I'd say the Packers are gonna win by a wide margin...but I didn't think Seattle would leave it so late in Dallas either.

I've had too many bets go down late recently. There are only so many kicks in the balls a man can take . Hence the cash out.

But if GB win I've pretty much punched myself in the plums

Big sted heads that are so tough that they have to wear helmets, padding and Lycra, and they only play for six second intervals maximum.

A sport of utter quegs watched by quegs.

The Rugby World Cup has just pissed all over it.

well either way tomorrow I'll either be gutted over the bet , or the packers losing . And very tired with less than 3 hours kip

Get yourself some bulletproof coffee for these nights. It's coffee with butter. So the fat in the butter slows absorption of the caffeine which gives you more sustained energy. There's also no sugar for any insulin spikes so you won't crash. I've depended on that stuff for work.

Mate I watched the final. They don't even hit hard.

Could barely stay awake if I'm honest. That kick thingy from open play was ace though.

Great. Put on some MONSTER TRUX mate and get bartering your wife if that's more your thing.

Their defense is a concern but I do not think it is any worse than it was in previous Super Bowl appearance years. I'd be excited as a Pats fan. I might live vicariously through them since I'm a Redskins fan and they're pitiful.

I am losing a lot of interest in this league. Maybe because I am getting older, or possibly because there is absolutely no consistency on the part of the refs. In this game alone, I question my understanding of "roughing the passer."

I am not losing interest, but I will say that I have no fooking clue what is what these days. That 'incomplete' pass in the Seattle/Cowboys game still has me puzzled.

The 49ers/Rams game was completely awful...hard to watch. 25 accepted penalties.

It's like the story regarding the old supreme court justices and pornography.

"They can't define it, but they know it when they see it..."

Just like Clattenburg can be completely trusted in all games involving Liverpool F.C. (rolls eyes)

That's my cousin. You wouldn't believe the child support that guy skips out on. He parks his county truck behind the bowling alley by the door you can't see from the street. Don't play pool with him for money.

Yeah, the entirety of the Seattle-Dallas game has me confused. The refs threw flags and then picked them up for: 12 men on the field, two timeouts back to back, and pass interference in which the Seattle defender was blocking the receiver before the ball got to him. Then there's the whole crucial 3rd down pick play which gave the Hawks their game-winning drive.

Don't get me wrong, I loath the Cowboys but this is just one example of terrible calls and missed calls. I had to watch the Browns-Cardinals game which was even worse. There was even a missed call in which the Cardinals defender speared McCown as he was sliding.
