When you think “talk about The Big Game,” you think “Be miserable with a bunch of Big Ten fans.”
A Superb Owl occurs tonight. Here, if you so choose, is an open thread for said game.
Super Bowl LX
Seattle Seahawks (14-3) vs. New England Patriots (14-3)
5:30pm | NBC/Peacock | SEA -4.5 | O/U 45.5
MNW: Seattle, 28-17. Sam Darnold wins. Minnesota will be just fine, thank you, over here eating our paste.
WSR: I just hope both teams have fun.
BRT: Bad Bunny wins. He’s hot, he’s popular, he’s apparently a decent human. Bad Bunny by a million.
WSR: And it’s a real shame we have
such an anti-capitalistic system like the NFL. A salary cap? That’s not fair to Indianas or Texas Techs trying to buy a title.
Thumpasaurus: “NFL Fake” is a popular conspiracy theory I’ve seen floated around and while the NBA is certainly dealing with a crisis of legitimacy, I just think football is too intense to fake. There’s so much injury risk every play and you have to trust your teammates to not get you hurt. NFL has way more legitimacy than a fake & meaningless garbage sport like men’s college hoops, to whose fixers I owe some thanks for that Wagler 46 game but which I ultimately resent for gaslighting me in this increasingly artificial existence Americans find themselves navigating.
Anyway, patriots have more ‘22 Illini, but the Seahawks have the best of that team in Devon Witherspoon so I lean Seattle.
RU in VA: Sam Darnold is the only thing holding up the entire world from saying “Tommy Devito, Super Bowl Champion” at about 10:30 EST tonight.
I’m a 12 tonight.
Thump: As a Rutger, why would you not want the Jerseyest qb to ever play to have a ring?
RU in VA: He’s winning it for the enemy
Thump: THE AGENDA says Seahawks have more Big Ten players (8) in the starting lineup than the Pats (7)
While the Pats have a Big Ten punter in Bryce Baringer, the C-Hox have a former Penn State long snapper. Sam Darnold once traded Yoloballs with Trace McSorley for 5 hours so he counts.
Jesse Collins: I’ve decided the best outcome is whatever makes my divisional foes least happy which is 100% Darnold winning a championship, thus making the Jets sad, and the Pats losing, thus making the Pats sad. The Dolphins are already unhappy so they don’t count.
Because I’m a Bills fan, this means the Pats are winning in a very stupid affair. I’m preemptively sad.
BoilerUp89: Seahawks will win. The Pats defense is great but the offense isnt ready for prime time. They got here by a combination of easy schedule allowing them to win the division over a flawed Buffalo team and QB injuries on BAL, Houston, Cincinnati, and Denver. The Chiefs missing the playoffs also helped. The Seahawks are a more complete team and should win fairly easily.
Also, I will lose if there is any discussion at the family super bowl of watching the alternative trash halftime show because Ill be cutting ties with several family members.
misdreavus79: All I know is that Drake Maye better score the first touchdown of the game.
Well, there you have it. Nothing left to do but tell us what you’ll be making for eats and get the game over with. Oh, and bet on the important stuff.
Here’s your open thread for the day. Go Bad Bunny.
