Official Hype! SUPER BOWL XLVI thread!

I gotta say, that last TD play for the Giants was smart and unorthodox for Belichick.

 

[enterthemadness]

We need Brett Farve back playing. I need Farve Time.

Also I need Interception Time.

 

[Immortalfire]

Are you drunk?

 

[Marx]

I still think any mention of "teh Favreh" should be a bannable offense...

 

[Erzengel]

...some of us don't feel the need to show up week after week to incessantly discuss the events of every single football game. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) It doesn't make me (or anyone else) any less of a football fan.

Just show up in the regular season postings.

I mean people who show up during the AFC/NFC Championships?

I mean honestly, I thought me and Kane and Black Lantern were like the only Giants fans around here.

Oh BL.....if only he could have kept from being banned, he could have enjoyed this.

And does ANYONE have EXCEL's real name? Would have loved to see his twitter of facebook account on how the Pats are going to be 16-0 next year.

Would have loved if that too many men on the field penalty by the Giants would have been strategy.

One of the greatest QB's...a stat machine. All-Time Passing yards, TD's, and yes, Interceptions.

Also...because you asked nicely...

Farve>Mannings.

I thought the half time show sucked honestly. If you like lip synching galore then that was definitely your wheel house. We got lip syching, a foreign chick who doesnt pay taxes flipping off the country, a 50 year old female singer who could double her body for mic jagger and a post game show that could of put a coma patient into a coma.

Is that what you took it as?

No, she was just showing you her booger-picking finger.

Uh what else was I suppose to take it as? Ive never heard of MIA and she clearly wanted to create buzz to get her name out there. We dont need idiots doing stupid stuff during a halftime show. I want to get younger acts and people doing stupid stuff like this will lead us to more acts from the 70's.

 

[enterthemadness]

She flipped off the camera is what I took it as.

I've seen Dryden of Alien Ant Farm do much worse. He actually copped a feel of a male fans crotch at one concert. On YouTube. Hell, I've seen him post pictures of worse stuff on his Facebook...

I was just wondering because I've seen a lot of that this morning. "She flipped off America!" I have no idea why she did it, we might never know but I doubt she was making some type of political statement or saying **** you America.

Yeah I heard that too on howard stern this morning and people were saying that. It was just unecassary and Im not even offended at it. That was obviously planned because she was in sync with the dancers but was she flipping the camera off or someone behind the camera? I just dont want the NFL to go back into there shell and do acts like the rolling stones or bands that the youth have no idea who they are.

Did she still accept American pay for the gig?

An engagement on a championship night had a nice ring to it—two of them, in fact.

Rookie new york giants linebacker greg jones, who on sunday won a championship ring as a super bowl-winning special teamer, then offered an engagement ring to his girlfriend, amanda “mandy” piechowski, proposing to her during the postgame celebration in indianapolis.

According to the star-ledger in newark, n.j., minutes after the game, amid the confetti and celebration, jones dropped to a knee and proposed, a moment reminiscent of boise state’s ian johnson getting engaged after the fiesta bowl in 2007.

Mandy said yes, the newspaper reported, and then began to cry.

“she was bawling,” jones told the star-ledger this morning as he and his teammates left the marriott downtown to board their flight home. “i was like, ‘i don’t know how long she’s going to keep crying.’”

A sixth-round pick who began the season as a starter and has been a special-teams contributor, jones had practice-squad tight end christian hopkins hold the ring for him during the game. According to the star-ledger, had the giants lost, jones would’ve waited for a better moment.

Jones met his fiancee three years ago, when both were athletes at michigan state, and they have been dating for a little over a year.

Piechowski, a spartans basketball player, is now a model—and the future mrs. Jones.

“She definitely knows how i feel,” jones said. “a speech wasn’t even needed."

Well that's nice.


It's a shame Nicki Minaj didn't have a "wardrobe malfunction".

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah I heard that too on howard stern this morning and people were saying that. It was just unnecessary and Im not even offended at it. That was obviously planned because she was in sync with the dancers but was she flipping the camera off or someone behind the camera? I just dont want the NFL to go back into there shell and do acts like the rolling stones or bands that the youth have no idea who they are.

To be honest, I think the Super Bowl Halftime show is destined to always suck (IMO). I can't remember seeing one that I liked except maybe for Springsteen. People hated that one too, but I enjoyed it simply because it wasn't grandiose; he just came out and played. Well, the U2 one, post-9/11 was really good too.

But damn, I can't remember liking another one. Last year's was an atrocity (and in retrospect, you guys were right, it WAS worse than Madonna's), Tom Petty and the Stones were pretty boring, Prince's show was overrated, Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson sucked (and you can thank them for the NFL going all PC with these shows for a while)... screw it, I say they should get rid of the musical acts and do something unorthodox like staging a WWII reenactment at halftime so that the league can get yet another chance to preach armchair patriotism, or invite the Jim Rose Circus so all of America could see a guy life weights with his dong.

I don't really care about the halftime show , it's supposed to be a bathroom break. I might care if they got Van Halen , Metallicca , or even Blue Man group. That would be cool.

 

[bullets]

yup

 

[Darthphere]

I don't know, I'm not her agent.

I agree. Maybe something like Cirque de Soleil or something like that. Something more along the lines of the opening to the Olympics. People tend to universally love the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

Wow Mandy Piechowski is pretty tall. If she and Greg Jones wind up having kids, they will be small giants.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah, the Olympics ceremonies tend to rock. I get that they want to make the halftime shows extravagant but they always end up looking cheap and/or cheesy. But if they put more money into the actual show and not just into landing a big name performer, it might be really awesome.
