Gints to win.

I'm going Giants and laughing as i do.

giants are the better team overall and match up advantageously. i'm going new england.

I purchased a Junior's Cheesecake via mail order for either a celebration or the binge-eating. Either way, I gots a cheesecake.

Go Giants!

giants are the better team overall and match up advantageously but tom brady is most beautiful. i'm going new england.

laocoön otm

I wagered two fancy bottles of beer that the Patriots will win.

Tracy Morgan was on Jimmy Fallon tonight, talking insane about vaguely football-related things, and went on to a bit about how he and Tom Brady grew up together and went to the same special ed school. Tom had to wear the safety helmet.

How to bet on sports?

Really, I just predict that the Giants will win by three points. I'd like to know how to profit on it.

use the internet

Brandon Jacobs is key to Super Bowl

i may not know much, but i do know that brandon jacobs is like the 18th-most important key to the super bowl on a good day.

all keys are key is the way i break it down to an extent

all keys are key, but what doors do they open?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PECk9A-07Pw

if bradshaw has a good game and jacobs doesn't, the giants will likely win
if jacobs has a good game and bradshaw doesn't, i dunno...

if isn't too much to ask, where is adam schefter?

afternoon tv is delivering. jaws says that eli will "throw the ball 50 times for almost 400 yards". it is cool to see gruden's eye go dead every time jaws speaks. as a bonus: commercial that somehow manages to make hooters seem creepy, of all things.

robby krieger got that black eye blocking a punt iirc

madonna is performing w/mia and nicki minaj i hear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cItHOl5LRWg

enjoy

wikipedia seems to know her setlist

Setlist:
"Vogue" (Madonna)[40]
"Music" (Madonna with LMFAO)[40]
"Give Me All Your Luvin'" (Madonna with Nicki Minaj and M.I.A.)[40]
"Like a Prayer" (Madonna with Cee Lo Green)[40]

tho the cite is to some spanish language site dealing w/ "gay trends" so ymmv

(Madonna with LMFAO)

good lord

also i just got nyg 7 / ne 4 in a box pool - n.b. ive never ever won $ in a box pool

pats will def score 4 i feel

i keeping on hearing predictions that this is gonna be a giants blowout

Which can only mean one thing...

final score ne 7 ny 4

I'll be at a 7-1/2-hour Hungarian film, but this Victor Cruz is delish.

posts v much in character

haha morbs

man that tom brady pic should be used in elementary schools across the country to help boost self-esteem

'hey even if you look like this you might one day become tom brady'

nfl channel is playing old superbowls, glimpsed a young belichick on the giants sideline the other day, lol

man got to go see if i can dvr 49ers 55 broncos 10

ah no go but lol anyway http://www.hulu.com/watch/123641/super-bowl-highlights-1990-super-bowl-xxiv-san-francisco-49ers-vs-denver-broncos

lol theres a show on the nfl network right now abt how brady is mad that he was drafted in the 6th round, it opened w/him reciting the list of qbs drafted ahead of him from memory

was he actually mad about that at the time, or has he just read enough sports writer bullshit that he's decided to accept that narrative as key to his success

it is p hilarious be barely started in college

49ers 55 broncos 10

this was awesome bc my asshole freshman year roommate was a broncos fan

http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyu5n2UJ5r1qz8kcpo1_500.jpg

too expressive a face iirc tbqh

tranny manning

haha brady walked up to kraft during training camp his rookie season introduced himself and said 'im the best decision you ever made'

god fuck that guy

lol he was right tho

eli walked up to steve tisch during training camp his rookie season introduced himself and said 'did you know some dinosaurs used their long necks to eat plants from the tops of trees?'

