Your 2012 Superbowl LXVI Thread

this was a real weird superbowl soup to nuts

yep

i *angry swig* all the time tbrr. gisele and i have many other things in common, natch.

yeah i thought the halftime show was the best since prince

me too. but madge had some awkward lols, let's be real

lots of cringing in my household during that bleachers acrobatics bit

i just kept murmuring, "bad shoes, bad shoes, oh shit she's going to fall"

world peace got a lot of lols/groans at my house

yeah world peace was hilarious, also the slack-liner

i enjoyed it but what i enjoyed about it had very little to do with madonna, it was more just the spectacle and her amazing dancers. lots of people getting mad about her not really singing which i don't care about but i don't get why there has to be the pretense of her singing or doing anything. she should just stand there while her songs play and talented fit 20-year-olds do amazing stuff around her.

because she must DANCE FOR OUR AMUSEMENT

but don't you feel like she probably micromanages the spectacle? i've never had the money to see her live but from what i hear it's always amazing and she has to be the common denominator in all those shows. i am biased because i love her for all time.

oh i have no idea. i'll take your word for it and say kudos to madonna for an enjoyable ridiculous spectacle.

well then

i really like how while that dude was doing the bro version of cirque du soleil the choreographers were like "well i guess we should just have madonna air hump the wire???"

<3 matt light and gronk

i suspect that future generations will look back on that richard simmons lookalike in a toga on the low wire with madge as the nadir of western civilization

in not making that decision earlier he kinda threw the game. brady w/ 2 minutes and 2 timeouts? totally doable

yeah he should've LTS at the 2 minute mark. he waited too long

needing to make that call was a direct result of the safety at the beginning of the game. Otherwise the Pats would have held them to a field goal and taken it to OT.

I mean that seemed like a genuine coaching mistake to me and one that bb should be grilled for even, but since it's so counterintuitive and moneyballish it's not gonna happen.

/ also since the pats did let them score (just not soon enough)

it's a hard decision to make when the offense has done nothing with the ball for 20+ minutes, tho. i was yelling at them to let the first bradshaw run go in, but before that it is not as easy a call as you make it sound. it's the flip of the 4-and-2 decision where the offense was hot and the defense couldn't stop anything.

words i don't need to hear: "shirtless matt light"

lol

that dude bouncing on the wire was by far the best part of the halftime show

looks like Biggus Dickus from The Life of Brian

well...give my love to the princesses...you'll see!

couldn't resist

BUT WEATHER'S NICE

gisele <3. with bianca (wilfork's wife) in that clip. i was offline for a long time and just saw it. that's the big deal? good grief, that's nothing.

she does have a point. it's not just that a couple of guys dropped passes but BB has really failed at drafting and developing any WRs.. they have no deep threat

i mean the consistent strategery of stockpiling all these picks and trading down every year.. it would be nice if belichick the coach didn't have to try so hard to make up for the deficiencies of belichick the personnel guy. maybe josh mcd will help

I'd take Gisele more seriously if her husband didn't spot the Giants the first two points of the game.

like he had a great game and had they won he would have been MVP but like don't act like he played no role in the loss! but then again it was an ambush taunt and hell who wouldn't get emotional and defend their man so more power to her? ehh wahtever

brady made his share of mistakes no question!

i read about this on some other nfl site long before actually watching it and appreciated ILNFL all the more, because elsewhere the story gets posted and someone immediately is like "he needs to get control of his woman" followed by 10,000 THUMBS UP

ugh

ugh, she says, before taking an angry swig of her bottled water.

I am so late with this but:

this was a real weird superbowl soup to nuts

I think you meant "slackline to nuts"

one thing that makes me happy about the giants winning is how angry chris christie gets about how everyone pretends like the giants aren't in new jersey

wow, this is kind of crazy. Mark Herzlich obviously pissed about missing the super bowl, but he compares the giants' win to one of the greatest tragedies of recent years.

subway was completely packed with blue today on the PATH train

siap

that rules

if only Gisele had stayed with Leo, she'd be complaining about Eastwood and Dustin Lance Black.
