Super Bowl 2008

The Game Room

Blah blah blah. This canard comes out every year during the Super Bowl, usually to set the table for the after-game excuses for losing. Give it a rest.

First of all, the Patriots are still going to win going away, so no “table-setting” is necessary, and second of all, I’ve been watch NE get screwed by biased officaiting all year. Did you see the replay of that play I was talking about? The facemask was undisputable. I wasn’t imaging things. Even Aikman admitted that Toomer got away with one there.

Becasue the play resulted in a first down, and I assume that penalty doesnt give a loss of down.
[/QUOTE]

I guess so, but it seems like there should be a loss of down for a batted fumble. What’s to stop a team from doing it on purpose on a screwed 3rd down play to get an extra down?

23

Classic Patriots, that first down on the screen to Stallworth. The Giants would have been set up with some good field position there, too.

I agree that should be a loss of down type penalty.

And is it just me or this like the third or fourth game that Buck has made some comment about getting woman to Troy- either he doesn’t know the rumors or he likes to make Troy squirm… :slight_smile:

Oh, I’m lovin’ this big Giants D.!

26

Oh, the irony! A guy named Tuck stripping the ball from Tom Brady on a pass. Good no-call this time, ref.

7-3 New England. So much for “running away”.

27

What a crappy half, but no matter. The Pats will step on the gas in the 2nd half. I’m sticking with my prediction of a NE blow out.

You mean the no-call on that blow to Brady’s head that the Giants got away with? I can’t agree with you on that.

29

I’m liking it so far. Although I would have prefered that the Giants be up, it is still close enough that they could win.

I’m not too much longer fort he game. I have a huge day tomorrow and it will start early. I guess I have an hour, maybe a little more left in me.

Go Giants!

More whining about the refs. Pardon me while I yawn.

31

On the fumble play? The Giants absolutely did not hit Brady in the head. I just replayed it, and the second guy in hit him on the shoulder.

32

I was watching the Super Bowl at Buffalo Wild Wings (Super Bowl 42 and B’Dubs’ 25 years, and I’m 25 years old) . . . . meaning of life, I guess.

33

Ouch, I stayed up to watch this, I didn’t realise half-time would last 45 minutes!

Has to. The game is actually moving fast. Advertisers must get their money’s worth.

35

Heh, the sad thing is, we don’t even get to watch any of the adds.

Yeah. I didn’t see a head hit either.

Not a bad game so far. Go Patriots!

I think Tom Petty is high. I think his whole band is baked.

Afgter seeing it agin, I think he got him around the neck, but in the first look at games speed, I saw his arm raise up and then swing down and I thought he clubbed Brady in the head. My bad.

39

Did anyone watch the most-viewed sporting event of the weekend? You know, the Hoston Rockets vs. Milwaukee Bucks? 200 million viewers.

I can only think of one thing when I hear “American Girl” - “It puts the lotion on it’s skin.” Creeps me right out.

Then you should try the teenage chick flick Chasing Liberty, and turn that frown upside-down. (CL is the story of a First Daughter going AWOL in Europe, companioned by a cute guy who turns out to be an undercover Secret Service bodyguard. It’s basically a remake of Roman Holiday. Not a great flick, but entertaining.)
