Setting the bar just a wee bit high, but I think I have dreamed a couple of those outcomes. I do expect it to be a close game and you could not have planned a better match up - both #1 seeds and the best defense playing the best offense. I do think my Seahawks will prevail and once again show that the best defense wins over the best offense in Super Bowls.

So what does a 30,000 screaming 12th man send-off look like?  Somebody driving just behind the buses filmed it.    Down in bed with the flu I dragged myself out of the house to go to this. It was the most amazing show of support I think ever mustered for a team that I know of.   If you look real close you may even see me.

Broncos, Seahawks party hard in NYC
By Emily Smith and Stephanie Smith, PageSix (http://pagesix.com/2014/01/29/broncos-seahawks-hit-citys-party-scene-before-super-bowl/?_ga=1.225240346.1244658742.1370464830)
January 29, 2014 | 3:35am

The Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks partied hard Monday night in Manhattan before buckling down for the Super Bowl, chowing down on grade-A steaks and swilling drinks at downtown clubs.

Members of the Broncos defensive lineup Steven Johnson, Robert Ayers, Kayvon Webster, Jeremy Mincey, Malik Jackson, Sylvester Williams, John Youboty and Terrance Knighton had dinner at sushi restaurant Tokya in Midtown East. But the athletes found fish too light and requested a steak dinner.

“The Broncos thought sushi was too dainty a dish for the main course,” a source told Page Six. “They ate tons of sushi rolls, every roll imaginable, then said they needed more protein and demanded steak. So the restaurant had to send someone out for 25 pounds of steak.”

The athletes also preferred sturdier cutlery — when presented with chopsticks, “They immediately asked for forks,” our source said.

At STK Downtown, Seattle Seahawks Mike Robinson, Ricardo Lockette and Arceto Clark were overheard discussing “beating” Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning. At nearby Catch restaurant, Bronco Julius Thomas dined at one table while Seahawks Golden Tate, Jermaine Kearse, Breno Giacomini, Byron Maxwell and Russell Okung held down another.

Broncos captain Wes Welker, fellow wide receivers Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker and Trindon Holliday and running back Knowshon Moreno arrived at Avenue nightclub in Chelsea at about 11:30 p.m. They danced to DJ Ross One’s hip-hop playlist and drank from bottles of Dom Perignon sent over to their table.

Cornerbacks Champ Bailey and Chris Harris, tight end Julius Thomas and linebacker Wesley Woodyard walked in an hour later, and Manny Ramirez, Louis Vasquez and Zane Beadles at 1:30 a.m. The Broncos decided to call it a night before 3 a.m. Monday might have been their last late night — sources said players have a 1 a.m. curfew for the rest of the week.

Oh yeah, basically all of professional and big time college sports, along with the 24x7 coverage of "pop culture" is certainly functioning as Bread & Circuses!!

I watch and follow more than my share of Sports, almost all types, and I do it with full knowledge that it is a wonderful "escape" for me!!  While I am intensely focused on a sporting event, a team, a season, etc., my mind is drawn away from the travesties unfolding in the rest of the world each day!!  But I've often wondered, if we didn't have such constant and immediate access to the modern day Bread & Circuses, would things be different?  Would more people be paying attention to the kind of things that are discussed and read here all day?  I do think so, but that is a genie that is not going back into the bottle any time soon....

That said, I am picking Denver.  I will come back to the thread before Sunday evening with my "bold" score prediction!!  lol
Title: Re: Super Bowl XLVIII
Post by: jmyrlefuller on January 29, 2014, 02:55:37 pm
Oh, yes, it's time for my Reckless Prediction again.

I started predicting Super Bowls back in 2005 (Super Bowl XXXIX). In that time, I'm perfect against the spread, except for two games.

Both games involved Peyton Manning. I predicted his Colts to lose to the Bears (he won) and beat the Saints, covering the spread (he lost outright).

Right now, Denver's only a 2.5-point favorite.

OK, I'll go all in. I think Seattle covers the spread and wins outright for their first ever Super Bowl title. I saw an interesting statistic on Fox Sports the other day: Peyton's performance drops precipitously in the cold; when it's hot, he's hot, when it's not, he's not.

That and I do not like Denver. After the Tebow fiasco and dumping Peyton Hillis because he was white, they are (insert not so nice epithet) of the highest degree. I was a fan of them years ago, but no more.

I get your point, but worrying about and discussing politics 24/7  365 days a year is no way to go through life.  For our own sanity we all need to step away from it for a bit of a break from time to time and discuss sports, our favorite music or movie, or even our favorite redhead.

Cute bunch of first Graders start spreading the news.

Those outside of Seahawk territory may not understand the "Skittles" in the video.   Marshawn Lynch eats Skittles while on the sidelines to boost his energy and settle a nervous stomach.  Fans found out about it and now every time he makes a touchdown skittles rain down from the crowd down on him.  Must be hell for the grounds crew.


NY, NY Go Seahawks!

At a heightened level, it is mental illness to post manically every day, throughout the day, night, week etc..

But the person will not admit to having a mental illness, such is the power of denial.

