Even though I really hope that both teams lose today I will probably watch the game simply because it's on. Shame on me!

Im not sure. Good question. I guess the NFL has been too ignorant to realize that if they give any team a two hour window to cheat... they will. I was surprised the game balls weren't always locked up until they take the field. It's like checking a UFC fighters gloves a half hour prior to the fight. Stupid.

I never knew, until deflategate, that each team was allowed or required to provide their own balls and that the QBs could scuff them up to their liking. Absurd to me.
5 minutes to go....no matter how it ends, it is one of the more exciting and entertaining Super Bowl games.
I agree.

We're getting "our moneys worth".
Another Seahawks miracle finish?
THATS A CATCH!!!!!

I can't believe they didn't run Lynch!!!!!! A rookie free agent from West Alabama makes the play of the game! HEAD SLAP!
Poor call. They had 3 chances to run it 1 yard.

Disgusting way to end what was a superb game. Shame on you Seahawks! You make me ashamed.
They had 3 chances to run it 1 yard. Yes worst call ever.
What a bizarre finish!!! Worth the price of admission.
Yes worst call ever. Unbelievable that an NFL coach would call a pass in that situation.
I wonder if it was Bevell or Carroll who made the call?
Infamous last words... :)
I would think Carroll made the call. Dumbest thing I've seen.

Infamous last words... :) Whoever decided to pass could have a great career with the RNC.
Infamous last words... :) You would be correct if they were the last words. What do you not understand about the words "about to" but never did. I would thank you for paying such so much attention to my posts but you give me a creepy feeling like you are some kind of buzzard or hyena just lurking around.
Good golly molly, lighten up. I'm still laughing about the outcome of a game I originally didn't give a shit about. --- When you made your comment, I damn near replied in agreement.
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nf...=AwrT6V3L785UAk0AZSMnnIlQ One former New England Patriots standout will not be watching Sunday's Super Bowl. But there's a worthy reason for that. Aaron Hernandez, currently incarcerated and in the middle of a murder trial in the death of Odin Lloyd, will not be permitted to watch Super Bowl XLIX, featuring his former Patriots team against the Seattle Seahawks. [Related: Grading the best and worst Super Bowl XLIX commercials] Bristol County Sheriff Tom Hodgson told ABC News that Hernandez, who remains in the same solitary confinement cell in the Special Management Unit in the jail at North Dartmouth, Mass., that he was brought to after his arrest in June 2013, will not be able to watch television — and that includes Sunday's game. "His classification has not changed since the last time he was here," Hodgson said. "He remains under the same restrictions that he was last time he was here." Interestingly, the jury will be allowed to watch the game — something the judge overseeing the case allowed — but the man on trial, Hernandez, will not. It's a fascinating bit of trivia, but Hernandez was the last recepient of a Tom Brady touchdown pass in a Super Bowl, early in the third quarter of the eventual loss to the New York Giants in XLVI.
Touche. Frankly I still what both of them to lose but it was a good game to watch right up to the end.
That's something alright. Not sure what, but something. I wonder if Herandez GAS abut the game.
Well, he most certainly is a loser. What a waste of flesh.
I agree. Birds of a feather, canaries together.
I'm not a fan of either team but was plugging for the Seahawks. Worse call of their season when it counted most. Big running back with legs like tree trunks, gained 4 yards on the previous play; one yard from winning it all after a miraculous catch...Bubba ya run the ball. Also given Wilson got picked two weeks ago three times trying to thread the needle. Bad call. But it was the most exciting last few minutes of SB football since the Bucs beat the Titans. Titans coming up short 1/2 yard when the clock ran out.
"Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools " (Romans 1:21-22)
Worse (sic) call of their season when it counted most. I've been reflecting on it. Ballsy call when Seattle went for 6 points with 6 seconds remaining in the first half instead of 3 - success! Ballsy call going for the pass from the one yard line at the end - backfire! I lost 5 bucks on the Seahawks, not that I'm a big fan of either team. This game shouldn't be judged by one play, but it will.
I ended up watching "Blood and Chrome", a few episodes of "True Justice" and an episode of NCIS. I don't think I've watched the Super Bowl since the Ravens waxed the Giants.

Get accused of blasphemy by both sides!

