Official Hype! SUPER BOWL XLVI thread!

[Poeman]

INDIANAPOLIS — The frustrations of another Super Bowl loss spilled over for Gisele Bundchen as she left the luxury suites of Lucas Oil Stadium after her husband Tom Brady and the Patriots fell to Eli Manning and the Giants, 21-17, in Super Bowl XLVI Sunday night.

While making her way toward the elevator, Giants fans were harassing the supermodel, yelling, “Eli rules, Eli owns your husband.”

She responded to her entourage.

“You [need] to catch the ball when you’re supposed to catch the ball. My husband cannot [expletive] throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time,” she said in a video obtained by TheInsider.com. “I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times.”

That was an obvious reference to Wes Welker, who dropped what would have been a first down on the Patriots’ next-to-last drive and would have likely sealed the win.

Aaron Hernandez also had a drop of a pass over the middle on the last drive of the game."

haha there goes praying for Tommy.

Good for Brady. It means he got anger sex last night. Lucky bastard!

 

[terry78]

****, Brady gets any kind of sex any night I would think. She seems like she doesn't have any "I have a headache" moments.

 

[Donut]

Really fans are harassing someone who did not even play the game ?

 

[Erzengel]

There are Pats fans who are annoyed when she shows up.

The Giants and their fan base are really classy...

 

[Erzengel]

You mean like the 49ers fans who threatened Kyle Williams family and wished death on him?

 

[kane9321]

So are the Giants going to give a ring to Kyle Williams AND Wes Welker?

IM STILL TRYING TO COPE WITH THAT

 

[terry78]

Mob mentality. Fans believe if something is bad luck or taking focus away from their team, all bets are off.

 

[Poeman]

Rest assured Niners fans...Joe Cool is definitely the greatest of all time now.

 

[Longshot777]

Why are the PATS favored anyway??

They have almost to last defense and The Gronk was not 100%, while the GIANTS went in to the superbowl with the same GOOD LUCK and inspiration as the 07 Giants beating the top 2 NFC teams.

Brady and Welker missed that opportunity to ice the game

 

[Themanofbat]

You mean like the 49ers fans who threatened Kyle Williams family and wished death on him?

Well, I would just like to think that these people are not "real" fans to the sport, regardless of the team they follow.

And yeah, I can see how that statement can be used against my prior statement, so I'll retract the "fans" part of my statement and simply state...

The Giants are really classy...

Yeah... I'm looking at you Leonard Marshall...

 

[kane9321]

Rest assured Niners fans...Joe Cool is definitely the greatest of all time now.

THIS MAKES ME HAPPY AGAINt:t:

Tom got some angry sex lastnite,thats for sure

I read an article last night that tore Peyton Manning a new one. I can't find it, but I think it was on Bleacher Report. Basically it called him selfish, saying that staying out of the spot light on ONE DAY, doesn't make up for spending the past two weeks doing countless interviews, tweeting, and drawing all kind of attention to yourself while it should be on your brother.

What do you guys think?

 

[Erzengel]

I don't think it overshadowed Eli. Don't get me wrong, it was mentioned a lot but I attributed it more to, you have 2 LONG weeks and it's rehashing the same things over and over. Eli = Elite? Gronkowski's ankle, Brady's and Belichick's legacy, Giants Pass Rush, Eli's and Coughlin's Legacy. To be honest, it was nice hearing about something else for a change. Also, I listen to NY media so, the focus was always going to be on the Giants.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Meh, the media was going to hype Peyton's contract situation regardless, so I can't blame him for talking about it. At least it was something relevant and the sports media didn't spen 100% of their time talking about TEEEEEEEEBOWMANIA leading up to the Super Bowl (they only spent about 60% on this).

None the less, I agree in principle with the article. I think that it was a bit too harsh on Peyton but I do think that Peyton should have stayed out of the spot light for the past two weeks. Refused interviews, kept his twitter account quiet, etc. If the media wanted to talk about him, so be it....but he should have been a hermit and let his little brother shine.

 

[Erzengel]

Did they show Peyton at all during the game?

I remember seeing Giselle and Eli's parents and his wife and child.

Other Musings of the Super Bowl

Rodney's Harrison's body language during the interview with David Tyree. I never saw him that agitated and obviously confirms his previous statement that he never got over XLII.

Belichick actually hugging Coughlin at the end of the game surprised me.

I'm sure they do this with every network, but it really seemed that NBC shoved their entire TV lineup somewhere in the pre-game. Also, Nick Cannon, Jimmy Fallon, horrible.

Superbowl commericals overall were the worst ever. Exceptions, naked M&Ms and the Dog bribing the guy with the doriotos.

 

[Matt]

Last year's commercials were worse. The only decent one last year was Darth Vader kid.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Who would you rank as your Unconventional Super Bowl Winners/Losers? What I mean is, who benefited or suffered from last night's game, despite not actually playing in it?

My Picks...

Unconventional Super Bowl Winner: Tiquan Underwood. Sure, I know The Man with the Kid n Play Flying Elvis Hairdo was supposedly "fine" with The Patriot Way of screwing players in the worst way possible at the best moments of their respective careers, but you have to believe that part of him died inside when they cut him hours before the Super Bowl. That's even colder than when the Ravens cut Trent Dilfer after winning the Super Bowl. I'm sure Underwood feels bad for his teammates, but I'm sure he's also laughing a little bit about last night.

Runner-up: M.I.A., for giving that awful halftime show the finger, something all people watching (who aren't blind and deaf) wanted to do. Okay, perhaps she wasn't actually flicking off Madonna, but she COULD have been, and that's enough for me.

Unconventional Super Bowl Loser: Tiki Barber. Now, Tiki has been out of the league for some time but it must really chap his ass that the Giants won the Super Bowl the year after he quit the team, AND the same year he attempted to make an embarrassing comeback. I wouldn't rub this sort of thing in a player's face ordinarily, but Tiki is such a massive *****ebag that we should all feel a need to gloat a bit.

Runner up: Madonna. I thought we had hit rockbottom with the Crackhead Peas last year, but Madonna managed to trump them with a performance that started out looking like the porn version of Thor and finished like an acid flashback in which Toni Basil happened to be in the room. Madonna moved about as fluid as last night's dinner, flowing through the world's most constipated colon, but at least her pre-recorded, auto-tuned voice didn't start skipping Milli Vanilli style.

NBC says good bye to having a #1 rating until the Olympics.

 

[Matt]

And the medical community will have to go back to using drugs to induce comas as Tony Dungy won't be on TV for eight months.

 

[Darthphere]

It's hilarious because almost anywhere else, people actually liked or loved the halftime show. Of course the website with a bunch of comic book nerds are the ones that hated it and are calling it the worse ever.

 

[Matt]

Actually, it seems like the general consensus is that Madonna was neither fantastic nor terrible but the production values were outstanding. I agree with that analysis.

Oh, well, if only we could all be as unbiased as you. O Pious One, show us the way.
