The 2013 Super Bowl Thread!
 

Take your bets and odds now!

All I know is that I'm staying far away from strip club parking lots in Nawlins in two weeks.

Let's shift the tide from "Harbowl" to "Supharbaugh," mmkay?

Nice br!


I want the Ravens to win for teh Ray Lewis send off story more than the Colin K suck off special that will happen if the 49ers win. Better yet, what happens if Colin is injured in teh first quarter, and Alex Smith come sin and wins the game? That'd be awesome! Better yet, what if Colin is sucky in the first two quarters - four picks, and he gets pulled for Smith, who wins the game?

I vote Harbowl, rolls off the tongue better.

What's the over/under for how many energy drinks Jim drinks until the game?

Strong words from a seminarian! ;)

I'd be down for an Alex Smith revival.

Go 49ers I guess.

wouldn't mind seeing Ray Lewis get steamrolled in his final game

Flacco has won 6 playoff road games, which is more than any QB.

I can't stand either of these teams winning. Hopefully, the Mayans are just late in their predictions.

A great matchup IMO. My money (heart) will be on 49ers but my head tells me Baltimore.

Ravens are this year's Packers and NYG, their QB and defense has gotten hot at the right time. Media will overdo the brother vs brother and Ray Lewis but it'll be a good matchup. I like how the two HCs made big changes on offense during the season and they both worked.

Have to go with the Ravens. Scary Poe animals > greedy old moneygrubbers anyday

Couldn't happen to a worse human being.

Well, it COULD, but you have to flip the saying around. Anyway, Lewis is one of the last folks I'm rooting for to win a Super Bowl. He's ahead of Michael Vick, Rae Carruth, and some others, but way behind most other players.

Not defending Vick, but he wasn't complicit in the murder of two people. I'd throw Vick a ticker tape parade before rooting for Lewis. I don't understand the "feel good" stories around Lewis trying to win again.

Ill be rooting for the 49ers in the Superbowl

Go Niners.

+1

Have the opportunity to go to New Orleans. The 49ers << SF Giants, but these may well be one of those once in a lifetime kind of things.

I'm gonna watch reruns of the toenail clipping championship....That way I can stay away from any bloviating bobbleheads in the runup to the stupor bowl and all the insipid Ray Lewis stories.......

I'd think it was pretty friggin cool if I had 2 sons, and they both ended up with NFL head coaching jobs.

But, WOW, if they were facing off in the Super Bowl.

Jack Harbaugh has to be feeling pretty awesome right now.

I wonder if Caldwell is going to make more hay with is "revolutionary" strategy of not running every single first down.

The title of this thread should be "The Super Bowl XLVII thread". :D

I hope it is a good game that comes down to the end. I'm having a hard time not rooting against the Ravens. A lot of my facebook friends are from MD and I am seeing a lot of obnoxiousness since the game ended.

This.

I watch very, very little ESPN already, mainly live events. ESPN doesn't recognize hockey. NHL network doesn't recognize Ray Lewis or the Harbaughs.

About now is a great time to block uno through ocho.

G-Men!

To think that UCLA hired Rick Neuhesiel over John Harbaugh

Gotta root for the 49ers, even though it pains me.

Who to root for? Frank Gore or Ray Lewis?

I think it is a win/win for me either way. I would love to see people have to admit Flacco won a SB. I have a soft spot for the 49ers due to watching them growing up back in the Bill Walsh days. Just because the Lions were on the TV didn't mean I enjoyed it.

I hope Ray Lewis and the Ravens get murdered.


Too soon?

White suit? What white suit?

Now that I think about it, which will aggravate people more if they won this Super Bowl? Ray Lewis or Randy Moss?

NINERS!

<---Steelers fan but I have a begrudging respect for the Ravens and Ray Lewis as a player (although I, too, think he's a murderer).

That being said, I believe that the Niners win this game with ease.

I dunno- I recognize the Niners are favored, but their defense relies heavily on the front 4 being able to generate pressure without blitz help. When an offensive line can hold them (like the Falcons did) even without the threat of a running game, it gets a lot easier to generate yardage on them, as the Falcons showed.

I'd say that's probably Lewis, exponentially. I doubt half of non-49er fans even realize that Moss is playing.

I'm sure Randy wonders the same thing. :)

Have any folks here been to a Super Bowl?

Ray Lewis may have used banned substance to recover from torn triceps | ProFootballTalk

Thanks Ray Ray!

2004, Pats/Eagles in Jacksonville. Hell of an experience, really glad I went...wasn't even tempted to try to pick up tickets to this one despite my team being involved. Horribly overpriced, and it's a much better experience watching on TV.

Say it ain't so Ray. I'm sure when pressed, he will testify against his friends.

A player recovering from a torn triceps in weeks isn't normal??

Huh.

I didn't kill no motherfuckin' lion.

Oh, snap!

Jesus healed those triceps

Considering you'd be spending 4k a person, from what it looks like, I'd much rather buy 2-80" tvs or 1-90"tv with the 8grand spent on 2 people.

Im not even sure I'll be watching it

At the very least Joani is a girl and doesn't feel bad about not being an NFL head coach. The same can't be said for Peyton and Eli's brother...

With some pressure from my co-workers, we're hosting a Super Bowl party. BYOB and somewhat of a potluck dinner. I'm making Apple Pie drink (with everclear!), the Bacon Explosion, and popping popcorn in our Sam's Club popper (almost as big as movie theaters).

Former 49er news!

Former Raider Kwame Harris allegedly assaults ex-boyfriend - latimes.com

I understand how he's a former Raider, but seriously he played for a couple of years. He played for the Niners twice as long.

This was the most under-reported story in football.
