The Official CE&HST Super Bowl Thread

[spookyturtle 9,465]

Now it is being said that only one of the 11 footballs was 2 psi under inflated and many of them were barely under the minimum. Odd that the one the Colts intercepted was the one that was 2 psi under. And also the suspect in the locker room is an elderly man who spent 98 seconds in the bathroom then took the bags of footballs to the field. And get this, the Patriots are the ones that found it on their surveillance system and turned it over to the NFL investigators.

Kudos to Belichick, Brady and the Patriots players for keeping their focus on the Seahawks and not letting this nonsense impair their performance in the Super Bowl. I can't wait for the official NFL report on this.

I read this too and just had to shake my head at the media being dishonest again. They are the ones that judged the Pats guilty before any investigation. We should be used to it by now at our ages.

I'd like to know who these inside sources were that were leaking all of that bogus information the day after the AFC championship game.Funny how ESPN backed off on this. It sure is sounding more and more like a smear campaign. Fifteen years of dominance in the league has made a lot of haters. What NE has done in the salary cap era is phenomenal. As a life long fan, I know we are nearing the end of an era here and I am glad that I have been able to enjoy it for all of these years.

Brady jumping up and down like a kid on the sideline after Butler's pick was a sight to see. This was the most important of the 4 Championships.

And I think it's too bad that JJ Watt didn't get the MVP award. He had a career year. They seem to favor QB's and players on offense.

The media goes for sound bites because that is what the people want and to be able to do a gotcha is the ultimate sound bite. It will be forgotten by the media in a week.

Lol. Brady looked deep in thought like he was trying to psyche himself to get a TD in a short time and in a seconds time he has a 4th ring. Loved it. He deserved it as he played against the best defense in the NFL and won. Great game.

Never expected Watt to win the MVP and was surprised he came in 2nd. He won the defensive player of the year of course. We are lucky to have him. Well worth that record contract to keep him.

Atypical for a Boston areas sports fan, most of them appear quite rabid on the surface.

Seattle was one of the worst teams in football when Carroll got there. I don't like the call, but he shouldn't have to make excuses. Most of his decisions have worked out.

I think Carroll is a good short term coach. I think he brings a healthy change in attitude to teams which are down and in turn helps them be better players and a better team. But after a while this type of boom boom rah rah, say what you want and be whoever you want to be philosophy grows old and wears off, especially when the team experiences failure or a bad stretch. Carroll's coaching style reminds me a bit of Rex Ryan when he went to the Jets, same type of hyped up trash talking attitude coaching style which was only successful for a few years. I think you're going to see Seattle go into a decline now. They will probably lose Marshawn Lynch to free agency along with a few other key players on defense and there are other players who will remain that are second guessing Carroll's play call decision. I think Carroll's coaching style is better suited for college kids.

No matter what, Pete Carroll will always be remembered as the man that lost the Superbowl. The fans are not forgiving, and I suspect the owners of the Seahawks are already looking for a replacement. If they are cool, they will bump him into the front office, to still keep him in the organization, but he will soon no longer be the face of the team.

How many rings does Brady have?
