Official Hype! SUPER BOWL XLVI thread!

Good for them. I never get why people get so mad about athletes living their lives after a big loss. People cope in different ways. They aren't going to sit around and sulk until the following season. Life goes on.

Also Gronk was probably high as a kite after all those painkillers to be shuffling with LMFAO.

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

I just refer to him as "You Know Who."

As for me he's the Nazgûl of the NFL.

They can party all they want, no harm.

I really respect Brady and his absolute love for the game. He was in a state of shock after the game and i could really feel how bad he wanted the game.

Giants are the only team in history to win the Superbowl with seven season losses.

Yea it shouldn't be a big deal but M.I.A. choosing this way to push her name is just so annoying. Why would she even agree to perform if she so obviously doesn't care.

You should be so proud...

Giants had the 6th best overall record in their conference so that doesn't bother me, quite impressive.

The BCS people's brains probably blew every fuse.

Not at all a fan of Brady, but I think respect him a little bit more that it can get to him this bad playing as long as he has.

This is the reason he is my favorite proffesional athlete. He is the ULTIMATE competitor and he plays the game so well that his mistakes seem so much bigger than they are. Stuff like this article inspire me to be a better athlete, the guy is awesome.

She's been controversial for a while. The rap song she did that was on the Slumdog Millionaire Soundtrack featured gunshots.

I would have thought if it was going to be anyone who was going to cause controversy, it would have been Nicki Minaj.

And I think Cee-Lo Green was NBC driven.

Maria Menounos is from Boston, and she’s seen at Patriots and Celtics and Red Sox games all the time, and somehow that ended up with her having to host Extra yesterday in a Giants bikini.

 

[Donut]

I guess she lost a bet

Who do you guys think will show up on America's Game? I would say Eli and Coughlin, but they were on the last one, and they typically don't use the same guys twice unless it's a team that won three or four Super Bowls. So if they don't use them, who would they pick? They usually go with an offensive player, a defensive player and a coach.

Maybe Victor Cruz, Jason Pierre-Paul and Perry Fewell?

 

[The Riddler]

But this time they did, because they didn't win it as one. Had Davis made it over he first-down line on his last catch, it could have never came to the last punt reception and forced fumble. Had they converted more 3rd downs earlier in the game and scored more points, then the earlier muff wouldn't have hurt as much point-wise, either.



As soon as you throw your bitter 'it was all Williams' whiney scapegoating bs out first, 'kay champ?


Again, if he niners as a team had done more to win, especially Smith, they would not have been in a position to have lost on one play like that in overtime. If you want to point to William's gaffes as the key facilitating plays, sure...it was one of them. But the niners had enough opportunities to capitalize on and put the game way despite the fist muff, and to keep it from even getting into overtime...and they didn't because the Giants played well enough not to let it happen. We understand you're bitter, but responsibility lies with more than just Williams. The Giants earned that win just by being in a position to capitalize on plays like that which happen in this game. So go ahead and keep spilling your sour grapes, and we'll keep identifying it as just that.

i'm writing too much to relay a simple concept.

kyle williams is at fault for the loss because his mistakes not only led directly to 10 points (ALL OF THE GIANTS' SECOND HALF POINTS), but were entirely the fault of one person: kyle williams.

the 49ers' offensive ineptitude, or any other team-based factor, is a product of many things, not only the fault of one person. for example, the giants defense had a lot to do with the 49ers struggles. in this way, a team based deficiency, especially when dependent on the direct opposition of the other team, is less culpable than two avoidable fumbles by one man that leads directly to 10 points.

you seem to fail to grasp the simple concept that getting out of the way of a ball on a punt return is the fault of one single man who didn't know what the hell he was doing, while converting on first downs is not only dependent on many offensive pieces to work in harmony, but also the play of the giants defense. determining culpability of a loss must be dependent on the circumstances at play. not all contributing factors to a loss are equal.

Loved seeing Cruz and Strahan salsa.

Uh-oh, Mayor Bloomberg... I see large masses of people gathering in the streets. Are you going to break out the cops and riot gear today, too?

F***ing corporate hypocrite.
