CBS couldn’t even show the last second of the game. Probably because they set their clock to 21 instead of 1. It’s not just the announcers that are incompetent. Go Broncos! ---

Ride tall into the sunset, Payton. But Miller was The Man today. ---

5/10 for entertainment value, rated high-ish because my fandom won 8/10 for stress level. Dang, close games stress me out as a fan 100/10 for that D! Saved Manning’s and Elway’s butt, man Broncos fan since early 1970s, thru good and bad. My personal identity is not tied up with being a fan, but I do enjoy enjoy rooting for Blue and Orange Orange Crush is BACK! . ---

Kudos to Elway, Kubiak, and Wade Phillips too. ---

Thanks for the clear info about the fumble/incomplete pass. I guess I sort of understand the distinction; why there should BE a distinction escapes me, but oh well. I appreciate the explanations. Congrats to Broncos fans. ---

> [@Grsz11](#): > > Really? Nothing happened. Clock ran down from one second. Nothing except what the players were doing on the field while they were showing us all the stuff on Manning. I was a lot more interested in how the players were reacting to the end of the game than in CBS showing me Manning’s stats. Sucks to be me, I guess. ---

Just heard Peyton say he has other priorities now than deciding whether this will be his last game, like kissing his wife. The Super Bowl baby ads give me the idea that he has more than a kiss in mind. 😉 ---

Hey, I just realized I just won the 2015 SDMB Confidence Pool. And tied or maybe won the 2015 SDMB Pick’Em. Guess I’ll need to change my title. ---

Look, I understand the callback to Super Bowl XXXII, and it’s sad what’s happened to Pat Bowlen, but “This one’s for Pat”? And Von Miller gets the deserved MVP. Also, after this, there is no way Denver is ever going to wear orange in a Super Bowl ever again. ---

I guess this makes up for their performance two years ago. ---

Congrats broncos fans After they slapped the taste out of my guy Brady’s mouth in the AFC championship I knew they had a shot and were rooting for them. You made Brady and his offensive line look awful all game, you can do that to everyone. Though to be fair our O-line is crap right now. Usually Brady can WIM through that handicap but the Bronco’s defense was just too good. Nice that Manning goes out on top, always respected Manning. He does need to retire now, though, he’s done. Panthers- you’ve got an impressive team, keep as much of the talent as you can for next year, and figure out how to break a defense in half. GLGL _Pats will be back next season…_ ---

We probably just saw the last of the guy who’ll go down as the greatest of all time. Going out on your 200th win is one of those pleasantly round numbers. ---

Is 56.6 like the lowest rating for a winning superbowl QB? That is pretty sad. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2016-super-bowl/744364.md?page=11) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2016-super-bowl/744364.md?page=13)
