Jimmy John’s should sponsor the Super bowl. ---

“go Ravens!”. (urp! More vomit) The Baltimore Harbaugh is much less abrasive to me. So I will I guess root for the Ravens in the SB. I will NOT, however, watch any of the player introductions, as I will not be able to stomach the dance Ray Lewis will be putting together before his last game. The one thing I do find amusing is that the Ravens used to be the Browns, and these SB’s should be bringing Cleveland some joy. Instead, they get the knife twisted a bit deeper with each Ravens win. ---

SuperBLAUGH! Anyway…please, please 49’ers…make Ray Lewis cry at the prospect of getting so close, and yet _denied._ PLEASE. I wish to see Murdering Ray cry. ---

I don’t quite get all the Harbaugh hate. As far as insufferable coaches go I feel like they have barely scratched the surface. I guess Jim is a bit of a drama queen on the sideline and the Schwartz handshake thing didn’t look good, but at least he’s not a stature out there. As for Jon, I can’t stand the Ravens either but Harbaugh isn’t even on the list of reasons why. I’ll be cheering for the 49ers. Mostly out of distaste for the scumbag Ravens and murderin’ Ray Ray, but a fair chunk of it will be old allegiance to a former Bear QB in Harbaugh. Wish he were coaching the Bears. ---

I get that it’s a rough game, etc., but no one said anything about the way he folded up as he went down. They commented for 10 minutes on whoever it was who hurt his hamstring, and they replayed that hit on the security guard 10 times, but said nothing interesting about the guy who was momentarily knocked out. It seems weird, like the pros not recognizing the Unspeakable. Either way, not excited for the Super Bowl. I’ve been a Flacco fan for years, but the constant harping on Murder Ray makes me crazy. His dramatics during the National Anthem made me want to throw up…:rolleyes: ---

Mostly out of distaste for the scumbag Ravens and murderin’ Ray Ray, but a fair chunk of it will be old allegiance to a former Bear QB in Harbaugh. Wish he were coaching the Bears. Yea, compared to the Ryan’s they are angels from heaven. There are coaches that just by their looks cause a visceral dislike such as Chucky (Jon Gruden), Caliparie, Roy Williams, Isiah Thomas, Jimmy Johnson, Rich Rodriguez, etc. And, pre-Brady, I really thought that Harbough was the best QB ever to come out of UofM. I want UofM to lose every game they ever play so I have no agenda in promoting anybody from that place. Just trying to be fair. I don’t know what Daddy Harbough taught his sons but he wins no matter what. ---

And if he was, why is everyone being so blase about it? The announcers, like the NFL, tend to way downplay brain trauma, since it’s the thing that could kill the whole sport. It can get pretty ridiculous, though. ---

To be fair, **Mince** , you can’t describe what the Bills did in January “playing football”.
