The last six Super Bowls:
42: Giants 17 - Patriots 14 -- touchdown with :35 left wins it after incredible Tyree catch.
43: Steelers 27 - Cardinals 23 -- touchdown with :35 wins it. Controversial Warner "fumble" negates Hail Mary chance with :15 left.
44: Saints 31 - Colts 17 -- largely believed to be known-rigged and Peyton Manning was notified of the dive.
45: Packers 31 - Steelers 25 -- Steelers fail on downs less than a minute to go.
46: Giants 21 - Patriots 17 -- Winning touchdown at :57 to play. Brady Hail Mary ball in the air at the gun.
47: Ravens 34 - 49ers 31 -- Stanford-Cal possibility at the gun, scripted from Ravens up 28-6 to ensure the game is in doubt to the last play.
So the only question now is about the power outage: Was that when the NFL reinforced the storyline, or stepped in to create a new one to get people to keep watching what was turning into the biggest blowout in years???
5 of the last 6 Super Bowls -- and, going back, 9 of the last 14 -- basically decided on the last play or the last relevant play within the final minute.
When are you people going to learn that you are being played like fiddles????

Super Farce XLVII -- Down to the Last Play
Who could not have seen THAT coming?
Baltimore leaves points on the field three times, as if they are designing for exactly what went down.
Not a Hail Mary this time, but a possible Stanford-Cal at the end goes awry, and the Ravens win it.
Good riddance to this football season.
The House ALWAYS Wins. Even at 28-6, they get the game to be decided on the last play!

Super Farce XLVII -- Super Facepalm
Now 31-29 Baltimore, and only because SF threw for the 2 and missed.
A Kaepernick scramble probably gets the 2.
This after Baltimore leaves another 4 points on the table, 4th-and-goal from the 1.
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING.

Super Farce XLVII -- More Comedy Bang For Your Buck
"That's the night when the lights went out in... New Orleans!"
Good grief.
KO return for 109 yards for a touchdown. Now should be well into the 30's...
And then the lights go out in the stadium!
The Superdome's power went out!!
28-6 -- should be 34-6 or 38-6. Game delayed early 2nd half.
UPDATE: Game has resumed. Police reported a gas smell in the Superdome.

Super Farce XLVII Anything But Super
Went out for a late lunch, could not avoid the game if I tried unless I holed myself up at home.
Already two blatant attempts to keep this game from getting completely out of control for Baltimore, who's kicking an inept 49er team's butts all over New Orleans:

- Baltimore, 2nd and 13 at the 37 of SF. Late 1st quarter. Flacco incomplete to Smith, who was held, illegal contacted, and interfered with on the play. Next play was a sack, might well have taken a field goal off the board, if not a TD.
- Baltimore, 4th and 10 at the 15 of SF, setting up for a late 2nd quarter field goal up 14-3. So why, then, do you direct-snap to the kicker and have him run to the short side of the field? Needed 10, got 9.

Super Fraud XLVII: Could Bigotry and Homophobia Decide the Outcome???
(EDIT: Surprised no one thought I was posting from the year 2033!)
Let's make no secret: The NFL is the homophobic of the major sports leagues.
It's not close.
Would I be shocked to someday learn of an NFL player murdered by his teammates because he came out?
No chance.
So two stories out of the San Francisco 49ers media make me wonder if the most accepting city of the LGBT community is actually housing a hypocritical bunch of twits who, because they fly the flag of "REAL MANHOOD!!", they might well get the benefit of the calls which we all know have decided the Super Bowls in the post-9/11 era, with the SWATS story being the last straw to take the Ray Lewis Thuggin' It Up Appreciation Tour and derail it.
Chris Culliver WOULD be suspended in the other three major sports (The NBA would do it immediately -- reference two teams who probably lost their chance at the championship the Mavericks eventually won by homophobic slurs -- Noah at the fans and Kobe at a referee!! The NHL would review it, but almost certainly suspend -- cross-reference the player who got suspended for making a blowjob gesture at another player. MLB? How bout that guy last year who put a homophobic slur on his eyeblack!!) if he made this ghetto piece-of-shit comment which he tried to back down from:
"No, we don't got no gay people on the team, they gotta get up out of here if they do. Can't be with that sweet stuff. Nah."
FUCK YOU.
You are the San Francisco 49ers, bitch.
Maybe this nine-year veteran of the streets of San Francisco needs to educate your small brain and your even smaller penis.
I hope that, in the unfortunate event you get a Super Bowl ring that the world-famous Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence protest your involvement in the upcoming parade, moron.
Get with the 19th century...
For the record, long-time San Francisco sports-talker Damon Bruce has actually called for the 49ers to cut his ass.
Or is that the norm in the NFL? It now appears that two members of the 49ers who performed in an anti-gay-bullying video (the only team in the NFL even to dare conduct such an act) glossed over their involvement, if not denied it entirely...
Ahmad Brooks: "This is America and if someone wants to be gay, they can be gay. It's their right. But I didn't make any video."
After being shown the video, Brooks again: "Oh, that. It was an anti-bullying video, not a gay (rights) video..."
It's both, idiot!
Isaac Sopoaga: “We didn’t know what we were recording was to help gay kids — we don’t want to do that.”
WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?
WHO
THE
FUCK
ARE
YOU??
The only way that the NFL doesn't have literally dozens of gay players, if you are anywhere near a cross-section of the country, is if they've already killed a few of them to scare the rest off, you sanctimonious fuck.
----------
And here's the sickest irony of the entire situation: Those stands might be the tipping point in the most political Super Bowl in history.
Between the drugs, the exploitation of the Newtown, CT shootings, and all this bullshit, one has to wonder if homophobia and bigotry might be the tipping point so that San Francisco gets that one rip-off call that you all know is coming...
When I started looking at this game two weeks ago, I was 100% that Baltimore was going to win.
Now, I'm a very uneasy call. My pick, as of the moment, is Baltimore in a low-scoring affair, 16-13.
But I no longer have any confidence in it.
