas in the tank.

Go Blue

I tend to agree with you. People always say "Well the Packers or the Cowboys are the better team" or "The Colts should have played in the AFC championship as they were the better team than San Diego." I say that is a load of ****. That is why we have play-offs...The Giants beat the Cowboys and the Packers, the two best teams in the NFC. That makes them the best team in the NFC. Plain and simple. Doesn't matter if they lost to these teams during the regular season. They beat them when it matters, they are the better team.

[Matt]

As for the actual Super Bowl...I'll say this...the one thing worse than the Patriots are the Patriots when they are pissed off. The Patriots have been hearing for weeks now that if the onside kick went the other way, the Giants would've beat them and they could kiss their undefeated season goodbye. Darth Hoodie is going to use that to get his team fired up like no other. I wouldn't want to be in the Giants' shoes going into that game.

[bell110]

Giants baby, Yeah!!

[BlackLantern]

**** 'em all.....people have been discounting the Giants all season.....they picked Tampa Bay.....the Giants won....after losing 2 to dallas, people said the giants didnt have a chance....they won again.....all the "experts" said a team couldnt go into Lambeau, in the dead of winter, and beat Brett Favre.......AND THEY WON.....Id rather everyone think the Pats can win...it seems to have worked so far

[The Game]

Is it ok for me to start the offical ''Let's All Laugh at Tiki Barber'' Thread

As for the game Patriots all the way

[Arkady Rossovich]

I'll go with New York,many thought they would loose..but they won. It is possible for them to win.

[BlackLantern]

In all honesty, you sound like a Chicago fan at this point last year :cwink: But comeon, you are talking as a fan. In all reality, there is no way to not pick the Patriots for this game. Could the Giants win? Sure. Will the Giants win? The odds are against them...big time, and I like to play the odds.

i know....but when they beat Dallas and eliminated their division rival from the playoffs, I got pumped. part of me wouldnt have been mad if they lost to green bay, because I like brett favre....and at least they beat dallas...but to go to the super bowl its awesome.....in reality they are a long shot and I can only hope there is a little bit of magic left

[jaguarr]

I've never been a big Pats fan. I'd like to see the Giants do something to knock them off their pedestal and take the big game away from them. I'm an underdog kind of guy, I suppose. It'll be tough to do it, but they certainly are capable and absolutely anything can happen in the Super Bowl.

jag

[Showtime]

Why's that?

It's what this thread will most likely turn into..."I hate the Patriots because Belichick wears a hoodie." "I hate the Patriots because Tom Brady smiles." Which I never actually complain about, because it is somebodys opinion, which is fine. Problem is, when you try to talk about the Patriots or the NFL in an educated manner, alot of people are just like, "Patriots suck!" yet if you would say that about "their team" they would go off on a tangent about it. It is just hilarious to me.

This isn't directed at everybody of course, there are so many intelligent NFL posters in there.

Just an observation.

[BlackLantern]

if you dont like the Patriots at least present a valid reason....and the whole "he cheated" excuse is old news. on the other hand if you dont like the Giants...make your case...and the "eli didnt want to go to Sd" has been beat to death....

Exactly.

[E. Nygma]

The Giants completely beat the Packers at everything they wanted to do yesterday. They didn't allow any big runs after the catch (except the Driver TD). They dominated the Packers L.O.S, kept Grant at bay and made Favre have to throw on the run forcing some bad passes and two picks.

They completely deserve to be in the Super Bowl, i am in a state of shock that they are. I picked them to be one of the worst teams this year, and when they started 0-2 i said they would be even worse than i thought.

Well they got it done, on the road, playing very solid football. They played with much more discipline than in previous seasons. They have had solid contribution from their run game even without Barber. Strahan and the defense have been solid all year.

Dont count the Giants out from winning the whole thing, i picked against them every week in the playoffs and they've made me look like an idiot. I expect the Patriots to win, but the Giants already proved they could hang.

[jaguarr]

I don't like the Patriots because they are undefeated and I'd like to see them lose at least one this year. Plus, my wife is from NYC, so I'm kind of required by law to root for the Giants in this game (even though I was rooting for Green Bay last night :D ).