THE most un-charming, un-likeable band of thugs since Ray Lewis' Ravens. I was pulling for Pats :-) Worse call of their season when it counted most. Big running back with legs like tree trunks, gained 4 yards on the previous play; one yard from winning it all after a miraculous catch...Bubba ya run the ball. Also given Wilson got picked two weeks ago three times trying to thread the needle. Bad call. Q: Was it Pete Carrol's hubris that did the Seahawks in? Dunno about how bad a call most observers say it is. Hadn't Pete Carrol has been right EVERY single time before this in the playoffs? In this game he eschewed the FG for gambling for the TD at the end of the first half. Nobody credited him there. Shoulda been 14-10, Pats at the half. Instead, Seattle gained momentum that carried them thru the 3rd quarter, building what seemed to be an insurmountable 10-point lead. Surely a single yard for the GW TD from big ol' Bubba was a foregone conclusion...OR was it? The Pats were going to be collapsing the box in desperation. Was there was a chance for negative yardage? OR, does Lynch and the O-Line steamroll the Pats? We'll never know. Carroll took the approach he always takes -- the unconventional. It's how he rolls. Taking candy from a baby with a surprise quick slant. Wilson was deadly all day and would be the MVP. Ooops, the route got jumped by a guy who made the play of his life. Versus the Pack, Carroll gambling and won the game on that fake FG that turned into an easy TD; punted the ball to the Pack with two and a half minutes left, gambling the Hawlks would get the ball back; rolled the dice and recovered the ball on that fluke onsides kick; went for the 2-point conversion, and got it. That he got second-guessed (even by his own players) on his play-calling is wrong. Without Carrol's dice-rolling, Seattle isn't anyway near this Super Bowl. The Pack are. But it was the most exciting last few minutes of SB football since the Bucs beat the Titans. Titans coming up short 1/2 yard when the clock ran out. That was a good game too. Pretty wild. This one was as wild as can be. Based on multiple story-lines, this was a couple of notches more exciting than the Giants win vs. the Jim Kelley-led Bills and that missed FG back in '91.
Ballsy call when Seattle went for 6 points with 6 seconds remaining in the first half instead of 3 - success! Yup, everyone forgets what a momentum-changer that was. AND huge balloon-deflater of Patriot confidence. Seattle went on to dominate the 3rd quarter, and half the 4th... The elephant in the room: The vaunted Seattle defense got picked apart by Brady for TWO TDs with 7:00 to go in the game and lost the game.
Wow, really? That was what -- 2001?? This one was so compelling that it transcended the game. It was both a clash of style and culture.
If the 2 teams don't interest me I don't watch it, the game itself really isn't that big a deal its just like any other game except for more hype about usually nothing. I have a whole bunch of stuff on the DVR so I was just going thru it looking to clean some things up, it's about 85% full. Released in 2012. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlestar_Galactica:_Blood_%26_Chrome

He should have brought in all his Tight Ends in a stacked running formation to give the Patriots something to think about. Then he has the option of throwing or running if it looks like one of the TEs would be uncovered.

You'd have made a great Offensive Cordinator ;-) No way they'd have stopped that...along with Wilson faking the hand-off on that play, then rolling left. Two unstoppable options right there.
I hear ya. Hate the hype. The over the top media jock-sniffing. Chicks moderating NFL panels. Half time circus. The over-analysis of minutia I try not to let that nonsense ruin the game for me. Dunno about "just another game" -- depends on the match up. If there are exceptional teams playing, there is some sort of intrigue, as in the Pats vs. Hawks or even the Pack vs. Hawks game. Usually I give the Championship games, or SB a quarter to a half to intrigue me, then bail out. Any time you've got the best cerebral QBs like Brady and Rodgers going up against a supposed all-time great defense, it's like two titanic heavyweights clashing.
Couldn't get into Battlestar Gallactica. (Were the premises plausible?) Or the new Star trek series, which was better than I'd thought at the time. Maybe I was just rejecting the PC stuff and social statements I thought I was sensing.
I get into some Sci Fi stuff (especially the stuff with good special effects and action segments) not all of it, some of it is dumb and not worth watching. There are thinking about using Brian Cranston as a villain in the making of Star Trek 3 with Chris pine as Capt Kirk. And have also seen this. www.imdb.com/title/tt2621446/

Especially when it's by older players who were better than who is currently playing.

Wow Chekov must be like 150 in that new series.
