Predictions??

What I'd like to see happen: Philadelphia wins by a touchdown.

What most likely will happen: New England wins by two touchdowns.

Don, are you a.....mother canucker?

Actually, its true that the Patriots will win the Super Bowl. That is beyond doubt, but they will win by 4 points.

Speaking of which, who's seen that one 70's Super Bowl thriller BLACK SUNDAY that the late great John Frakenheimer helmed? Pretty decent it was!

All hail to the soon-to-be 3 time Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots!!!

I guarantee Philly will win, only because of the irony that my husband (one of the biggest Eagles fans) will not be able to watch the game because of his job. I mean OF COURSE the Eagles go to the Super Bowl the one year he cant see it. ha ha.

I honestly do believe that the Patriots will win this thing pretty easily. Las Vegas has them as 6 1/2 point favorites, but I think that if the Eagles don't start off hot, it could get ugly really quick.

I cannot believe that Freddie Mitchell said on an ESPN interview that he "has something" for Rodney Harrison. Come game day, I guarantee that it will be Harrison that has something for Mitchell! Everytime an opponent starts talking trash to these guys, it ends up backfiring (Ex: Mike Vanderjagt). I don't see why Freddie Mitchell all of a sudden thinks he is a stellar receiver. Either way, I cannot see any reason to bet against the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

Pats over Eagles, 21-17

It will be close the 1st half but then in the 2nd half the Pats run away with it .......final score NE 38 Eagles 17 ......

when is it on? i'd like to watch it for the first time but mostly get to see paul mccartney at half time

It's on about 6:20 PM my time.

Get ready for a late night. This year ITV will be showing it (although I'll be watching the much better Sky coverage) having made bigger bid than channel 5. The build up will start at 10pm our time and I think kickoff will be schedualed for 11.30pm. The half time show will be approx 1am.

Know what I enjoy most about Superbowl Sunday? ESPN2's showing the highlights of all the Superbowls throughout the day.

This is a tough one to call as far as predictions go. I think that both teams have a great shot at winning this thing. But I'll take a shot and say ;

New England - 27
Philadelphia - 23

Pretty darn close there DC. Can you give me any numbers for the mega million lottery?

I have no documentation to prove it, but I had it as 24-20 New England. Close, but im still pissed anyway. I wanted the Eagles to win, but they did make it interesting. But I guess Bilicheck's Patriots are champs again. Now its starting to get boring

Well my friend and I always predict the SB we both picked New England to win, although just before kick off I changed my pick to the Eagles.

Oh well I may have gotten the game wrong but I don't care as long as the Patriots won.

I had the Patriots more than I hate Vince Carter.

F*ck me man, I so wanted Phily to win. They couldn't run the ball and they turned it over too many times. I'm surprised the game was as close as it was. Eagles can do it again next year!

The MVP award should have gone to McNabb, man is he lousy. :rolleyes:

yea it was 24-21, i recorded it on dvd, easy way to save the bowls.

What a lame Super Bowl. Very sloppy and too many stops for replay reviews. I know they need to get the call right, but it just dragged an already long game even longer.

Although I had no rooting interest, I have to say that was a pathetic clock management performance by Philly with 5:00 minutes to go and being down 10. Show some urgency - there is no next game. As much of I dislike TO as a person, he is one outstanding player. McNabb was doing his Ben Roethlisberger impression by just throwing some real ducks and balls up for grabs.

And as a Browns fan, I can't begin to tell you how disappointed I am to have a soon-to-be 58 year old rookie head coach in Crennel. Sure his assistant coaching record is solid, but I think there is a reason he was passed over before and I'm sure we're about to find out why. I would have much preferred a younger guy who can build something. At best, Crennel is with the team 10 years. And that's a real stretch, considering his age and the stress associated with such a job.

First the Red Sox, and now this. Ahh well, good for Boston I guess... :p

Random Thoughts after the Chaotic Super Bowl XXXIX:

*Goombah, like your Browns could be any worse than it was under "Butch" David.

*Anyway, I think Crennel should be decent, and same with Mr. Weis over at Notre Dame...that is if the alums ALLOW the sucker to do his job, unlike what happened to his predecessor. Hell, I would cry that the Browns had Bellichick...too bad he got canned by that as*hole of an owner that moved the Browns over to Baltimore.