XD

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4dTKckmLwE&feature=player_detailpage#t=7s

a+ xp

shit theres a show on belichick next, im in too deep

haha brady is crying abt being drafted so low now, this is from this year fyi

I'm right he has been reading stupid shit on the internet, he probably forgot about it until recently

He's just trying to make Ryan Mallett feel better.

haha i just interviewed a dude who's buds with ryan mallett

ha theyre reading bradys draft scouting report right now and its pretty hilariously wrong

no poll?

i'll be rooting for the giants but i really cant help but feel the pats are gonna take this. you can argue that the giants are better than they were in 07 and the pats are worse, but i think the matchup favors the pats a little more this time. in 07, if you took away randy the pats had difficulty working the intermediate area of the field. their current offense is in a much better position to mitigate a great pass rush. obv the defense is bad and eli's gonna have a great chance to throw it around the field, could be a shootout, but i could see the pats controlling the ball for a lot of the game

Prediction: the Pats will have a big play using Chad Ochocinco

That will be their "use Aaron Hernandez as a running back" surprise play of the game.

i could almost see belichick giving him something like that just because he likes chad. it'd be shocking if he played a real role outside of that, but i'd love it if he had a huge game

eh chad played i think one snap in the two playoff games after playing 22 in the last reg season game which also coincides with mcdaniels coming back. i don't think he's playing.

i'd be happy to be wrong and see him make a play tho

belichick would do this, just cause

Chad had to miss the Baltimore game because his father passed away. He should at least be showing up for some snaps.

belichicks known for sacrificing a guys dad before every superbowl fwiw

haha

is anyone watching this thinghttp://nfllabor.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/nfl-honors_indy_w-bckgrd_rgb.jpg

Im watching playbook on the nfl network someone just said in reference to ochocinco 'hes kept the tweeting to a minimum'

this thing makes the espys look legitimate

didnt realize parcells didnt make the hall, thats kinda wack

The Hall of Fame keeps the voting results secret, but a source said the debate about Parcells was particularly contentious, with voters discussing his candidacy for about 57 minutes of the seven-hour voting process. Parcells did make the cut from 15 finalists to 10, but couldn't make the final cut.

A small but vocal minority disapproved of the way Parcells jumped from team to team in the latter part of his career, never staying more than four years with the Patriots, Jets, Cowboys or Dolphins. The dissenters also pointed out that Parcells never won a Super Bowl without Belichick, his former top defensive assistant, on staff.

jim harbaugh didnt even come to this, so raw

that's ridic parcells is a legend

also WHY IS THERE A 7 HOUR VOTING PROCESS

what are they electing the pope or something

also no cris carter

The dissenters also pointed out that Parcells never won a Super Bowl without Belichick, his former top defensive assistant, on staff.

a great under appreciated aspect of belichicks success is the damaging parcells legacy aspect

lol

parcells will get in sooner or later. hopefully not after he dies. i dont like that the coaches compete for slots with players though

man is everyone in the world picking the giants f this noise

i picked the pats! begrudgingly mind u

the fact that everyone's going for the giants is what made me nervous about their chances tbh. i know thats stupid as hell but there u go

sweet dawg appreciate that, I have another question why must football players call each other baby all the time it kinda ruins the nfl network

complex latent homosexual urges

Joe - everyone is wrong.

i had it on in the background for a while and it was lame as hell. but i gotta say i always get a mild amount of enjoyment from watching jocks in suits, esp. when theyre frowning at jokes like dismayed cave trolls that know they don't like something but can't figure out why

I got to take the Pats to win. I cannot believe 'the evil one' will allow himself to lose twice to the team from Gotham.

That said, I hate the fxxxin Pats - GO GIants.

I think Bill Parcells should get in the hall of fame, but I don't think he is a first ballot coach, the guy isn't Bill Walsh or Vince Lombardi or Tom Landry. I don't know you can say Parcell was a genius innovator in a new way like those other guys, who literally invented ways that changed the game. He's got no more Superbowl wins than Tom Flores. Then again, the NFL Hall of Fame is really weird. Unless you count Sammy Baugh, there ain't a damn punter in the whole thing and it's not like you can play a game without one. There are a gazillion QBs and RBs and like percentage wise not that many offensive linemen. I guess that fame part is the biggest thing.

Tiquan Underwood cut...LAST NIGHT.

