That’s a whole lot of question avoiding from two sides of the one argument.

3244

I just have a sneaking feeling that this superbowl will be a blowout and Denver will hammer them.

[quote=“Gman, post: 890299, member: 112”]So no surprises this year, first time in a while I’d say that the pre season ‘favorites’ end up in the superbowl.

Denver have a lot on offence that I think can trouble Seattle, and I still dont think Seattle have enough on their offence to win. In saying that, if they can get any sort of pressure on Manning, it would help. That O line for Denver has been immense the last few weeks. If Manning gets time like that he will pick any secondary apart, even the much lauded Seahawks. If the Seahawks can get away with playing dirty, and lets call a spade a spade here, they are dirty and dish out plenty of cheap shot hits and have lots of holding, then they will be within a fighting chance (and as much as I call them dirty, I was yelling at the Pats to start throwing a few hits, either at Manning, or at Welker or someone, no hard shots at all from their defence. You need a bit of dirt in your defence to win. see all the previous winners, all had someone to get nasty and put the QB on his ass).

I’m rowing in behind the Seahawks from here. That John Denver’s full of shit, man.[/quote]

The 49ers were the pre season favourites after Denver. The rest of this post is breathtaking. Denver’s have a lot on offence and could trouble Seattle you reckon? Give manning time and he’ll pick you apart? Seattle are physical? You might want to think about copyrighting such ground breaking analysis, Chris collinsworth better watch his back.

3246

what the fuck is your problem?

3247

All Sherman’s interview was missing to be genuinely perfect was for him to call out Peyton Manning in the style of 1990s Booker T.

I’m leaning toward a Broncos win. Pro Bowl draft could be fun. The actual match will still be a jokeshop.

Bowman’s injury was just like this movie. Certain ACL. [shudder]

That Broncos secondary aint shit… Brady twice over threw it last night when Edleman and Collie were in clear daylight… Dobson, with his one good foot, made some good plays and Edleman, the only danger really, was a constant thorn.

The hawks are no worse than the patriots offensively but are light years ahead defensively… think of the amount of possession and big plays they made against both the Pats and the Chargers yet in both games they were restricted to 24/26 points and open to a come back in both game. Throw in Mannings inability to play in the cold…

Seattle will bully them up and down the park.

[SIZE=4]Last night in the NFC championship, the San Francisco 49ers trailed the Seattle Seahawks by six, 23-17, with 30 seconds left in the game. Quarterback Colin Kaepernick had led the 49ers all the way down to the Seahawks’ 18-yard line. He took the snap out of the gun, set his feet, and released a flossy little fade to the corner of the end zone, where receiver Michael Crabtree had his hands out. And then Richard Sherman happened.
Sherman, a 6-foot-3 physical marvel and the current best cornerback in the NFL, leaped with Crabtree, and falling backward toward the rear of the end zone, he tipped the pass with his left hand back inbounds to a teammate and ended the 49ers season.
It was a spectacular play, a historic play, the kind of play we’ll be seeing on NFL playoff ads in five, 10, 20 years, when the name Richard Sherman dances on the tip of our tongues, just out of reach, and the memory of this year’s conference championship is clouded and composited with the memories of playoff matchups to come.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=4]But we’re not talking about that play today. Instead, we’re talking about what happened right after the play, when reporter Erin Andrews found Richard Sherman in the postgame scrum just seconds after the final buzzer. Because what happened next [COLOR=rgb(45, 157, 146)]was absolutely epic.
When Erin Andrews asked Sherman to rehash the play, the cornerback instead barked out: “I’m the best corner in the game. When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, that’s the result you’re gonna get! Don’t you ever talk about me!” Then he glared directly into the camera.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=4]The first thing you should know about Kanye West’s manic episode on tonight’s Jimmy Kimmel Live is that he had some shit in the left corner … [COLOR=rgb(45, 157, 146)]Read…[/SIZE][/LEFT][/RIGHT]
[SIZE=4]When you’re a public figure, there are rules. Here’s one: A public personality can be black, talented, or arrogant, but he can’t be any more than two of these traits at a time. It’s why antics and soundbites from guys like Brett Favre, Johnny Football and Bryce Harper seem almost hyper-American, capable of capturing the country’s imagination, but black superstars like Sherman, Floyd Mayweather, and Cam Newton are seen as polarizing, as selfish, as glory boys, as distasteful and perhaps offensive. It’s why we recoil at Kanye West’s rants, like when West, one of the greatest musical minds of our generation, had the audacity to [COLOR=rgb(45, 157, 146)]publicly declare himself a genius (was this up for debate?), and partly why, over the six years of Barack Obama’s presidency, a noisy, obstreperous wing of the GOP has seemed perpetually on the cusp of calling him “uppity.” Barry Bonds at his peak was black, talented, and arrogant; he was a problem for America. Joe Louis was black, talented, and at least outwardly humble; he was “a credit to his race, the human race,” as Jimmy Cannon once wrote.
All this is based on the common, very American belief that black males must know their place, and more tellingly, that their place is somewhere different than that of whites. It’s been etched into our cultural fabric that to act as anything but a loud, yet harmless buffoon or an immensely powerful, yet humble servant is overstepping. It’s uppity. It is, as Fox Sports’s Kayla Knapp tweeted last night, petrifying.
The problem is that it’s not just white folks who feel this way. Last night, Golden State Warriors wingman Andre Iguodala received nearly 3,000 retweets from this:
The problem is that too many people think that Iguodala has a point. Too many of us think that one ecstatic, triumphant black man showing honest, human emotion just seconds after making a play that very well could be written into the first appositive of his obituary, is not only offensive, but is also representative of the tens of millions of blacks in this country. And in two weeks time, in the year 2014, too many of us will be rooting for the Denver Broncos for no other reason than to knock Richard Sherman down a few notches, if only to put him back in his place.[/SIZE][/SIZE][/FONT]
