Congratulations to Mr. Brady, Mr. Law, and Mr. Belichick on their win today.

No congratulations will be forthcoming for the team whose late hit hampered All-Pro quarterback Donovan McNabb and eventually took him out of the game.

I can't stand Phil Simms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (CBS announcer for NE/Indy.) He took potshots at Manning all day long. Any opportunity to say ANYTHING about Manning, and Simms had to turn it into a disparaging slam. He used to do the same thing with John Elway. All I can say is Simms is suffering from a small umm man syndrome or else he has a vendetta against all quarterbacks who played or play better than he ever did. Even the sound of his voice inclines me to toss a heavy projectile towards the TV.

Fanny his vendetta would encompass a heck of a lot of QB's. He was one of the all time least memorable guys to play that position. Talk about the embodiment of dipstick.

LOL Wink. And Simms' son was never good enough to have replaced that Texas QB oh what was his name Major Applewhite that's it. That never should have happened.

I agree; Simms has behaved in the manner of a dipstick.

Go Panthers!!!

While I didn't really have a STRONG preference, I was rooting for the Panthers and the Pats so I am pretty happy with the outcome. Tishala, I am sorry about that late hit on McNabb. That was shame.

I want the Panthers to win the Super Bowl. Do they have a prayer?? I think the Pats will dominate. I just hope it is a good game.

I'm with you now Hermione. Since the Eagles put out the Packers (errr....actually, since the Packers put themselves out)- I wanted Carolina to win. AFC- honestly I don't care either way because I'm not all that excited about any of those teams.

I think the Pats are at the Super Bowl entirely too much though so I did kinda want the Colts to get it.

Anyway...Super Bowl? I don't much care who wins. Just no overtimes and bring on Survivor!!!!

I'm with Hermi & Kaili. I'm going to root for the Panthers now.

And I agree, no overtime, just a good game and then HELLLLLLLOOOOO Survivor!

2 times in 3 years after only being IN the super bowl one other time (and losing) and that is too much exposure for the patriots?? Isnt that being a little negative?

I am not a huge patriots fan but really - I dont see why them winning the superbowl 2 years ago is a reason to not want them there now - they were ridiculed in 2002 for not having a chance and I think this will backup their win in 2002 as actually having a team deserving to win...

that being said, i am rooting for Carolina but am thrilled both my picks won yesterday - so i wont get too mad if the Pats win - as long as its a good game.. and we should know never count anyone out.

Ummm....yeah, I didn't really think I was being negative. The Colts have never been there and the Patriots have. Simple as that.

Personally, I don't really care at this point. I have no true interest in either of the teams that are there. I'm just picking one because there are only two to pick from.

no harm no foul :) just thought there would be other reasons to want the Colts there besides the fact the Pats already have been - but its all a matter of wording and who really cares about that, right? :)

Nope- no other reasons. I don't know anything about the Colts whatsoever. I don't know that I have ever watched one of their games. Generally I only pay attention, during regular season, to the teams the Packers play and to the other North division teams.

When playoffs come around, I pretty much only am interested as long as the Packers are in. I would also be interested in and support the Cardinals (not because of Poole but because I used to live in AZ) but...like that's going to happen! That's like the Bengels going! If it were the Vikings or Bears, I would also pay attention and want them to win, even though I cheer their losses during the regular season. Divisional loyalty I suppose. Why didn't I mention Detroit? They don't much interest me.

That said, go Carolina! Now, I would really be at a loss for who to support if it did end up being the Colts and the Panthers. I would be happy for both teams since neither have had the chance before. I'm pretty sure about that anyway. If it had come down to that, I think I still would have wanted Carolina. NFC loyalty :)

I did not have any emotional interest in any of the final 4 teams, but I was pulling a little for the two teams that lost.

The hit that injured McNabb was not a late hit. The referee thought McNabb tripped without contact and did not blow the whistle. The play was still live and McNabb was free to get up and complete the play, so the second defender jumped on him like any other player would. The same referee also did not call a penalty because he knew he did not blow the whistle to end the play.

I'll be rooting in the following order on Superbowl Sunday:
  1. Good commercials
  2. A fast game so the Survivor premier is not delayed
  3. The Panthers (as a distant 3rd)

I'll take Bob's 1 and 2 for who or what I'll be rooting for. 3 is still up for grabs.

Fanny

Monday, January 19, 2004 - 11:42 am   Edit Post Move Post Delete Post View Post    
Ditto Bob's 1 and 2. I have to go with the Pats. AFC all the way, baby. Although Carolina's QB is a cutie. Actually it appears both QB's have a lot in common; both probably haven't gotten the attention or respect their talent deserves.

I don't care how many times the Pats make superbowl appearances. They don't have back-to-back wins like My Broncos do so it doesn't matter to me.

I'll be cheering on the Patriots, but I wouldn't be the least bit upset if the Panthers won. I like both of the teams and both of the quarterbacks, so I'm in a win win situation. I'm only cheering for the Pats because my roommate can't stand them, that way we get a little rivalry going during the game. Yes I'm hoping for a quick game so we can get on with Survivor.

I can't wait for the halftime show. Janet and Outkast. Heyyyyyyy yaaaaaaaa, Heyyyyyy yaaaaaaa...

But I really don't care who wins as neither team is a favorite.

Can someone tell us how long a football game lasts (i.e. the superbowl). Someone was asking in the survivor thread.

About 2 1/2 hrs?

Ed'd to say maybe 3 to 4? Depending on penalties, supposed to be a great half time show too.

Maris, most football games last about 3 1/2 hours. Unfortunately, the Super Bowl has an extended half time and countless commercial breaks, so you can probably add another hour on to that.
It's unfortunate, because any right thinking person knows the Pats will win - against common opponents the Pats are 7-0, the Panthers, 3-4. Carolina will have to play its best just to avoid embarrassment. Of course, the trophy can't just be handed to the Pats, but I'd suggest they play one half of football, which should be enough, and then we can get to the important matter of Survivor.

Of course, Granny. I will be overseeing my Survivor game and looking for you to apologize for ever doubting the Patriots.

Has that place froze over yet? I'm reading my Vegas book so if you really want to have a good time in Vegas, be nice to me!! So far, I have found 17 things I think you would love to do and only one that I want to do.

Cheering for the pats here but hoping that we don't have to see a whole lot of locker room crap, on with survivor.

AHEM... We Dolphin fans have never forgotten a certain snowy day, a snow plow and a Patriot team. (That's all I'll say) The Pats have always been our rivals.


GOOOO CAROLINA!!!