I honestly find it hard to root for the underdogs when the underdogs are lead by Tom Coughlin and Eli Manning, two of the biggest pricks in the NFL :csad:

I am rooting for the Patriots, just because it will be the equivilant to watching history. I wasn't around to see Chuck Noll win his 4 rings and I wasn't old enough to appreciate Joe Montana winning his. So its exciting.

You've got score, mvp, and other things to determine winner.

[LastSunrise1981]

Of course I voted for my favorite team the Patriots to win it all and make history as the second team to win it all undefeated. However, anything can happen at the big dance, and even if the Pats lose, it'll be cool to see Eli Manning get a ring so he can be out of his brothers shadow.

Either way I think it's going to be a great game and I also think it'll be a close one as well.

[Dark Donnie]

What do we have to PM Fran with?? Just score and winner?

[Badger]

As far as I know, that's it.

[bell110]

It would be awesome if the first game the Pats loose all season is in the Super Bowl... by the GIANTS!!!!

[Ghostrider87]

Nothing like a rematch of the last game of the season.

[LegendaryCaleb]

I Have to give props to the Giants....I have disrespected them during the whole Playoffs...They have proved me wrong...Therefore I believe they can beat the Pats!

[Ghostrider87]

Anybody think the Giants can pull the upset?

[Immortalfire]

Only if Eli sees his watch commercial enough times.

The Colts have called a 4:30 ET press conference to announce the future of head coach Tony Dungy.

Owner Jim Irsay told ESPN's Chris Mortensen he got the feeling late Sunday that Dungy was "leaning" towards returning to Indy, but that may be wishful thinking. We should know for sure within the next few hours.

Ravens Offense-TM-Ravens Jan. 21 - 3:00 pm et

An NFL source tells the Palm Beach Post that ex-Dolphins coach Cam Cameron could be introduced as Baltimore's new offensive coordinator by Monday.

One source says Cameron is "close" to finalizing a deal, while another says that the Ravens are deciding between Cameron and Eagles QBs coach Pat Shurmur. New coach John Harbaugh is trying to assemble his staff as quickly as possible. He's also trying to retain defensive coordinator Rex Ryan.

Damn Phil
Rivers' knee scoped before AFC Championship

Philip Rivers revealed Monday that he had arthroscopic knee surgery before Sunday's AFC title game. He will need more surgery this offseason.

The scope was performed to clean out cartilage in Rivers' right knee; he'll now need his right ACL repaired. This makes Rivers' effort even more courageous, but could cost him all of the offseason. Depending on the extent of Rivers' ACL procedure, it could even threaten his availability for Week 1. Jan. 21 - 4:05 pm et

[Showtime]

Wow. Rivers has huge ones. Very impressive.

[Fran]

I think I called it at work yesterday, that Rivers would tear his ACL.

[Showtime]

He was playing pretty damn good though. I can't believe he went through all that.

[Immortalfire]

:cmad::up:DA PATS!:cmad::up:


He has spoken.

Unfortunately.

Rivers - Gets knee surgery and still plays pretty well.
Romo - Goes on vacation and plays like ****

I think the G-Men have a chance, even though the Pats are seemingly unstoppable. But hey, the Giants came as close as anyone to beating them a few weeks ago. I'm pumped for this rematch.

New England Patriots - 3

Hmmm.

[Jerry!]

He was playing pretty damn good though. I can't believe he went through all that.

Doesn't really make LT look all that great though. Any word on his injury or what it was? I don't remember seeing him being treated on the sidelines or anything.

[NewYorkSpider]

Doesn't really make LT look all that great though. Any word on his injury or what it was? I don't remember seeing him being treated on the sidelines or anything.

LT wasn't injured during the game. His knee wasn't at 100% and the coach benched him. So it's not his fault that he couldn't be out there.

[Jerry!]

Well it's the biggest game of his life. And I think it played a pretty big part of why the Chargers had trouble in the red zone. Turner had Rivers play on one leg but LT, who was supposedly the healthiest out of the 3 main guys injured (Gates) on offense, didn't go because he wasn't 100%. Ehhhh I don't know if I buy that. I think if he really wanted to, he could have gone back in the game.

[NewYorkSpider]

I think if he really wanted to, he could have gone back in the game.

Oh I agree with you. I find it funny that he plays 2 series then is benched the rest of the game. I kinda wonder if it was worse than what we were told.

[Jerry!]

