How's Pittsburgh doing?

Not sure - I live in Toronto, but I'd guess the city is doing just fine. Steelers as well - unlike in New Orleans, where they sue over bad officiating, Steelers have come to expect it and move on. Also, city and Steelers comforted in knowing they are the league's class act and winningest franchise in the SuperBowl era, and while despised by some it's not because they are cheaters, it's because they are good.

No...he does not. The GOAT is the GOAT. He doesnt get benched. He doesnt play 2nd string. Twice.

FBI busts ex-cable company employee for hacking into 2009 Super Bowl broadcast with porn clip..

Just in time for another Super Bowl, the FBI and Arizona police may finally have a break in one of the most embarrassing cases of cable tampering on record.

Authorities said they believe a former cable employee, Arizona resident Frank Tanori Gonzalez was responsible for interrupting the 2009 Super Bowl on Comcast Cable in the Tucson area and broadcasting pornography for 37 seconds.

The humiliated cable company ended up giving its 80,000 Tucson-area subscribers a $10 credit on their bill -- which comes out to a whopping $800,000 for their woes.

Even worse for already scarred Arizona fans at the time, Pittsburgh clinched the victory, beating the Cardinals 27-23.


"These charges related to the 37-second X-rated pornography interruption of Comcast's Tucson 2009 Super Bowl broadcast and as a result of the alleged tampering to its servers, Comcast suffered significant economic losses," Attorney General Tom Horne said in announcing the arrest on Friday.

After the incident, Comcast told reporters it had boosted its security and left the FBI in charge of the investigation.

According to reports, Gonzalez was a Cox Cable employee at the time of the prank.

"As we suspected, the interruption of the 2009 Super Bowl in Tucson was an intentional, malicious act," Comcast Corporate Affairs Manager Kelle Maslyn told KOLD-TV. "After our internal investigation proved our technical and security systems were working properly, we turned our investigation over to the FBI. We appreciate the FBI's diligence in thoroughly investigating the programming interruption and determining what happened."

Brady would be in a wheelchair and crapping in a bag, if he played against the 1980's defenses like the Bears and Giants had.

Watch...I can play this game too.
"Brady would have won 14 straight Super Bowls with the scheme and talent Bill Walsh put around Joe Montana on the offensive line, backfield, and receiver corps"
 
Not feeling the SB yet this year, and figure I may not. I hate the Patriots and do not care enough about the Rams to cheer them on, not over even a team I hate with passion.

I may just end up writing and following along on my twitter feed...or something.

Me too, not very excited. I dislike the Patriots and always root against them, but I can't feel very enthusiastic about the Rams, especially given that their Super Bowl appearance feels illegitimate after the blown PI no-call against the Saints.

I fully know that there were no-calls that damaged the Rams too, such as face masks by the Saints that weren't called. I do believe that mistakes happen (refs are human beings who call a fast game without the benefit of slow motion) and usually these things, statistically, tend to even out - some mistakes are made favoring one team, some others are made favoring the other team. So, if the game had been called perfectly for the entire 60 minutes with no refereeing errors favoring either team, it's not guaranteed that the Saints would have won.

Still, even though I rationally know these hard facts above, I can't help the subjective part. It FEELS wrong that the Rams won the game. It's a psychological thing. Whatever ref mistakes were made against the Rams, the one that was made against the Saints was at the very end of the game and if called correctly, would have resulted in the Saints' ability to run down the clock to 4 seconds left, and win the game even if they didn't score in that drive.

So, rationally I guess mistakes happen and usually even out... but psychologically I still feel that the Rams are illegitimate Super Bowl contenders, therefore it is hard to root for them.

Before you start tossing around "premiere franchise" talk I suggest you both recall there were decades of NFL titles before there was a Super Bowl. The Bears, Packers and Giants (and maybe others) are in this discussion too.
 
Wouldn't it be great if the coaches had to wear player's uniforms like the MLB coaches. Yeah, you can thank me for that little chuckle later.

With rules protecting quarterbacks, there is no great D to destroy. I saw that bull**** penalty in the AFC title game. The guy barely touched Tommy Girl

LOL good one! :lol:

I'll admit I'll have mno one to hate anymore after that, since the Bears have upgraded their team to the point where I am now confident of their chances against Aaron Rodgers- who is getting old too.

But going back to your point, I think there's a stable of new QBs who might just be great. If Mahomes wins too many SBs and cheats, I might hate him too. If Trubisky keeps improving, then perhaps he might be elite in the future.
 
As if we didn't have enough reason to hate the Patriots.

Trump's Team

Liars and cheaters, like birds of a feather, flock together.

You know Calamity when you keep telling a lie over and over and over again, people will start believing that lie. The hatred against the Patriots are based on lies breathed into existence by petty anti-Patriots zealots.

"The Patriots win too much, the league should change the rules to allow other teams to win."

Other teams should change their approach and maybe they can challenge the Patriots.

1. Not vastly overpay for free agents - Dolphins, Giants, etc

2. Not act like winning a Super Bowl after going 7-8-1 - Browns

3. Not rewarding players for bad behavior - Steelers, Giants

Very true 2M - the Steelers were abysmal for their first 70 or so years of existence until Chuck Noll got them winning Super Bowls.
