NFL Super Bowl XLVIII |OT| Best OP In The Game

Status
Not open for further replies.
Coming up on my fourth year. My wife is a lifelonger (17 years and counting).

It started when I read Eating Animals by Foer. For me it's a combination of things, but it mainly comes down to health and impact on the environment. I used to have high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels, and have a family history of heart disease and stroke. One grandfather died at 56, the other at 63.

I had blood work done before starting the diet and every three months afterward for a full year. My doctor was blown away and asked me what I was doing. My BP is now perfectly normal, my lipid levels are in check, and my cholesterol numbers are well below average. According to my doc, I now have basically zero risk of heart disease as long as I don't become a sedentary fool.

Also, I really don't trust the way we grow/consume meat anymore. I've been to one of the mass meat-production factories and it's pretty terrible. Cows and chickens are so chock full of hormones, antibiotics, and other garbage that I want nothing to do with it. If you're willing to pay more for free range, grass fed cattle you're probably okay. If you're buying the junk that's cheap in the supermarket, I think you're probably rolling the dice.

It's all good man. I respect you plenty enough already, glad you're taking care of yourself.

I use to have a horrible diet a few years ago, and would be embarassed grocery shopping. Showing a cashier that "yeah, this is the garbage I'm eating.." Still could work on some things and mix it up a bit more, but I'm definitely eating much better than I ever did before.

I try and keep it simple really. If you can't pronounce an ingredient, you shouldn't be eating it really, but moderation is all well and good. I'll certainly be pigging out plenty on Sunday! Hopefully my cold and flu is gone so I can go to the gym in the morning and feel better and give all that food something to do.

Back onto Football... the Jerry Rice Football Life tonight should be a good watch.
 
Anyone catch Conan last night?

Why would you root for the Seahawks and wear our avatar and everything if you didn't want this matchup?

Fuck him this game is to please us. Broncos and Hawks fans. He is mad that he lifelongs like 5 teams and still none of them are in the super Bowl. Boohooo to poor Squicken.

EDIT: The year of the horse has arrived in Chinese culture. It seems like a divine blessing by Tebow the Broncos will win.

Hello Everyone,

What commercials are you guys looking forward to? I like watching the Super Bowl because of the commercials and the musical talent that performs at half time. I hope "Drizzy" Drake is playing the half time show. He's the coolest Canadian cat that I know.

What are you most looking forward to about the Super Bowl? Let's make it into a game.

JABEE

Fuck the Patriots
 
I hope the issues plaguing GAF are fixed by Sunday. I need y'all to keep me awake. It's fucking late out here

Big baby. This is how the real fans do it! I would invite you over for beer and pulled pork, but you're in the wrong country. Still, you're one of us now.

ONE OF US! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

I have not been banned much here since i joined. So I get short bans. It was actually a welcome break from GAF. I might have to request them later on.

Milchjon was a true trendsetter. Way ahead of his time.
 
he's a colts fan from florida, i refuse to let him root for my bronco.

i rather be a colts fan in florida.

than a pats in florida. or a pats fan in general for that matter. (or a jags fan in disguise).

it is no coincidence that gabe newell, mark zuckerberg, and bill gates only found success after leaving MA. you guys suck.

it is no coincidence that the greatest people in the world are born and raised in massachusetts, but you can try to spin that however you'd like.

stop going off topic, we should be talking about Bronco and why my team is winning it this time!

I hope for a new commercial with that talking baby from E-Trade. It's so weird to have a baby talking like a real person.

uh uh uhh, you cannot be the compound for the racist of the northeast, and house the greatest people on the planet. this does not go together. it's like me saying the smartest people on earth are born and raised in florida.

besides, you guys are in contention for the most unbearable accents in the country. next to some of the south. btw, boston market is overrated, and tom brady sucks.

You can't call anyone out.

we can talk this over during the colts vs jags game next year. this is not the place. this thread is about the broncos vs seahawks showdown.

You know we had a great poster here a few months back who was a big fan of Anna Kendrick. I hope he's doing well, I miss him!!

Michael Irvin is insane. Enjoying the debate topics here, but Irvin is over the top bonkers.
 
welcome back hippie, were you taking a cigarette break?

Bread Tobacco is gross. It does not help me mountain bike in snow like I did all this week. I only smoke small amounts of dank ganja 2-3 times a week because it feels free!

Stay off the bath salts and fat prostitutes buddy boy!

I'm a classy man and I will not stand for these ad hominem attacks on my character
 
Hey, hey, dog thanks!

