The poll is closed and a slim majority of Dvorak Uncensored readers think the Colts will win. Feel free to discuss your opinions on your favorite team in the comments.
To our non-American readers, we feel your pain. Spending three hours to watch 12 minutes of actual play time is asinine to us too. But take solace in the fact that the ads are entertaining, the cheerleaders are smoking hot, and any excuse to drink beer is a good one.
I have double standings today.
#13 – you got it. The True spirit of sport is to try and destroy the opponent so lopsidedly and thoroughly that they feel unworthy and commit suicide. Give it your A effort at all times – anything else is disrespecting your opponent.
For example, you’re playing ping-pong for the last time to 100 with your 105 year old dying great-grandmother. You’re ahead 99-0. Do you let up and let her have a point or slam home the final ace?
#14 – the crap is there to set mood and build anticipation for the next 6 seconds of play action. Try doing “stoner vision” football: mute the TV and play the radio broadcast of the game for audio. The radio guys have to paint a picture with words and usually do a better job than the TV guys.
BTW: Super Bowl Sunday is the most important day of the year. It should be moved to Monday and made a mandatory two day holiday. This would allow the full weekend to party in preparation, game day on Monday and hangover day on Tuesday. Everyone in the country gets two days off with pay.
#7 asked “.can someone remind me which dumbass kids game takes over to keep the over-entertained lumpen distracted for the next few months?”
That would be NASCAR. Daytona 500 is Feb 14, 2010. Start your engines.
#6 said “The Vikings went to their stadium, committed at least 7 soul crushing mistakes and still not only took them to overtime but had a legitimate shot to win in regulation.”
But this was the Vikings. Guaranteed to break my heart every time they begin to look like they may actually win the Big One.
I’m mostly rooting for an exciting game. The last two Super Bowls were incredibly exciting right up to the end.
Will we get 3 in a row?
#25 – I agree, but the point is that the Saints are beatable. The Vikings Curse is another matter…
#26 – Hope not. Hope it’s Colts all the way. A lot more enjoyable that way.
#25 – By the way: It would be nice if the Vikes could at least get to the Big One before the heart rending loss.
Considering the Curse, my thought is the Vikes will make the big dance, have a comfortable lead and be cruising when an earthquake will strike and level the stadium.
This is unAmerican: Sorry, but why should I care?
I’ve never met any of the people that will play nor been to their cities and in the end moving a piece of chemically treated pig skin around seems to be something better suited to a few friends playing outside after school or on a Saturday. I can remember doing that with great fondness.
Who cares?
…But at least it is a great day to go to the movies.
I hope the white chick wins!
Based on the two cheerleaders, The Saints will win.
#31 LOL
Based on the two cheerleaders, the Colts, with the open crotch cheerleaders, will win.
#29
You should care because it one of the few times you will see a sport manage a championship properly.
Based on the cheerleaders, it’s going to be a very low scoring game.
Too bad it’s not real football like the CFL.
(wait for it…)
Missing option: Who gives a shit?
For those who don’t like football, that explains a lot about you.
An interesting but useless study might be the political leanings of pro sports fans vs non-fans.
Even more important, who will win the Scotties?
Team Canada or Team PEI?
12 minutes of American Football is far superior to watching 90 minutes of kicking a ball up and down a field and the game ending in a tie or 12 seconds of reading any post on this site by SN.
