All things sporting [3]

Your Charlie Brown avatar seems particularly appropriate right now.

I was thinking about changing it after Christmas, looks like I'll have to leave it up longer.

LACES OUT, DAN!

{{{I do feel for you bungo. Reminds me of Romo bungling the hold back in '06 (though I didn't realize it had been that long).}}}

Yeah, what was with that? AND kicking from the left hash marks? What the...?

Watching that just makes me angry. It's like the whole thing was staged just to prop up the "Seattle is so great" narrative. So strange, where are the "boos" from the crowd?! All I hear is cheering! Seattle didn't deserve to win. Get rid of Walsh. He's missed to much this season, especially when it really counted.

Go Patriots!

As a Ravens fan it would feel weird to cheer for either the Patriots or the Broncos, so I'm just going to sit back and enjoy possibly the last ever Brady-Manning game. We've been lucky to see so many from such a great rivalry.

Go Broncos! Cheatriots can suck it!



Also go Panthers!

It would be kind of fun to watch the Panthers go on a postseason revenge tour beating the Seahawks (2005, 2014), the Cardinals (2008), and the Patriots (2003). But I like both Cam Newton and Larry Fitzgerald so I can't really be mad no matter who wins the NFC Championship.

If the Patriots win I am going to take a day off so I can stay up for the super bowl. Brady is throwing like a moron right now though.

Since when did a Brit care this much about Yankee football?

Since about 2004.

Wow. The best thing about American football is it gives you plenty of breaks to refill your beer, make yourself a snack, fiddle with the thermostat...

I vomit profusely every time they show Bill Belichick.

maybe you should hold back on the beer and snacks every down.

Exciting end to the AFC Championship. Goddamn Gronk, though.

Carson Palmer looking really shaky so far.

God damn at the NFC game. Just brutal.

It's really fun to see how much Cam Newton and the Panthers enjoy being there, though.

Stupid Patriots defence. Sure they are supposed to protect the QB!

Didn't see any of the other game... little too late for me.

Yeah I missed the NFC game too, because I went to bed at 5:30.



@2:30 I really don't think that should be considered a touch down. It should be more than just breaking the plane of the goal. There was no forward momentum; he reached the ball over the plane and was immediately pushed back. I'm just sick of these fake touchdowns.

Yeah, it's called a touch-DOWN.

Gah, who'd want to watch it anyway? The Packers win.

Well that was a pretty ugly Super Bowl on both sides, but the Broncos' D lived up to the hype and the Panthers just couldn't execute. Glad that they faced facts and gave the MVP to Von Miller.

You know, a third team might make the game interesting... 

Dont mind the game, but why so many breaks. It was like watching an advert that kept getting interrupted by a football match.
At one point there was a 3 or 4min break then it went back to the game, a guy kicked the ball another guy caught it then they all went off again.
Play lasted about 4 seconds then another break for a few mins. How a 60min game can last 3 hours or more is beyond me.
Watched 10 maybe 15 minutes of it then turned over to another channel.
Like i said, i like the game, but a highlight package is better to watch.