Win it for tiquan eli

aside from the whole not being able to play in the super bowl thing, the tiquan underwood story isn't that heartbreaking

for one there's this

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter
CBA says any player active for 8 games still entitled to full SB share. So Tiquan Underwood will receive his SB money and ring, if Pats win.

it's also generally agreed upon now that he only got released yesterday so that the giants couldn't pick him up, but that the pats had informed him long before yesterday that they were indeed going to release him

and there u go

happy super bowl everybody

:)

lol jesus

what a batshit parade the superbowl is

"Road to Superbowl Bowl" on NBC in 20 minutes.

i remember my dad complaining abt a whole 3 hours of superbowl hype pregame now theres an entire channel for it

boycotting till 6pm tbh

ill admit to watching x number of hours of nfl network programing over the last few days

seriously who the hell would drive their own car to the super bowl

that is truly the heart of the matter

im taking my helicopter personally

lol cabs r prob charging $300 too, and u know there arent enough of them in indy

also: who would go to the superbowl?

i would go to the superbowl

lucas oil stadium is downtown iirc so you gotta have a few options to get there, even if you have to walk the last couple miles.

i mean, you have to do that at gillette anyhow, after the train abandons you in the woods.

lol foxboro how did that all happen

i mean i would go to "the super bowl" aka the city where the super bowl is being held but unless someone was like "hey i have box seats to the super bowl come with me" i'm not sure why you would go to the actual game

well yes i was imagining someone giving me the tickets

well me and my 3 buddies have gone to every super bowl to date, so i ain't missing one now

me and my 3 buddies have jo crystal sessions during every super bowl to date, so i ain't missing one now

i would never go to the super bowl because that would mean i'd have to dvr the puppy bowl, which wouldn't be the same

man superbowl must be the ultimate jo date for no-homo bros

ranch dip, anyone?

putting everything on this pregame on mute that isn't harrison/dungy or collinsworth

one of florio's guys reports on pats fan trolling:

I also saw a Patriots fan bus that alternated between playing “Sweet Caroline” and yelling out the window towards Colts fans that “Peyton is going to join the Redskins!”

plannin on taking a shot tonight anytime there's a commercial that....

nope, on second thought, put a period after "commercial"

Victor Cruz is p cute

ARodg is on NBC right now <3 <3

big vince and bianca <3

suuuuuuper cuet

"In the Air Tonight'

Unofficial NFL National Anthem

Eli dunked on Peyton, stealing his brothers mojo.

hah they just aired a clip of child peyton and eli playing basketball xp

hey this interview Eli is p into himself huh WHAT A FRAUD

Actors re-creation of Eli dunking on Peyton.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3w_Vy0lDk_A

Lol "it's hard to have a zero quarterback rating"

my lord brady looks like he's on heroin in this interview

looks like he's god the flu maybe jesus christ

*chugs sam adams*

Dear ARodg please headbutt Costas

lol rogers thinks theres something really special abt the giants this year, won some tough games on the road

"dont worry guys, there will be faith hill" <--costas trolling america

nbc should never be allowed 2 do the super bowl imo

oh wtf this is just the kickoff show fuck you nbc

watching bowling right now tbh

The crowd doesn't like either team.

you guys football is so ridiculous

Hey ilnfl pats fans. Good luck today

Brandon Spikes is already out of his mind. At least he's only punching himself in the head at this point.

Someone took a bedazzler to that pink microphone with extreme prejudice.

wtf is going on

it's so hot in here

up next: rihanna doing battle hymn of the republic

up next: John Mellancamp doing This Land Is Your Land

oh my god, live superbowl streaming requires silverlight

Yeah like Old Navy is come cool shit.

We have t-shirts with and without pockets.

dan I'm watching some less than official stream cause the nbc one was too slow, I can link u

pretty sure Brady is going to find out what not having a pocket is like

Good lawd, let's light this rocket.

This crowd is like indifferent to everyone.

we have the mlb music again?

I feel like the only way the Giants lose this game is if Eli fucks up

Awesome sack

sorry eli

Run the ball.

nice punt

big time balls out punt

so this beer is for the douchebags?

6% alcohol, p nice

re: bud platinum or whatever ad

i mean

oh no echo and the bunnymen! no!

waiting for bud loko

BOOOO

Bud Light in a fancy bottle is still Bud Light.

