Some of the vitriol towards Lewis is unwarranted, imo. Hell, Roethlisberger has double the rings Flacco does, gets zero respect and is still called out for rape allegations. The fact remains is he's been the QB for two super bowl winning teams. Vick's career never recovered after the dogfighting. Despite Flacco's pipe dream comments of him being the best QB in the NFL, his record is clean.
Yes, Lewis is a d-bag and I'm glad he's finally run his tour of the NFL, but the guy was top 3 at the linebacker position all-time. I would have rather seen pot smoker Randy Moss get his first ring, but it was a good game. The Ravens won't win another one for awhile anyway.
My biggest gripe was that Pinnacle was not working before or during the game. Definitely would've had SF to win the 2nd half. I could've been rich!!!! The 3rd quarter interruption was unacceptable, an for as much we joke about "only in the CFL moments" I don't recall the CFL having a facility malfunction like that.
Great NFL season. Now on to Turkish volleyball.
Yeah i don't get "only in the CFL moment" crap. I have never seen that happen in the CFL. That blackout goes to show you that the NFL is not that perfect after all. Also all those complaining about the refereeing in the CFL shows NFL referees can make mistakes too depending on who you talk to.
Anyways aside from the negative stuff, Super Bowl turned out to be an exciting game. Oh Beyonce sang live..

Not sure why anyone is blaming the NFL for yesterdays power outage...its not like they control the power grid or even have control of stadium lighting, there are crews in every stadium that do that.
I think it's going to be a shoot out. San Fran was exposed by Matt Ryan last week and with joe and his big arm and the speed of smith it's going to be a long night for San Fran.
There was a read-option called in the final series; it was the play when the time out was called (when it was almost delay of game but J Harbaugh called the time out).
And the final play was an audible based on the defensive formation. Kaepernick saw the man coverage on the outside.

Absolutely eye popping TV numbers...
Quote:
It cost a lot of chickens their wings, but Sunday’s Super Bowl set a record as the most-watched event in U.S. television history.Nielsen reported the game scored a 48.1 rating and 71 share in its select measurement of big cities. That’s 1% over a similar measurement in last year’s game.One ratings point represents 1,147,000 households, or 1% of the nation’s estimated 114.7 million TV homes. The share means that 71 percent of TVs that were on at the time were tuned to the Super Bowl
Since been downgraded to the third most watched Superbowl.
Thank goodness..any encouragement for CBS to no longer justify to senile Uncle Phil Simms and boring brother in law Nantz, the better.
Simms was "confused" by the last call after seeing 3 replays, by the notion that Baltimore would take a safety, and calling for roughing the kicker on Akers when it shouldn't have even been a running into the kicker. Hairpullingly mindless cliches all game.
Although listening to Cowher, Sharpe, Brown, and Wilcots stumble through the delay (clearly the cue cards and scripted pregame shows and half time shows make them sound a lot smarter than they seem) because listening them trying to fill, there was better discussion in this forum then they were trying to communicate, at least it wasn't Nantz and Simms. Steve Tasker was the only one that provided any inch of investigative news that anyone watching on TV couldn't figure out on their own.

Just one of those things...stuff happens.
agree that it's not the NFLs fault. but if it happened in the CFL, there would be alot of Canadians saying it was the CFLs fault or that "it happens in the CFL" or whatever. The NFL is comparatively very safe from criticism most of the time
