Open Super Bowl Thread
Since there is literally nothing else going on in sports this afternoon, and because many of us will be watching it, how about a Super Bowl open thread?
No Puppy Bowl spoilers!
SBNation.com has comprehensive SB coverage, of course. Here's a stream on the commercials (with many of them already posted), and a stream on the game itself and everything associated with it. (If you 'like' that stream, all major updates will go straight to your Facebook news feed. It's quite useful for big events like this.)
The teams are covered at Big Blue View (Giants) and Pats Pulpit.

….closing statement… everyone talks about the niners game, i dont think people get how lucky the Giants ever are that they beat the packers
they got fumbled all the way into the superbowl, now they’re gonna beat the shitty patriots who should have lost to the ravens, and everybody is gonna love the giants and peaches is gonna be happy….

Yes,
but what I got form the commercial was that it took at least two seasons for that dog to lose 15 lbs, and that just doesn’t look worth it
Took me about a year to lose
60 so that’s five a month. Not that bad and really wasn’t that hard.

I'm pretty sure Stephen A Smith is the mist obnoxious person on ESPN
But Bayless is second. The fact that Both of them are on one show us almost too much to bear though.

i wish there was some possible way that they could just..... both lose
like the refs just call the game and say “these teams suck ass, nobody wins, trophy returned to nfl”

really only because they beat the packers and niners when i feel they should have lost both games

I noticed that Raiders fans (such as myself) were rooting for the Giants and Niners fans were semi-rooting for the Patriots.

the giants dont know how lucky they are the packers deciding to commit football suicide instead of actually playing that game
it was gonna be packers back to back, it was meant to be
