Now that's the way to do it

That's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus lineman roaming the countryside.

If only Leena was as good at comedy as she is at gaming

Barron's trying to put himself over, clearly this thread is in need of closure

If only there were a serious opportunity to deliberate over Kanyon's sexuality

Just because I thought it was interesting, further research shows the last time a SB losing team made the playoffs the following year and didn't go one and out was the 1996 Steelers (who went 1-1)

Bullshit. Now everyone's talking like the Seahawks are a bad team again? If they're such a terrible team, then the whole NFL sucks and you should just give up on football. Not so much a terrible team as a team with a penchant for collapsing in the postseason. 2Gold has a good point also. The last time the Super Bowl losing team made the playoffs the following season was Tennessee in 2000 (and even then they went one and out)

One good point by MiB: Remember, this Seahawks team in the playoffs was essentially the same team that had the "We want the ball and we're gonna score" incident followed by Marc Bulger passing up and down Qwest Field in the previous two playoffs... so this isn't that surprising

Let's go back to random fighting Hey Barron, you smell!

"Precious..."

I'm wondering why players would film vignettes with the Lombardi trophy... I'd figure that the superstition of the Stanley Cup (don't touch it before you win it) would apply to the other big sports as well. I know I wouldn't

Jim Rome said the comp for the MVPs appearing was $1000 plus covered 1st class air, board, game ticket and car rental

Rumor is that Montana wanted a $100k appearance fee... if true, then he is quite the fucking asshole. In that case, they should have brought in a cardboard cutout

I'd still like to know, too, why Montana and Bradshaw were absent from the Super Bowl MVPs ceremony

Another question: What does this do for Cowher and the HoF?

I tend not to think about the gambling thing much... though it might make sense since this is the first SB in five years to win the spread

With regard to the "how could the refs be biased against the Steelers three weeks ago and then for them last night", were I a conspiracy theorist, I would argue that three weeks ago the Colts were the story of the year for the NFL (big regular season, Dungy death) and so the NFL did want to see them go to the SB. Unfortunately not even the refs could overcome the vortex of choke emitted by Peyton and Dungy, so the Steelers moved on. When we wound up with a Steelers vs. Seawho? SuperBowl, the STOY shifted to Pittsburgh since the Seawhats? had nothing going for them from a hype standpoint. That's why there was a shift in bias, if you believe that. I don't, particularly, but that's how I'd argue it. For the most part I don't believe there are HUGE conspiracies in the NFL like Vern toyed around with, but I think there are some here and there. The biggest one that sticks out in my mind was the 1999 NFC title game between the Rams and Bucs where a Shaun King to Bert Emanuel pass that would have been a first down with good posiiton to score was reversed by the booth (inside two minutes left), because the NFL was saying "There's no way in hell we're letting Tampa go to the SB over the STOY Rams"

Come back, Tyler, I didn't really mean it

Certainly not because she's an upstanding citizen!

Wait, Tyler's happy? Fuck, I'm changing my vote

Christina Ricci has really lost weight

Now that I think about it, it's kind of funny... Indy is a stepping stone to winning the Super Bowl

Nope. Then what?