*Actually, McNabb had a TERRIFIC game in terms of statistics.....despite his 3 picks, he would have been possible the game's MVP if the Eagles had won.

*Speaking of which, I applaud "T.O." himself. He went from what I assumed to be a leg-hampered useless stint like Randy Moss was a couple of weeks ago to quite a good performance. Really, Terrell Owens may be a dick, but at least he delivers what he orders....

*Unlike Freddie Mitchell. 1 catch??!!? Man, now I remember what you promised to show Rodney Harrison yesterday......your mediocre-as-hell career. Fudget bout it!

*While Tom Brady(again :rolleyes: ) had a great game, Deion Branch totally deserved the Super Bowl XXXIX MVP trophy. Wait to go...whatever your name is.

*Here is my questions: Will the Patriots win the Super Bowl again next year? Also, how long until Mr. Bellichick hangs up that nasty old grey sweatshirt for good???

*"Now its starting to get boring". RaggingBull2003, I should smack you silly. What we are seeing will become absolute myth and legendary decades from now like the 1960's Packers, 70's Dolphins and Steelers, 80's 49ers, the Dallas Cowboys of the 1990s, and now the New England Patriots of the new millenium.

Though some of the fans of the Patriots should savor this while they can before they become absolutely crappy again. Just ask your local 49ers or Dolphins fan.....*ronnierocketAGO gets on his knees and cries like a little girl. 1972!!!*

*Man the commercials this year for the Super Bowl S-U-C-K-E-D. The only commercials I remember were the TV spots for WAR OF THE WORLDS and BATMAN BEGINS, both which should be decent at the very worst. Now BE COOL might be fun....though I guess the redneck wrestling fanbase is already fuming how "The Rock" is playing a gay bodyguard.

*At least "Sir" Paul McCartney didn't have a warddrobe malfunction. Probably the first time I actually part of the Super Bowl Halftime show since U2's gig a few years back. Of course the recently inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame U2 and McCartney both had what Timberlake and Janet Jackson lacked: Talent. Of course, would we even remember who Janet Jackson was if it wasn't for that "malfunction"?

*If the game was graded by letters, I give it a B-.

Pretty darn close there DC. Can you give me any numbers for the mega million lottery? [/b][/quote]All week long I felt that the 7 point line was a bit much, and thought, as you can see by my posted predicted score, that a 4 pt. line was more realistic. Now for my prediction on the mega million numbers.....................That's gonna cost ya!

Don Cardi

Now if I had any money to pay you would I need to play the mega million? :p Would you settle for a glass of White Zinfandel?

Wow!!! I never watched the superbowl before....but after this treat I got a little interested...and a Dutch broadcaster did live report from the game

So I thougt: first gonna find out the rules (I'm a noob )and then watch the game....I really loved it and was stunned about the excitement such game can provide....

I love it.

At least we covered.

Congratulations to the 2005 Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots! Hey baseball fans, spring training is right around the corner..

Only a glass? :rolleyes: I don't come cheap! Wouldn't a bottle be easier to ship?


Don Cardi

I know, I think pitchers and catchers report in 7 days! Man I can't wait to see Randy Johnson DOMINATE as a Yankee!

The game was sloppy, but it was still exciting. Most Super Bowls are blowouts with the exception of the ones the Patriots have won recently. Regarding the 4th quarter, I think the Eagles were too tired by the time the game reached that point. Two of their players left the field with leg cramps, and the Patriots just seemed better conditioned for this game. McNabb might not have had his best game, but I believe that this is not his last Super Bowl appearance.

My MVP award goes to Rodney Harrison. The guy was all over the field, having 2 INTs, 1 sack, and 6 tackles. I think they gave it to Branch because the award never seems to go to defensive players. Had Harrison not come up with the turnovers that he did, the Pats very well might have lost. To think that Mitchell "had" something for Harrison..........Harrison ended up with more interceptions than Mitchell had catches!!

I was listening to Mike & Mike this morning. They reported a rumor that McNabb might have suffered a concussion early in the game. Can anyone from Philly confirm or deny this? If he did, that might explain his performance. But it doesn't excuse the poor clock management - I blame that just as much, if not more, on the coaching staff than the players.
