Quite possibly the greatest sporting event in AMERICA,.......who you takin'? SEAHAWKS or BRONCOS?. Myself........................I'm rooting for Seattle BUT really am hoping for a great game with lots of action and excitement. It's the SUPER BOWL and I truly believe that it should be a holiday in the UNITED STATES. If Europe can shut down for soccer then we should celebrate the SUPER BOWL as a holiday too!!!
-
I just hope it's going to be a great game. I'm not a fan of either team but I'm a fan of sports in general. I have always respected the play of Peyton Manning so I am going with the Denver Broncos. I think it will be an interesting match-up.

Not every one is a sports fan. My wife and I will travel to Savannah, GA on Super Bowl Sunday. We'll have dinner with another techno guy and his wife. Did not even realize there was a game that day until well after we booked the event! I usually hang out with non-sports enthusiasts on Super Bowl Sunday.
-
Mrzed?........of course everybody is not a sports fan, but since it is the biggest sporting event in America and was under the ''sports'' tag then why even bother to respond . Have fun with your tech friends.
-
Broncos for me.
-
I just want a great game that is known for its great play and not some officiating blunder....and of course, should the Broncos lose, I hope people don't start crucifying Manning again.....On the other hand, if the Seahawks win, I hope Sherman shows a little more class than he did at the end of the NFC Championship game....

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I was supposed to go out to NYC for the game but decided against it due to my workload at the moment. I wasn't going to go to the actual game, but some of the supporting festivities. Now I'm going to watch the game at home and root for the SeaTurkeys. Though, I think the Broncos will probably win.
-
I'm pulling for the Broncos. There is no way that I pull for Seattle after how Pete Carroll screwed the USC program when he left. I can't stand that guy. I'm not a USC fan at all but what he did to that program and those kids stinks.

How much would you PAY for a superbowl ticket ... to be there in person? Just hear on the radio that $800 list price tickets used to go for $2400 on the street, but are only fetching $1200 this year.
-
I wouldn't want to go to it if the ticket were given to me. I'm not a big fan of crowds and even less of a fan of drunk crowds. I never go to sporting events or concerts anymore, as it's much more comfortable to be kicking back in my recliner, beverage in hand watching on my big screen.
-
I wouldn't go either. $10 beers, drunken crowds, weather............
I'll watch on my 60 inch plasma in the comfort of my home. I'll have a case of beer for what two beers would cost me at the game. I'll have a few select Friends over and we'll make a day of it. All for less than $50!!

Mikekoz13.................I think that is the best way to enjoy the SUPER BOWL.

Indeed! Pellet stove keeping us warm and beer ice cold from my beer 'fridge. Old Bay wings, loompia, and some other assorted, home made foods!
AND............... a better view of the game.

Our home course has a scramble tourney with a shotgun start (everyone tees off at the same time, different holes of course) so the round is done before kick off. The course has a huge party, and it's always a hit. However, I usually don't stick around. I zip home and watch it with The Lovely Mrs. Schro and my kids. This year, my daughter is playing the tournament with me, so it should be a lot of fun.
Koz, I agree with you on Pete Carroll but, as a Raider fan, I can't pull for the Broncos on Sunday. It'd be like you pulling for the Steelers.
-
On the other hand....with all the attention on Sochi, the Super Bowl becomes a prime target for terrorism particularly if the weather fouls everything; One can only watch so many things simultaneously. I'm not persuaded that what seem like "random" events are, in fact, all that random.
Now that's off my (tattooed) chest....the game presents a conundrum. Pete Carroll and I are both products of Southern Cal and both of us left under "difficult" circumstances. I was almost shot in the Watts riots in '65 and he was shot in the ethics of a few years back. I'm inclined to favour AFC teams just because there's an arrowhead tat on my right forearm. Then there are the season tickets to the Chiefs games. I don't suppose they'll be a tie.
A fully haired friend of mine has laid a wager with me...Seattle wins and I don't shave my head for a month....Denver wins and he gets his first head shave. Not to say I'm predicting but.....I'm keeping my straight razor at hand waiting for the end of the final quarter.

I agree Harry. I'm rooting for the Broncos. Let's see which Sherman shows up this time.
-
I agree with Bald Guy and Mikekoz. There is noi way that would go to the game. It is much better to watch at home.
Hope that everyone enjkoys the SUper Bowl. Take care.

I was hoping for a close and exciting game. I was thoroughly disappointed by the blowout. Oh well... I did enjoy my time with family and friends!!!

I was also hoping for a better game. This one reminded me of Super bowls of old where the game was one-sided.
For anyone who flew into New York City for the game and planned to fly home today, they're going to be stuck. It's snowing heavily and we're supposed to get 4 to 8 inches by late afternoon. Visibility is about three city blocks.
-
What a lousy game that was. Takes me back to my Broncos getting stomped by the 49er's and Redskins. When the Broncos won their 2 bowls they wore their blue shirts, maybe they should dump their orange ones.
-
The game stunk.... and my Friend that brings the loompia was a no show! :(
-
I'm happy as the SEAHAWKS won in very impressive fashion.................they simply pounded Denver! Have to tip my hat to Denver for getting there................would love to see the Lions get that close. Oh well,maybe next year.
-
As easy as it is to hate on Peyton Manning....Seattle was far and away the better team....Remember, they have beaten elite QB's like Tom Brady, Drew Brees(twice), Aaron Rodgers, among others....Russell Wilson may be small, but he has heart and that's something you can't teach or buy...Not to be funny, but Russell Wilson now has more playoff victories than Tony Romo, Carson Palmer, Andy Dalton, Matt Ryan, RGIII, Cam Newton and Andrew Luck combined.....weird, but true.
-
Russell Wilson shows great poise and is cool under pressure - the hallmarks of a great quarterback.
-
Russell Wilson played as well as anyone could............he never turned the ball over and made many impressive throws, [ even going to his left],which is very difficult to do. Seattle has a winner it seems in this kid.