That said, I have no favorite or predictions for the game (a benefit of living in the greater Lost Angeles metro area--free of prejudices and free of teams). I hope it is close to the end, played and officiated fairly, nobody is hurt seriously, etc.

Being from the West, I have already "won" with both teams coming from my region.

To date the Simpsons has a zero for zero record so I would not be booking a flight to Vegas and laying a bunch of money down based on a 9-year old cartoon.    Now Eli the Ape from the Salt Lake City Zoo however, now that has odds makers taking notice. Thursday morning Eli swiftly knocked down a papier-mache helmet bearing the Seahawks logo, signaling his pick, said Erica Hansen of Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City. “He made his pick without any hesitation,” Hansen said.
The 13-year-old primate hasn’t been wrong since 2006. Last year, Eli charged out and knocked over a papier-mache goal post decorated with the Ravens logo. Sure enough, the Ravens beat the 49ers 34-31.

Not taking away anything from Manning, the Seahawks have great respect for what he has accomplished and what he is capable of, but the last time he faced a defense like Seattle's the Bronco's lost 40-10. Who was that defense?, oh yea Seattle.   Yes, that was a preseason game but  Manning was QB for all of those Seahawk points. And that defense and the LOB is far more mature today than they were back in pre-season. I think people who have not seen the Seahawks play this year or maybe just caught them in the playoffs are going to be shocked at just how great a defense they have.  And the Best Defense wins championships the majority of the time. 

Highlights from their last meeting....

Bronco's Elway: My beliefs align with GOP
By HADAS GOLD |
2/2/14 9:45 AM EST

John Elway said on Sunday that he aligns himself with the GOP, but that he doesn't plan on running for office anytime soon.

The football Hall of Famer and executive vice president of football operations for the Denver Broncos said on "Fox News Sunday" that though he sees himself as a Republican, he's in the "middle right."

"I don't believe in safety nets - obviously, we have to have some kind of safety nets - but I think my philosophy is when given the opportunity to go take advantage of that. I think that's when you get the best out of people," Elway said just ahead of Sunday's Super Bowl showdown between his Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks."So my beliefs align best with the GOP. I wouldn’t say I'm way right. I'm middle right. "

If Congress acted more like a business and gave a little to get a little, Elway suggested it would get a lot more done.

"I've been fortunate enough to be in business. I’m one of those that believes you have to give a little to get some. and so I’d like to see us be able to free up Congress a little bit and say we need to give up a little bit to get a little bit," Elway said. "If we were able to do that and we acted more like businessmen in that situation, I believe we would get a lot more done."

Asked if he'd ever seek public  office, Elway said he's been approached to run " a couple of times" but that politics may be a tougher business than football.

"I'd rather be on the supportive side than the guys that running, but also believe it's my duty to be involved, too," Elway said. "Politics is a tough business. Football is a tough business, but I’m not sure it's as tough as politics. I’ll stay on the outside of that."

My wife made some vegetarian wings so hot I can barely eat them. I made my usual batch of drumsticks instead of wings but just like wings.

Based on my sampling, this chili is going to be a mouth burner... wings were still edible... lol

I followed the game on NFL.com on a high-tech graphic. Kind of like x and o diagraming, but that shows what's happening in real time, with a pop-up summarizing each play.

Judging by the outcome, it may have been more interesting than watching the live action on the tube.

I live 15 minutes from the stadium. I'm glad I didn't spring for those $6000 tickets.

Excellent!  Judging by the sound levels in Met Life stadium, there are a bunch of Seahawks fans in Jersey...I say they deserve Honorary 12th Man status because they clearly shook the Broncos from the very start.  Peyton did not have a good day from the very beginning and it was clear that the sound levels were giving him trouble....in an outdoor stadium!!  Inside of a domed stadium would have been insane....

The 12th Man showed up big time.   One reporter counted fans walking by him on times square. In 30 min he counted 89 Seahawk fans and only 17 Bronco fans, based on the clothes they were wearing. Looked to be about that ratio in the stadium. They drowned out Mannings audables.

I said leading up to the NFC Championship game that that was the “Super Bowl” a matchup  between the Seahawks and the 49rs, and after it the Super Bowl in NJ/NY will seem anti-climatic. I was right. If you are not really into the Seahawks, chances are you got tired of the one-sided game and switched channels.    The 2 best teams in the NFL met each other two weeks ago.
 
The September issue of Sports Illustrated season pre-view special had Wilson on the cover with the title “The New Kings”, and it went on predicting Seattle would go to the Super Bowl.     Wilson  who is one of the lowest paid QBs has earned a big salary increase. Versus the Manning Brothers this season Seahawks are 66-8

Can't wait till next season.   Count on 49s v Seahawks on Monday Nights.

You betcha!  Already looking forward to another RedZoneChannel season.... I do agree that either game against the 49ers was a lot better than this game, but let's not take anything away from the tremendous accomplishment the Seahawks just made.  Really impressive performance all year long.  They do need to work on discipline and reduce the penalty yards they give up on every game.

According to Limbaugh this morning, many Seahawks fans question the choice of MVP and would vote for Peyton Manning if given the choice....
