The best team in the history of the NFL? I doubt it’s even close. Now if you’re talking the best franchise, win this one and they certainly will be. However against a Foles led Eagles team is not inspiring to me. If it’s putting you in a happy place, enjoy.

One step at a time and ever forward!

Glad to hear it Tab!

Fight-on Bro

I'll be more excited about this years game than most of the last 10 years super bowls.

Why?

I think it's cool that the game is in Minnesota, but it would be even cooler if it were in Cleveland.

Cleveland needs to build a roof onto their stadium.

I mean,

Minneapolis, didn't they have a stadiums Roof collapse, just in the last 15 years,

AND, they had a Bridge collapse in the last 15 years also.


Bring the Super Bowl to Cleveland, it would be a much better place to play the Super Bowl, especially if the Browns put a roof onto Cleveland Browns Stadium.

History. Wouldn't you like to know that if Brady won his 3rd superbowl in a row that you saw it real-time. If he does that's historical and not likely to be repeated in our lifetimes, if ever. I want to see that as it happens. And if the Eagles win I want to see that as it happens as well because there's a great story line there too.

Anyone can watch a replay of the game after the fact. But watching the game not knowing the score is big to me.

I guess that watching an evil cheating dynasty win over and 0ver again, isnt that thrilling to me.

That is NOT a good story. In fact, its sad and pathetic, and a snooze fest.

There is no joy in their winning. None, Zero.

I'm sorry Eve.

But even hate is a high level of passion, especially if you get your revenge. So there's that.

In the years the Browns didn't exist the only football games I could watch were those that had teams I liked vs those I really hated. I couldn't root for the team I liked because I liked the Browns and I don't have them because some fat, lying, scumbag of a human being snuck out with them in the middle of the night.

So, I hated on the team I hated. I didn't care if the team I liked lost. Meant nothing. But I cared a great deal that the team I hated lost. These were a very few, hand-picked games and even if the team I hated lost I wasn't happy because, Browns. Though I must admit, on a rare occasion I'd get an evil kind of happy about it. So there's that.

I'm not a Patriots fan AT ALL.

But I'll be dealing with Patriots fans often during the next few months. Starting tomorrow.

And if the Patriots win, these people will be happy and generally more pleasant and helpful to deal with.

Don't think so?

You try dealing with a grumpy municipal employee.

Also, historically, I've found Philadelphia fans obnoxious.

Agreed. I thought I’d be the lone person here rooting for the Patriots. I respect a winner.

Go Pats!!

I wouldn't bet money on them, but go Eagles!

I’m rooting for the Pats. Mostly because my wife hates Brady with a passion. So it’s more fun to root against different teams.

Foles played like he's the Greatest of all time. It was a Great game, hope you watched.

Very entertaining game.

The excitement today is the Pat's lost. Haha, I don't think some people even know the Eagles won, it's just "the Pats lost" that matters hahahahah. I love it!

Man, lose a bunch of coordinators, Gronk maybe retiring (rumors but still) and Brady getting older - still projected to take it to the distance?

Haha, we can't even win a dang game! A single game.

Game was better than I thought it might be. NFL should hand halftime out to somebody else.

This was like People Magazine with a few pigskin flareups. It would be interesting to know how many hours of worthless jawing by how many talking heads I had to avoid to get to game time. SB handlers have moved beyond the tipping point for what many fans will watch and endure and sit through. Hurts this sports event IMO. Best part for wife & self (we agreed!!) was Collinsworth. Better than a number of talking heads with non-stop drivel. We watched, but we had regrets. I do not think it has hit its bottom yet. It was the Not Very SB One. No doubter that Number Two is close behind.
