I've been to three superbowls in the last decade, I've always flown in and out either the day before and out on Sunday or in and out the same day. The week-long tourist shit here is fucking ridiculous. Between New Yorkers giving precisely zero fucks about an event that usually takes over a city and the NFL being butthurt by its inability to shut the whole town down, we probably won't be seeing a Superbowl here ever again.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.  We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

Under 15 hours to go. Hope I can sleep at least some of that, but I am about to start pacing around my house already. Any posts you see from me between now and Monday morning will almost assuredly be extremely alcohol-fueled, so I apologize in advance  Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

Just be glad that you are in a decent time zone.  I am facing the prospect of watching it with a nominal start time of 30 minutes past midnight.  And then regardless of outcome, I would not be able to sleep afterwards.  So I face the prospect of a virtual all-nighter, or recording the thing and watching tomorrow afternoon (with high risk of spoilerage).  I don't know what to do.

Holy Shit. It's here. Yeah, I kept waking up through the night. But the food's been prepped, and the beer has been picked out. Now all is left is waiting.

It will be an amazing and awesome game. I'm working and we are bringing food, so that means every dip-shit with a month to years old complaint will come in...even if we try and keep the tv on the game, the patients will be like "i hate football, we are watching crazy shit on tv."

I thinking Seattle with the awesome defense can pull it off. I'll probably get to watch hi-lights from the game around 0300 if lucky.

I'm just hoping no one does a self inflicted tracheostomy to themselves again or they decide to have a brick fight again.

The jingoism of FOX annoys the hell out of me.

Also, as I said before I pick Denver to win though I like the seachickens better.

Wow... just wow. Denver just doesn't seem to be working on offense. They look frozen for a second before they do anything. Astounding.

Oh yeah, the Super Bowl's on. I wonder who's doing the half-time gig?

Oh. It's Bruno Mars.

Didn't they have Prince on a few years ago? Wtf happened?

Janet Jackson's nipple popped out and scarred a nation for a generation.  They haven't gone anywhere near anyone risky or contemporary since.  Prince was a safe bet because he's born again. Madonna was a safe bet because she hasn't been edgy in 20 years.

Oh and who the fuck is Bruno Mars.  His third song was decent, but I switched to the Puppy Bowl when those old hacks Red Hot Chili Peppers came on.

Yeah, so the game is not going at ALL how I thought. However, several people have texted me that I don't talk to often to rub it in. Good job people.

Seattle: Amazing win. We did all we could to help you win too. As always, stupid mistakes plague the Broncos, on top of that, Seattle was CLICKING on defense. Props.

Defense matters a ton in the NFL, and Denver just couldn't deal with Seattle's D or play any functional version themselves.

I picked Seattle because I'm a defense first guy, but I'm shocked Denver didn't even show up from the go.

EDIT: Also, the hat was an omen for sickrubik.

Huh.  The #1 defense in the league will win the Super Bowl.  Go figure.

Broncos sucked hard in this game, played terribly.  But give credit to the Seahawks, that defense is smothering and their offense seemed really sharp as well.

This is the worst ass-kicking in the salary cap era, replacing the Tampa buttkicking of Oakland in 03.

I think it is clear that next year's half-time show needs to be Hooray for Everything.

The game being a rout is good in one way: I get to change the channel to PBS to watch Sherlock without needing to worry about missing the end of the game.  awesome, for real
