2 - ah, don't have a second comment at this point so here's a Favre BWW SB ad.

Just hope for a good game...8 months till real FB is played again.
There is balance in many things when Tom and Bill lose Super Bowls. Except when Pete and Bevell thought having the chosen one win it was the right call. That was special.
You take Adam Vinatieri away and who knows what the Pats history looks like.
This week Adam walked onto the set of ESPN and Charles Woodson told him, "Still hate you" and he wasn't trying to be funny. Charles is never letting that tuck rule game go.
That's why I love Charles.
Adam V is the only kicker in NFL history to "give up" (2) kick returns for a touchdown in the Superb Owl....and both of those returners had the initials DH
Desmond Howard. Devin Hester.
Minny has to be at the top of the list for total kickoff returns. When you never lead at any point of 4 Super Bowls and get outscored 95-34 you are returning a lot of kicks.
They never returned one for a TD. The Vikings Suck!
They never lead...too bad.
By the way, I heard today that the Pats have never scored in the first Qtr of their SB games. too bad.
I think that's a Tom Brady Pats team has never scored in the 1st qtr of a SB.
I vaguley remember Tony Franklin kicking a figgy a few minutes in-in 85 and the announcers mentioning the team that scores first usually wins.
Wait there are still football games going? The season ended two weeks ago though?
Every Pats SB win has been close. They could be 0-8 as easily as they could be 6-2. Game of angstroms.
I want to see the Pats win to witness the very awkard moment that Goodell presents the Lombardi trophy, or will he come down with the "flu" this weekend? Hmm.
I still can't yet.
Thank goodness for the commercials. I have low expectations for halftime and no interest in the game.

For whatever we all think of Favre, at least he isn't afraid to poke fun at himself (at least not if he's getting a big paycheck).
Maybe the new BWW commercial could be about Jenn Sterger.
FF.
Seeing three Brett's at the end of the commercial was pretty terrifying. That's a lot of interceptions.

Do they have a Lombardi Trophy with a deflated football on it in case the Pats win?
I live in NE. The Pats must lose if I'm to hold on to whatever sanity I have left.
I thought the commercial was funny
I also think 600 nuts shots is funny
Watching, delivering, or receiving?
yes
yes
Speaking of nut-shots, EKB gets full credit for this one
I won't be watching the game. The halftime shows are a joke, the commercials have completely sucked for years, and as far as I'm concerned, the football season ends as soon as the Pack is eliminated. If I weren't a 50 year die-hard fan of the Packers I wouldn't watch the NFL at all anymore. Rooting for the Pack is a hard habit to break. FUNFL and Goodell!
Maybe later when I have more time I'll post how I really feel about it! 
This is some sad schit right here:
Quick story:
During the Packers SB run in 2010, I was trolling the fan boards for the Falcons right before the divisional playoff game there. The boards admins/Mods were BEGGING Falcons fans to show up for the game, on time, and not sell their tickets.
Apparently during home games, it's quite common for Falcon fans to not show up until mid-way through the 1st Q, damn near the start of the 2nd. You know, like baseball?
WTF.

Atlanta has been a Baseball city for some time.
Was undecided who to root for until I saw this.
Go Falcons
Maybe they could pipe them in
During said divisional game, the Falcons fans left the stdium early. In between the third and fourth quarters, the NFL brought out the national champions of the "Punt, Pass, and Kick" competition in the various age/sex brackets. You could hear the fans politely applaud each of the kids, but every time there was one from Wisconsin, you could hear much louder cheering. I almost felt bad for the kids who weren't from Wisconsin and didn't get as much cheering.
Atlanta isn't a pro baseball town. They had trouble selling out Turner Field for the postseason in the 90s when they had Smoltz, Glavine, Maddux, and Avery.
Atlanta, more to the point Georgia, is all about College sports, the SEC and the ACC.
I'd bet Georgia Tech baseball is a bigger thing in Georgia than the Braves.

Yeah it was hilarious. We were there for the game early that season where the Falcons won and the Falcons fans talked a lot of sh*t. We went back for the playoff game and they were all over us. They busted our balls pretty good, not too bad compared to what I've heard from some other stadiums though. They were really full of themselves right before halftime, several people went to the bathroom when Tramon returned the INT for a TD. They didn't realize what happened and the look on their face when we explained it was PRICELESS. They all started to bail in the 3rd quarter and by the 4th all you could hear was GO PACK GO. The Falcon fans had emptied the stadium so much so that all the Packer fans moved down behind the benches and looked to be giving the Falcons a ton of sh*t. Packer fans packed he MARTA afterward and we yelled GO PACK GO all the way to our stop. It was a beautiful night. Bandwagon fans through and through, the south is like that for pro teams though.
If the Pats win the Superb Owl, it's all one gigantic LI
Matt Ryan wins MVP. Like he needed anything else to deal with before the biggest game of his life
Making matters worse. This happened.
I could see Ryan throwing 6 picks today.
I thought maybe Eugene Robinson was cavorting with hookers again. (Of course, that should have been perfectly legal.)
I have zero interest in this game football ended for me two weeks ago and I wont be watching. I think I am going to binge watch Shameless instead.
The only thing I want to see is Goodell having to give the Lombardi trophy to the Pats.
I watched Black Sunday again this morning. I forgot how s-l-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-w it was.
Although it is interesting to see Pat Summerall sober, and with Tom Brookshier instead of John Madden (who was still in coaching then).
I'm done with Home Depot.
I think this game will be ugly. Pats will go down. Then again, I have been wrong a lot this season.
T.V. goes on at 6:28.
Go Falcons.
