Had they not whipped themselves into such a frenzy over a scandal that literally is based on nothing but basic science, they could have just enjoyed a great Super Bowl. I hated the shit out of Big Ben and the Steelers but I didn't run around screaming that they only won because Big Ben's penis gained sexual assault superpowers. I enjoyed a great goddamn game.
In sum, fuck you America, I'm a better fan than you.
Cris Carter was a member of those great Vikings dynasties during the 90s. He should be an expert. Seriously ESPN get fuckedEd Hillel said:How about the arrogance of Carter when he says "it's the players who decide his legacy," meaning that his opinion on the matter means more than most others'. Fuck that guy.

Dick Drago said:I don't know that I've seen a commentator so visibly angry on camera. He was chewing on his cheek.
What pisses me off...as others have said...Mortenson's original leaks have been accepted as fact; science and subsequent information have enlightened us. Yet I've been called a 'homer' who ignores evidence since it is my team.
Carter's silly argument was that it is easier to catch a 10.5 football than a 12.5. Even Dilfer's rebuttal was mostly 'everyone cheats'. That shouldn't be the conversation as we have all learned. Yet logic, science, and due process are swept under the rug; not just by jocks but otherwise reasonable, educated people.
I'm happy knowing Carter is going to spend his day being pissed off.
Anyway, I've lived in NY since 1990. This is a better argument to have than the ones back then.
Comfortably Lomb said:My Facebook feed is turning into a lot of bitching about Carroll's terrible call. It's so fucking great.
Average Reds said:
There is a certain amount of satisfaction that comes from this, but what angers me about the bitching is that it robs Butler of the glory of one of the greatest plays I have seen in a key moment.
That pass was wide open at the moment that Wilson threw it. And he made a good throw to the precise spot. The only problem was that Butler read the play, made an incredible break and beat the receiver to the spot.
The media should be focused on a game-winning play that was so spectacular the odds are they'll never see the likes of it again. Instead, they are wallowing in their hate for the Pats and disdain for Carroll.
In short, fuck 'em all.

johnmd20 said:The NY Post is really going overboard here. I realize they always go overboard about everything, but this is a major newspaper continuing to call the Patriots cheaters despite reams of scientific evidence to the contrary. It's irresponsible and despicable.
rodderick said:
No he didn't. You have to throw that a little low and right at the receiver's body. There's no way you lead the receiver there once you see the pick wasn't set up perfectly.

loshjott said:Steve Czaban (who's been on the white list from the beginning) and crew on Yahoo radio are killing the Seahawks. The DBs whining about OPI every play, the brawl, etc.
Also ridiculing all the deflategate stuff.
8slim said:
Nah, "despicable" is putting two random schmoes on the front page and erroneously claiming that they are the Boston Marathon bombers.
This is just sports, and pandering to knuckle-dragging NYers. And it doesn't crack the top 100 of despicable things the Post has printed. They are the most loathsome media outlet in the country.

They aren't as bad for any other team, even the Yankees. And I don't understand why Magary, who's a Vikings fan, hates them so much (because his "their fans are the worst!" stuff is nonsensical).
8slim said:
It's strange, right? The team that was looked upon to uphold the almighty Integrity(tm) of The Shield was the one who started a fight after they lost and then threw each other under the bus post-game. So strange.
I'll spare you the numerous "What the (expletive) was he thinking?" mutterings I overheard from people in Seahawks uniforms and refrain from lending any legitimacy to the conspiracy theory which one anonymous player was willing to broach: That Carroll somehow had a vested interest in making Wilson, rather than Lynch, the hero, and thus insisted on putting the ball in the quarterback's hands with an entire season on the line. "That's what it looked like," the unnamed player said, but I'd be willing to bet that he merely muttered it out of frustration, and that it was a fleeting thought.

Fair enough, I have to agree with that. The paper willfully ignores the truth to pound a story into the ground in hopes of firing up their NY base. That's so sad. It's not even funny or cute. It's just lousy. But not despicable.

It is great:grsharky7 said:Got about 3 hours sleep and was about to get up and go to work when I got the call we're on a two hr delay. Life is good!! Set the DVR to watch Jets fan Greenie moan about his team can't even get to the Super Bowl.
Edit: turned on the tv and they Seattle's radio call of the pick and it's delicious!! Almost on tears on the air just as good as you thought it'd be!!
