So Dean Blandino has said they never measured the pressure on the balls at the beginning of the AFC Title Game. So because of that....there is no DeflateGate so the NFL needs to apologize.

So Dean Blandino has said they never measured the pressure on the balls at the beginning of the AFC Title Game. So because of that....there is no DeflateGate so the NFL needs to apologize. No he said that he never logged the pressure. Not that he didn't measure it. That's SOP, to either approve or disapprove the inflation. That was all on the last page along with the burden of proof the NFL needs to supply. (sorry that came across snarky...didn't mean it that way. Just saying that all that info was discussed on the previous page just to keep from going over all the same stuff again that's all.) Neil DeGrasse Tyson admits he was wrong about DeflateGate and the Patriots Math. He admitted that he was incorrect on the 125 degree temperature that he discussed. He corrected himself and said for the math to be correct it would need to be 90 degree air instead as he used a wrong variable as it relates to the gauge. To quote him directly concerning his mistake "A delightfully moot point since neither temperature absolves the NE Patriots even as we all know that the NE Patriots, in their 45 to 7 victory over the Colts, would have won the game no matter the ball pressure," he wrote. "And, as far as I am concerned, the Patriots would have won that game even in the vacuum of space."

I thank Marshawn Lynch for showing just how useless a lot of sports media is Super Bowl Media Day is basically Idiot Hour. For every serious journalist, there's 30 goofballs and international buffoons trying to get players to talk to puppets. I don't blame him whatsoever. Also, I gotta ask... do any of your teams post Conference Finalist banners in their stadiums? I feel like the Colts are the only ones who do, and they'll add another one next season to the rafters. That's a strange thing to put a banner up for. Why would any team want to put up a banner that basically says "High level loser?" The only banners I'd put up would be for pre-Super Bowl NFL/AFL Championships (if your team is that old), Super Bowl Championships, Conference Championship, and Division Championships. I guess Wild Card berths, too. I think teams do that.

I've seen wild card banners a couple times but most teams it's just SB wins, Conference Champs and Division Champs. Can't think of any other team that does Conference runners up. Hell didn't even know the Colts did it.

Yeah, I've never heard about that in any sport ever before. Hearing about this conference runner up thing got me thinking of that Mr. 3000 movie. Near the end when the big "3rd place" chant starts in the clubhouse when they are trying to psych themselves up for the end of the year. Is that what you chant as that banner gets raised?

Katy Perry's glorious cans appear to have been deflated as well Since she and Zooey Deschanel were split like a UrSkek many years ago, when one gains the other must lose. Zooey is preggers, which means her cans are currently inflating, which unfortunately for Katy means her boobs are deflating.

Kinda neutral on the whole game...just want it to be good.
I do hope that Brady does manage to throw at least one touchdown pass. I mean his last Super Bowl TD pass as of right now was thrown to a guy on trial for murder. No one deserves to have that factoid on them.

