Super Bowl 50 Pre Game: News, Notes, Quotes, and Predictions

Go Donks! (I think I threw up in my mouth a little just typing that)

Let the ringless hillbilly stay that way and Peyton go out with a little dignity. 

Son of Bum.

Ok, watching Brett on TV talking about his Super Bowl.....

I'm over my distain for him.  

I 2nd the "Go Donks!" movement.  Always liked Peyton Manning and I've always been one that loves great defense (except if it belongs to the Seahawks). 

That said, I think Carolina wins.  They're stronger on the offensive line, and Newton is playing some great football.  

I want the Donks. If anything, get PM his ring so he can ride off into the sunset after having been great for the game. If Carolina wins and it's a close game, I don't want PM to hang on for another year thinking, But I was so close!  

Ive been rooting violently against the donkeys since I heard "This! Ones! For John!" played ad nauseum for 10 years

plus, living in NC and wife is from Charlotte - I wouldnt mind a little extra partying this weekend!

Cotchery , Davis, Olsen, Kuechly, Tolbert are all good guys.

Panthers have kicked ass since we crushed em at Lambeau. Theyre on a 21-2 roll and deserve the title. 

Respect Peyton but would not be able to stand the intense anus licking that would ensue if they upset the Panthers

I am rooting for Peyton, but I can't help but think Carolina wins by double digits.

Root for the villain. 

It's Cammie time

This Cam is never far away. 

Close low scoring game. A safety makes the difference, then Carolina pulls away late.  

Look out for some annoying, unauthorized social justice demonstration at halftime. Probably part of fake crowd by stage cheering on Coldplay etc.

Cool story about obscure Packer player's memories of first Super Bowl.

Go donkeys!  never in my lifetime would I have dreamed I would say that I have never liked them.  But every year once the Packers are eliminated I root for the AFC team.  That and I think Newton is a tool.

Denver's D is no joke and they keep the Broncos in the game in a low scoring game.  It comes down to a FG at the final whistle.  Panthers 13-10

I think the scoring in this game is going to surprise everyone.

Did you catch Aaron Rodgers describing the Miracle Mary pass Play of the Year went something like when he listed off the integral pieces..."Davante Adams misjudged the ball so all the DBs were blocked out behind him"...

Will not be a blowout although Payton did that last time.

Newton is young. Intercept.

Is there one redeeming aspect to CBS's NFL coverage? Not just the Super Bowl hoo haw but in general. Just one? It is mediocre at best and usually just plain bad.

I really liked having them bring out all the former MVPs. Great seeing them again.

(Did anyone notice Tom Brady getting booed?)

All I know... getting all those former Super Bowl MVPs out there was a great start to this.  Plenty of Packers representation there.  Kind of sad to see how old some of those guys I watched as a kid are getting, but still awesome to see all the history out there.

Cuqui, we have yet go through 3+ hours of Simms!

So is this the game thread too?  Is B K asleep already? 

Dreadful, that was a catch.

Hair splitter but the call was wrong.

Pride goeth before a fall... ?

The NFL pulling for noodle arm.

Clearly a catch.

How absolutely fitting that the refs would **** up such an important call.  The NFL reffing situation is bullcrap. Now everyone knows. 

A - wasn't a catch, nose of the ball hit the ground

B - son of bum

Boy when Scam misses he misses BIG.

Nice job, Talib.

C - you don't win a Superb Owl with a QB who completes less than 60%

I thought maybe their call was saying that at the time he became "down", he didn't have control yet? Incredible job of keeping the ball off the ground, though.

It's amazing what speed does for your team eh?

Im not watching. Is Cam dancing yet?

He is now.

Talib must really like having his name called

Denver had a first half as good or better than what they could have hoped for.

Talib is making sure to keep the Panthers in the game.

Talib is the MVP thus far, for the Panthers.

He was down by contact

Wow Peyton with a Willie Mays with the Mets moment there
