Can you do the board a solid and not post your idiocy for just this one day?
You really should just take a break today from trying to make others angry and miserable, besides, am pretty sure everyone has you figured out, even if you yourself have no clue.

Idiocy? You mean like, "Lynch is going to rush for 150 yards against the Broncos"?
No, not just one prediction made by a poster, your 100 plus posts a day being a total POS.
Remember what happened last time Manning was in the Super Bowl? It didn't work out so well. No reason to suspect foul play this time around either.
I don't buy conspiracy theories or the games being rigged or any of that. Ok, maybe there was a time in the NBA but that was quite a while ago. I also don't believe that bad officiating decides games as much as people think. The refs make lousy calls and yes, it puts teams in bad positions but championship caliber teams overcome that and find a way to get it done. Also, more often than not, bad calls go both ways so people have to just stop whining about it when it happens.
This game will be decided by the players on the field. One team has to win and one has to lose. The team that executes and doesn't make stupid mistakes will win and when it's all over, win or lose, we will get on with our normal working lives and the game needs to be left behind us. Throw out the tinfoil hats and don't live your life vicariously through your sports teams. Personally, I'm sick and tired of hearing about a game almost a decade ago. It has absolutely no relevance in today's game.

I have a friend who thinks that the SB has been rigged for some time now. Teams are lead to it by popularity of the times. The Refs guide this action. He first stated the Pats after 9/11 and the Saints after Katrina.....they both won. I don't believe this at all but if I found out that this was true I would never watch another game.
I've heard the whole 'it's rigged' thing myself and I don't buy it. There are so many elements to a game. 22 men, the weather, the mistakes made by a RB or QB....it's to much to control.
The Saints won after Katrina but it wasn't that season, it was 4 years later.
There are just so many great story lines in the NFL and it's easy to see ghosts where there are none.
Sometimes it's a guy you didn't expect doing something he doesn't normally do.
Rocky Blier in SB XIII. He jumped and made a catch over his head to end the half and give us the lead. Same game, our kicker slipped and drove a knuckleball to Randy White - who had a cast on his arm. He fumbles and we recover to set up our last TD.
Special teams can turn it. SB XXXI the Packers had a kick off for a TD. Last year it was Jacoby Jones.
Sometimes it is great play from an individual....Phil Simms completing his first 19 passes or John Riggins running people over...or Marcus Allen's 74 yarder.
That's what I love about this game - it's so unpredictable. There are SO many elements that determine a win or a loss.
There are so many stories to consider and I would add the onside kick to start the 2nd half by Sean Payton. All anybody remembers or talks about is the last minute int but that kick really got the Saints going mentally and put Indy on their heals for a good chunk of the game.
LOL that might be hard for a few around here
Going to make a losers exscuse thread early today so we can get it started before the first play of the game.![]()
Manning won't need any help from the refs. He isn't the MVP for no reason, he's the best football player on the planet. Get ready to be thunder struck.
BOOM
What are your thoughts on which hat Bruno Mars will be wearing at halftime? I'm thinking about throwing down some money on a fedora.