At least we only have a few more days to wait. I would have been sick of talking the Super Bowl by now if I had not been banned. lol

Yeah I'm just taking it easy until the game. Trying not to hypothesize how it will turn out and just enjoy it when it comes.

I read in an article that said the broncos feel pretty good about their cold weather practices. not just the ones this week, but throughout the season. Sounds pretty encouraging.

I remember hearing all the weather talk before SB XLI. How a dome team couldn't play in the elements against the Bears. Anything goes in the Superbowl.

People forgot that Denver isn't a dome team,
 
i'd like to finger bang her butt and vag too. i'd also like to finger bang her mouth but with my wiener
You should be a sex ed teacher.

You obviously could have been the goat. Half of the class would just be about the various methods you would defile various female (male?) celebrities. Just remember not to make any comments about the hot kids in your class.

Manning was kind of eh for 2.5 to 3 quarters.

I think the doubts are reasonable for him in bad weather and the stats back it up. To me I think the Hawks will keep manning in check to a point. It will come down to Broncos D against the Hawks pathetic offense.

Yeah, they've played well in the cold, Titans game was a good example of that. Think it was 11 with wind chill. Saw it would be mid 20's for the game on Sunday with minimal winds so that's a plus.

It's weird that cold weather is used against Denver, when Seattle has much more milder winters than Denver does. I understand that cold effects the consistency of offense versus that of defense. Even with that said, it's enough of a difference (between Denver and Seattle) that it makes one wonder why they don't question Seattle's ability to play in the cold. I'm sure it's just a play style thing.

Cold isn't being used against Denver; it's being used against Manning. He's spent the majority of his career in a dome, he's old and he's been inconsistent in cold weather. If Manning plays like an old man wanting to get out of the cold then the Broncos are fucked.

Edit: the Seahawks aren't the Titans
 
Our Governor might be a spineless weenie, but he's a funny spineless weenie.

http://www.denverpost.com/superbowl/ci_25016885/colorado-gov-renames-tallest-peaks-broncos

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper is taking Super Bowl hoopla to new heights. He announced Wednesday that he's temporarily re-naming Colorado's highest mountains for each member of the Denver Broncos. The state is home to more than 50 mountains over 14,000 feet, called "14-ers" by locals.

Hickenlooper renamed the tallest mountain, Mt. Elbert, for Peyton Manning, while Zane Beadles and other members of the offensive line are getting the Collegiate Peaks range. Capitol Peak, considered to be the most difficult to climb, was temporarily renamed for Champ Bailey. Longs Peak went to long kicker Matt Prater.

In his proclamation, the brewpub pioneer also takes a dig at Seattle, noting that it makes some "OK beer."

WHEREAS, the Denver Broncos gave Coloradans a lot to be proud of this season, including becoming the first team in NFL history to score more than 600 points in a single season and winning the AFC Championship; and



WHEREAS, Seattle makes some, well, OK beer; and



WHEREAS, the Seahawks have a 12th man, whatever, while the Denver Broncos have the greatest fans -- men, women and children -- in pro sports; and



WHEREAS, we are proud of the majestic mountains in Colorado, which is home to 53 14ers – the same number of players on the Denver Broncos’ active roster; and



WHEREAS, Peyton Manning bears a symbolic resemblance to Mount Elbert, the tallest 14er in Colorado, because he stands tall as an extraordinary leader of the Broncos; and



WHEREAS, Matt Prater kicks the football long – an NFL record 64 yards long – and could be compared to Longs Peak; and



WHEREAS, the Broncos offensive line stands together, like our Collegiate Peaks, rooted into the earth and preventing anyone from getting to Peyton Manning; and



WHEREAS, there are many other connections between other 14ers and players as referenced below;



Therefore, I, John W. Hickenlooper, Governor of the State of Colorado, do hereby hurry up and proclaim Sunday, February 2, 2014,



DENVER BRONCOS-MANIA DAY



Here is the full list of mountains (ranked by size) and the active players the peaks are being renamed for:

Edit: the Seahawks aren't the Titans

Manning specifically has played well in the cold while in Denver. The game in NE was part game plan (heavy utilization of the run, 37 Moreno attempts), part heavy crosswinds that chew up his loose spiral.

Temps in the 20's is hardly cold, especially if you are conditioned playing outside during the course of the year. I also understand that Seattle is not the Titans, but it's just an example of cold weather not slowing the offense down. The Broncos lost every game they played in a dome this year too :)

I'm not saying that they will win it, but the weather is not a factor unless you get heavy winds 20+. Heavy snow helps an offense more than a defense as well, so I welcome that if it wants to come. Basically, the weather is a non-factor imo.
