Another fantastic Super Bowl.

Fuck…

Super pissed/sad/disappointed/angry.
Fuck it, see ya'll in the playoffs next year. Still faithfull

[seanocono]

Condolences, J-IV. There are more SBs in your future though.

One of the more odd superbowls in recent memory…

Happy for my fellow U of Miami alums, Lewis and Reed.  Nice way to for Lewis to go out

Ray Lewis is a clown.  Dude is fucking crazy, he says that angels and god whisper in his ear.  He's such an obvious liar, I feel embarrassed for anyone that believes he's clean.

This is why I hate pro sports.  Everyone invests so much time into known drug addicts, who claim they're clean.  I don't have time for that. And don't get me going on college, I went to UMass, then took some classes at UMemphis, all when Calipari coached both teams. And where is he now, Kentucky!!  Get the fuck out of here!!!

@seanocono:

Condolences, J-IV.

No need for condolences, it's part of the game. Really looking forward to see our division go at it.

Yo Mike, any info or links where you got that claim from? You're the first person I've heard to call him crazy. You referring to the deer antler claim?

[davito]

I have a lot of respect for those American warriors but still need to understand the strategy and techniques of this game more.
Sports is still no 1 embassador to bring cultures peacefully together and set role models for children. Of course there are blacksheep like everywhere in any position but without proof no charges imo

[madmonday]

tigerpac i agree it was an odd event. maybe it was the power outage that gave it such a weird vibe for me.

for san fran to make it two years in a row & get beaten is a pretty rough go at it. at least they have the baseball giants as it  looks like the vince lombardi trophy just doesn't want to stay out west.

[seanocono]

^SF didn't make it two years in a row though. This is their first SB since '95.

[seanocono]

And the rich get richer: Harvin to the Squawks; Boldin to the 9ers.  Is it September, yet?

[J-IV]

Dude, like I said, it's going to be SEA or SF ruling the NFC next season.

Pretty psyched to get Boldin too. We only had to give up a 6th round pick. ::)

[seanocono]

Haha, I know it, man. I was thrilled by the Harvin news – for about two hours. Then I heard you only had to give up a 6th for the most consistent receiver in the playoffs, last year. That brought me back down to earth pretty quickly.

[bagley920]

Seattle paid alot for Harvin because they had to. Baltimore couldn't afford Bolden's salary cap hit so they got what they could

[seanocono]

Yeah, I know. Harvin is in his prime, and Boldin probably only has two-three more good years, too.

All things considered, the Boldin deal is still a great pickup. He has proven himself to be one of the most consistent players in the NFL, over the last 6+ seasons. He is also an incredibly tough player, which suits SF's offense well.

Harvin is exceptionally talented, but he is probably the biggest wild card in the league. His attitude, health, and concussions are worrisome. Still, Seattle filled their #1 need with a proven A+ level talent. That's worth a 1st, 7th, and 2014 3rd – if he can stay healthy.

[J-IV]

How long do you guys have Harvin for?

I'm pretty sure were going to sign Boldin for a 1 year deal, if I'm not mistaken..

[seanocono]

The Harvin trade is contingent on him signing a long-term deal. My guess is 4-5. Should wrap by Thursday.

Anyone interested in doing a fantasy football league? Can do yahoo or espn

[mclaincausey]

YES!  Can we put some cash on it?  We can use one of those online things to make that hassle-free
