I have to agree with not wanting a Superbowl in NYC in the winter time. I personally think the game should be played in a warm climate or dome so the weather doesn't affect the outcome of the game. If it's cold and rainy or snowy, that favors a running team and obviously hampers any passing attack. Yes, I know weather is part of football, but for the championship game you should only have to overcome your opponent - not the weather too.

So...all season you challenge the elements and the other team to get to the championship, but you don't want any distractions in the championship. Seattle deals with rain, Denver with cold. Not alot to offer in NY they don't already deal with.

Well, SPED, no one except Peyton and his teammates (it would seem) know what "Omaha" means when Peyton uses it. It could have a code for variation of plays based on what was said in the huddle. It could be code telling the team the called play is changed to another one. It could be code for a specific player to employ a specific motion within the called play. It could be code for plays based on intonation or number of times "Omaha' is spoken. And using the same term can make opponents overhearing assuming they figured it out. When in fact they haven't because of the type of things I previously mentioned. They go into a coverage that creates a mismatch. So instead of foolishness, it could be a ruse to stymie opponents and enhance defeating them. You don't know. I don't know. Personally, I think it's a Native American word employed by an insurance company of questionable integrity. :hi:

Ummmm is Kaepernick headed to a night club to DJ or something...professional look or Florida Gator fan style sideways backwards hat with big headphones and jorts...keepin' it gangsta in the post game choke conference :eek:lol:

It takes more than a suit to show class. Kaepernick stood up there and took the blame for a loss like a man. That's class, no matter what you're wearing. Sherman was wearing an expensive suit, but he stood behind that mic with diarrhea of the mouth and made himself look like a fool. Why would you downgrade the single biggest achievement of your own career by saying you accomplished it against a mediocre receiver? Common sense must not be a class they teach at Stanford...

Agreed. It's an unfortunate reality of late that the officials seem to ignore half of the rulebook in the Super Bowl and call it like no other game in the NFL season. Why even have a rulebook if you're not going to follow it?

And it really seems most geared towards the secondary being allowed to rape the receiving corps without penalty.

I'd rather watch it on a big flat screen and give the $2700 to a good charity like a Pet Rescue (they do some really good work...and there are so many idiots out there abandoning their dogs if not mistreating them), or cancer treatment hospital for kids (like St. Jude)...cause when that bucket comes around, you'll have a lot more in your acct. than if you watched Peyton in a SB. :)

Well, you can certainly make a donation of $2700 to the Pet Rescue if that makes you feel better.

This guy wants to go see Manning in the Super Bowl. He doesn't need anyone telling he'd be better off by donating to charity.

I'm not knocking donating to charity but if the guy wants to spend his dough on the SB then he has that right.

We only know what he shows us. And every time he gets on camera, he acts like a classless thug. So what are we supposed to think, that he's a Tibetan Monk?

Truth.

I read Shermans "explanation" on MMQB. Assuming he actually writes his own articles, I'm surprised that someone so articulate with the written word can be so lacking in class when they open their mouth.

"Heat of the moment"? Hardly. He had plenty of time to calm down and unload the adrenaline by the post-game press conference, and he didn't let up one bit. No...what we saw with Erin Andrews, and then in the post-game presser was raw, unedited Richard Sherman. We saw the "real" Sherman.

Great athlete. Apparently has a very sharp mind. But last night, Richard Sherman fell out of the respect level of the Manning's and Bailey's...and landed somewhere south of Romanowski and T.O.

I won't take any unwarranted pleasure in watching him become mortal at some point in the near future; nor will I change the channel to avoid it.

Go Vols.

I hope they ignore that fat jerk Christie during the game - all the $$$$ those NY teams have, a retractable roof could have been installed when they built it, then they wouldve gotten alot more venues (Dallas, Detroit, Houston etc)

They are jerks and jerk posters. So funny.

Yep - that's what I want. The point I'm making is the weather shouldn't be a factor that potentially eliminates a team's strength. I would prefer the outcome be determined only by which team plays / game plans better.

