Don't worry while you are making small talk they are sure to bring up how the best sporting event in a decade just happened
Then you can just go buy the ring and commit
It gets less and less "tin foily" when you consider that it was the Colts GM that leaked the original story about the footballs being deflated, and then again the colts leaking the story that 11 of the 12 balls were way under. To quote the Patriot haters, "This is why I hate Indianapolis fans and all their sports teams." I don't really, but it's fun to pretend to be irrational and delusional.
What happened with Rice?
Also, here's a quote from Gronk about Butler's INT:
You big, dumb beautiful bastard.

Jerry Rice admitted to cheating just days before calling Pats cheaters
there was probably stickum on the helmet for the helmet catch
Suddenly Montana's SB wins are all tainted. Good going, Rice! Just give the greatest QB title to Goober Manning and be done with it. He's too dumb to have cheated.
Eli still has one more legit win than Montana. Goober is GOAT.

The first 2 you mean
Tied with Goober now. Seems like Rice only managed to negate two of Joe's wins and all Young's accomplishments. That cheating sonofabitch.

Did Joe stop a perfect season from happening? NOPE
Eli the god is who will be remembered in 2000 years
if the giants win the superbowl next year i'll have to believe in the super natural
IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. The stars have aligned.

So much Patriots porn coming out of NFL network. Liquids out of all my orfices.
Now they have Manning getting crushed in last years SB. This can't get any better.

Kearse: How'd you get so open?
Baldwin: Cause i'm a beast that's why!
Lol yeah fucking right. more like because the ref picked revis. 1 catch for 3 yards is garbage. is there a worse #1 wr in the league than doug baldwin? i'm struggling to think of one
Same. The MICed up stuff is amazing. Pete's "Oh no" moment is going to haunt him, but it's great theater. Brady's scream reminds me of the commercial with the screaming goat, which is fitting since Brady is GOAT.

in a world where montana was never born maybe
I like how everyone was kinda of grinning before the play went off. Like the Seahawks 100% sure that they were going to score.
Jerry Rice negated Joe this week. Poof, just like that he's gone.

I don't know as I've watched it over and over Sherman was never sure. Not just in that infamous .gif. When Kearse caught that ball there's footage of Sherman still looking like it wasn't in the bag. I wouldn't blame the others. Should have been over.
It was definitely Dick who is caught on tape early in the second half saying Brady had no more heart left though. Right before Brady marched all over his defense.

So... since the Patriots are the defending super bowl champs, they host the first home game.
I was planning in flying me and my dad out to catch the first home game, but seeing as how the the AFC east is playing the nfc east this season, and my dad is a huge redskins fan, that is the game I am going to take him to.
What are the chances the pats will host that game.

It is a home game, although what week is still to be determined.
I wonder who the opener will be. Steelers maybe?
Pats are hosting Washington, but no way that's the home opener. It'll either be Buffalo or Pittsburg.

Eh you could say the same thing about Brady before that drive... When Edelman is like "it doesn't mean shit if we don't win," and Brady was like "We will win." Gotta show confidence.

Just watched the NFL Films mic'ed up. They're just so good.
FIrst Sunday without football since August/Sept though. Feels bad.
For someone like me that only watches everything NFL related, and also the NBA playoffs, this is a dark time. Not as bad as when the NBA Playoffs end and there's just...blech...baseball.

Did you enjoy this win more than the other three? I did. I've been riding this high all week.

That first win and the repeat felt good, but just the massive levels of shit the Patriots were taking in the weeks leading up to the game just sent this one to crazy levels. And they beat the Seahawks, which was just icing on the cake.
No, I was just kidding. I enjoyed the win over the Rams more. I'd rate this above the wins over the Panthers and Eagles though. Eagles laid down and died at the most important time in the game. Panthers put up a good fight at the end, but the entire first half of that game was a snooze. Beating a loudmouth team while most of the sports world is yelling "cheaters" is incredibly satisfying though.

The Rams won was emotional but I was young so I didn't appreciate the win as much as I should have.
Hmm. Do the have mic'd versions of the other patriots super bowls

Every NFL game to some extent is MIC-ed up. In regular season games it's often just one or two players. In the SB, there's obviously a lot more players/coaches with mics and also NFL Films has a lot of strategically placed mics to pick up game/player audio. So yep, all the old games have player/coach audio too.
That audio/video of Pete when he realizes the terrible mistake he just made is some of their best work.

That was a really good mic'd up vid. Really love seeing the emotion on Malcom Butler's face, can't help but feel good for the kid.
For me it was the fall and then rise of Butler that was so touching. His body language as he came to the sideline after Kearse made that miracle catch on a play that Butler defended really well is heart-breaking. Especially when you know the kid's history. And then to see that completely change two plays later is just remarkable. NFL Films captured that really well.

What's the kid's story other then being a rookie and all?

Too bad they won't release the mic-up video of the fight.
Undrafted, was working at Popeyes Chicken. Only one team gave him a shot. In practice he failed on this particular play and the scout team scored. In an interview he also said that when he was a kid he used to dream about making the big play in a Super Bowl, but as the years went by he became more and more realistic about the route his career was taking and the dream essentially died.
That's definitely the downside of NFL Films. They paint the picture they want you to see. Not the whole picture.
you can actually see the second his heart is ripped in half.
Edelman seems like a dude who really appreciates the situation he is in. Simmons Grantland article recapping the game really highlights that as well.
The NFL misrepresentation of the Baldwin catch is ridiculous and makes me distrust everything else in the Film.
We got so frustrated watching that play... it'd be one of the plays I just can't stop thinking about if we had lost lol

I'd still be complaining about that touchdown but the Kearse catch would hurt more.

Just an amazing play Butler did, no one could have predicted or anticipated it. He deserves mad kudos.
I am hoping the Hawks have $ to go around next year. Need some very key players back ie Lynch, Maxwell, Carpenter, Smith and a handful of others.
If I was Wilson and truly wanted to be a Hawk forever then I'd sign a very team friendly deal.

He's a 26 year old super bowl winning QB, he'd be an idiot to take too friendly of a deal. Especially since he's been paid absolutely nothing up until now.
Yeah definitely. Too similar to 2007
He's also young and you never know what the future holds. Kid needs to get paid now, but Hawks have to be clever about cap usage too
rokkerkory

Well of course, he needs to get PAID but I am just saying structure it as team friendly as possible. He deserves the money fasho but both sides can be smart about it if they want this legacy to last.
I love the shot at 5:36 where 3? Seahawk defenders attempt to tip the Amendola TD.

Wilson would be stupid to do anything other than take every cent he can get. This is his first real contract and NFL careers are often short.
