Goes to show that the Super Bowl really isn't about football. ;)

Ask the women...they watch for the commercials...

I'd love to see Minnesota play in the SuperBowl

Just a couple GOATs.

Yea, lets not talk about the paper cut he had on his hand. 

The real questions should be, "How do you feel about your legacy when the refs make it easier for you to win."

Pretty damn good. Pretty damn good.

Being a Cowboys fan I’ve never cared for Philadelphia at all.  But damn it’d be nice to see them slaughter the Pats. Can only hope.

Well the Viking / Eagles game isn't over but it's not close...at the end of 3 it's 31-7....It looks like the Patriots and the Eagles.   I like the Pats and Brady but unless Gronk comes back, I don't see the Eagles loosing.

Surprised the Eagles tore apart the Vikings defense. Of course, the turnovers helped them early. Looks as if Foles is heating up. Such an impressive performance that they looked stronger than the Pats.

Damn I hope the Eagles beat them after Spy Gate...that's right, I'm not over it!

Nice sentiment. I would have to think twice about getting behind the Cowboys, but the Pats could possibly get me to do it.

I watched a couple of plays of the Pro Bowl yesterday for the first time.  I was amused, but not surprised, to see that they were basically playing two-hand touch.  The only person that fell on the ground during any of the plays I saw was a receiver that lunged for a pass and stumbled.  Otherwise, a defensive player just came up and hugged the guy with the ball and they blew the whistle.

I started watching the Pro Bowl and after seeing how lame it has become switched to the NHL All-Star games.   It was much more exciting.

I really can't believe they still bother with the Pro Bowl.

Long ago, the money was enough to get the players to play something like real football. Now that it's about what they drop at the club on a given night, they just try to avoid injury. Something the local TE Eifert failed at miserably a few years ago. As a kid, the most entertaining aspect of the Pro Bowl was seeing all the helmet logos on the field at the same time. 

Simultaneously having the Pro Bowl and the NHL All-Star Game really blows. The hockey version is better, but still a long damn way from the real thing. It was like a complete weekend without sports.

Honestly, I might be more likely to watch if it was 2-hand touch or flag. That would be kind of cool.

My 6yo just told me, "Everybody says the Patriots cheat." Thought that was pretty funny.

Perhaps in the future they'll call this past Super Bowl, "the day the defense died". There is just something unholy about 1100-plus yards of offensive. It's like its a freaking Big 12 game.

Very odd game, but I'll take any game where the Pats lose a Super Bowl (and where they come on the other side on a couple of questionable catch calls).

That said, the sooner the catch rule gets looked at, the better.
