[Closed] Superb Owl XLVIII

Those sandwiches are going to be a bit dry...

Not once I've dipped them in my Bud Light.

Can I get some cheese with that? Oh and a diet Coke.

Then I am sold, save me a seat in the cheese section!

Its the Superbowl. Its ALL cheese.

If someone can come and watch the kids tomorrow I'll stay up.

Then I am sold, save me a seat in the cheese section!

Will see what I can do, but might need to bump you over to Pretzel Corner.

In the meantime...some warm up entertainment:

I'm gonna watch some, might not last the full duration but depends how the game goes. Saying that, it does look like it will be a war of attrition between the great Denver offence vs. the solid Seattle defence, so I think it might be a late one.
Who is the HT show?
RM.

Looking forward to this especially as it's one of the very rare occasions when I can't decide who I am going to support on the night.

Who is the HT show?

I'm sitting here right now sporting a natty Broncos tee-shirt, and have booked a half-day off work tomorrow. Going to be a close game I think.

Looking forward to this especially as it's one of the very rare occasions when I can't decide who I am going to support on the night.

Likewise. Might have to flip a coin later.

I'm also undecided about who I want to win this year so i'll be happy with a close game.

As a bonus I went out for a 75 Mile ride on the road bike this morning so i can well and truly enjoy the excessive amount of sugar and salt filled snacks I've just bought from Tescos.

Wheres the Owls?

Wheres the Owls?

They're nocturnal, so will be out later tonight.

A meat stadium. Truly American!

Got me all excited then - thought this was a thread about the mighty Sheffield Wednesday

Half time is Bruno Mars (if I remember correctly) and they have been previewing the half time ads all week. I've gots some friends going and could have had a ticket ... Just not interested 🙂

Thanks Danny thats a Superb Owl.

[b]BRONCOS!!!!![/b]

Well said that man.

Ok, after much deliberation, I have decided I will base my decsion on who has the most appealing cheerleaders, the [url= http://www.denverbroncos.com/cheerleaders/roster.html ]Broncos[/url], or the [url= http://www.seahawks.com/cheerleaders/sea-gals-roster.html ]Seahawks[/url].

....

Right. I am going to root for the Broncos.

Thank you Kisato, and Sam, for helping me decide.

[b]C'MON YOU BRONCOS!
[/b]

Another [s]Sam[/s] Broncos fan here too!

Oh, and for the ladies, you can have a pick between:

Wesley Woodyard for the Broncos:

...or Eric Decker for the Seahawks:

[b]C'MON YOU BRONCOS!
[/b]

I was wondering if this might be a contender for worst bike name.

Well, I think ill go with the seahawks then, just because they've never won it.

Eric decker for the seacocks that may throw a spanner in the works for your broncos support.

Good thing he is a broncos player, I think he will have a big night tonight.

Oh yeah [b] Mon the Broncos[/b]

Me - Seahawks. I saw them at the now flattened King Dome in 1995 in a dire match against the Cleveland Browns. Because of this, their cool colours and even cooler logo I'm deffo sticking up for the Seahawks.

Seattle teams choke whenever it's important. As much as I'd love the Seahawks to win, after last time, I'm going to bed and just assuming they'll lose then having a nice surprise if not rather than several hours of drawn out annoyance.

Seahawks, cos a seahawk is infinitely cooler than a horse. They'll still lose though 🙁

.....It's times like these I hate the 15 min edit window. Meant to write:

'Wesley for the Broncos, and Eric Decker for the Broncos'....to give the viewer NO CHOICE! but to pick a Broncos player.

Balls.

Anyway, here's some other guy who plays for the Seahawks.

😀

😆

Back in the late 80s I used to follow the Broncos as Elway led them on improbable comebacks and got chased around the field by all 11 on the defense. But I do like an underdog and I do like a dirty, brawling defense. Reckon the Broncos will win but would love to see a trench war that favours Seattle.

On the basis of the logo alone, I'm going to go for Seattle.
RM.

