Even though I am an AFC guy, after much deliberation, I have decided to back the efforts of the Bears. I simply refuse to hear about the awesomeness of the whiny Peyton Manning for the next six months.

[…] I didn’t watch any of the pre-game coverage. Post-game coverage: I’ve loathed the Super Bowl post game coverage ever since they went to the whole staged bit instead of just making presentations in the locker room. And what is it about the word ‘God’ that gets people in such an uproar? I saw on some blogs people getting their panties in a bunch because of it. Get a freaking life. There are worse things going on in the world than having a few people mention God on television so get over it already babies. […]

Doesn’t Rex deserve a Super Bowl? After all the years of criticism about how he can’t win the big one and chokes under fire, I’m really hoping Grossman can put the doubts to rest.
Dave
Peyton will choke, it’s taken him longer to do so this year…but he will.
I never thought I’d say this, but Go Bears!
ThymeZone
Da Bearsss. Their D will win the day.

Watch Benson, he could be the key, and hope that Hester doesn’t fumble the ball.
PS, the CBS pre game coverage sucks!

Also the Pro Football Hall of Fame is a bigger joke than MLB’s ever was. Irvin over Monk? No Tagliabue? And, most egregious, on a weekend when groundbreaking accomplishments are the biggest story, how could they pass on Tom Flores?
Dave
Oh come on now Tom….football is greater than baseball will ever be.
Want proof? two words: Barry Bonds.
Tom in Texas
Sure Dave, can’t think of a single NFL player who might have taken a few illicit substances from time to time — Bill Romanowski anyone? Barry Bonds is pretty much indefensible as a person. He is an asshole, plain and simple (though I would contend he has the right to be one).
As for his drug use, I think we as a society are hypocritical for glossing over these transgressions until the need for reighteous indignation overwhelms us. We clap and cheer as players hit 70 home runs, as offensive lineman top 350 pounds and wide receivers run 4.2 40’s. We reward them with multimillion dollar contracts that far outweigh less visible accomplishments by other players. Then we are shocked when they take all advantages they can.
Football gets me through Sundays during the winter, as well as providing small talk for those who don’t follow baseball.

COLTS!
Or house matey will sulk and I don’t want to deal.

Keys for a Bears victory
-Stop Colts running, Bears D’ focuses on the pass game (Urlacker vs Clark I like that match-up)
-Bears run up the middle allows Rex to exploit the middle and left side of field
-Run game gives Bears the field advantage and or field goals
-Colts have to punt or not punt to Hester, either way Bears have great field position
Prediction Bears 34 Colts 28

As a Pats fan, anyone who can wipe that smug look from Peyton’s face is fine with me, so Bears it is.
Dave
Actually Tom, I’m thinking of the arrogance, and I speak as one who has Giants and Niners season tickets. Baseball is full of arrogant players. Football not so much. Funny, I look at baseball the same way: something to get me through to until Footballs starts.

Superbowl + Cirque de Soleil = Cognitive WTFness.

At first I thought this was going to be a libertarian thread on pot smoking. Oh well.
I hope the game ends in a tie! ;-)

The AFC is with the terrorists.
Bears by Mortal Kombat fatality, in which Urlacher freezes Peyton Manning with his ice ray and then shatters his corpse in the endzone for a safety. Game is over by rule.
Bears 2, Colts 0
Andrew
Revised, just now (holy shit):
Bears 9, Colts 0
Andrew
Revised again:
Peyton will first throw 72 interceptions to go down in history as the biggest choker ever.

So Prince does a “hit” song from 1984 in 2007? Wow.
I think I saw his nipple too.
The Other Steve
Actually did you see the penis profile of Prince? When they tossed up that cloth and he was playing purple rain.
This game is boring, and the commercials suck.
But then football is always boring, and the only reason to watch is for commercials which makes this suck even more.
jake
They just ran the votevets.org ad. I wonder if this will cause more pant knotting than NippleGate?.
Louise
The second Prudential ad was a little weird; since I was listening and not watching, I heard:
Iraq can fill you with wonder.
Iraq can inspire your imagination.
Iraq can touch your heart, soothe your senses, or help you enjoy a little free time.
Iraq can do a lot of things,
but only *this* rock….
By the time, I’d gone over to the tv to find out WTF was being advertised. I thought maybe the VP had made a commercial for his POV.
BarneyG2000
I am happy to report that I was 100% correct in my predictions-in Bizarro world
jake
All credit for this win goes to God. And I now call on all of the Colts fans to smite Da Bears because God hates them.
No. Really. He DOESN’T CARE. I mean what the fuck? Gee, should I watch over all of the people who are starving and dying and stuff? Nah, I’ll watch the Super Bowl and make sure the Colts win.
SHUT UP!
Praise Him
The Colts won the lords way, hallelujah!
Andrew
It’s true. Dungy would not have won if he were Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Deist, or Agnostic. Only the power of Christ compels Rex Grossman to suck so much.
CaseyL
It was a good game. Lots of action, lots of turnovers, and the party I went to was much fun.
I didn’t expect the Colts to win; I figured the Bears defense would run ’em right over. When the Bears scored first, on the opening kick-off, I thought that was how the rest of the game would go.
But, wow: even though Grossman came in already rated as mediocre, I didn’t expect him to suck as bad as he did. How bad?: I joked that the Colts should award him the MVP.
Richard 23
The Colts’ win just goes to show that God hates teh gays.
Take that, queers!
Bob In Pacifica
Is there going to be a thread discussing the commercials? I can’t really remember any of them except the Robert Goulet as mischievous pixie one.

Game was OK, ads were a bore. Used to be the other way round. BTW, NFL, here in San Diego, it was sunny and 70 all day yesterday. Just pointing that out…Used to have SBs here, but the NFL has demanded a new stadium or it won’t return. Whatever, I think I hear the beach calling. Football is like a passionate lover you hook up with once a week. Baseball is like an old freind you see everyday in the park. Football players earn their money. Baseball players are fat and rich and sit around all game long. If baseball wasn’t invented, ballplayers would be auto workers.
gus
Tom in Texas, you’re kidding right? Baseball players are more arrogant than football players? There’s plenty to go around in both sports. Randy Moss isn’t an arrogant reprehensible asshole? Michael Irvin on being busted with cocaine saying, “do you know who I am?” That isn’t arrogant? C’mon. Personally I quit watching football a few years ago, but that has more to do with the Vikings than the sport itself (though I do find football boring).
Doug
Defense wins championships. And the Colts’ defense came to play. Meanwhile, the hard running Colts’ offense pounded away at the Bears’ squishy middle. Who woulda thunk it? Some kind of role reversal. Colts got just about 200 yards on the ground. The Bears got 111, almost half of that total on one run. The stout Colts run defense?