If it's 15 degrees and the wind is blowing 30 MPH, that will have a huge effect on the game. Sure, it's cool to watch the games where teams have to deal with sever weather. I just prefer it's not a factor for the championship. Just my .02 :p

Sure wish Kapernick would take a hint from the other starting QB's and dress professionally. I may be mistaken, but I believe he is about the only one that doesn't wear a suit or at least a jacket to the interview. If you aren't going to wear a suit, at least take off the hat and headphones so you don't look like a 19 year old kid...

Really? You have less respect for him than a known steroid user who has frequently assaulted players on and off the field? Why? Because he boasted about making a play that won the game?

I disagree. It could make for am unwatchable game. I like the beautiful weather and the actual best team winning the contest. I am hoping for a disaster with the weather and this to never happen again.

Not this time, let's have Peyton have the very best of conditions and let the next time they play in a cold weather venue be the disaster.

Good point. "south of Romanowski" was a bit harsh. I stand corrected.

Fact is, that I don't follow the professional or personal lives of NFL athletes, no more so than what the media feeds me. I don't look there for my role models.

Richard Sherman's "island" is, in fact, very crowded. There are a host of current and former NFL players that have committed acts that make Sherman's rant pale in comparison. Romanowski included.

My point was, if I failed to make it properly, that there are NFL players who, by virtue of both the way they play the game, and the way they respect the game, are worthy of our respect. Certainly, Peyton Manning is an example of that. Sherman is not.

Sherman's behavior is neither unique, nor particularly egregious, given some of the idiocy we've seen from other NFL players. But last night he bungee-jumped...sans a cord...off of the pedestal that Seattle fans, Sherman fans, the NFL, ESPN, MMQB, and a host of other media sites had placed him on. It was ugly to watch.

Richard Sherman might be a nice guy. Last night, he was a complete ass, and I have a feeling that what we saw was Sherman without his "public mask" on.

If Michael Crabtree got to him that bad, just imagine what's going to happen when he starts getting torched by the next (if not current) generation of trash-talking NFL wideouts. What will he say then?

I think Sherman made more enemies last night than he realizes. And I think the NFL, in its' own way, will make him pay for those ill-uttered words.

Time will tell.

Yeah, I was going to bring up the Bayless thing too. Sherman runs his mouth, but at least he has reason to do so. Compare that to a loser like Bayless who just runs his mouth constantly, saying any inane thing that pops into his head to try to get a reaction. At least Sherman's mouthing off will only last as long as he can dominate (which for most in the NFL is a short window of time). Bayless has been doing his stupid schtick for decades with no end in sight.

They think every player is supposed to be like Peyton or Brady. Sometimes you need the loudmouths. Especially on D. Its called swagger. UT had it in the 90's, as did Miami.

The NFL should build its own stadium and host the super bowl every year in a great climate.. Vegas, The money, whores and overall weather.... Average in Feb is 63.

There is a difference in a Super Bowl and a northern team home field advantage. The home field advantage is earned so teams have to travel to some of these places in the playoffs. We see that in the playoffs but the Super Bowl outcome should be won by the best team on the field. Most of the teams in the league don't deal with Lambeau field weather (New Jersey in the heart of winter). Most fans don't want to sit in crappy weather to watch a game either. This is just a horrible idea.

Agreed. Then again, it's not the Seattle fans, or me, that should concern him. His income will not dip by a single dollar due to the fact that I don't care for his behavior. If anything, he will sell more jerseys now.

But I'll wager that every NFL QB and WR outside of Seattle have made it a point to approach any game against Seattle with the mindset that they will "expose Sherman". Eventually, his ego (and it's a huge one) will eclipse his skill.

Seattle fans won't "take him down a peg"...the NFL will. Sooner or later, we all get humbled. All Sherman has done is ensure that his will be rewarding to witness.

I'm done with him, and talking about him. Thanks for the response.
