I'm not saying the homefield advantage isn't dumb, it is
But at least it gives something to play for
Pro Bowl, they get a bonus and a Hawaii trip, whoopee, they don't need to actually work during the game, they can just BS their way through the 60 minutes, it doesn't matter
At least the All Star Game matters for the World Series, dumb as it is
But since everyone is picking the Giants I guess we're in for a long day. After all, although they scored fewer points, gave up more points, turned the ball over more, took the ball away less, were outscored by their opponents and won 4 fewer regular season games than the Patriots, they absolutely destroyed the 49ers by tricking them into overtime so their backup punt returner could fumble the ball deep in his own territory. That's fucking momentum.
And sure even without that edge, their confidence would have to be high given the match ups at Quarterback and Head Coach. I mean yeah Tom Brady threw for the second most yards in NFL history but his 39/12 TD-INT ratio is 3 times worse than his unanimous MVP season in 2010 and he didn't even win one of his three Super Bowls that year. Compare that to Eli Manning, who is so good that many people didn't laugh when he compared himself to Brady before the season and whose statistics put him comfortably close to being a top 5 active QB if we only look at his stats this year. And while Belichick has been getting complacent, people were calling for Coughlin's head this and every other season, giving him that cornered animal whose face is suffering frost bite constantly and is becoming dehydrated due to chronic nasal drip feel.
All that matters is the best way to prepare for a Super Bowl is to spend two weeks with 2/3rds of bettors and 80% of the media assuring you that you are going to win it.

If the winners actually got something
I mean, hell, at least you get homefield advantage in the MLB All Star Game
Steam
home field based on the all star game is the dumbest fucking thing ever ever ever.
Pro Bowlers get a bonus money wise (on top of if they have that incentive in their contract, if thats possible) and get to go to Hawaii for a week.
I like it that way because at least it's determined by an actual game of some sort
But at least it gives something to play for

Get hurting going all out playing a meaningless game and risk the next season?
well, "meaningless". The winners get 50k. That's peanuts for someone in the NFL.
This is the wrong opinion and you are wrong for expressing it.
Blonde Danny Devito is freaking me out.
see you all on the other side
The halftime show with Madonna and Nicki Minaj will be the best thing about this Super Bowl
It claimed this the instant it was announced
Steam
Puppy Bowl is where it is at.
At that, it is successful
Steam
I hope Madonna is wearing a tank top.
silverlight? probably going to be a little difficult to get running on my linux box hooked up to my tv
Back to back
Over and over again
Steam
Do you know how torn I am between Madonna and Nicki Minaj
and puppies?
That's why the Puppy Bowl's on now silly
They don't wanna compete for your attention
Steam
spoilers: I've never watched the Puppy Bowl
I'll take the bait post(s). Here's why Stafford won comeback player of the year:
Fuck you, that's why.
Why would you wish this horror on us?
