I... don't think this is a big deal.
Is it dishonest? Sure, but there's no real harm being done if a YouTuber lies and hypes up the Xbox One. I think it'd be nice if more YouTubers were like boogie and said up front when a game came in for free, but this isn't that big of a deal if I'm understanding it right.

im willing to bet the Cardinals because they were so close to the playoffs. I'd cross off the jaguars and giants because a) the jaguars are the jaguars, and b) I doubt Tom Coughlin would want any part of that Eh, I don't know; the Jaguars seem to be doing a lot to get their name out there. I have something of a soft spot for the Jags, so I'd like to see them get the show.

Not sure what time this went up but this video appeared on the Officialbeatsbydrdre Youtube page yesterday. I believe I saw that during the game way before the post-game interview happened. Pound for pound, I think the Kaepernick one is a better commercial.

And now for your distinct pleasure, FAN, the result of what happens when I get bored.
I present to you: "AFC Champions", in the style of Queen
*clears throat*
We beat the Chiefs
the Titans, too
we beat the Ravens
it was long overdue
we lined them up
we took them down
and now we stand atop the world Super Bowl bound
AFC Champions, my friends
and we'll beat the Seahawks in the end
AFC Champions
AFC Champions!
No time for Chargers 'cause we are the champions
AFC
Peyton Manning
and the receiving core
smashed all of the records previously held by others
now there's no more
There's no more for Tom Brady
or Bill Belichick
now they have to watch the Super Bowl from home and just recollect
AFC Champions, my friends
and we'll beat the Seahawks in the end
AFC Champions
AFC Champions!
No time for Chargers 'cause we are the champions
AFC Champions, my friends
and we'll beat the Seahawks in the end
AFC Champions
AFC Champions!
No time for Chargers 'cause we are the champions

This was one of my favorite moments from yesterday's game. You can just see on his face that he's soaking it all in, and after everything he's been through with his injuries, I'm sure it felt surreal for him to be in that moment.

As much as people seemingly want it on the Twitterverse, I don't foresee a fine in Sherman's future. If his speech was laced in profanity or he mocked Bowman or something, maybe, but what he said was incredibly innocent and rooted in passion.
If he gets fined, that's seriously f***ed up.

GUYS, WE'RE MISSING THE BIG PICTURE HERE.
Unless I'm wrong, this is the first time that two teams that were once in the same division will be facing each other in the big one.
That's pretty f***ing awesome.

I saw it somewhere else and it's absolutely true; the same people dogging Sherman are probably the same people who complain that Goodell is making the game too soft. He's a passionate competitor and he spoke his mind. Get over it.

Please check my edit; I'm not saying that literally nobody on the face of the Earth believes the Broncos can do it, and I realize that might be how I'm coming across. However, the mindset that Denver hasn't been questioned and everybody says that they're going to blow out their opponents is equally as ridiculous. Perfectly sane; just passionate. Like I said, I started watching in '05, so my Bronco watching years started with disappointment and it's been disappointment for years and years. I'm just ridiculously excited, brother. It's understandable to a point. But theres no group of analysts or others who think Denver doesn't stand a chance. I don't think they do, and as a Pats fan I also said Denver would win today. I could play the easy game and say "OMG A CLOSE ONE" but it's just the way I feel. BTW, 9 years of disapointment is laughable. As a Boston fan who started watching sports in 1987 I had a good 15 years of loserville hell before any wins. Fair enough. All I'm saying is people will come up with reasons why Denver won't win, just like people will come up with reasons why Seattle won't win. That's all. I'm not up for comparing who's suffered more as a fan, either. The Broncos have sucked until the past few years and this one feels good right now.

These past pages have been filled with reasons why Denver won't win. My opinion on this subject is very firmly rooted in reality. No they haven't. Just went pack the last 4 pages, not one person outside myself suggested that Seattle would win. Some people said they'd like Seattle to win, but that's certainly not the same as giving reason why they would. Again, you need to come back to reality. I've occasionally worried about your sanity the last few weeks. Please check my edit; I'm not saying that literally nobody on the face of the Earth believes the Broncos can do it, and I realize that might be how I'm coming across.

Teams don't get to pick their schedule, so the whole "yeah, but, they were never TRULY tested!" argument does nothing for me. We have the two number 1 seeds in football in the Super Bowl; Denver's just as deserving as Seattle, people. That had nothing to do with being "truly tested". People keep saying that Seattle's offense looked bad, and you have to remember that they played a good defense and then a great one. That's all I was saying. Oh, I get it. That wasn't directed at you or anything, I just meant I'm against that mindset as a whole, no matter what team it is.