I do like the idea that an Audi and Echo can kill vampires though.

it's always hard to believe that the greatest ad minds in america can't come up w/ shit better than this

safety!

waow

Whoaa that is an odd call.

oh shit who bet that as a joek & made a shitload

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

loooool way to start slow pats offense

Ugh

wtf is this pepsi ad

omg these ads holy shit

Advertising hasn't been the same since they probably don't smoke and drink all day...then again maybe they have moved on to other vices.

i wonder how much money a very few people made off that

i miss normal football u guys

idk why al is so shocked about that call which was totally correct

Hahahahahahaha lmao Brady

wonder how many ppl bet that prop

dammit mankins

welker was open too

the odds on a safety were pretty damn sweet iirc

Everytime I hear Henry Hynoski, I keep thinking he should be like Henry Chinaski. He probably spent the night drinking malt liquor, writing poetry and trying to figure out a pattern for the horse track.

"for all my friends"

the odds on a safety were pretty damn sweet iirc

apparently sports books frequently screw up on their wacky super bowl odds and serious bettors make money off them.

I kinda feel like the only people to blame for the safety are the o-linemen. You call a drop back into the endzone it's all on them.

srs bettors prob arent playing '1st score a safety' regardless of the odds but yea i bet books priced it too long

lol 12 men

facepalm

get that INT pats

i don't think i've seen 12 men on NE all season

so unusual for them..

cruuuuuuuuuuuuz!

holy shit

howd that get thru

SALSA CRUZ

Giants are tough when they can run the ball.

henry hynoski is one of the best nfl throwback names

CUZ WERE LOVING THE CRUUUZ

Omg at this start

these ads are really depressing me

Pats need to take a deep breath and settle down

I hate these commercials souch

so much

Man my throat is torn up from four minutes of LOLing at the safety

post that chevy ad to the 2012 lolpocalypse thread

Ohhh here we go.

Wtf is Ross celebrating

that's more like it

lol @ ross showboating after welker picks up the first down

"That should take us to the end of the first quarter.... and that is the end of the first quarter"

u sunk my battleship the movie

Niiiiiiiiiice

JAY PEE PEE

At least they are getting points on the board. My plan to do a tequila shot for each NE touchdown will have to wait.

this yrs bud bowl is the prohibition-ending vintage vs bud platinum right

So GE is to blame for Bud.

Man can't there be a commercial involving bears wrestling or C-3PO rapping over an R2-D2 beat. Standards man!

spikes, cmon man

I hate Chris Collinsworth so much

K this dog commercial is cute

And...now it jumped shark

you almost got your c3po wish

Lol true

NICKS

Nicks is a big dude. He looks more like a TE than a WR.

Good non-call on PI

what were the odds on an illegal huddle call

GO FOR IT

Oh man

Ok almost got my wish again lol

a blind dude listening 2 the game in french is taking a seat away from a tru redblooded american

Jesus that TOP

welker looks like a bill hader character w/ that stache

before the game i would have thought belichick #1 priority on defense is take away bradshaw, and.. not really working so well this far

Patriot run D is gonna be springing leaks by end of 3rd

yeah in that dome? it's hot in there

sterling moore, how are you even starting in a super bowl, but <3

man I love punters

weatherford for mvp

Holding just kills it.

That was a pretty killer coffin corner punt there. "He was really going to the fxxxin superbowl there."

all baby ads, all the time

what the hell is bruce willis doing

when is the my little pony movie coming out

in jay-z's immortal words 'loooooooove'

throw it to solder

man why not take the penalty to keep your 1st down?

BRADY

wow

what a drive

Sweet tequila!!!

great time to stop the pass rush

hah, it was his first TD. i watched all these pats games and couldn't recall ever seeing woodhead in the end zone

That drive was all Woodhead and Hernandez

do the J E T S have nothing better to do with their offseason than make a bunch of commercials?

that works out really well for dallas cowboys

the NBC stream is surprisingly jq for me, but instead of the Super Bowl commercials I get the same few weird off rand commercials over and over again

hq, not jq sry

also offbrand not off rand lol iPad typing

Wow how can the giants be down??

they spent most of the half punting tbh

Textbook Patriots: score with the two minute drill going into the half and then start with the ball in the third

wtf at this

she sounds great!

is this live

i've never really liked madonna tbh

why can't they have daft punk + kanye already

should segue into "erotica"

oh man madonna on lmfaos shoulders i just dont know

i think she almost fell at one point

Way better than last years halftime

m.i.a. is so subversive right now

is the halftime show not part of the stream? this sux

this is.....weird

this song is garbage

wait why hasn't beyonce done the halftime show yet? next year i assume? beyonce would be actually good

