Oh yeah, almost forgot: Seahawks 22, Broncos 17

[Loaded Liberal Dem]

You know, it's probably arrogant for a newb to be starting football threads on a primarily-political website, but, on this Super Bowl Sunday, the Old Milwaukee disagrees! (belch)

And yes, those 22 points for Seattle mean exactly what you think they mean: Manning will be sacked in the endzone.

1. You are nuts about the safety.

I have no idea how the game will go.
Head says Seattle. Heart says Broncos.
Go Broncos!

[Loaded Liberal Dem]

2. Can grits be purchased in a grocery store?

I mean, if I were to go to the nearest A&P and ask to be directed to where the grits are, would the staff be able to accommodate me? (I'm embarrassed to say I've always thought that "grits" were basically leftovers which people in the South cobbled together and made a meal out of.)

4. Google is your friend. nt

5. Look in the oatmeal department

Grits is coarsely-ground hominy meal. White cornmeal will do if that's all you can get.

9. Stay away from the magic grits

[cherokeeprogressive]

13. FIRST play from scrimmage! n/t

[Brother Buzz]

19. Ouch!

[Fawke Em]

3. They're not beating Peyton.

Ring No. 2 for my alma mater's former QB.

6. So says Johnny Unitas. Heh.

P.S. I was born on Guy Fawkes' Day. Catholic, too!

[jmowreader]

7. They're beating Peyton's shitty defense

The team that's good on both sides of the football (Seattle) beats the one that's good only on offense (Denver).

Seattle by 17 - two TDs with extra-point and one safety.

8. The Broncos have the 8th best run defense.

The Seahawks have the 7th.
Seattle depends on the run much more than Denver. Russell Wilson has made enough plays to win in the last few games. If he can't sustain that now and Lynch is limited, it will not be a 17point edge.

Each team has problems.

27. The Seahawks look like they are playing an entirely different game than everybody else.

They have all season.

[onethatcares]

10. hawks by 2

not by 4.

[Loaded Liberal Dem]

12. I don't have 'em by 4, either

22-17

[onethatcares]

23. didn't think that was gonna be the

first half score though.

now, back to the game.

[dogknob]

11. I should care because my taxes support the NFL, but...

...all I care about is seeing the NFL's tax-exempt status revoked.

[pintobean]

14. Wow. Safety on the 1st play.

[suffragette]

18. What a start!

[pintobean]

20. OP is an obvious time traveler.

Should have mentioned that and noted the spoiler alert.

[suffragette]

21. Cue Rod Serling

Works for me

[Loaded Liberal Dem]

24. Did I mention that Hillary will carry 43 states in '16?

[pintobean]

31. Looks like we're going to need

a lot more states if you're going to be consistent.

[Loaded Liberal Dem]

32. Have you SEEN the GOP "contenders"???

With Christie gone (which he is), and Jeb's mom not letting him to come out to play, the Republicants will nominate a total nutfuck who can only win Mississippi, Kansas, Oklahoma, Utah, Indiana, South Carolina and Alaska.

[madinmaryland]

15. K&R for a SAFETY on the FIRST play of the game!! Un-FUCKING-believable.

[Loaded Liberal Dem]

33. Funny thing is, I missed that play!

I kept clicking in and out of the opening ceremonies, wanting only to see the actual game, and finally caught it three-and-a-half minutes in.

[sad-cafe]

16. well, he wasn't sacked, but it is a safety

LOVE IT

[warrior1]

17. Hawks.

[Aerows]

26. Go Seahawks! n/t

[ohheckyeah]

28. LOL

As soon as my husband told me about the safety, I thought of this OP.

Well done!

[LiberalArkie]

29. I hate it when they interrupt the commercials all the time.

[Initech]

30. Manning looked like a deer in car headlights after that snap.

And hasn't done anything since.

[Wounded Bear]

34. Well...
