50th Super Bowl thread

[BtownBanner6]

Didn't see his post game interview. Had an issue with an unmarked white van in the neighborhood, and, being friends with quite a few Terre Haute Police officers, well......What did he do/say/act??

Just in watching sportscenter later I believe he just got up and left without answering anything.

Read up online. What a sore loser. If Peyton would've lost? Man, class act right there. Most of us are from Indiana so we know Peyton, and, well, younger players like Cam should take notes and not be little female puppy dogs....

I just think if you're going to stand up there all week an answer questions and talk about how no one has ever seen anyone like you, just loving that attention, then grow up answer questions for 3 minutes and excuse yourself. That's all it takes.

Yes sir. Superman my hind parts.

Maybe it was just being Von Miller's chew toy the whole night but Cam seemed to have no endurance in the game and seemed like he was winded by the second quarter

[TrueHoosier62]

Didn't have a dog in the fight, but like many people here, was happy to see Peyton win another SB. However, nothing made me happier that seeing the self-anointed one being tossed around like a rag doll. Indeed, one of life's simple pleasures is watching the face of an arrogant man, having the ever lovin' arrogance beat of him. 

[Alford Bailey]

I was always more of an Elway fan.

I hated Elway but man was he good.

Other than seeing Cam get bashed anyone else think that was a fairly boring game?

Yes.

If you love defense, (and I do), then it was a thing of beauty. Offensively, it was dull as dishwater.

I find a turnovers to be more exciting than TDs since they made so many rule changes to help the offense.

I loved the game.

And since no one mentioned the half time show....

 

Cold play, wasn't half bad. Not my generation's music, not my taste, but not half bad either. They seem to have decent musicians, good vocals.

 

Bruno Mars was too "samey" as my wife would say. He and his entourage, or "posse" could have been any number of other R&B or funk groups, many of which I've seen over the last 35 years. He's Michael Jackson, repackaged.

 

Speaking of Michael Jackson, Beyonce is said to have selected her wardrobe as a tribute to Michael. And from the waste up, I think she did just fine, including the Jacksonesque military style jacket. But watching her lumber across the hash-marks, field general to a platoon of equally brutish and surly looking dancers, I couldn't help but wonder if they might have given Denver a better game than Cam and company?

[Defenserocks28]

I agree that Cam talked wayyy too much.  But I'm honestly so tired of hearing about how much of a "class act" Manning is.  He TEABAGGED a female trainer while at Tennessee. Got his rectum on her face too.  If that had happened in 2016...  

 

Manning, while being examined by a female trainer, pulled down his shorts as she bent over behind him to examine his foot to determine why it was hurting,^[238] and she has claimed he then  sat on her face and proceeded to rub his anal area and testicles on her face until she pushed him up off of her...According to a court filing by the trainer's attorney, she reported Manning's actions to the Sexual Assault Crisis Center in Knoxville within hours...Despite Manning's denial, at least one eyewitness confirmed the trainer's account.^[240] In court documents filed by her attorney, the trainer also claimed that Manning later taunted her by re-enacting the incident on two occasions, called her a "bitch" when she attempted to give him a drug test, and threw a pen across the room that he was supposed to use to sign and date the drug test sample.^[239] The trainer later settled with the university for $300,000 for its alleged failure to properly handle the actions of Manning and others in various incidents, and she agreed to resign from the school.^[238]...   as a result of the "vulgar mouth" comment, the trainer was demoted from her job as Program Director at Florida Southern College.^[240] The trainer sued for defamation, resulting in an undisclosed settlement in 2003 and a court-ordered gag on Manning and the trainer ever talking about the settlement or each other again....In 2005, Manning was forced to re-settle again after violating the court's gag order by further discussing the incident and claiming she had taken advantage of him in an ESPN documentary special program about him.

Coldplay is kind of this generations's U2. Everyone hates them, but no one is really sure why when you call them on it. (I don't have a problem with either band, and really enjoy some of each of their work.)

yep. I actually like much of Coldplay's work and much of U2's as well. Coldplay is soft rock, pop rock. Many people are embarrassed if they like it because it's soft. Whatever. Not my favorite but I rather enjoy them.

I also think the NFL was coy in selecting Coldplay. They brought in Bruno and Beyoncé for the general America crowd. Coldplay was selected as part of the Euro movement of the NFL. Huge following there and increases exposure and viewership in Europe. Fairly well liked in America too. Smart marketing choice by the NFL, I think.

I personally thought the halftime extravaganza was a complete bust. It fell flat to most watchers.

TMI. T.M.I.

[Naturalhoosier]

I too thought Coldplay was to reach out to the international market for business expansion.

Beyoncé was too political for my tastes.

I'm not a 'fan' of Coldplay but it was clear that the lead singer was having a great time. That enhances the enjoyment factor (for me anyway) when it's evident the artist is having a great time and not just going through the motions.

Bruno. Eh. I like the song. I will dance to it at stores to embarrass the kids. Lol it's catchy. But he was just on a year or two ago.


It was a nice tribute to have all the past MVPs (those who could make it) recognized.

I thought it was fantastic!

Peyton's been in Denver for a few years now and he's plugged Budweiser twice. Someone from Coors may make sure this is his last game.  :D

Saw an article this morning, that he owns a couple of Budweiser distributorships.
