Wait I thought the super bowl was last week...  so much intensity and hitting. 62-35 was a pretty high scoring game come to think of it.

[eball]

Jesus, I'm a sap for animal commercials.

Niners win the Har-Bowl; Baltimore hasn't seen a defense this good in their run to New Orleans.

I once went to a strip club where Landslide was the choice song.  Totally ruined it for me.

35-21 Ravens.  Flacco MVP

[Vanek-Man]

This one i thought is hilarious...

People are already calling this one, and equally innocuous Coke one, racist.

Because it's 2013 and everything is racist.

For the love of god and all that's holy, I sure hope not...  I suspect so, but I'm rooting against the Ravens with everything I got...

[Robviously]

I'm against the 49ers winning because I don't need Colin Kaepernick winning the Super Bowl in his tenth NFL start.  No one's life should be that awesome.

Flacco has had to take a bunch of crap from people over the years (especially last year when he literally wins the AFC Championship if Lee Evans catches the ball) so it'd be cool to see him finally win the big one.  Also, a Ravens win will mean we get literally the most amazing post-game interview of all time from Ray Lewis.  50-50 chance that the clouds open up, a ray of light comes down, and he gets sucked up into Heaven.  90-10 chance that nothing he says will be intelligible.  

All that said, predicting a 49ers win.  And they deserve it because it's been several months since that city won a championship.

We hosted a pretty sick balcony party last night with Eddie George DJing and Troy aikman. How the he'll do people actually live in this city....

[wyldnwoody44]

3 words will propel the ravens to victory.....

Deer. Antler. Spray

It's rumored that Sams club was having a sale on cases of the stuff and the ravens bus was spotted loading it up.

Apparently it was not only used orally, but they replaced the hot tub water with it, added powdered forms to their food and also made antler enemas.

The ravens just went from being small Mario to P-wing Mario!!!

[wjag]

Please don't let that felon win anything today...  Prove to the rest of us that what you do in life matters and that a thing called karma will vist Ray and his team tonight.

[thanes16]

Pulling for the niners. Completely do not want Lewis to gain another title. What a thug...

[d4rksabre]

This game would be way better if it was at the Ralph. Domes suck.

[d4rksabre]

This is the Super Bowl I was hoping it wouldn't be. Lame.

[SwampD]

Am I the only one rooting for Baltimore?

F the 49ers!

I'm not even mad. I like Beyonce.

Probably the best one I can remember. No Doubt wasn't bad. And that ZZ Top/Blues Brothers one back in the day was good.

[wyldnwoody44]

Wow what a way to start the half

Just an absolute collapse in the big game. This isn't even worth watching anymore.

Jones making a strong bid for MVP.

Isn't it amazing what a couple lines of blow and an extra pint of blood at halftime can do for someone?

New Orleans is New Orleans is New Orleans.  It amazes me when someone can pull off a candlelight palm reading there.  It is the most dysfunctional city in America, and I'm writing this while I sit in a city that's likely in second place (as usual!) for that title.  The fact that the state can elect someone like Bobby Jindal as governor is remarkable (and you all can remember that I'm slightly left of center, not right); perhaps he's just alphabetically first on the ballot or something.  I never have seen a city that can't "get it" the way New Orleans can't.  Frankly, rebuilding it was a waste of time and money.

Yes, but their Beignets and Hurricanes are delish.

Beignets are overrated, and hurricanes are Kool-Aid with liquor.

EDIT:  And no, I have no reason to hate New Orleans.  I've been there twice, it was a nice time each time, but it's like an alcoholic Disneyworld.  There is nothing authentic going on at all.  And yes, that includes the Garden District.  The best part of that city--the house where William Faulkner wrote his first novel--is gone.

Pardon me, but my current home of Chicago, IL, has the murder rate of a third world hell hole.  Maybe you want to rethink most dysfunctional city?

Seriously wish that had happened in the FNA when it was 3-1 Sabres.

C'mon man, you sound like someone killed your dog there.  I'll give ou the hurricanes but the beignets rock.  And the food is absolutely amazing.  Some of the best cigars I've had.  The music is second to none.  You deny there's culture?  Don't buy it.    And yes there a sh*tload  of alcohol but it's a city where you can go and unwind.   Ive been there multiple times and never have a bad time.  Buffalo on the other hand....

This has nothing to do with murder rates, but still, Chicago has a huge history of corruption.  Maybe Buffalo is third and not second.  NO still has to be first, though.

The "culture" is manufactured, like Disney.  It's as authentic as a polka band that only plays on Dyngus Day.  There is good food if you stray FAR from the beaten paths.  And good cigars?  Are you kidding?  You'll do better in Fort Erie (legally) than in New Orleans.

This has nothing to do with a comparison to Buffalo.  I realize that we need to up our game with respect to out-of-towners.  But NO?  As a model?  Come on.  I've spent better weekends in Richmond, South Bend, Tulsa, and Asheville than I ever have in New Orleans.  There just is no "real" there.

Don't judge us based only on our murder rate though.  We're also completely bankrupt, have horrible schools, the worst airport in America, and an entire city full of mentally impaired homeless people who swear at you and demand money.

Now you just sound like a spiteful exboyfriend.  French 75 and Cigar Factory are/were some of the greatest cigar spots.  Granted, they're no Sundowner.

I love Chicago.  I have family there.  It's my second-favorite American city outside of this one (DC is first).  

O'Hare is far from the worst airport in America (try Denver sometime) and isn't even the busiest anymore (Hartsfield).  The people asking for money are no worse than Allentown (Buffalo, not Pennsylvania), but are worse than NYC and DC.  I'll give you that.  I don't know about the schools.  But I do know that if there's one thing Chi-town does well, it is political corruption.  I apologize for leaving you out of that discussion originally.

They don't legally have Cubans, was my point.  Canada does.