I thought she did it already

the m.i.a. song prob. sucks but in this format is was weird and cool imo

this ends w/ her re-enacting the last reel of 'body of evidence' right

Yea fairly sure these vox aren't live mostly cuz Madonna is usually pitch live and she isn't here

WORLD PEACE

world peace? he's on the lakers right? i love that guy

this is by far the best halftime show of my lifetime

if the vox were live then there would have been a huge obnoxious THUMP every time she clapped during Like A Prayer

this ends w/ her re-enacting the last reel of 'body of evidence' right

lol

Completely loved the first three songs--I was grinning ear-to-ear the whole way. Would have preferred just about anything to "Like a Prayer," but no big deal.

Man Prince's halftime show was best of last 15 yrs or so

toga tight wire dancer was unreal and hilarious

i woulda liked if she just performed one song straight up live but i am an old man

I kinda hate big ostentatious halftime shows. "look at how we spent all of our sponsors' money!" + WORLD PEACE

this clint eastwood ad better be for bud platinum

M.I.A. flipped off camera

I dug most of that except the cheeleader song. Also Madge needed different shoes for dancing...she lost her groove a few times. But she looked amazeballs

omg @ detroit

prince was the best imo

i also like janet jackson. i know that thing happened that ruined it for everyone but whatever. janet >>>> madonna

Also Minaj eyes were even more gecko like than normal

I am so post-bitter that I enjoy shameless spectacle

seriously was wondering why you would even try with those boots

would definitely vote for clint eastwood

lol libertarian icon clint eastwood standing up for corporate-welfare-recipient auto industry

I was semi-expecting a wardrobe malfunction from toga trapeze man xposts

game is boring though. the soporific white noise of the crowd always overwhelms any excitement I feel watching football

I was semi-expecting a wardrobe malfunction from toga trapeze man xposts

I love the crowd noise

I agree Prince's was the best ever btw

Especially since he looked like Will Ferrell

I like the crowd noise but it makes me sleepy. bball sounds are much more excitement inducing

go benny!

Agree that Prince and Madonna are in the top two

Prince is still all-time.

Nice pics Brady! Lol

prince and michael jackson back in the day (b/c it was so weird)

HERNANDEZ

Amazing! You can't stop the no huddle

Time to link to that James Brown, Michael Jackson and Prince video again

Aaron!!!!!

<3 hernandez different versions of makeitrain in the end zone
that's a new one

Tequila shot number two. If the Pats keep it up I'll be polishing off the Patron tonight

the first 2 minutes or so when michael is just standing there with the crowd going nuts is cool but it goes downhill fast

i have to say my fave hernandez play on the season is brady INT vs denver in the playoffs, when he stops the guy cold and just walks away

Someone told me the other day that Siete Leguas was the real Patrón

Sorry for the xpost lag Jackie Harvey routine

siete leguas is great

how is molden even playing in this game. arrgh

Time for an INT

oh no pierre paul

sorry man

Lol at Tuck bow

C'MON ELI

apparently the giants had 24 people in their secondary on that brady sack

This is money time for the Giants. They need to put it in the end zone.

OMG. a third of the friends on DB are exploding cuz there's mass power outages in O-Town

FB

O-town?

IMO this type of football favors NYG

orlando right

Xpost Orlando

I would have passed

I thought orlandonians hated that nickname

Oh man :(

That's a couple of 4 point plays. Nice bend don't break there by the Pats defense.

Orlandonians hate living in Orlando xpost

In mind I call it Ornaldo

I still think they should thrown on 2ND.

Patriots' D is delivering but they need to pick it up on offense

When Patsies woulda been caught playing the run

guys, cris collinsworth says this is a big drive for Tom Brady

Favorite songs heard in ads so far:
"Can You Get To That?"
"The Killing Moon"
"What'd I Say?"

not a big She Sells Sanctuary guy?

Ha, I l meant to post that too but I just blanked!

oh for christs sakes

INT

BRADY.

blackburn?!?!

blackburn!!

gronk needs to make that play! GRONK. dammit

It's an interception, but where it is caught at really just turns it into a good punt.

