I'm going to watch the Raiders/Vikings game. My family was on vacation, we were visiting family in Hawaii, so I didn't get to watch that SB. When I got older I realized they saved me from myself, I was in Hawaii and I wanted to spend time sitting in front of a tv(not even high definition!) for hours. Finally, decades later, I can watch the entire game. Win!

Recounting of the long snapper from SB 38. I had never heard this before - crazy story.

God damn.
There's a clip somewhere on YouTube talking in-depth about that performance and how the producers were worried because of the weather.

Well worth the watch.

As someone who has watched every Super Bowl since Super Bowl XI, I've always felt that XXV was my favorite. A close, tense game between two evenly matched teams. Since most Super Bowls were blowouts back then, it really stood out as an all-time classic.

Those are undoubtedly knockoff jerseys. Caveat emptor. They're probably good enough to wear once to a Superbowl party but they won't hold up like an authentic jersey and there will probably be telltale signs for the discerning eye.

Yeah, I've written them off as counterfeits. Just surprised that no one has shut down or blocked the site by now.

Yeah, XXXIV with the Rams and Titans was probably my second favorite Super Bowl, though I'm hoping Super Bowl LI will be my all time favorite by Monday. :P

What's weird is that, although I am not a Patriots fan, I have always rooted for the Belichick-Brady Pats in the Super Bowl, but for different reasons each time:

Patriots vs Rams: Had to pull for the Pats since they were huge underdogs.
Patriots vs Panthers: Pbbbt! Never cared for the Panthers until Cam arrived.
Patriots vs Eagles: No way I'm going to root for the team that just beat us in the NFC Championship game!
Patriots vs Giants: I'm so sick of hearing about the '72 Dolphins popping Champagne corks when the last undefeated team loses every year. 19-0 Baby!
Patriots vs Giants: Now for Revenge and to prove that last Super Bowl against the Giants was a fluke.
Patriots vs Seattle: Boy, do I ever hate the Goddamn Seattle Seahawks (with the exception of Russell Wilson). Let's crush them! :twisted:

OK, my final prediction is the Falcons, 31-27. I figure it will be a close and entertaining game but we'll see.

I just rewatched SB 36 (thank you NFL films for putting it up on Youtube! Wish they were all there). Now I'm really scared - which probably amuses El Guapo to no end.

My brain pick - 24-20 Falcons
My heart pick - 37-23 Patriots...what I wouldn't give for a win where I didn't have to sweat it out to the last second.

I think it will come down to the turnover battle - whoever wins there will win the game. Well, unless Alex Mack can't go, then I like the Pats. But toradol is good stuff, so I doubt it's going to be a problem.

34-20 Atlanta is my guess.

I foresee a boring start, maybe the Patriots get an early field goal. Then someone on the Falcons, not necessarily Jones, makes a big play. From that point on Atlanta starts scoring. NE can't keep up, they can score but just not as fast and not as much.

ATL by two TDs? It's amazing that two people can analyze a matchup and come up 24 points apart (I am at Pats by 10).

I certainly hope you are right and I am wrong. :)

Big plays and turnovers. If just 2-3 from one team go the other way. ..

That tackle attempt by Brady was comical. Like a 10 year old girl trying to tackle Usain Bolt.

It will be interesting how they deal with the drones. With lots of drones in a small area and tons of phones I'll be pretty surprised if they are able to fly them without crashing at least one.
