I have always been a fan of #1 Oakland Raiders( WE SHALL RETURN-If our probation officers will allow out of state travel). #2) NY Jets(Born in NY and the Giants were not my team)#3)DA Bears.  
So if all is right in the word,Super Bowl will be…Jets vs Bears…Bears are current behind 14-0…but I have said prayers to arrange a great comeback!

Okay, I have no TV and I’m outside the US, so I’m just watching ESPN’s play-by-play yardage marker. What the [expletive deleted] just happened?

ETA: That question applies to whole last minute of play. Seriously.

Uh, that’s not an interception. That clearly bounced up into his gut.

C’mon the ball bounces off Drivers’ foot straight into Briggs’ hands. You mean to tell me that’s skill?

I don’t see how anybody can dispute the fraudulence of the officiating after that.

So you think that saying the Bears got a lucky bounce on the pick is the same as what Dio does? Huh.

At this point, it’s skill if the Bears manage to have a defender within 5 yards of the receiver.

Notice the junior modifier? Any idea what that means?  
**Hamlet**  
Well, being aware and being around the ball are skills. The bounce was lucky, but you complain about the Bears luck all the time. It gets old.

The ball bounced up but his jams was underneath, it never hit the ground.

They’re doing just what I said they shouldn’t do. They’re playing back and giving the recievers way too much room underneath, They need to smack them in the fucking mouth right at the line.

Somebody needs to go hemet to helmet on Rodgers too. Put him in a fucking mouth operated wheelchair. Make him talk through a fucking electronic box for the rest of his life.
