The game reminded me of Super bowl 18 when the Raiders beat the Redskins 38-9.

At the beginning before the kickoff they showed the teams running on to the field. The Redskins looked like they were going to a picnic; Every player on the Raiders team had this same grim fixed expression that was scary to behold. The game was pretty much over before it began.

It wasn't the most boring, it was the craziest superbowl I've ever seen in my life. The first 13 seconds when the Bronco's scored for us against themselves was, well, stunning and something I've never seen. I've seen safety's no doubt, but I've never seen a dude hike that ball over the head of his quarterback, right back into the endzone, where Broncos must grab that ball so the Seahawks don't score a touchdown. And that set the entire game, it through Denver so much, it was pretty much over for them then. It was crazy.

This year's was a turkey ...

This year's was a turkey ... But . . .

I attended the very first NFL/AFL Championship (Super Bowl) at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in 1967 and it was a real snoozer. Boring is a better description. Green Bay boat-raced Kansas City 35-10. And, 62,000 fans showed up but it looked half empty in the Coliseum that held 105,000. We got tickets for 10 bucks.

And one other thing that stood out for me. A fella named Norm Schachter was the head referee and he just happened to had been my boys VP at Fulton Jr. High in Van Nuys, California. The guy could really lay a "swat"... I was always in trouble.

I didn't watch it, but friends and family that did all agree that it would qualify as a finalist for a "worse Superbowl ever" contest.

Lots of people love or hate NYC who have never been here. Kind of like lots of things in life. We'll survive this latest assault on our good city!!!

Fun read though says he who wlll unapologetically watch the game in sis's living .room, bantering politics with my right winger bro in law, and watching our respective dogs wrestle and stuff. Doesn't get much better than that. Friends and family, human and otherwise, know no bounds.

I look forward to Russell Wilson making Wisconsin proud. . .and Seattle of course too.

Glad you liked it.

The only reason New York is on my bucket list of places to visit is to see the Statue of Liberty --- hopefully from a tall ship. Way too many people there.

Probably just young. No idea about the weather forecast.

I remember that game in 1967. Green Bay. Watched it on TV in the sunny warm south. Not much of a crowd in the bleachers though. And no Paul Hornung.

Daggers: Fact: Forecast for North Jersey for Sunday is a high of 50F, overnight low 28F. Nowhere near '2 degrees' unless you are talking Centigrade.

If THE BEARS, the greatest team in NFL history, had their way they would be playing, at their field, Soldier Field, no roof, at 2 degrees above zero! Ditka was the man!!

Fact: The f#@##ing greatest NFL Championship ever played was in -15F weather outdoors in 1967.

Is the Informedbroker a dumb ass joker or just pissed off the Jets didn't make it?
