Super Bowl XLVI

[294life]

Is still 2 weeks away so in the meantime I figure we can use this thread for the conference finals and all the hooplah leading to the 'second greatest football show on earth'. The first of course being the 100th grey cup in toronto. :D

Go Giants! Make it a close one at least.

Go Pats! If only to see Doug and Alexa happy this monday night at the Flutie bowl.

[Will]

It looks like rain in San Francisco tomorrow. In my opinion, that shifts the advantage from the Giants to the 49ers.

The Patriots should beat the Ravens, although you never know because the Ravens beat the Patriots a few years back.

Joe Paterno near death as per riderfans.com. Lung cancer taking a turn for the worst. Mixed blessing?

I'm cheering for two former Michigan Wolverine vqb's to face each other in the Super Bowl. Coach Jim Harbaugh and San Fran against Brady and NE.

The family has refuted this apparently.

EDIT: ESPN is breaking that he's passed away.

Gotta say, I'm enjoying watching the Ravens' D shutting down the Pats (end of 1st Q); we'll see if it lasts.

[294life]

Yup. Now he gets judged in the next life.

ravens hanging tough with the pats so far.

I could really go for a good old-fashioned Mud Bowl. Tired of the "cool" slickness. Want some down and dirty Football. Mud Slickness. May the best D win.

[Midnight Blue]

Oh man, if you're afraid to try a 51-yard FG in the playoffs, when do you try it?

[Midnight Blue]

Still 23-20 Pats at 2 min. warning.

I tuned into the last 8 minutes of the AFC championship and decided then and there that I wanted to see Baltimore advance only because Ricky Williams plays for them. Does anyone else think that the replay officials should have at least taken a closer look at the play in the final half minute where a Ravens receiver caught the ball in the endzone before it was knocked away from him? He caught the ball and appeared to take a step or two with it in the endzone. I am not sure that it was a TD but did it not at least warrant a second look?

I was also, rooting for Ricky Williams. And now that you mention it, the receiver did have possession, if even for a moment.

[Midnight Blue]

And I still have a vivid memory in my mind, of Ricky's Grey Cup TD return in 1991, and the beer can crashing just beside/behind him. Nice to see him still playing.

corrected. well at least Doug will be happy tomorrow.

[Midnight Blue]

Um, Thank you. Yes, that was The Rocket. But I remember many great bursts and runs by Williams.

Ricky was discovering himself in his early years; glad he finally got it together, and glad he made a career out of it.

Cheers!

[ArgoGabe22]

Honestly I only remember Ricky making 2-3 yard runs. I do remember him making a 20 yard run once.

[294life]

oh goody. overtime.:ohno:

[294life]

Yes!!!!! Giants win!!! Super Bowl XLII rematch. :hug:

[Will]

I thought that game was never going to end! You just know that Tom Brady and Bill Belichick want to destroy New York right now to get vengeance for 2007.

Also, for all the c**p that Eli Manning has taken he now has as many Super Bowl appearances as his brother Peyton.

If they go in with that mindset they are sure to lose. Off to see Doug and Alexa. I won't tell them I'm rooting Giants. :o

[Will]

You gotta feel for guys like Billy Cundiff and Kyle Williams. I know they are professionals paid money, however to be one of the primary reasons your team didn't advance to the Super Bowl has got to put a weight on you. Williams wasn't even the 49ers primary KR/PR as Ted Ginn Jr., was injured for the game. Cundiff almost goes into the ranks with Scott Norwood or Mike Vanderjagt in the missed FG department.



If they go in with that mindset they are sure to lose.

Nah, not with Belichick.

[1argoholic]

The guy that dropped the sure TD is at fault for Baltimore.

[argolio]

The guy that dropped the sure TD is at fault for Baltimore.By the "old" NFL rules, there's a good chance that would have been called a TD.

[294life]

Whatever happens this sunday I'll be happy. I'm glad that both of these teams are in it. Still.....Go Giants! one last time. :hmmmm:pleeeeze.....

[Will]

Madonna is painful! She might have more money than I'll ever have, but she's painful!

[294life]

Like a Prayer's not bad. Saves the show a bit. Grey Cup 100 has to be a killer show. Nickelback only played 3 songs.

[1argoholic]

I hated disco the first time around. Madonna ranks right in there with that CRAP! Give the NFL one thing they no how to market the life out of a game that rarely holds a candle to the hype.

[Will]

A close game throughout, but no real excitement until the last five minutes or so. Eli now has more Super Bowl rings than Peyton, which is interesting I think considering the grief that Eli has gotten throughout his career. Remember at the beginning of the year how everyone was making a big deal about Eli saying he was an "elite quarterback," well I don't think he needs to defend himself now to anyone.

[1argoholic]

No doubt Eli is a great qb. But way to much yapping about winning Super Bowls and The Hall Of Fame. So you tell me that Jim Kelly and Dan Marino are crap because they never won a Super Bowl? Man I really get sick of it. Last time I looked football was a team game.

Warren Moon was an excellent NFL QB too despite not getting close to a Super Bowl. Likewise, Dieter Brock only got to one Grey Cup in his 11th and final season in the CFL and he is still in the Hall of Fame.

Where did I say anything about Jim Kelly or Dan Marino being crap?

[1argoholic]

No I didn't mean you. I mean the NFL reporters. They go on and on about how much it means to win or lose the Super Bowl and compare qb's based on Super Bowl wins or loses. I just stated that Kelly and Marino were great qb's regardless. I get sick of the NFL's so called experts and how they go on and on as if a guys career is only worthy if he's won multiple Super Bowls.

It does go a long way to cement someone's legacy IMO winning multiple Super Bowls. However, you're right if you consider the example of a Terry Bradshaw. He was a terrific QB, but I don't think he can be considered at the level of a Marino.

:love:Giants 4ever.
