These days I am Denver Mannings fan first

Wasn't watching football at the time of SB XXXII. Not my first choice for a favorite team, but considering the other options, go Horses.

Still hate that thePackers lost to Denver, but at least I can stomach them and Manning a little more than Seattle.  Go Elways!

Agree there. 

 

EDIT: I like Manning if the weather is 30 degrees or above.  

Go Broncos.

I can't take two weeks of a Peyton Manning tongue bath, but can't stand Pete Carroll or Stannous Tate either.

At least the Australian Open is going on and Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova are both out.

And the Bundesliga resumes this weekend.  Of course, the attempt at the sixth CL title is going to be more interesting.

Disagree.  The Hawks have significant Packer ties in the front office.  Go Hawks... F Manning. 

Eff the Broncos. Eff Elway. 

 

Go Seahawks!  

F the

I could flip a coin on this one...

 

I like Peyton, but I hate the Broncos for XXXII (I hold a grudge)

 

I like Russell Favre and Jon Schneider, but I hate the Seahawks for the Fail Mary (again, the grudge)

 

Oh, hell, I guess I'll root for the Hags to represent the NFC. I reserve the right to switch allegiance if a valid argument is presented up until kickoff on Feb 3, however.

Did Goldie have the game moved back so the stuff she posts on it won't be a day after the rest of us talk about it? 

Oh, damn, I just got pwned by Fedya.

 

Feb 2...mea culpa.

Which former Badger to root for? Wilson or Ball. Hmm! Personally, I hope the Hawks lose it on a bad call.

You should have said you were someplace in the eastern hemisphere where the kickoff really would be on Feb. 3 local time. 

What day of the week will the Super Bowl be on this year?

I didn't go to the University of Wisconsin, so I don't have that dilemma.

Offhand, the only player I can think of who I'd really want to see win a SB is

Thanksgiving?

This isn't Detroit, man, this is the Super Bowl!

Wasn't INTFavre one of Kaeperdink's idols? Now they both have something in common: throwing away a Super Bowl. I miss Favre's faded ol' baseball cap when I see Kaeperdink up there looking like a gangsta... But the classy Rodgers makes both of them look silly.

 

I've never understood why so many Packer fans continue to hate the Broncos just because they beat the Packers in the SB. Sure, for a couple of years after it, I liked seeing the Broncos lose, but I don't give two craps about them now. The Packers went into that game as an overconfident bunch (blame the coaches for that), and Denver just happened to be the team that was good enough to make them pay for it. Who can ever forget NFL Films capturing Eugene Robinson saying "This team isn't better than us, they're not even good!". Any bitter feelings I have about that game are directed towards the coaches (their mental preparation of the players was awful, and the play calling wasn't very good either), Gabe Wilkins, Darius Holland and Favre.

I have lived in Colorado for 33 yrs now.  Broncomania made me hate the Broncos for years and then my worst nightmare came true when the Packers let the Broncos win that darn SB in San Diego.   Most of their fans in the stands are jerks too. 

 

Nowadays, I have come to tolerate Broncomania.  It was almost nauseating this last week and now it will be completely over the top boasting and gloating for the next two weeks.

I'm not completely over that Super Bowl against the Broncos, but it's nowhere near as fresh and intense as my dislike for this Seahawks team. I don't really get the hate for Kaepernick though. He has tattoos and he has kind of a stupid celebration? Did I miss some interview where he was a total chode like Richard Sherman or something?

One word: Pete Carroll.

Go Denver

I never said my grudges had any logical basis.

I prefer Wilson to Manning. 

I could never bring myself to root for the seahags, well except for yesterday.

 

Go ponies.

 

 

 

I concur. There is not one thing more distasteful to me in this game than him. Smug bastage.

Stanford grad, 4.0, post-graduate degree... great emotion in the moment. Andrews was talking to him within 3-5 minutes after the play. 

anyone think Crabtree had his lips zipped all game as well?

After watching the 49ers trash talking through the GB and Carolina game.  NO!

Go Broncos!!!

 

The reasons I hated the Broncos who won Super Bowl XXXII were guys like Romanowski, Sharpe, Shanahan.  They are long gone.  Elway is still there in the front office, but truth be told, I never really disliked him anyways.

Living in the Pacific Northwest, I have tolerated Seattle sports radio all year. They have had a space dusted off for their trophy since week one. I hope they get beat down by Manning to teach them a little respect for the game and how difficult it is to win it all.

 

Go Broncos.

Oh heavens me.  I am aghast that a 25 year old athlete talked trash on national TV about a 26 year old athlete.  

 

Broncos are indeed the bastion of class and respect for the game.  

 

I am a fan of Manning's, and I can't stand Carroll.  Go Denver!

Has the addition of Peyton Manning made the Bronco's the St. Louis Cardinals of football?

I thought Sherman's rant was hilarious.
