I obviously have a lot of video watching to do tonight.
I’m so glad i have this thread! I have no one but DH to talk to about this, and he’s not nearly the football nut that I am. Seriously, around here you wouldn’t even know there is a Super Bowl. NO ONE is talking about it.
UGH!
Ok, I know I have zero right to complain after what the NE got slammed with this weekend, but we were planning on watching the SB at my favorite sports bar down by Detroit. But now we’re supposed to get slammed with 8+ of snow on Sunday night. Now it’s not looking like we can go 
BTW, I don’t care a huge amount about outcomes of games. I’m happy when the team wins but I’m not playing, no one in my family is playing, etc. It’s a game. It’s nice when NE wins because people here are happy. But I have to say the amount of self-absorbed criticism will not abate because that’s also NE.
Also BTW, Edelman is a tad over 5’10" and 200lbs. He’s not small. What distinguishes him is ability to change directions and the accelerate rapidly, plus extreme toughness.
And I saw the kind of thing today that makes me shake my head. Jeff Blake - remember him? - said every team lets air out of the balls because they’re too hard out of the box. Left out of the coverage? He retired before the NFL changed the rules to let teams practice with the same balls they use in the game. They submit a bunch and the officials can accept or reject each one. So his story is useless but it gets picked up because sites don’t give a bleep about accuracy if they can attract clicks. Annoying the way “journalism” has become more like the kind of crap depicted in The Front Page.
Lots more Patriots gear being worn around.
However, I am now keenly aware that Seahawks fans are “the most hated” fans in the NFL even surpassing Steelers fans. Who knew? We think of ourselves as being involved in this epic Woodstockian love fest and who wouldn’t like us? Well, now I am coming out of my blue and green bubble a bit, but oh well. There is always the “most hated threads” thread and The Methadone Thread if I am driving y’all nuts. 
Or is that all y’all?
5’10" 200 lbs!? That’s smaller than Russell Wilson! 
(who we all know is undersized)
p.s. I hope you realize that I’m being silly if that doesn’t translate well online
Romani, come to my house! Sunny and 60 degrees! And ribs!
LasMa, I’m a vegetarian but sunny and 60 is enough motivation for me!
I just had a flash of trying to imagine “vegetarian ribs”
You are lucky that I have a cousin in Sunnyvale so I already have a place to stay next year
What, we are the most hated fans? Why? We’re the nicest fans ever. We won’t shoot you or beat you up if you’re a fan from the other team cheering loudly. We won’t be rude to you, in fact we’ll probably be nice, because we have no hate towards other teams or their fans, even if we’re losing. We’re just in our little world of happiness…at least for now.
. . . should it come to that
I have to admit that we are pretty self absorbed which can be annoying
But I am anticipating total blue and green insanity on Sunday. The 12s are traveling in a serious way.
Alaska Air added a few more flights to PHX for this weekend…
Unfortunately tickets are 12k for nosebleed. I know I few people who went down without tickets hoping to get them last minute and I hear there are quite a few like that.
I would not call lack of hatred or contempt for another team as being self absorbed. Seattle has the nicest, most considerate people I’ve ever met, and I’ve lived a ridiculous number of places. Just put your blinker on, on a crowded freeway and watch the cars part for you. It’s almost annoying.
OK - I just watched the extended version of Conan, Marshawn and Gronk playing Mortal Combat not once but twice! I am going to consider it “laughter yoga” and call it therapeutic. OMG!!! It is bloody and inappropriate but so, so funny.
I am only appearing in this thread tonight so I don’t get fined.
