Deion Sanders picked Seattle. Howie Long picked Seattle. There are more.

If you seriously think that Tebow would have played a better game than Manning, you really should refrain from commenting about football. I don’t know what the record for Superbowl interceptions is, but Tebow would have beat it by a wide margin.

When Denver loses, they lose big.

They have a long tradition of greatness in that respect. ;)

Well if not for Don Beebe, Dallas would have scored the most points in a SB.

I had been predicting 35-7, so I wasn’t too far off, at least on the way it would go.

Manning better get used to that picture (currently on Drudge) of the ball going by his head on the first play from scrimmage.

Shades of Jose Canseco.

Peyton Manning proved once again that, from September to December, he is a cross between Superman and Joe Montana. When it comes down to January and February, however, he is a serviceable QB at best. There has to be some explanation why he is now the losingest QB in playoff history.

Maybe he got complacent after winning his 5th REGULAR SEASON MVP award? No matter, Eli (who at the end of the game looked like he had swallowed a sour lemon himself) still holds the better SB record in the family.

The number 1 defense outscored the number 1 offense.

You’re probably right, but I still LOL’d.

And at least Tebow’s favorite target at UF, Percy Harvin, scored a TD.

Offense for Show, Defense for Dough.

Sehawks fan here too bro. I’m still pissed off about losing to the Stealers in SB XL but this makes up for it.

This is for Hasselbeck and the gang. Karma goes around!

Gotta see if I can find video now. :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Beebe

Beebe is well known for making one of the most memorable plays in Super Bowl history. It occurred during the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XXVII, after Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Leon Lett recovered a Buffalo Bills fumble. As Lett advanced the ball towards the end zone he began to celebrate prematurely by holding the ball out to his right side. Although the Bills were losing 52-17 at the time, a relentless Don Beebe streaked down the field and knocked the ball out of Lett’s hands just before the goal line.[4] The loose ball went through the end zone and out of bounds, causing a touchback and preventing a Dallas touchdown (which would have given them a Super Bowl-record 58 points). Beebe also caught 2 passes for 50 yards, including a 40 yard touchdown reception from Frank Reich earlier in the game.

Beebe has always been highly respected by players and coaches because of his strong work ethic and character. He was honored as an “Unsung Hero” in 1996 at the NFL Players Association Awards Banquet.

The safety on the first play characterized the rest of the game.

Broncos just didn’t seem to play well at anything.

One who does not believe the official explanation of 9/11.

You mean like people who don't believe the official explanation of global warming?

Or the official explanation of how Obamacare will work?

Okay, I understand now. Thanks.

i’m sorr, but you think he could have done worse??

ROFLMAO

i’m pretty sure Tim wouldn’t have fumbled the first snap

then again, i think manning’s showing was so bad, i suspect he received either death threats or a payoff. it’s tough to be that bad and still claim to be a pro
