I don't know if this is the right place for it, but it occurs to me that Dolphins fans have to feel worse than any other fan base right now.

The Dolphins had the inside track on Drew Brees and ended up with Daunte Culpepper.

The Dolphins had the inside track on Mike Tomlin and ended up with Cam Cameron.

I mean, the Super Bowl has basically become a showcase of players and coaches that the Dolphins passed on.

Sucks for a proud franchise.

Yes, we suck. We also went from a horrible owner to another horrible owner(s). Not much hope for us. We'll probably pass up on McNabb or Palmer (if available), and probably sign Ryan Leaf.

jbergey22 · 01-25-2011, 12:44 PM

I think this will be one of the best Super Bowls we have seen in awhile. Both teams have good QBs, good defenses, and good coaching. I could see this one ending in 3 points either way.

So the Packers aren't going to have the players on IR be in the teams Super Bowl photo. I think that's messed up.

ID guess not. I think its an unwritten rule to not allow that game to even go into OT.

That's been fixed now - GB beat writer reported bout half hour ago that they will be taking the photo on Friday now to include them.

I can see why the IR players would want to be in it (of course they deserve to be) but it was quite an overblown story.

JediKooter · 01-26-2011, 01:28 PM

That's cool, nice to see they resolved it. I read somewhere today that players on the IR are usually included in the picture, so that's why I thought it was messed up.

The reason they weren't going to do it was because there was some fear that because there were so many people on IR (15) and because the IR guys weren't subject to team rules like curfew and such.. they didn't want that many potentially running around for 4 days causing a distraction to the active guys.

Of course, then they get this 'distraction'.

JediKooter · 01-26-2011, 02:49 PM

That's a boat load of people on the IR. Makes the Packers Super Bowl run even more remarkable in my opinion. Haha, exactly, let's get rid of one distraction by creating another distraction.

And won on a last second ridiculous throw-and-catch from Big Ben to Mike Wallace. Hoping the game is just as good with an opposite result this year - although with how well both defenses have been of late, that would surprise me.

cartman · 01-30-2011, 07:47 PM

Since the Pro Bowl now kicks off Super Bowl week, I have one question:

Did Charlie Sheen host a party for the entire AFC team last night? It is 42-6 NFC and it isn't even halftime yet.

Both teams aren't even in the same ballpark defensively as they were last year. Thankfully the Packers won't have Josh Bell and Bush in the secondary.

No Steelers, so the AFC roster is that bad.

Swaggs · 01-30-2011, 08:27 PM

AFC would win with Roethlisberger.

Rodgers would have had no impact on this game.

I was at Marshall's yesterday, and saw a hat that said "AFC Playoffs" on it. No team mentioned, no year, no specific round -- just AFC Playoffs. Seemed weird.

EagleFan · 01-30-2011, 10:55 PM

I guess we can see that the Packers are going to win next week. They obviously had to play against better competition to get there, not that crap the AFC has...

A farce? Didn't you see the effort on that last AFC touchdown? Well, by the center at least...

Sorry, but why on earth were they calling timeouts prior to that? Just let the game end and be done with it...

This is why the two weeks between the conference championships and the Super Bowl are terrible

Packers, Steelers, Roger Goodell in spotlight as Super Bowl nears - Peter King - SI.com

Quote:

"The one thing I take a little bit of issue with is when guys tell me they're being screwed,'' Goodell said. "[Most often] they're not recognizing they have a role in it.'' Regarding Roethlisberger, Goodell said when he was investigating what to do with the quarterback, he talked to "I bet two dozen players ... Not one, not a single player, went to his defense. It wasn't personal in a sense, but all kinds of stories like, 'He won't sign my jersey.' ''

Clarification: Roger Goodell on Ben Roethlisberger sanction - Super Bowl XLV - SI.com

Quote:

In a Jan. 7 interview for a larger profile on Goodell for this week's issue of Sports Illustrated, Goodell was talking about his deliberations for the Roethlisberger sanctions last year, when the Pittsburgh quarterback was accused of sexual misconduct in connection with an incident at a Georgia bar. Goodell said when he was investigating what to do with Roethlisberger, he talked to "I bet two dozen players ... Not one, not a single player, went to his defense. It wasn't personal in a sense, but all kinds of stories like, 'He won't sign my jersey.' ''
I inserted the word "Steelers'' in parentheses, though Goodell had not told me specifically he meant to refer to two dozen Steelers players.
My question prior to his answer referred to the "many people I know in Pittsburgh'' who "want him on the Steelers.'' I thought Goodell was referring to speaking with two dozen Steelers. He clarified late Monday that he was not referring to the Steelers specifically.
I regret the error.

