My husband is a Broncos/Peyton fan, I couldn't care less. I hope the commercials are good.

Eli actually has two. And yes, Peyton is better.
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.
Oh please. You watch football to be entertained. He is an entertainer. There is no law that says you have to be a boring sack of shit to be a professional. Why not show that you love what you do? Why not show joy? Why is that so wrong? I'd rather watch people play like men than showboat like...immature men. Not everyone agrees. So what? And why are you so angry at my opinion? Be professional.

Haven't watched a super bowl in years, I just don't care if my team isn't in it. If I had to choose it would be the Broncos, I have a lot of friends that are fans and they took me to the playoff game when they played the Steelers when I was visiting and it was a fun time.

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. Eli actually has two. And yes, Peyton is better.

Why do you guys care about Scam? Thought it was only his in state rivals that gave a crap. Are y'all the ones he beat during the National Championship? (I suck at remembering who was played against, just remember win/lose)

(I suck at remembering who was played against, just remember win/lose) Yeah, that'd be us. The ones who were up 31-0 at the half a few weeks ago and managed to lose after our QB and C were injured at the end of the first half. We are having a good men's basketball season though, so that's helped the FB recovery.

The Broncos' kicker went to my high school and college. I figure if he's going to follow me around then I might as well follow him.

Another reason for me to root for Carolina:
Trump is rooting for Manning (Denver).

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) Molly...the Hallmark channel has the Kitten Bowl starting at noon, and repeated throughout the day. It's hosted by Beth Stern and Boomer. I think this is the third year.

Side Note in reference to the game: I'm glad Bronco's won. I didn't care who won at the ending of the day because Panther's hadn't been to a Superbowl in a long time, and then Manning it was his last game.
I'm glad Manning got his lil football happy ending...
And the way Cam Newton acted after his loss was very immature. He said he didn't appreciate advice he'd been given about being able to have a come back. He sat there not answering anything. And then just walked off.
Yes, he just lost. MANY men have lost the superbowl and they don't all act as much of a poor loser has he had. He's in the NFL. He's playing against the big boys. This isn't High School or College anymore Newton. You have to brush off a lose and show the world next year you've got this.
You haven't even been in the league long. And you're making mega money to be being disrespectful out there. It's not the crying I'm talking about BOY it's the disrespect you were showing.
Someone gives you advice saying you can turn this around and you're telling everyone No you're not listening to it. -shaking my head-

TOTALLY agree about Cam Newton. I suspect he has just lost himself MANY who would have rooted for him in coming years. He just acted like a 3 or 4 y/o who had a playmate grab his favorite toy. NOT pretty in a grown (?) man.

I'm happy Peyton got his win and the Broncos got it for their owner, who has Ahlzheimer's. I hope Peyton decides to retire for his own health.

I think someone needs to be checking the finanacial records of the Newton family. Deliberately not trying to recover a fumble ? Then if you watch replays he handed the ball off to player and then reached back in to try to grab it back out of the players grasp. And as for the "about to pass" fumble - he held that ball so long that I could have batted it away and I'm only 5'4" pushing 73 real soon. Maybe he needed to put on a good show about being a sore loser. Good sales job. Hey I love a good conspiracy theory - like Iggy said we Raiders fans have it in our DNA. But I do think he played a lousy game. But his publisist will write him a awe shucks speech and all will be overlooked. (if this has happened already I missed it since once FBall is over I don't pay much attention to sports networks) Didn't they fine Seattle player for not talking to press. Guess Newton skirted that by mumbling a few words. OH and these are words coming out of the mouth of a Dye Hard Auburn fan so not easy to say. Bottom line though I do hope Manning retires - one more bad hit and I think he is going to pay a sever price. And I would like to thank the HOF for finally placing The Snake in there. To damn bad he had to die to get inducted..............

I'd hate to be a member of the Manning family. Way too much pressure.
