SUPER BOWL SUNDAY!

[Walker]

Game starting! For the duration of this game, I have completely defected to the Ravens.

YOU GOING DOWN, 49ERS.

With the Ravens in the superbowl, this thread was an inevitability. Yes, that's directed at you WALKER!

Walker, I too am rooting for the Ravens this year. Number 30, Bernard Pierce, was in my grade at high school. No, I never knew the guy. He beat the crap out of some other kid and transferred high schools before we graduated. Also, Lower Merion High School (also once attended by Kobe Bryant) has the worst football team ever. It was probably a good carreer move on Pierce's part by beating up that kid and graduating somewhere else instead. Still, that's more of a personal stake in Baltimore than I have with San Francisco.

GO RAVENS DON'T BEAT ME UP BERNARD

I couldn't possibly care less about football, but I'm rooting for the 49ers. If they win, my roommate is going down to San Francisco for some big parade or something like that (like after the Giants won this last world series), which means my girlfriend and I will have my apartment to ourselves for a weekend. :sly:

So, yea, go 49ers.

Pretty much. This is one of those "hail to the Ravens" situations. Alternatively, raise high the black and gold!

football.

 

[cheezMcNASTY]

Inb4 yet another joke about how football in america has less ball-foot contact than rest-of-the-world football and is therefore named improperly lol stupid America.

Too late. :|

 

[Walker]

Seriously, dude, give it a rest. That joke MIGHT have been funny the first time. Not the eightieth.

Anyway, DAAAAAAAAAYUM BITCHES. That was ugly, but HOLY **** THEY WON.

GO RAVENS!

 

[Necromancer]

Yea, really, we all get it by now. In the context of a general sports thread, I'll call it American football to differentiate it from soccer, but in a thread like this, we all know what it means. The semantics of it all is really not a big deal.

I was rooting for the Ravens. I don't have any kind of attachment to either team but I like birds and I like cool logos and I like black, gold and purple, and I like literature references (Poe the Ravens mascot), and the sound of "forty niners" doesn't do it for me. Of course for those who are attached to the teams, Ravens in particular, this game meant much, much more.

I was disappointed up until that power failure. I don't like landslide victories. I like neck and neck anyone's game true duel of skill and determination. Otherwise it's like Goliath punching the crap out of David for fun. When the 49ers made that comeback I got extremely excited, and it confused the people around me. "Thought you were rooting for Baltimore." "I am, but I want them to earn it."

It was a great game. Excellent displays of skill and guts and glory on both sides the whole game through.

A ball doesn't have to be spherical to be a ball.

...Why am I arguing this. :/

 

[Gikoku]

And the original Cleveland Browns win another super bowl, not bad. Was disappointed the Giants didn't make the playoffs, but despite not being a fan of either team I have to admit they put on one hell of a game.

 

[Walker]

Holy ****! This is sweet! I can't wait to check the news and see how much of downtown Baltimore was reduced to a smoking ruin by the afterparty!

Yeah, you'd've gotten stabbed for expressing that opinion in my house. My brother's a die-hard Ravens fan now and he was getting ****ED after the ****ing power went out. Which, incidentally, was retarded.

And on the subject of the name, yeah, it's not just the mascot. The whole team is named for the poem. Because, sure, Poe lived a lot of places, but since he died in a drunken (?) stupor and was buried in Baltimore, he's an honorary Baltimoron. Plus, the poem is awesome. And the colors are Maryland's colors, plus purple, so WOOT!

HA! Sucks to be Cleveland! (Anecdote: did you know that technically the Browns name, logo, records, history, etc, all stayed in Cleveland, and it was just the roster, staff, and presumably office furniture that moved to Baltimore?)

 

[Tsuyu]

I wouldn't call it a joke. More of an educational announcement.

:troll:

Yes.. yes it does. Surprisingly no, but I do now.

 

[Lenop]

Oh question. That 108 yard kickoff return, totally 109, right? Right? Tell me I'm not alone there. After all, the whole reason for the internet is to find people who agree with you, right?

 

[Angel]

Yeah...I just saw the word "balls" and got very distracted...
