Anyone Watching Sportscenter?

John Buccigross looks devastated. He looks like his Dad just died.

I'm not even trying to be funny. Really odd.

Update [2008-2-3 23:30:34 by royalsreview]:

According to Emmitt Smith, the Patriots offense got "debacled" which, while not a word, is actually kinda cool.

By the way, he's JUSTIN Tuck. I've heard multiple people call him Jason, or Michael or whatever. Gotta stick up for a dude from my alma mater.

why the parade of '72 dolphins on the phone?

who cares about that

Deservedly Or Not

I've come to think of the '72 Fins as unmitigated assholes.

I'm not getting older....oh, wait, yes I am....and slower.... and weaker. God, this is great!

While I am not a knowledge football fan

And maybe I'm missing something here, or thinking too simplistically, but the '07-'08 Patriots almost repeated history. Something that had been accomplished ONCE in history.

Should Hank Aaron not have been acknowledged when Bonds hit his home run, or at least discussed about/interviewed during the inevitable run?

People roll their eyes when comparing these two squads, but....they're comparable. Or at least they were.

Am I missing something here????

I dont think thats really the same

this was a team record, not an individual accomplishment during a meaningless regular season game

not saying its irrelevant, but, again, this was 5 minutes after the game

honestly, i think the main thing was ESPN was just killing time until Primetime, or whatever, and had no footage, quotes yet

the dolphins are jerks every year

The Dolphins celebrate every year with champagne when the last undefeated team loses. That's why people don't like them...all they do is brag and gloat when others don't succeed. Various team members call in to national talk shows, make appearaces, etc., celebrating their victories from 1972 and the losses of the teams du jour.

If Michael Jordan and his Bulls team that won 72 games had a party when the last NBA team lost 13 games (ensuring their record), people would think they were petty, too. Mark McGwire didn't openly root against Barry Bonds when Bonds hit 73 home runs.

It's understandable that people are happy to keep the records they set, but openly rooting against people who approach those records and celebrating if they slip up crosses a line in many people's minds.

If we're giving props to Super Bowl champs with

whom we share an alma mater...then congrats to Dave Tollefson. Northwest Missouri State University is proud, if not surprised.

Gotta give love to the Super Bowl Champion Bearcat!

Worst...Super Bowl commercials....ever

I can't even think of a good one. They were all god awful. And I really can't believe some small company paid for two border-line racist cartoon ads (the one with the Indian guy and the one with the Chinese panda)

Oh yea, the game was boring, but I'm always bored by the Super Bowl. In the second half, most of the party was playing an engaging game of "Memory" with the kids. No kidding.

right on...

the ad with the Indian guy seemed harmless, but then when there was the Pandas with horrible fake chinese voices, it made me rethink the first one...

hey, lets have ads with funny asian voices! Two of them!

good commericals is so 10 years ago... I see funnier stuff online every day of the year

Boring?

I guess I can understand "boring" in the first half with so little offense, but how can you complain about that fourth quarter? The Patriots came back and had it won, just like they were supposed to until the Giants final drive where there were a number of spectacular plays (David Tyree!). By virtue of that finish I think this has to be considered the best Superbowl game since Titans-Rams.

That probably would have been exciting

Had I not fallen asleep by then.

Seriously, I can't believe people complain about baseball being boring. That was a snoozefest.

Boring

I complain about that fourth quarter.

by Jackhomeduring on Feb 4, 2008 1:05 AM EST reply actions

Great game

Good, hard fought, close, competitive game. Low scoring does not necessarily equal boring. Both teams played well and the defenses stepped up big time. The three lead changes in the fourth quarter were amazing and unprecedented in Super Bowl history.

Some people love high scoring games, like 38-35 football games or 11-10 baseball games. That's not my kind of game. I like well played games which are decided very late in the game.

I probably disagree with you.

I'm certainly not a Patriots

fan by any means, but I never wanted to see Eli Manning win a ring. This is the guy who lives out every young man's dream and gets picked #1 overall in the NFL draft. But, no. That's not enough. He has to whine and cry about how he doesn't want to play in San Diego. I can't stand whiny prima donnas like him. I also don't like Tom Coughlin. I wish my boy Favre had pulled off the win against the Giants two weeks ago so that I could've had a dog in the fight. But, worst of all, we're gearing up for another ice storm and baseball season is still a month away. Daytona is in two weeks to hold me over, but man, I've got the winter blues.

did anyone hear it?

The "Sunday Conversation" with Eli...

It was the Grit! Eli said this team had a lot of grit!

Somewhere, Buddy Bell is smiling!

My high school's team was on STL news Friday

The Fox 2 reporter described the Lions performance as showing "grit". I thought of Bell.

This article is insane!

Just read this perspective on Belichick. Insane!

Yeah

I knew that was coming, too easy to lay off of I'm sure. What a joke, everybody on the field thought the game was over because the dumbass clock operator ran the final 3 seconds off. The field was full of people before Belichick took off for the handshake. Not to mention, Coughlin came out to meet him.

by MileHighKCfan on Feb 4, 2008 11:07 AM EST up reply actions

that...

was one of the greatest super bowls of all time.

if you didnt like that, at least the incredibly awesome 4th quarter, then you arent a big fan of the pigskin.

it helped that the giants won, nobody likes the patriots.

and defend belichick as much as you want, the ref flat out told him that the game wasnt over and he still decided to leave the field of play. his initial trip out to midfield wasnt his fault at all, everyone thought the game was over, but all he had to do was go back over and stand on the side line for a single kneel.