I already want to strangle Colin Murray. And why does he keep touching? Always with the touching. Bugger off Murray, you big cockbadger.
Oh, and go Broncos.

Vernon Kay should be doing this. Passionate and actually plays the sport.

What time's kick off, incidentally? I didn't actually check.

As owls go, this must be superb in the eyes of some...

[img] [/img]

big bugger too!!

11.30 ish

Hard to see beyond a Broncos win, but a new name on the VL would be cool. As a steelers fan I like the Seahawks defensive style - I wonder if they can draw the Broncos into a running game. If they have to throw big passes they're ****ed.

Good to see two teams with 15-3 seasons battling it out.

I prefer the Seahawks blue kit, so was going to choose them, but the oranges seem to have a horse on their team, which is pretty cool.

Just turned it on.

Colin Murray....oh this is going to be a long night.

Oh, and Amuricans lurve Amurica 😉

Laaaaaaaaaand uuuuuuuuvvvvvv ttttthhuuuuurrrrrr freeeeeehhhhhh!

This is making my ears bleed!

Arrgghhhh

I wish they'd had the guy from Mandela's memorial doing the signing.

I hate the anthem bit! 😡

Nice coat, Joe.

Did Murray just say something about the talking being over? If only. Somebody make him stop, please.

Furbulous coat dude.

Wish my wife would hurry up and go to bed so I can get started on my snacks in peace

I've got it on mute now, can't deal with Murray.

I hate the anthem bit!

It always seems to be an exercise in how much more they can over-milk it.

Currently running 5 minutes or so behind - had to pause it for an emergency chips 'n' dip and Budweiser run cos I thought it started at 11:30 not 10:30.

Nice fly-by.

I feel sorry for Murray's co-presenters, who are contractually obliged not to punch him in the throat.

Goddam you BBC for chucking away another sport. Really good coverage last year, now it's adverts and Colin Murray.

They should make him sit on his hands, the fidgeting touching dog. How I loathe you Murray.

Haha Mr perfect ****ed up.

Oh LULZ @ Peyton.

C'mon SeaBroncos!

/casual

Fantastic start..... for some one but not for the Broncos

Joe Namath, legendary QB, can't even toss a coin... (-:

Ok guys, enough of the Murray bashing already. Unfortunately, he's here all night.

Why have they taken the Peyton chap off?

Darcy and Colin, sitting in a tree... 😀

Is it always this stop start, I wanna see someone get smashed!

Darcy and Colin, sitting in a tree...

It's not that I'm his biggest fan by any stretch.

Are they allowed to have more than one quarterback or chap who throws the ball?

Come on the Seahawks .... you've got to love any part of America where it rains all the time.
By the way this thread is so much better than the Super Bowel thread:-)

Snoop Lion selling out quite nicely.....*

*Again.

I'm sensing tails that you're not an NFL regular? In nfl there are actually two sets of players for each team, the offence and the defence. So Peyton leads the bronco offence but is not all involved in the defence.

Blistering start to the game! Good ruck between both lines.

Major issue is that I appear to be seriously undersnacked for the game - most of way through large (and only) packet of Tyrrells crisps and only 5 minutes into 1st quarter.

Tails it's height limited mate, no more than 3 players over 5ft9 on the field at anyone time.

When the flags are thrown on the pitch it's because someone thinks there are too many tall players on the field.

Only one quarterback per team on the field at any one time but they have back ups.

Here's a score you never really see in NFL 5-0 🙂

In nfl there are actually two sets of players for each team, the offence and the defence.

... and "special teams" who do things like the kick-off and field goals.

Boom!
RM.

Snacks?
No chips.
No dips.
No bud.
No soda.
I have brioche and a glass of milk.

Indeed. As I wrote that I thought about the special teams but was trying to keep it simple.

Plenty of action so far.

I have brioche and a glass of milk.

😆 rock'n'roll baby!

I have one ale left and about ten minutes of cheesecake.

I have brioche and a glass of milk.

I have fish & chips and vodka.

Colin Murray is making the Fox coverage seem less annoying than usual.
