<font color=goldenrod>Speaking of Harrison...his HOF speech is going to be awkward as all fuck, that is if he even goes. He's always been super awkward dealing with the press.

Also there's the whole "might be a slum lord who very likely killed somebody" thing.</font>

How lazy could you bastards get? Nobody makes a super bowl 50 thread. Got damn lazy bums

ummm there are 4 different superbowl threads in casual

Weirdest shit ever on the Pre-game show. Alternate history of the Buffalo Bills if they didn't shit the bed four years in a row.

Anybody who had to pointed to the circle to stand probably has CTE.

What was the prop bet time for Lady Gaga's?

The game just started and Nantz is saying its almost time for the Halftime show? Da fuck.

<font color=goldenrod>Congrats to ClockShot and the Broncos. Crazy good defense.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>Broncos 2016 home opponents: Chargers, Chiefs, Colts, Falcons, Panthers, Patriots, Raiders, Texans

Patriots/Broncos Thursday night kickoff game feels like close to a lock. Only other teams I could see being considered are the Panthers for a SB rematch or Chiefs if they want a divisional game.</font>

Congrats to the Broncos. Strange season with them having a chance to not make the playoffs in the final week to make it all the way.

Von Miller is def the MVP. No voting matters.

WE DID IT!

Gonna be a fucking good day at work tomorrow.

Yeup their defense the whole season was scary good. Kept them in games long enough to let Peyton and Brock have those comebacks, the top seed in the AFC, and now the SB championship.

Jesus Christ...manning wont retire so we'll get manning vs brady One Last Time* week 1

Ugh

Please send all defense credit to Mr. John Elway for defensive personnel acquisitions, and Mr. Wade Phillips for creating a monster of epic defensive proportions.

<font color=goldenrod>One year after the dumbest play call in NFL history, Marshawn Lynch announces his retirement in an interesting way during the Super Bowl:</font>

Now to listen to people shit on Peyton Manning because he didn't have enough to do with winning this Super Bowl.

"He was the greatest regular season QB ever but he couldn't win the big one."

"Yeah, he won the big one multiple times but it was never because of him."

Fuck football fans.

Feel like you directed that at me. Numbers/stats dont lie. The Broncos could have won this game today with (insert the worst QB you can think of) at QB. Hell they would havewon all 3 playoff games that way.

Just like how the Colts won SB 41.

<font color=goldenrod>Man, I'm so happy for Peyton. Yes he didn't have a very good game and the defense carried them to this Super Bowl, but I'm so glad he got another ring before he left. If the Colts or Broncos were playing when the Giants weren't on, I'd always pay extra attention to those games just because of Peyton. Watching him elaborately orchestrate an offense and basically be his own offensive coordinator was fascinating. It was an honor to watch him all those years.</font>

Except Peyton Manning is the greatest regular season QB ever.

... And you're a Joe Flacco fan and will act like he did big things in their SB season and actually helped them win a Super Bowl.

So fuck you. You're a retard.

<font color=goldenrod>It's not easy to get back to the Super Bowl, but the Panthers seem like they can be a force. I know right after Super Bowl 47 I was certain that the Niners would win a title with Harbaugh and that defense. Then as it turned out they only had one year left of their peak.

Then again, that team also had so much weird shit happen to them with firing Harbaugh, surprise retirements, and the league figuring out the read option. For the Panthers, Cam might get even better, they don't appear to be headed for a mass free agent exodus, they tend to draft well, and they'll be getting Kelvin Benjamin back. Tough to see this team not at least being a contender for a few more years.</font>

You don't know Flacco is better than Manning? Weirdo.

Manning has 2 rings AND 4 appearances. Best regular season QB. Basically, he is a living legend.

Feel like Carolina's offense can only get better. Cam has Olsen and then who else to throw too? He need a WR1 and he will be golden. No idea how old their defense is though.

How nasty would it be for Carolina to get Forte for his last couple good years? He would be such a huge upgrade from Stewart.

Division-wise, South's weak enough that I wouldn't be surprised if Panthers won it again. Saints and Falcons both have some serious issues that might take a while to resolve (Saints D, Falcons O). Tampa is a wild card since they are way too inconsistent to write off but at the same time experts have been consistently wrong about when their break out moment will occur.

Now that the season is over, the Tennessee Titans are ON THE CLOCK! Hopefully they don't fuck up the draft in 3 months.

Carolina is gonna be fine for a while. I'm relatively sure Cam will end up with a ring.

I'm just glad Denver won because of how it fucks with the Manning haters' "only one ring" argument.

V glad Denver won. Love Peyton and great defenses.

I am in love with ESPN not even acknowledging Lynch's retirement last night.

Exactly how he'd want it, right? lol

never change, NFL thread

Don't really care what he wants. I care about what I want. If both of those things align it's all gravy.

Can we agree this was the most boring super bowl ever ? lel

So, make the case for/against Lynch's HoF chances

Numbers-wise he wasn't bad but I don't think he really stuck out particularly. Having the SB ring will help. I think passing the eye-test of being one of the most dominant RBs of his era helps his cause but idk if that's enough to put him in. Because sports are retarded and the media has some say in things that will hurt his cause because media types like to feel self-important so they will snub his @$$

I don't think he'll be first-ballot kinda guy but might sneak in

Required to point out Ravens defense in 2000 was better and didn't give up an offensive TD or 10 pts in SB

In terms of relatively close games, probably. But most of The blowouts (specifically thinking SF/SD) were way worse.if Peyton Manning wasn't so bad it could have easily been a blowout

It's pretty crazy how good Denver's defense is. I think having a "media whore" like Peyton kind of helped put a chip on their shoulder because they've been so good all season but everyone wants to give credit to Manning for leading them to victory etc.

They wouldn't have won the SB without Flacco. 11 TDs to 0 INTs in the playoffs tying a guy named Joe Montana. His 4 games in the playoffs that year were better than both of Mannings SB winning runs and that's a fact.

Yeah c'mon troll Droford all you want but Flacco's SB run was arguably the greatest postseason ever