Today in NFL History
1988 - Super Bowl XXII: Wash Redskins beat Denver Broncos, 42-10 in San Diego Super Bowl MVP: Doug Williams, Washington, QB
Super Bowl XXII was an American football game between the National Football Conference (NFC) champion Washington Redskins and American Football Conference (AFC) champion Denver Broncos to decide the National Football League (NFL) champion for the 1987 season. The Redskins defeated the Broncos by the score of 42–10, winning their second ever Super Bowl. The game was played on January 31, 1988 at Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego, California, the first time that the Super Bowl was played in that city.
This Super Bowl came at the end of a season that was shortened by a players' strike. Each team only missed one regular season game due to the labor dispute, but three games were played mostly with replacement players until the dispute was settled. The Broncos were making their second consecutive Super Bowl, and third overall appearance, after posting a 10–4–1 regular season record, largely through the strength of their quarterback, John Elway. This would be the last time that a team with a tie in their regular season record would play in a Super Bowl until the 2012 San Francisco 49ers played in Super Bowl XLVII with an 11–4–1 record.
The Redskins, who were making their fourth Super Bowl appearance after posting an 11–4 regular season record, were led by quarterback Doug Williams. After Williams entered the season as a backup, he was promoted to starter midway through the season and led Washington to two playoff victories. In games not started by Williams, the team was 11-2 (including a 3-0 record in games played by replacement players). Williams was 0-2 as a starter during the regular season.
After trailing 10–0 at the end of the first quarter of Super Bowl XXII, the Redskins scored 42 unanswered points, including a record-breaking 35 points in the second quarter, and setting several other Super Bowl records. Williams, who was named the Super Bowl MVP, completed 18 of 29 passes for a Super Bowl record 340 yards and four touchdowns, with one interception. He also became the first player in Super Bowl history to pass for four touchdowns in a single quarter, and four in a half. Williams was the first African American starting quarterback to win a Super Bowl. The 10-point deficit remains the largest deficit overcome by a Super Bowl victor.
1993 - Super Bowl XXVII: Dallas Cowboys beat Buffalo Bills, 52-17 in Pasadena Super Bowl MVP: Troy Aikman, Dallas, QB
Super Bowl XXVII was an American football game between the American Football Conference (AFC) champion Buffalo Bills and the National Football Conference (NFC) champion Dallas Cowboys to decide the National Football League (NFL) champion for the 1992 season. The Cowboys defeated the Bills by the score of 52–17, winning their third Super Bowl in team history, and their first one in fifteen years. The Bills became the first team to lose three consecutive Super Bowls, and just the second team to play in three straight (the Miami Dolphins played in Super Bowls VI-VIII, winning VII and VIII). The game was played on January 31, 1993 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, the seventh and most recent Super Bowl that the Greater Los Angeles Area has hosted.
The Bills advanced to their third consecutive Super Bowl after posting an 11–5 regular season record, but entered the playoffs as a wild card after losing tiebreakers. The Cowboys were making their sixth Super Bowl appearance after posting a 13–3 regular season record. It was the first time that the two franchises had played each other since 1984.
Dallas forced a Super Bowl record nine turnovers—four interceptions and five lost fumbles—en route to their win over Buffalo. Thirty-five of the Cowboys' points came off of those turnovers, including three first half touchdowns. Bills backup quarterback Frank Reich, who replaced injured starter Jim Kelly in the second quarter, threw a 40-yard touchdown on the final play of the third quarter to cut the lead to 31–17, but Dallas scored three more touchdowns in the fourth quarter. In the game's most memorable play, another Cowboys touchdown could have been scored on defensive lineman Leon Lett's fumble return, but he was stripped of the ball by Buffalo wide receiver Don Beebe as Lett started to showboat just before crossing the Buffalo goal line, and the football rolled into the Buffalo endzone and out of bounds for a touchback. Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman was named Super Bowl MVP, completing 22 of 30 passes for 273 yards and four touchdowns for a passer rating of 140.6, while also rushing for 28 yards.
Michael Jackson performed during the entire halftime show, starting the NFL's trend of signing top acts to appear during the Super Bowl to attract more viewers and interest.
Super Bowl XXXIII
Super Bowl XXXIII was an American football game between the American Football Conference (AFC) champion Denver Broncos and the National Football Conference (NFC) champion Atlanta Falcons to decide the National Football League (NFL) champion for the 1998 season. The Broncos defeated the Falcons by the score of 34–19, winning their second consecutive Super Bowl. The game was played on January 31, 1999 at Pro Player Stadium in Miami, Florida.
The defending Super Bowl champion Broncos entered the game with an AFC-best 14–2 regular season record. The Falcons, under former Denver head coach Dan Reeves, were making their first Super Bowl appearance after also posting a 14–2 regular season record.
Aided by quarterback John Elway's 80-yard touchdown pass to receiver Rod Smith, Denver scored 17 consecutive points to build a 17–3 lead in the 2nd quarter from which Atlanta could not recover. At 38 years old, Elway became the oldest player ever to be named Super Bowl MVP. In the final game of his career, he completed 18 of 29 passes for 336 yards with one touchdown and one interception, and also scored a 3-yard rushing touchdown. Elway retired on May 2, 1999 before the following season.

That's a strange thing to put a banner up for. Why would any team want to put up a banner that basically says "High level loser?" The only banners I'd put up would be for pre-Super Bowl NFL/AFL Championships (if your team is that old), Super Bowl Championships, Conference Championship, and Division Championships. I guess Wild Card berths, too. I think teams do that. Yeah think it just depends on the franchise. I've seen wild card banners a couple times but most teams it's just SB wins, Conference Champs and Division Champs. Can't think of any other team that does Conference runners up. Hell didn't even know the Colts did it. Yeah, I'm sure the Colts started doing it after the 1996 playoffs where they lost to Pittsburgh and I think it was because, at the time, it was probably as good as it was gonna get for the team. Dunno why after two Super Bowl visits (one World Champions, the other AFC Champions), they still feel like putting them up.
