RockyRaccoon Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 I think that's the second worst Super Bowl I've ever seen (with the first being Ravens vs Giants from 13 years ago) and I've seen replays of all of them. Even the commercials weren't that great this year. Man, how was Ravens/Giants a bad Super Bowl? One of the best defenses in history right there. This Super Bowl I had no problem with. I thought it was some fantastic defense by the Seahawks and an incredible train wreck by the Broncos
CanAm Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) I think that's the second worst Super Bowl I've ever seen (with the first being Ravens vs Giants from 13 years ago) and I've seen replays of all of them. Even the commercials weren't that great this year. I agree. The commercials were definitely not as funny or as original as they usually are during the Superbowl. Let's hope that the Winter Olympics offer some compelling viewing. I can't wait for them to start if for no other reason than to relieve the endless tedium of watching the plethora of commercials advertising all that we have to look forward to during the games. I'm sure the Winter Olympics are a much bigger deal in Canada than they are in the U.S. My in-laws in California didn't even know when the games start until my wife told them during a telephone call last week. As far as I know , none of them plan to watch any of the television coverage. Edited February 4, 2014 by Guest

I thought it was some fantastic defense by the Seahawks and an incredible train wreck by the Broncos They (both SBs) were terrible because the other team never had a chance to catch up and we knew who was going to win throughout the entire game. In order to be a good game it needs to have suspense where anything can happen and it could all boil down to just one play at the end to determine the final outcome.

While I would say that a close game is better, I don't think blowouts are bad. As a football fan, it's enjoyable seeing an incredible offensive and/or defensive display. Even though it was against my Ravens, Peyton's 7 TD game at the beginning of this year was incredible to watch. It was a blowout, but the guy went nuts, and that was impressive.

CanAm Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Bluesy, you're a curling fan? Who'd a thunk it?
CanAm Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 You'd better believe it! Go, Canada, Go!!!
Carl Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 Our humble state is once again home to the men's and women's basketball champions. :happybanana:
Carl Posted June 13, 2014 Report Posted June 13, 2014 Good time for the World Cup. Both the hockey and basketball playoffs are dogs.
phil Posted June 13, 2014 Report Posted June 13, 2014 Love the World Cup. Good luck to USA and of course the Mother Land, Italia. The Dutch beat Spain 5-1. Ouch.
bluesboy Posted June 14, 2014 Report Posted June 14, 2014 Both the hockey and basketball playoffs are dogs. What! Anytime LeBron is getting beat is a joyous occasion. San Antonio is playing some good ball right now.
phil Posted June 16, 2014 Report Posted June 16, 2014 RIP Tony Gwynn. The purest hitter I have ever seen. Way too young.
CanAm Posted June 17, 2014 Report Posted June 17, 2014 Along with Rod Carew and Pete Rose, one of the all time great hitters (post 1950). Maybe his untimely death will serve as a wake-up call to other tobacco chewers. R.I.P. Tony.
bluesboy Posted June 17, 2014 Report Posted June 17, 2014 RIP Tony Gwynn. The purest hitter I have ever seen. Way too young. I agree, and I saw Musial play. R.I.P.
Carl Posted June 19, 2014 Report Posted June 19, 2014 .338 batting average was 10 points better than anyone else of his generation. Could have jumped ship to get a ring, but wanted to do it with the Padres.
CanAm Posted July 3, 2014 Report Posted July 3, 2014 Hey Ray!!! One Canadian in the Wimbledon final and another in the semifinal. Whoo Hoo!! With Jim Parsons (aka Sheldon Cooper) in her corner, how can Eugenie lose? I'm a proud member of Genie's army. Milos is in tough against Roger Federer, but if he brings his A game, he has a chance.
Rayzor Posted July 4, 2014 Report Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) I've been a Eugenie Bouchard fan since seeing her play on the Quebec tour when she was a kid. She was tearing through the other girls leaving them in tears. I honestly didn't think she'd be this good so soon, though! And let's not forget that she's a looker! As for Raonic his game is too one-dimensional. Just power & no finesse. Federer is fighting illness, but he's won championships while sick, so he knows how to cope. Milos will put up a fight, but Roger always finds a way to win. Edited July 4, 2014 by Guest I kant spel
CanAm Posted July 4, 2014 Report Posted July 4, 2014 Definitely a unique talent and one of the hottest women in tennis.
phil Posted July 13, 2014 Report Posted July 13, 2014 I don't know if Martin hangs around here anymore. Congrats on Germany's World Cup title. :haveabeer:
Carl Posted July 14, 2014 Report Posted July 14, 2014 Yes, a well-deserved victory by Germany. Was happy to see this end on a heroic goal and not a shootout. BTW, thanks to the mention by the announcers, "Bad Moon Rising" is our #1 song right now.
CanAm Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 The dirtiest team in the NFL goes down in flames because of an incredibly stupid coaching decision. It could not happen to a nicer team. So much for a Superbowl repeat. Sorry for the sour grapes, but the Seahawks are so arrogant, I just can't contain my glee even though I'm not exactly enamoured of New England.
