I’ll be in Vegas. I’m sure it will be quiet and relaxed. ---

I you post your address, you’d better _have_ a lock. ---

According to the \ scientifically accurate \ test run I just did on Madden the Ravens should win 117 - 3. 😃 ---

34-21 Niners… locked it up. Hopefully Ray Lewis get trucked, breaks a leg and has to have it amputated. 😃 ---

I am supporting the Ravens because I don’t have a dog in this fight, but my best friend is a Ravens fan. Still, I have a side consideration of seeing how many of the Ray Lewis haters on my Facebook have an aneurysm if he ends his career with a Super Bowl ring. ---

The Sports Book at the various casinos will be over-flowing and plenty of half-drunk football fans will make sure that Vegas will be anything but quiet.

I’m rooting for the commercials. I despise the Ravens with a the passion of 1,000 burning suns, and I really don’t want to see the 49ers tie my Steelers in Super Bowl victories. The first Super Bowl in my memory where I honestly have no one I can feel good rooting for. I’ll probably begrudgingly hope the 49ers win, but I still don’t like that result. ---

Yes, but he turned state’s evidence and sent the actual perpatrators to jail and can cry at the drop of a hat. Compared to Moss he is practically Batman. ---

> [@Mdcastleman](#): > > I’m hoping the Ravens win just so Randy Moss doesn’t win a Superbowl. The 49er’s need Moss, like Frank Gore needs a broken ankle right now. Gore is a real pro, I’d like the Niners to win so that Frank can get a ring on his finger. ---

> [@Mdcastleman](#): > > I’m hoping the Ravens win just so Randy Moss doesn’t win a Superbowl. You’d rather Ray Lewis win one? Randy Moss might be a bit of a douche/asshole, but last I heard he was never a “Person of Interest” in a murder case and convicted felon as a result of evidence tampering in said murder case. Of course, I’d root against the Ravens regardless, since they beat The Pats. So, uhh…40 49ers, I guess? I’m not too enthused to say that, but better than the alternative. ---

Lewis at the very least fled with the murderers and destroyed all the evidence. Then after he was arrested he gave half assed testimony and got probation for obstructing. The murderers got off. Lewis paid off the families. And now he is being celebrated as a saint who loves Jesus. Fuck that guy. Give me LT with his blow and underage hookers any day. ---