But my problem was that if it really was worse, why wasn't a trainer looking at him or why didn't he go back to the locker room for a check up or something. He just sat there in his jacket and helmet on the bench entire game. Doesn't look too good.

[NewYorkSpider]

The excuse we got is that Turner gave them the best chance to win. If LT was at 90%, they could have at least used him in the red zone like you said. I really don't know what to think of it.

[StorminNorman]

I am unsure who to take in this match-up, honestly.

[Excel]

We'll see, they played us good last time and Id have defiently taken the Packers over them. But let's see...after what Randy did to them last time, I expect them to try and take him out of the game ala Jacksonville and San Deigo. That would leave Brady with Wes, Donte, Watson and Faulk, which will all have good games. But I believe the current mvp of the playoffs for the Pats will once again be called upon, and hopefully be ready to deliver as he has over the past 5 weeks.

Laurence Maroney has established himself as big time weapon; his taking over of the game in the 2nd half yesterday is stuff of legends. He's the hottest, one of the most talented, and least talked about and game planned of all the Pats big stars, and teams have been forgetting him.

[E. Nygma]

this poll isn't as one sides as i thought it would

one team being 18-0 and all

[Dark Donnie]

Wow
Chargers QB Rivers no longer has ACL

Philip Rivers no longer has an ACL in his right knee, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.

While this is a scary injury and Rivers will need a reconstruction of the knee, John Elway played 16 years without an ACL, so it's been done before. Rivers maintains that he will be ready by the start of training camp, but previous timetables regarding these injuries indicate that's optimistic. Carson Palmer had a similarly timed injury and made it back for Week 1, but wasn't quite the same for a while. Jan. 21 - 5:54 pm et

I understand that Favre's a god because he's been such a terrificly above average quarterback for a good fifty years now, but for all the good he's done in his career, how many times has this cat cost his team big games?

Look, he's a first ballot Hall of Famer, and I'm not trying to knock the guy off John Madden's turkey flavored pedestal. But for all the good, all the records, games, stats, yatta yatta, he has a lot of really critical bad plays on his resume, too.

But in all fairness, any quarterback can say the same. They have the game on their shoulders more than any other player. And when has been around as long as Farve, they will have a lot of that on their resume.

Tom Brady...best quarterback of all time?

Let's wait till his career is over to judge. I would say he's the best current QB.

[Addendum]

I'm reluctant to call any QB the "best of all time", because there are some great ones.

Brady is one of the best playing right now

[theShape]

We can wait for his career to be over to call it, but the guy's going to his fourth Superbowl in seven years, and he's already won three for himself. Not many other QB's can say that much. Also, his stats are pretty incredible and he hasn't even had all-star receivers up until this year with Moss.

The Packers lost the game as a team. Hell - if it wasn't for a high snap by the center, the Packers would of lost the ball before Favre had the chance to "cost his team the game".

Did anyone else hear about this


One of the rumors making the rounds in Mobile is that the career of Buccaneers running back Cadillac Williams could be over.

Williams blew out a patellar tendon on September 30, during a game against the Panthers.

If Williams can’t return, it’s another argument against using a high first-round pick on a running back. The financial investment is enormous, and the running back is always one play away from a serious, if not permanent, injury.

Rogers can be a dominant force inside, but the Lions are clearly frustrated by his failure to stay consistently productive and in shape. If the Lions can't deal him, Rogers is expected to be released. Detroit should be able to get a first-day pick for the 28-year-old, but probably not a first-rounder. Jan. 23 - 11:06 am et

Bob Sanders designed it.

He then promptly ate anyone who said they designed it.

It's my understanding that Sanders will play bass guitar for Tom Petty at halftime.
Without a freakin' guitar

Al Davis is nuts!

[Mister J]

Does Al save a few greenbacks if Kiffin resigns, cause otherwise, couldn't he, like fire him? :huh:

As a Raiders fan, I pray every day that Al Davis finally dies.

Im guessing Al didn't wanna look bad. I guess if Kiffin resigns, he can spin it like Kiffin couldn't handle it.

Plus it probably does have some effect in the amount of money he(Kiffin) would get.

Im guessing Al didn't wanna get bad attention at him. I guess if Kiffin resigns it doesn't look as bad.


Looks like that plan sort of backfired. Way to go, Al. Jackass. :down
