Love to see a close game, but man that will go down in history.
I can't wait to see the Sherman .gifs in the next couple of days

So the team accused of cheating wins the game. What a great league the NFL is lol. Just glad I didn't waste a minute of my life on that event. Instead I watched the Puppy Bowl, no cheaters there, and watched a few more episodes of Marco Polo.
@trailboss : not just the worst Super Bowl call of all time, but the worst play call in any game ever. You can't get worse without willfully throwing the game. Some plays are awful in hindsight, but that call was amazingly awful regardless of what happened. There isn't a better back in that situation in the known universe than Marshawn Lynch. There is no downside to giving him the ball. You know who agrees with me? The greatest football coach of all-time, Gen. Robert Neyland. He said, "Three things can happen when you throw the ball, and two of them are bad." And the General never had Beast Mode.
No, not generally speaking...and I was not implying that specifically. Actually, I would think poor play calls would be one of the less likely ways to "fix" a game, but then again it could happen.
I haven't watched any sports in years and didn't watch the game today...and I don't gamble either. But I have heard a couple of interviews with the author from that site, and IMO, he makes a compelling case...and he's not the only one that's made it. But unlike most people, the idea that some or even most of professional sports may be "fixed" is something that would not surprise me in the least...so I guess I'm predisposed to think along those lines to begin with.
I had no idea there were so many unemployed NFL class coaches on this forum!
Two Super Bowl teams in two years? Coach Carroll cinched a raise. He's golden! He's not yet at Belichick's level but, he sure as hell in getting there in relatively short period of time.

Unbelievable... my team loses by not doing the one thing that has got them to where they are the last several seasons. They're a run first offense and with 1 yard to go and 3 plays and you throw a INT. Ouch!!! I will go to my grave knowing that Seattle should have been back to back Super Bowl Champions. Talk about choking! I still can't believe it. I'm so upset right now and will be for a long time. Heck, I'm still upset that we got screwed in SB 40. To make things worse we lost to the Patriots. I can't stand the Patriots. The only teams I hate more are San Francisco and Dallas. Horrible horrible play call. To all the Patriot fans out there... give Darrel Bevell a huge Thank You card because he pretty much gift wrapped you a victory with that play call. :crying:
I just awoke and found out what happened, pretty much. My first impression is that it does seem risky and ill advised to pass attempt with a running game like the 'hawks have at the one yard line and the game on the line.
The idea was likely that no one would expect that. One yard. That's a close game right there.

That lucky catch that got them to that position to start with was one in a million.
It was just luck that they even had the option to run and chose not to take it.
Sea Hawks fans will complain about that call for the next year, but it was a good super bowl nun the less.
It would have been a lot better for me if I was a fan of either team.

Otto Graham I believe has the most championships. The Super Bowl is simply the NFL Championship game with a different name. For a few year it was a game between two different leagues. Now, it's simply a highly, some say over hyped, hyped NFL Championship game usually played between teams who have already met during the season.
I was speaking only to QBs. Graham as seven championships over two leagues. Starr has five. I'm a results oriented guy. There's "great" and there is "the greatest ever." Then, of course, there are the "greatest of his era" and "greatest I've ever seen," etc. etc.
These types of discussions should actually only be held in smelly, smoke filled, sports bars, me thinks. :
