OT: Super Bowl Media Circus

[dash]

On a related note, Vijay Singh has withdrawn from the Phoenix Open this weekend after admitting he has used deer-antler spray. I guess that means no bucks for Vijay.

Maybe behind him cornerback Chris Culliver talking:

"I don't do the gay guys man," said Culliver, whose Niners play the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. "I don't do that. No, we don't got no gay people on the team, they gotta get up out of here if they do. Can't be with that sweet stuff. Nah…can't be…in the locker room man. Nah."

Bonus tweet from Culliver:
Boy I wake up to a mean txt females in general just be -- well let me just say they be on there PERIOD!! #1 love is mom dudes!!! Period

Then across the room Joe Flacco talking about a Ney York Super Bowl:
Yeah, I think it’s retarded. I probably shouldn’t say that. I think it’s stupid.

When in doubt I think all players should just keep talking. Go on and on, nothing bad could happen.

Then across the room Dennis Pitta having the nerve to not take things seriously!

He needs to focus and not take things lightly. One of his questions was actually "On a scale of 1-to-10, how ticklish are you?". These questions deserve respect, not a player goofing off.

I thought Pitta was awesome. People take this stuff way too seriously.

And there's only so many times you can be asked the same question by ESPN before it gets annoying.

Saw on CNN that one of the skyboxes for the game is $420,000.

A three bedroom house in the French Quarter is $415,000.



Can we even call it a sporting event at this point?

Culliver is some kind of idiot.

And I think Pitta might be the only Raven I like. I haven't liked a Raven since Todd Heap. I'm sensing a trend here.

No love for Ray Rice?

So you like tight ends with good hands. Culliver may not like you!

What are you? Some kind of a cheapskate? Kidding, when I was asked if I wanted to go to the Colts game I had some serious doubts. My friends regular season tickets are $95 and I had no idea how much playoff tickets would be. I may be cheap (and it was right after Christmas and I was short of funds) but if the tickets would have been anywhere near double I would have declined. They turned out to be $130 so I could handle that, it was the first and maybe only playoff game I ever went to.

Well, if you don't want to shell out 400K for a skybox, you can get a club level seat for $40,000.

Or, you can get one of these:

130 for a playoff ticket is fine, I'd totally do that. I pay up to 200 for a playoff game.

Well, not THAT game. I would have been killed. But you get the idea.
