One more thought: I know the Seahawks are unstoppable superweapons that have no flaws and the Patriots are lucky to win nearly every game, but I have a sneaking feeling this game will get ugly. Like Patriots 41-17.

How can you make that comment? The Seahawks were 3-3, 6-4 and 2 games from the 1 seed with 4 games to play. They got LUCKY to be where they are. That game Sunday was hand delivered to them from a comedy of errors by the Packers. They are lucky to be in the Super Bowl. From what I've seen from the Patriots, there was no luck involved in there trip. Pretty handily beat both teams they faced. Do I think the Seahawks are going to win like they did last year, no way in hell, but the way they got there this season versus last season is far from dominating. Add the fact that Thomas and Sherman were both injured significantly will play into it. I will obviously believe that they can win, but I told people before Sunday that I didn't have a good feeling about the NFC Championship. Worried there were going to be some untimely turnovers and that if the Seahawks turned the ball over they were going to lose. I will take the result, but they aren't unstoppable and I don't hear that with any reports that I've watched, I've always heard the experts question the offense and talk up the defense. Go look at the stats. Rodgers 178 yards and 2 picks, Lacy only 78 yards when he had 40+ in the first half, so the defense definitely deserves the respect they have been given, but the offense has been lucky. I don't disagree with your possible score though we'll see. Just remember, Denver was the greatest offense in history statistically last year, just sayin'.

Tom Brady is not Peyton Manning, that's why. One is possibly the greatest QB of all-time and one is just great.

And the Patriots are lucky to be there? Gotcha.

some interesting hires at the coaching position this year:

John Fox @ SF
Gary Kubiak @ Denver
Marc Tressman to Ravens as OC

But the most puzzling one to me is Doug Marone to Jacksonville as a Line coach for the O and D Lines. Giving up the head coaching job and then ending up as an assistant may prove to be the bonehead move of the year. 4 million dollars withstanding , he must of been grading himself on a curve of one cause no one else agreed with him.

John Fox went to Chicago.

Fuck.. correct. Fox to Chicago and Tomsula to SF.

He's also assistant head coach, not just line coach. He will be 2nd in command.

We also hired Greg Olsen today.

Coug, step away from the keyboard for a bit.

And ESPN reporting that 11 of the 12 balls the Patriots had were underinflated by two whole pounds. What a bunch of cheating fucks.

Yep, all they do is cheat and win games they weren't supposed to.

For thirteen years.

It seems like I'm in the minority here... I actually like both teams. (I like Green Bay more than either though). I'm looking forward to the game, but I don't expect it to be that exciting until the 4th quarter. I have a feeling it's going to be a pretty slow paced game.

Go pats. Bigmike is a huge pats fan and I will root for his team.

I demand that Belichick be suspended 1 season and the Pats lost draft picks...evidence or not!!!

[trendon]

This story is so ridiculous, there are a lot of people posting shit like, "I hate the Patriots but I feel for them."

Colts used to do it all the time when Manning was there, they just didn't get caught.

May as well, Goodell would just botch the investigation, and I wouldn't ever serve my suspension.

I didn't say anything about being a homer. You're going off the deep end right now. But please, ignore me and continue

I see this as a pitcher doctoring a baseball to thier liking. Some go a bit further than others. Teams are reportedly asking for a 3rd/4th round pick lost and a fine. Silly to me to think this isn't widely done.
