I'm so ridiculously disappointed. You don't even know.

Still can't develop a feeling about who to root for or against.

Even the prospect of Mittens’ getting a ring doesn’t move me. The more I think about it, the more “meh” I get about it.

What about the prospect of Esteban Ochocinco getting a ring?

If that doesn’t move you, nothing will.

I guess nothing will, then, cuz I don't care if he does.

Never minded Chad as much as TO or Randy Moss. He’s a joker, but not as toxic as those two.

question

Does anyone know how soon after the super bowl that teams can start negotiating with thier own free agents?

Is when free agency begins I think. But normally after the Super Bowl, it just unofficially begins.

Back from the Super Bowl stuff in Indy

Best jerseys I saw were Tecmo Bowl classics (Two Bo Jacksons, a Randall Cunningham, and a Steve Grogan).

Now it’s just relaxation time before eating a shit-ton of food in a few hours and watching the game, Go meteor!

I've been wondering the past two weeks

Why are the Patriots favored in this game? The Giants are clearly the better team in my opinion.

i thought the giants were the favorites.

either way, the first half is gonna suck. halftime is gonna be even worse than the pro bowl opening act. but the 4rd and 4th quarter are gonna be kickass. pats 3 – giants 2. final score
