Super Bowl XLIII Thread

Thomkal · 02-01-2009, 04:43 PM

Only 40 minutes or so to kickoff! Can't tell you how pumped I am to see my beloved Cards playing in the big game. Good luck to the Steelers and their fans, but:

Go Cards!

Northwood_DK · 02-01-2009, 04:56 PM

We are ready in Denmark.

Looks like we will have announcers Bob Papa and Sterling Sharpe from the NFL Network calling the game on the international feed.

As the winner of the 2011 NAFL Super Bowl with Arizona I will cheer for the Cardinals tonight.

DaddyTorgo · 02-01-2009, 05:00 PM

here we go cardinals! if ever a team deserved a "pity-win"

sterlingice · 02-01-2009, 05:01 PM

Seriously, the Sunday Night Football intro?

It's Faith Hill, so I'm not complaining.

sterlingice · 02-01-2009, 05:07 PM

Did NBC sell out all of their ads? I remember reading they had a couple left this week.

SI

miami_fan · 02-01-2009, 05:10 PM

Anything significant come out during the hours of pregame coverage? I was fortunate enough to miss it all today.

Thomkal · 02-01-2009, 05:12 PM

Eaglesfan27 · 02-01-2009, 05:12 PM

Go Cardinals! Represent the NFC well.

DaddyTorgo · 02-01-2009, 05:16 PM

man - nbc must have gotten a great deal on faith hill - LOL

sterlingice · 02-01-2009, 05:16 PM

These aren't the words to the national anthem...

SI

Kodos · 02-01-2009, 05:18 PM

I'll be happy with whoever wins, as long as it is a good game. But I'll need to wait a while to start so I can zoom thru commercials, halftime, and crap.

Good luck, Kurt Warner!

DaddyTorgo · 02-01-2009, 05:19 PM

who's this jennifer hudson chick and why isn't faith hill doing the national anthem?

DaddyTorgo · 02-01-2009, 05:20 PM

dola

and yes i'm serious and i'm that out of touch

sterlingice · 02-01-2009, 05:20 PM

My wife just asked that same question.

SI

Eaglesfan27 · 02-01-2009, 05:21 PM

I was reading about all of the various prop bets and there was actually a prop bet on whether Hudson would extend the National Anthem beyond 2:01 I believe.

was she an american idol winner?

Eaglesfan27 · 02-01-2009, 05:21 PM

She was a finalist on American Idol a few years ago and has been a huge hit on Broadway ever since. I think she also won an Academy Award for her role in Dreamgirls or whatever that movie was called.

She didn't win. I think she finished 4th.

SirFozzie · 02-01-2009, 05:22 PM

I think I should have bet this one, and bet the over.

DaddyTorgo · 02-01-2009, 05:23 PM

aaah. well at least she apparently has real talent i guess. *shrugs*

SirFozzie · 02-01-2009, 05:24 PM

And members of her family were murdered (her mother and brother) by the estranged husband of her sister late last year (October)

MJ4H · 02-01-2009, 05:26 PM

jennifer hudson was very good. she has gotten a lot better since she was on idol. good for her.

Eaglesfan27 · 02-01-2009, 05:27 PM

Elway's face doesn't look very good in Hi-Definition. I guess he should be commended on not going the route of plastic surgery.

SirFozzie · 02-01-2009, 05:28 PM

NFC wins the toss for the 12th straight year

DaddyTorgo · 02-01-2009, 05:28 PM

mmm lightly salted peanuts and the superbowl

sterlingice · 02-01-2009, 05:30 PM

We've already has boneless wings, mozzarella sticks, beer brats, and fries. Probably done for the night- glad we ran earlier today as that will at least blunt some of that horrible food a little.

Eaglesfan27 · 02-01-2009, 05:36 PM

Impressive drive by Big Ben so far.

SirFozzie · 02-01-2009, 05:38 PM

Robble-Robble berger somehow avoids recreating his motorcycle accident and scores on a leap.

Eaglesfan27 · 02-01-2009, 05:39 PM

Looked like he broke the plane to me.

Thomkal · 02-01-2009, 05:39 PM

*sigh* Not the start I was hoping for, the Cards should have taken the ball first I think

SirFozzie · 02-01-2009, 05:42 PM

4th and goal, wow.

Dr. Sak · 02-01-2009, 05:42 PM

Good call

Radii · 02-01-2009, 05:42 PM

great challenge.

DaddyTorgo · 02-01-2009, 05:42 PM

wow - cards win the challenge - that looked hella conclusive to me

big call for PITT

Radii · 02-01-2009, 05:43 PM

And a huge win for Arizona holding them to a FG here.

mauchow · 02-01-2009, 05:43 PM

Field Goal. Waffle.

Just run it in for crying out loud.

Thomkal · 02-01-2009, 05:43 PM

that could be a huge overturn

sterlingice · 02-01-2009, 05:45 PM

The Doritos ad- not good

SI

Izulde · 02-01-2009, 05:45 PM

Pepsi one was pretty good too.

SnowMan · 02-01-2009, 05:46 PM

Well at least they got the call right, even if it's 3 years late! (I'm not bitter, nope)

Alan T · 02-01-2009, 05:47 PM

I laughed at that Doritos ad too. Not sure why but I did

I just said that exact same thing to my dad.

mauchow · 02-01-2009, 05:47 PM

I need some damn soda... Hmm... Halftime is in an hour and fifteen minutes... Or pause it and come back?

mauchow · 02-01-2009, 05:49 PM

Wait. Why is it a first down when it was a hold before the first down line?

sterlingice · 02-01-2009, 05:50 PM

Might want to be careful to not get a late hit there, trying to screw with Boldin's injury

SI

Eaglesfan27 · 02-01-2009, 05:52 PM

That Conan commercial was the first one that got a chuckle out of me.

SirFozzie · 02-01-2009, 05:55 PM

needed to throw that a bit longer