Not sure what he was thinking with that throw

brady don't launch it deep like that in the playoffs ok

yo hold on 2 da dam ball

bradshaw is one lucky mfer

Gotta think the lucky fumble recs are happening due to divine will

gmen have fumbled what 2 or 3 times now? and never lost it once

Im not afraid is the worst Eminem song ever that doesn't feature Hailey

Offsides

Run the ball here

i am a nervous wreck every play here already

been that way since halfway through the 2nd dude

3/4 tight ends injured

WTF WAS THAT COMMERCIAL

pats are hitting hard

Incomplete, but it was a pretty pass.

manningham would have been able to stay inbounds there; i just think he has no idea where he is

aww ballard

hahahahahahaha ballard

Four down territory

that's good defense stfu collinsworth

That was a clean play

Not gonna get that call in a super bowl. Move on Gints

in the raiders' defense, moore would have been flagged for PI there if he had stayed in oakland

well now they just pissed on one of my top 10 songs

I had to leave for a second, what was it?

pats cant use the whole middle of hte field now

pretty crap game tho woulda been an amazing game if that last play ended differently

abrad would have been alltime lol

You're a contrarian up there, Dan?

Too many dropped passes

brady sucked, fuck him

Worse thing is that Belichick also fxxxed a bunch of NE fans also on the spread, as that TD made it a 4 point win (on a 3 1/2 spread) instead of a 1 point win, if they kicked the fg.

HA HA, you lose twice Boston!

thought patritos were 3 1/2-pt faves, so it didn't matter

u make baby boston cry eli

I thought it was Giants 3 1/2 earlier in the week.

wtf is this trophy march

It would be funny if Raymond Berry was a real bad germaphobe.

awww eli is so cute

that 'vette won't last when it hits a Hoboken pothole, sadly

;_;

Peyton on roof waving his hands to alert everyone he is a Manning too

nicks is one smooth guy

Lol at Eli forgetting his keys and giving Dan Patrick a fuck you look when he teased him for it

that was the most underwhelming SB since bears-colts. bleh

Um it was devoid of cinematic highlight real plays but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Also the last five years have seen some pretty incredible Abs iirc

uh manningham catch?

yeah that one was great, I actually shouted loud enough to alert nearby police when that happened.

just mostly sayin that it wasn't like the 2007 match with the back and forth lead changes in the 4th, but that the game itself felt like a chess match and I liked it. granted I think both clubs woulda gotten their asses beat by their 2007 versions (though I think Eli's better at this point though obv).

lol was waiting for someone to swoop in

so the power/cable was wonky for like a third of my friends. One of mine works in a hotel and they lost power and the patrons were going nuts, so she queued up the game on her phone so they could watch the last 5 mins.

My friend called me in the last 20 seconds to tell me his cable had just gone out and asked me to do play by play as I watched.

thank u based internet

FUN, FIT, 40!

nfl network appeared to just be showing belichick being interviewed on like a camera phone

It is always good to see that Brady is indeed human. dude hasn't played at his usual godlike levels in the postseason pretty much since the click read :00 against the Eagles. Obv a shoo-in hall of famer of course and still top 5 in the league but it's almost like some magical fairy dust wore off over time.

i kind of wonder how many other coaches would have 'let' bradshaw score. it was fairly obviously the right choice, but unconventional enough that i think a number of coaches might have held tight and pinned their hopes on forcing a fumble/blocking a fg attempt.

yeah, def the right call, and I think so many other coaches would have been afraid of the casual fan's perception that they either wouldn't have dialed it up or they'd have dressed it up more. I like how Belichick parted the red sea to where it was obvious and Bradshaw's "OMG WHAT DO I DID???!!!" moment is all-time classic.

i dont remember the exact math but they were saying it'd be like :20 left? w/ no timeouts only needing a fg....i think the right play is prob not to score the td but it is at least debatable

also i guess the 3% chance he misses an extra pt distance kick

I was really holding out for a hope that Bradshaw woulda started running sideline to sideline Tecmo Bowl style to run out clock

some boston globe writer (not one of the usual pats beat writers of course, they are v good) already has a rant up like 'this is all your fault brady'

Field goals are usually automatic that close, but you do have three places it can go wrong with the snap, the hold and the kick. For some reason, just like with free throws, when the game is on the line the place kick seems to often bring out the screw ups.