15 wins total, no matter who they're against, is impressive. Moreno's X-ray came back negative so he should be good, and I think Peyton and this receiving core matches up very well with the Legion of Boom. I'm not saying it'll be easy, but I think we have more of a chance than you realize. This isn't a team of chumps who're getting led to the slaughter, this is the best Bronco team there's been since the late 90's and it's the reason we're in the Super Bowl. Seattle's offense has been trash lately outside of Beast Mode, so we match up very well on both sides of the ball. I'm not expecting Manning to throw for 400 yards like he did today, but you're not giving Denver enough credit and you're giving Seattle way too much. Kaepernick did okay against the LoB, so I'm sure Peyton will be fine. I'm sure the media will come up with a million reasons why the Broncos will lose, but nothing can ruin my mood right now. I've never gotten to see this Bronco team in the Super Bowl (I was 6 last time they went) so I'm excited as all hell. No, the media will find a million reasons why Manning will win. You have a very jaded, biased opinion of how Denver is portrayed by the fans and media. It just has no basis in reality. Again, Denver hasn't been setting the world on fire offensively, and this is the weakest defense the Seahawks have faced since the Giants in early December. Denver hasn't faced great defense, the best they went up against this year was the fraudulent Kansas City defense. This is a beast they haven't touched all season. These past pages have been filled with reasons why Denver won't win. My opinion on this subject is very firmly rooted in reality. EDIT - That's not a "woe is Denver; nobody believes in us!" thing either. That's not what I'm saying, but to deny that people are discrediting what Denver can do is just silly. It absolutely exists, but I'm not saying that the team is worthy of pity. That might be how it's coming across, but I'm just pointing out that it exists and it has all throughout the postseason.

It's important to remember that the gap between the defenses Seattle has played, and the one's that Denver has played, spans most of the known universe. Also, yes, NO's defense was pretty good this year. Surprising but true. Teams don't get to pick their schedule, so the whole "yeah, but, they were never TRULY tested!" argument does nothing for me. We have the two number 1 seeds in football in the Super Bowl; Denver's just as deserving as Seattle, people.

So where are people getting this idea that Peyton would retire if he won it all? Dude should most likely break Favre's all time passing record next year. Dude isn't going anywhere, yet. Yeah, I agree. I think somebody here said it, or maybe I read it on the Broncos sub-reddit, but Peyton didn't have all of the reconstructive surgery and completely relearn how to throw a football to come back for a couple seasons. Win or lose, I think Peyton has 3 more years left in him.

I fully expect them to put DeMaryius Thomas on Sherman, which frees up our 53 tight ends, Welker, and Decker to catch it deep down field; never mind the fact that Moreno is a threat in the passing game, as well. I'm not saying we're going to win for sure, but I'm very confident that the Broncos can pull this one off. If our run defense hadn't looked so good lately I might feel different, but I feel we match up very well with them. Yeah problem is the entire defensive backfield is pretty decent at worst. Denver certainly hasn't been lighting it up the way they did earlier this season. Reeks of Pats 2007, and they're finally going up against a legit bad ass defense and they're likely to get their clocks cleaned. Denver put up some gaudy numbers this year against the #28, #29(twice), #30, #24, #18,#17 defenses, but averaged 26 PPG against the rest of the league this season. They haven't played a top 4 defense all season. They're 3-2 aganst top 10 defenses. They're going up against a beast they haven't even dreamed of encountering this season. The defense is mediocre to bad. Moreno is banged up they're going to have to throw, throw throw into that scary secondary while Manning has a gang if ruthless a-holes in his face all game. 15 wins total, no matter who they're against, is impressive. Moreno's X-ray came back negative so he should be good, and I think Peyton and this receiving core matches up very well with the Legion of Boom. I'm not saying it'll be easy, but I think we have more of a chance than you realize.

I think Seattle beats the piss out of Denver. The Broncos haven't exactly been offensive world beaters when playing against legit professional football teams. Certainly not on the same scale of earlier this season. I can't say they'll have difficulty scoring, but it's hard to imagine they'll be lighting the scoreboard up to the tune of 30+ against the best defense in football. Seattle is going to pound and pound and pound. I think Denver eventually collapses and Seattle wins this one going away. Denver, nor Seattle, is going to get the piss beat out of them. These teams are two good for this game to be a blowout, so I don't see that at all. This Denver team is really good and they're in the Super Bowl for a reason. I saw no reason, after watching the NFC game, to believe that Seattle's going to come out and make us look like complete bitches. Does that mean they won't win? No, but to think either team is going to blow the other out is silly. Not these teams. EDIT: I have to hate Sherman leading up to and through the Super Bowl, but I love that cocky son of a bitch. If he couldn't back it up I'd feel different, but he can and does.

Deion on NFLN just smacked Sherman for showing up an opponent. Of all the people to say that Oh, my God I thought the same exact thing after he said that. I think I understood what he meant, in not making it public, but a guy with the nickname of f***ing Prime Time whose trademark was taunting when he brought back a pick is not the guy to criticize others for taunting.
