Who to root for in the Super Bowl?
Denver: Manning is probably playing in his last game. He deserves to go out on top.
Carolina: Coach Rivera is a Super Bowl Bear. I am from metro Chicago.
Leaning to Carolina.

I would love to see 0-0 tie but not going to happen. No interest in either team. But will probably watch hoping for a good game like last year. And I had no interest in last years teams either.

For me, it's all about the party and the commercials.

Dunno. I do want to see Manning go out on a high note, but this Cam Newton kid is pretty special.
It will be a good game, at least. Some of the preview commercials seem interesting as well. Now the halftime band (Coldplay), not so much. Not my idea of a good choice for a halftime performance. Nothing against their message or music. Just not what I think of when I think of a good, rollicking halftime extravaganza.

I'm rooting for Denver because of Peyton. I want him to have the second ring. Eli has one, and Peyton is a better quarterback than Eli.
It is illegal for me to root for Cam Newton due to college affiliation. In fact, we call him Scam Newton.

I'm with you. Completely conflicted. I love Peyton. But how do you cheer against Rivera, Greg Olson and Tillman getting Superbowl rings if you are a Bears fan. Also, Cam Newton is actually a really good guy. He does lots for children in the community. Shoot, they give their touchdown balls to the kids inat the end of endzone. Forget what he did or didn't do in college and look at the pro that he is.

Broncos!!!! I'm from Denver, but I also think this is Peyton's farewell and I want him to go out on top.

I don't care either way as long as the game doesn't cause a traffic jam that interferes with my planned shopping → it's less than 5 miles from where I live so that's not a given..

We're returning to the SF Bay Area from So. CA on Sat the 6th. I'm afraid we're going to run into an hellacious traffic jam heading home.

We're up at our cabin in the So. CA mountains. Snow is finally melting but I don't think our lows will get above freezing before we leave Sat am. So glad we traveled here on Sat and not Sunday when they shut the Grapevine!

Walk? Are you kidding me? I want to go clothes shopping and my feet will fall off by the time I am done! If traffic is really bad I'll circle back after one block, veg out and grumble...

I'm a Detroit Lions Fan. I'm used to the pain of my favorite teams losing.
Bronco's are actually in my top five favorite NFL teams. I'd like to see Manning win another ring but he has won a ring before so eh...
As much as I like Manning and Broncos something about the Panthers is telling me to root for them.
I keep saying I'm rooting for the Broncos but then my heart is going "NO PANTHERS YOU FOOL!" probably because they haven't been to a superbowl in a long time. They nearly have an underdog story and one of the players claims to have gone to Hogwarts.
I think I'll be happy with either teams but just for fun I'll root for the Panthers this year.
I'm hoping it's a good game to watch. Unlike when the Broncos lost so bad to the Seahawks... YIKES

I am not a fan of either team ... but since I like cats and the color turquoise, I may cheer a TEENY bit for the Panthers. No parties for me ... but my wonderful DH will be "at" the game (sort of)

I'm not a Newton fan at all. Yes, he seems to be a good guy in the community from what I can tell, but I don't like the on-field stuff. He says he is "just being me" and is having fun, but a great player should act like a great player. Act like you've been there before. Act like the great things you do were not special, but merely the fulfilling of expectations. There is no need to be immaturely showing off with all of the histrionics. Be professional. That's my issue with him.

Why not show that you love what you do? Why not show joy? Why is that so wrong?

We are Giants fans, so rooting for Peyton by association. I do kinda hope he retires afterward, and doesn't continue to return like Bret Favre did. Go out on a high note. This thread reminds me of the FWP thread