Butter · 02-01-2011, 07:37 AM

I disagree. I don't think I'll ever hear enough stories about what a douche Roethlisberger is.

They help take away the pain.

Suburban Rhythm · 02-01-2011, 07:40 AM

The "clarification" is just so asinine.

So, during the deliberations of if/how long to suspend Roethlisberger, Goodell thought it was a good idea to to consult players from other teams?

"Mr. Lewis...yes, it's the commissioner. Have any thoughts on how long to suspend Mr. Roethlisberger? 16 games...ok thanks....can you pass the phone to Mr. Reed, please?"

I don't remember this happening with Pacman, etc. I am sure Ben would have loved to been consulted on what to do with Favre.

albionmoonlight · 02-01-2011, 08:14 AM

My twitter feed is mostly national NFL writers. This morning, all they can talk about is how cold it is in Dallas.

Two thoughts:

(1) Of course it's cold, idiots. The Super Bowl should be rotated between Miami, New Orleans, and San Diego for all time. That's a no-brainer. You should not plan a logistically enormous event during February in a city likely to get cold. Just like you should not, e.g., plan such an event during hurricane season and put it in Miami or New Orleans.

Put the SB in Miami, San Diego, and New Orleans. Period.

(2) All that said, complaining about the weather when you are at Super Bowl media day seems a bit misplaced. Focus on how awesome it is that you are at the Super Bowl.

Logan · 02-01-2011, 08:31 AM

Why does it matter if it's cold at the Super Bowl? Seriously.

bhlloy · 02-01-2011, 08:43 AM

Seriously. I love that football is a game for REAL MEN and we can rip on a team for not wanting to kill it's fans or play in front of 150 people when there's a blizzard outside... except for the Super Bowl, where everybody has a tantrum if it's played in less than 70 degrees and perfect sunshine.

albionmoonlight · 02-01-2011, 08:49 AM

The Super Bowl is way more than a game. It is a week-long party/logistical nightmare. It seems prudent to avoid areas where ice storms and/or blizzards are possible.

I understand the arguments for letting it go across the country--it is a great bribe to help encourage public financing of new stadiums. But those arguments do not overcome the simple fact that week-long parties in February are better held in San Diego, Miami, and New Orleans.

albionmoonlight · 02-01-2011, 08:50 AM

dola:

This isn't a pro-Southern thing generally. If the Super Bowl were held in late August, and people wanted to play it in Miami on the theory that "there might not be a hurricane," I'd think that that was just as bad of an idea.

stevew · 02-01-2011, 10:12 AM

I don't like the idea of playing games in pristine conditions for the Super Bowl. So a bunch of whiny writers/reports are complaining about the cold weather. Boo hoo. Go follow baseball.

Teams have to play in terrential downpours, whiteouts, muddy slop fields, etc. to get to the Super Bowl. It gives the game character. I guess the idea is to play in perfect conditions for a "better game" but it gives faster spread teams an advantage. Poor conditions would give certain other teams an advantage, but at least it would be semi-random.

I guess I'm just not on board with the "more points equals more excitement" bandwagon. I enjoy a good, old-fashioned 9-7 final score game just as much as 27-31, for example.

I guess the idea is to play in perfect conditions for a "better game" but it gives faster spread teams an advantage. Poor conditions would give certain other teams an advantage, but at least it would be semi-random. I guess I'm just not on board with the "more points equals more excitement" bandwagon. I enjoy a good, old-fashioned 9-7 final score game just as much as 27-31, for example. [/rant]
