Guest EXPAT Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Since the largest TV event in history is predicted this Sunday on NBC. I thought I'd find out what the readers of MER think about who they think will win The Superbowl 2012. TV watchers/reviewers believe this matchup may create the biggest TV audience in history this Sunday. It doesn't hurt that Madonna is performing the half-time show whether you like her or not, the curiosity factor will drive viewers. Quote
Members MsGuy Posted February 1, 2012 Members Posted February 1, 2012 I find voting on sports polls after the event improves my accuracy enormously, so see yall Sunday night with my prediction. Quote

Members JKane Posted February 3, 2012 Members Posted February 3, 2012 None of those things quite do it for me, but will be going to a gathering of mundanes on Sunday anyway, mostly for the social aspects. Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 I don't know anything about football but I find Brady cute. I don't understand the game at all. I might just read a book on Sunday. Quote
Members JKane Posted February 4, 2012 Members Posted February 4, 2012 Yep, 35 and sat through probably nearing a hundred games and still don't understand wtf a 'down' is... Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Yep, 35 and sat through probably nearing a hundred games and still don't understand wtf a 'down' is... And you would have made a great football player. I think any player would have been afraid of you coming at them. . . Quote
Members JKane Posted February 4, 2012 Members Posted February 4, 2012 Believe me, coaches tried, football and basketball (that'd have been scary to see!) but I was far happier with the video crew cablecasting the games! Now my height seems pretty average and I routinely run into people taller than I am--which feels really weird, people *aren't* taller than me! Damn kids today with their HGH and great nutrition!

Guest EXPAT Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 And the GIANTS win 21 - 17 Tom Brady just can't hold it together when he's under pressure. Unbelievable game. Good game. Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/sports_blog/super_bowl/ LA Times coverage of the SuperBowl. Probably the biggest audience in Super Bowl history. Quote
Members MsGuy Posted February 6, 2012 Members Posted February 6, 2012 I see my vote put the Giants over the top of the MER superbowl poll, which speaks well of the collective sports smarts here. We out- predicted Vegas. Quote
Members KYTOP Posted February 6, 2012 Members Posted February 6, 2012 I had voted for the Giants purely due to Eli Manning. I think he and his brother are 2 of the NFL's greatest players. Glad he proved me right beating the Patriots. Quote
