Well, it was a weird game. I could care less who is champion. People were saying guns wre going off all over Baltimore.

I am really just Happy the Patriots are not the Champions and the NFC no longer has bragging rights.

I cannot believe Insomniac does not say anything about winning the league both times *crickets*

Not only that but you have the added bonus of knowing a lot of their fan base was rooting against the Ravens and now they are extra pissed :)

hahaha... Nah... I dislike Brady and Bellichick not the fans. The fans from the Boston area are fans because they live around there. I just think Bostantonians are bigger Baseball fans than football fans. Well Denver fans are football fans before baseball or any other sport. Just a difference in region.

Anyways, good for the Ravens fans.

Ok, it was what I expected, Ravens in a close one. I thought it was a good no call on 4th and goal too. I'm happy for John Harbaugh, Joe Flacco and Ed Reed. I'm glad the Niners made a game out of it, Kaepernick is the real deal man and he seems to have a bright future. I didn't watch any of the commercials or the half time show because I could give two shits about either and I like to keep my DVR's ffwd function in good shape.

Oh and did anyone hear Joe Flacco say, "It's fucking awesome" to his teammate loud and clear on national tv after the game?

Hah, yeah, that Flacco line killed me.  I thought they were supposed to have a delay for that kind of thing?  I hope no one makes a big deal out of it.

I was glad for Ray Rice, because that fumble almost killed them.  Ed Reed, too, since he's one of the best defensive players to ever put on pads.  I thought  Kaepernick had an excellent game, all things considered, especially for a rookie.  If he continues to improve then he's going to be a star.  He's got all the tools and I love how he never seems to get rattled.

it should be said that Denver put up a better fight then the 49ers during the playoffs. Regardless congratulations to Ray for an awesome career and going out on top.

Distance between DC and Baltimore is only 40 miles, life long Redskins fan but it was good to see the ravens win! Big ups to Jacoby Jones (lol Houston), Ed Reed and Joe Flacco, get yo money!

It was a really enjoyable game, minus the delay and the unintelligible half-time performance. I watched the CBS stream so I didn't get to see most of the new ads, though.

I kind of like both teams and I kind of hate both coaches so I really had no dog in this fight--except that I picked the Ravens to win the Super Bowl at the start of the year in my friend's annual prediction league. There was a lot of drama at the end, which was fun.

As for that play in the end zone, I agree with the no-call. The Raven's player was holding and the 49er's player was pushing off with his hand on the other guy's helmet. I don't see how you could have called a foul on one and not the other.


The ads for the most part where lame.  So why they hate for the Harbaugh brothers I'm curious.

Both of them are bullies and poor sports who spend a lot of time screaming at the refs.  I don't think it's coincidence that they've both had altercations with other coaches.  Did you see the Raven's coach yelling at the NFL official in the suit?  Very poor form.  Like the guy was going to go fix it himself.  They both remind me a lot of Bobby Knight.

now we can no longer make fun of Fllacco for not being elite.

Yes, the one and done Broncos, whose offense did nothing (Holliday!) did better in the playoffs than the 49ers who won 2 games and narrowly lost in the SB. Gotcha.

So did the nfl ever say what happened with that long power outage? It was going on so long I nearly fell asleep.

Yeah during the blackout that time would have been better spend keeping his players focused on the game at hand.  I don't think either of them are as bad as Bobby Knight who despite being a mad man still was a brillant coach.  I coaching you kinda have to have a fiery personality very few mellow coaches win championships.

That's where my husband is from, inbetween there. Ha... we moved back to Houston, my hometown. Texans I would've liked to win of course, but I don't think they're ready. I'm glad the Ravens finally did though... I used to call Flacco "Flakey" for the longest time... he shaped up after they got rid of Cameron.
