If they had kicked the extra point, and GB scored a field goal, and nobody scored again - I would win a quarter on my football squares!!! > 😃 I’m still mad about the TB-Raiders Super Bowl. At the end of the game there was a garbage INT return for a TD by TB at the very end of the game. Had that not happened, I would have won $400. ---

Well…no matter what happens in the next 2:07, at least nobody will be able to say it was a boring game… ---

Big Ben said he wanted to have the game on his shoulders at the end. This is his chance. If he scores on this drive, he’s in the QB pantheon. This is the situation that kids dream about. Let’s go, Ben. You are Good’s last hope. ---

Remember, the Super Bowl drinking game rules say drink once if they mention the new overtime rules, twice if it’s in the 4th quarter and there’s a potential for a tie, and chug if it actually goes to OT and the first team kicks a FG. ---
