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

The tide has turned.
I am about to call the game for Seattle, especially of NE doesn't respond with points on this upcoming drive.
Infamous last words... :)
Infamous last words... :) Whoever decided to pass could have a great career with the RNC.
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.

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.
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.
