this years super bowl

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

Here is where it really gets weird in interviews before this happened, Brady has on multiple occasions said he find it easier to grip a ball that is overinflated rather under, so he tells the equipment manager to make sure they are at the max legal pressure not the minimum.   Brady gets snapped an under inflated ball and throws an int.

This matchup doesn't really interest me all that much.  I'm kind of sick of both franchises.  It's villain vs. villain.  Bellichek and Carroll are both unlikeable and douchey.  Neither team is worth rooting for.

[Brian Fein]

^^ Agree wholeheartedly.  Had a similar feeling about the entire playoffs.  I have watched probably 5 or 6 hours of TOTAL postseason football.

Seems to be the general sentiment. I can't remember the last time I felt this way.

[Dave Gray]

I don't hate the Patriots like a lot of us do, but Bellichek's cheating and douchery is catching up with me.  It's so hard to like a guy that just seems like a miserable dick of a human being.  Even if cheating doesn't result in the wins (because I think his team is better anyway), he seems to always get caught with his hand in the cookie jar. 

The Seahawks, on the other-hand, are embarrassing.  ...crying and screaming that everyone counted them out.  Meanwhile, they're the defending champs and a 7 point favorite at home.  And played abysmally.

On one hand, I think I just want the Pats to win, because we all know they're good, so one more title doesn't really change anything.  On the other hand, I find it a little warming that they haven't won in 10 years, since this spygate stuff broke.  It seems like they're dominating the NFL, but they haven't been able to seal the deal.  It would be nice to see that continue. 

Meh....at least I'll see some good friends, have a beer, get fat, and play squares.

Go Seahawks!

On one hand, I think I just want the Pats to win,

Blasphemer!

I totally get the feeling on uninterest in the game though. I was thinking it earlier myself.

[masterfins]

I don't want either team to win, but I'll pick the Patriots for the following reasons:

1) I still hate Carroll from when he was a coach with the Jets and made the choke sign when playing against the fins.

2) If the Patriots win, then next year some teams try a little harder against them knowing they are the reigning champs.

and most importantly..

3) the last two times the Patriots won the Super Bowl I won $1300.00 in a pool.

[Dave Gray]

The Patriots legacy is already pretty cemented.  They have kicked our ass for a decade, they have one of the best coaches and QB ever in the game.  It is what it is.

Them winning another title doesn't change anything.

But there's a little bit of AFC pride in there, too.  The Patriots are assholes...but they're our assholes.

[Spider-Dan]

I'm just wondering how many Super Bowls Brady would have to lose before he's considered a choker.  4?  5?

you don't see much of that type of thinking with pro teams, but often you get that with college teams.

[Phishfan]

I don't understand it at all. I don't root for hated rivals.

[Spider-Dan]

Part of it is that, as Dave said, whether NE wins or loses they will still be fellated by the media as demigods (based on achievements from a decade ago).  So if the media is going to slobber over Brady and Belichick no matter what, then at least an NE win makes the "the AFC East is the worst division in football" clowns shut up.

NOT SO FAST.... http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/01/20/brady-said-in-2011-he-likes-deflated-footballs/

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

So now we have conflicting reports on this ... wow!  Meanwhile greenbay qb has admitted to cheating by over inflating on national tv and no investigation
