Running Supe XLII/42nd Large And Important American Football Game Thread

This has to rank with the best Super Bowls in ages.

 

Truthfully, this game was a colossal bore for three quarters and got great only in the fourth quarter.

 

Defensive battle for three quarters and then you got a thrilling fourth. So what? It's like hanging out with a new neighbor and then in the last 10 minutes of chilling with her, she asks you to put it behind the five-hole.

 

Sigh.

Pats-Rams was a better game than this, and not because of the ending.

Would also say that Bills-Giants was a better game.

 

That's one hell of an analogy, though.

 

Because the point of the press conference is not necessarily to make him squirm, it's to get him to comment on the most significant issues. The fact that he walked off the field a second early is far down the list. You're right, he wasn't going to give a decent answer to any question in that situation, but that's no reason to start it off by asking him about something that had absolutely nothing to do with the outcome of the Super Bowl. He probably would have said something like, "After a game like that, the first thing you're gonna ask me is why I didn't stand out there to watch Manning take a knee?" And he would have had every right to say it.

 

Let's say it one more time before we turn the page on the 2007 NFL season: Emmitt Smith is murdering the English language.

he used the past tense of debacle.

 

I've always been partial to the Steelers/Cowboys Super Bowl XIII.

 

The past tense of debacle?

 

yeah, "they're a good team" was so much better.

 

Keep watching. You'll see it.

 

how did he pull that off?
