Actually forget these teams. Beyoncé will win the Super Bowl.

probably they will just stop the superbowl after halftime

In case you were wondering, Ed Reed was not on the 2000 Ravens Super Bowl squad. Lewis the only repeater.

Well, I guess Brandon Stokley is still in the league ...

Randy Moss on Manti Te'o: "I’ve been a fan of his since he came on the scene playing football and being catfished I guess."

Chris Culliver, a second-year cornerback for the 49ers, made disparaging remarks about homosexuality in football during a radio interview Tuesday at the Super Bowl’s media day.

Culliver said neither he nor his teammates would welcome a gay player in their locker room.

“I don’t do the gay guys, man. I don’t do that,” Culliver said during a taped, one-minute podcast with Artie Lange.

Asked if the 49ers have any homosexual players, Culliver responded: “No. Ain’t got no gay people on the team. They gotta get up outta here if they do. Can’t be with that sweet stuff.”

Culliver reiterated that was a true statement, and when asked if a good player might be welcomed anyhow, he said: “Nah. Can’t be … in the locker room, man. Nah.”

he only does straight guys then?

Culliver said during a taped, one-minute podcast with Artie Lange.

This is the least surprising element of this story. For this topic to even come up, that dickhole would have to be the questioner.

this is interesting, kind of. i wish they had dome more with it. interesting looking at the data from last year and seeing how much new england are low-balling on D

funny how much of the nyg $ goes/went to DE/QB

succinctly tells you p much everything you need to know about the coughlin giants

well I guess I'm rooting for the Ravens then

i got ravens 7/niners 0 in a box pool
give me all the $$ imo

i guess i didn't know tom brady was getting paid less than much of the league

btw randy moss remains fucking awesome

can we hug him? I want to hug him

he's p rad

word up randy

lol simms interviewed kaepernick & someone mentioned phil was a sb mvp & kaep was like, really????, didnt know who he wuz

that makes me wish I still had Showtime to see him getting shit on Inside the NFL

lol so much im watching matt hasselbeck taking abt when he was in the sb

whats the one thing you remember abt the sb?

"the fact hat it was in detroit...finally get to the sb & its in detroit....we ate at a fudruckers in a mall for lunch and dinner just abt every day & 1 night we got dressed up and went to chris chelios' sports bar"

lol, I saw Hasselbeck and a bunch of Seahawks at a Fuddruckers years after that Super Bowl (not in Detroit tho)

"we ate at a fudruckers in a mall for lunch and dinner just abt every day"

Man they probably were getting pretty sick of hamburgers and frys...isn't that about all that place serves?

Is this the thread for this then? Seems pretty bare, but I couldn't spot another. Gonna have a bath and then fall asleep on the sofa with this on, could anyone precis the ongoing narrative here for a young Britisher that knows nothing about NFL? Who are the favs?

it is literally impossible to care about this game.

wake me up when the niners lose

best possible outcome is the ravens win and then a comet strikes ray lewis before post-game interviews can commence.

Beyonce sounds terrible, the vocals are muffled as shit.

I wish Prince did all the SB halftime shows.

Beyonce looks great as ever, but musically this is a disaster

if they were going to bring out the rest of Destiny's Child, I was hoping for "Soldier"

I miss the awesome tightrope dude from last year. Shoulda brought him back.

never forget

wish there was more DC, but visually this was spectacular. love the arrangements of baby boy they use when she plays live.

what just happened with the lights

most interesting thing to happen so far, I hope the power stays out for like 20 minutes

beyonce blew out all the circuits with her awesomeness.

@bowiesongs

the JG Ballard Superbowl

i've been observing the ravens players and they are also confused

loooooooool

"minor Manning-esque Miracle"
swear i said this exact phrase out loud at some point last night

there were definitely a whole bunch of plays that Flacco somehow managed to connect on that defied all logic and reason

I'd call it dumb luck if hadn't seen him pull off the same kind of nonsense in previous games

if I hadn't...

First, Flacco beat Manning on a bitterly cold day in Denver. Then he knocked off New England’s Tom Brady on the road two weeks ago in the A.F.C. championship game. Finally, after taking down two icons, Flacco beat the wunderkind Colin Kaepernick, whose read-option versatility may well be the wave of the future but was not the style of the moment here Sunday night.

'qb x beat qb y' is my single least favorite football cliche.

dying

Correction: February 4, 2013

An earlier version of a summary for this article misidentified the team for which Colin Kaepernick is the quarterback. It is the 49ers, not the Giants.

morning sports talk show dudes were trying to color flacco as this 'calm mind in the hour of chaos' type bro using adjectives that were basically code for 'well he's basically an idiot who benefits from not thinking too hard'

there were definitely a whole bunch of plays that Flacco somehow managed to connect on that defied all logic and reason

i dont remember who caught this one (Smith I think??) but that play early on where he's scrambling way out to his right and just launches it out of bounds...or so you would think...was some Eli vs. Pats shit

So much for being hot at the end of the year, B-more went 1-4 in their final 5 regular season games...

Baltimore still leads the AFC North, but its lead has shrunk to one game with two to play.

''We're a 9-5 football team and we feel like we're 0-14 right now,'' Flacco said.

Caldwell's debut was a resounding flop. Flacco went 20 for 40 for 254 yards, lost a fumble and threw an interception. Ray Rice ran for 38 yards on 12 carries and the Ravens produced a meager 56 yards rushing.

Aw this is really sad

omg you guys

can we do this next year?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTBVuw5Dlbo

second half of superbowl was pretty boss this year

i remember phil simms before the season going on about flacco being an elite quarterback, whatever that means, but it's true now anyway

unless elite means 'as good as rodgers/brady/etc', but i don't think it does

nonono you have to watch the vid

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT

im watching tv when it is finished i will watch it

well no football talk til you watch it

i didn't bump this thread to talk about football

i remember phil simms before the season going on about flacco being an elite quarterback, whatever that means, but it's true now anyway

unless elite means 'as good as rodgers/brady/etc', but i don't think it does

so 'unless elite quarterback means 'as good as elite quarterbacks' , flacco is an elite quarterback'

its somewhat more elastic than just 'the best'

its the_best + a few others who have done at least one or two discernably great things

>:(

We should devise a definitive ILNFL elite QB list to refer back to for any discussion involving this topic. And maybe do a poll for good measure.

i'll start
