But seriously, it's the Super Bowl. It's our last day of football. If NBC is going to milk the broadcast, we may as well join in.
So what's everybody cooking/drinking today?
Oh, and go Giants or something, I guess.

Is this the earliest game thread ever?
Feels like it.
Got 7.5 hours till kickoff

Yeah, I'm not complaining.
It’s just funny. They usually start maybe half an hour before.
I definitely plan on being drunk by 4.
Perhaps I may be ahead of that prediction…by two hours.

It might be alright.
They got Cee Lo Green + Cirque de Soleil with the old bag so it could be entertaining.

I've always liked Cee Lo. he carried a lot of songs
But the edited versions of his songs are just not what I want to hear. If he came out and did (for example) “in da wind” with trick daddy I would be impressed.
And at least we don’t have to worry about a nip slip.

Giants 27 Patriots 24 is my pick
Last time they played in the SB I stupidly turned down a chance to go on a small radio show (not Seattle I think) because I guaranteed the Giants would win the Super Bowl by 3.
That day I picked 31-28, so I’m going 27-24 today.

Careful, NBC
For one time in the last decade you’ll finish #1 in the ratings today….don’t remind everyone why you’re usually in last place.
Tacos and full liquor bar with plenty of beer.

The Puppy Bowl has been on since noon, for the record.
Why you guys are watching NBC already is beyond me.
YOU'RE MISSING MADONNA'S INTERVIEW, DOOD!
Guess what? She’s completely oblivious to the face that NO football fans want to hear her sing.
Another shocker: she doesn't know anything about football.
I’m sure she was told 5 minutes before this interview that Victor Cruz does a salsa dance TD celebration.
Is it on basic in the Seattle area? Unfortunately that's all I have.
Long suffering, committed Seahawks/Packers fan
Making about 2 gallons of chili (might have to leave out the beans though, damn pot is kinda full)
plus a quick salad, loaf of garlic bread, rice (I’m asian goddamnit, I can have rice with my chili if I want to) and maybe cornbread.
Not sure what’s happening on the liquor front, I’m thinking of just drinking juice (i.e. Smirnoff Ice or maybe Blueberry Lemonade)
Long suffering, committed Seahawks/Packers fan
Oh, and just because I can, I'm also heading over to Burger King to grab some free onion* rings
*though they are indeed free, and generally shaped as rings, the “onion” in this is highly debatable
Long suffering, committed Seahawks/Packers fan
Oh? Didn't actually know that.
I was referring more to the taste, I think BK must put something ridiculously addictive in them because I always end up getting some even though they only sorta kinda taste like onions.

OT- I hate my grade 1 sprained right ankle.
Thinking if I should do squats or completely ignore it for at least one week.

It's incredibly sad
A tragic story takes a worse turn. The ticker says two children’s bodies were found but it’s probably Josh’s kids.
Read my tweets or whatever - @SSReporters
Oh my goodness at the Josh Powell story
That is heartbreaking.
Read my tweets or whatever - @SSReporters
He's the husband of Susan Powell, who went missing in Utah in 2009
She still hasn’t been found, and Josh is pretty much regarded as a primary suspect and this case was profiled on 48 Hours Mystery and Dateline. Josh’s dad is also under charges of child pornography possession and he claimed to have had an affair with Susan.
Based on the reports, Josh’s kids visited him per visitation rights, the caretaker was forced out of the Powell home in Graham, WA and the home exploded, killing Josh Powell and his two sons.

The story is super dope, but the writing is unbelievably bad.
Wouldn’t take you more than a weekend or two to finish the whole trilogy though, more than worth it.
I love how Aaron Rodgers just totally called out the Giants for faking injuries on national television.
He didn’t even try to hide it.
They quite clearly have done it
The Rams gave them lots of trouble in week 2 and they flopped all over the place. Luckily the Rams are the Rams.

I am taking a shot every time they show the helmet catch.
I’m pretty drunk already.

How much would it suck if they took a game away from the CLink so the Seahawks could play overseas?
It’s a shitty thing to do to an already-fragile fan base like the one in St. Louis.
I don't think it will happen to any west coast teams.
At least not until London has it’s own permanent team.

On this day, 6 years ago
Bill Leavy and his crew, Jerramy Stevens, Michael Boulware, and Mike Holmgren’s clock-management brain freezes led Pittsburgh to a 21-10 win over the Seattle Seahawks. :(
Read my tweets or whatever - @SSReporters
Don't forget the most annoying trick plays in history.
At my very core, I think the fucking trick plays are the thing that has made me hate the Steelers franchise the most.
Game changed on 3rd and 28
Wistrom whiffs on a sack and then Boulware completely loses Hines Ward on a desperation throw.
2011 defense + 2005 offense = Super Bowl.

The anniversary is tomorrow, not today.
And I prefer not to think about any play from that forsaken game.
The anniversary is today

I know Pittsburgh won, but the fact that Seattle finished with the best record in the NFC
And still was a 4 point underdog to the #6 seed shows how disrespected the Seahawks were that entire year.

Painful
How much more painful can this pre game show get. And btw be happy u guys get decent commercials in Canada our station takes over and we get to watch the same commercials about 7 times in a 3 1/2 hour game

I officially declare I do not care who wins this game. But...
I do want to express that I want to “lick the tears” from this game. Meaning I don’t really care who is winning/losing toward the end of the game but I will certainly root for the comeback. It means the game is close enough for me to give a fuck, and I love reading the meltdown on the gamethreads of teams who lose at the end. They are always fun to me.
Manly sport of football has Faith Hill, Kelly Clarkson, and Madonna all singing today
Yep.
