It's better than eeyore Coug IMO because he's wayyyy more unhinged.

Lmao at all of you. He REALLY goes to Children's hospital to visit kids with Cancer. He divorced his wife because she was unfaithful, and she probably did it because he gives up all of his own personal time for others. If someday he makes a mistake and goes against his image that he created then I will eat my words, but Jesus, "he's fake" is the stupidest comment I've heard about Wilson. 3 years in the league, ummm :37 seconds from 3 straight NFC championships and now 2 straight superbowls. Like I said to shel, I'm not necessarily saying he is elite but I will still take him over your guy. Team is built on defense and the run game, and both of those won the game with 5 minutes of magic from Wilson. I know I'm not going to convince anyone, but to question his character just because he "seems fake" is ridiculous

I'm either failing horribly to communicate (which is possible), or people aren't reading.

I'm not saying he doesn't do charity. I didn't bring up the divorce at all because I knew the story already.

You can be a good person and still be smug. And that's what I think he is. That's all.

Good person, good (great even?) player. Great teammate. You can still be smug in that scenario

smug
sməɡ/
adjective
having or showing an excessive pride in oneself or one's achievements.


Just so we are all clear on what you mean.

[shel311]

Wilson is about as much of a robot as there is, everything completely cliche and humble, wouldn't that be the opposite of excessive pride?

having or showing the annoying quality of people who feel very pleased or satisfied with their abilities, achievements, etc.

It's not like an ochocinco or TO type scenario, it's more of a semi-silent err of confidence. Almost like speaking in a way to makes you feel like "Yea, you know I'm the man, I do all this, I do all that, and I'm still humble."

Clearly no one else here (but AJ a little) sees it, so I'm clearly in the minority on this opinion

Caught about 2 or 3 of the post game interviews of Kearse and someone else and everyone wants to be Richard Sherman now.

"No one respected us when we were 3-3, we showed them!!!"

[Seeitsaveit13]

Still don't know why they didn't throw at Sherman at all after he hurt his arm. Can't imagine he would have been able to do a whole lot without that arm...

did Kearse mention how 2 or 3 of his drops led directly to INTs?

[Cnasty]

He forgot to mention that because only the last catch mattered

[ajalves]

I suppose he cant drop them all

I don't see it (or not see it) - no pun intended - but I know exactly what you mean. It's the antithesis of the Prostitute with a Heart of Gold trope. Whether or not this applies to Wilson is unknown.

It was the worst coaching job in the history of football and I am trying really hard to come up with a worse one. McCarthy should be incinerated for his work in this game.

One more thought: I know the Seahawks are unstoppable superweapons that have no flaws and the Patriots are lucky to win nearly every game, but I have a sneaking feeling this game will get ugly. Like Patriots 41-17.

How can you make that comment? The Seahawks were 3-3, 6-4 and 2 games from the 1 seed with 4 games to play. They got LUCKY to be where they are. That game Sunday was hand delivered to them from a comedy of errors by the Packers. They are lucky to be in the Super Bowl. From what I've seen from the Patriots, there was no luck involved in there trip. Pretty handily beat both teams they faced. Do I think the Seahawks are going to win like they did last year, no way in hell, but the way they got there this season versus last season is far from dominating. Add the fact that Thomas and Sherman were both injured significantly will play into it. I will obviously believe that they can win, but I told people before Sunday that I didn't have a good feeling about the NFC Championship. Worried there were going to be some untimely turnovers and that if the Seahawks turned the ball over they were going to lose. I will take the result, but they aren't unstoppable and I don't hear that with any reports that I've watched, I've always heard the experts question the offense and talk up the defense. Go look at the stats. Rodgers 178 yards and 2 picks, Lacy only 78 yards when he had 40+ in the first half, so the defense definitely deserves the respect they have been given, but the offense has been lucky. I don't disagree with your possible score though we'll see. Just remember, Denver was the greatest offense in history statistically last year, just sayin'.

I feel like it will be a blowout. We were spoiled with really 10 years of good to great superbowl before last year and we are due for a bunch of shitty ones.

[ajalves]

spygate?

dont mention the 25 teams that lost SuperBowls while spygating

some interesting hires at the coaching position this year:

John Fox @ SF
Gary Kubiak @ Denver
Marc Tressman to Ravens as OC

But the most puzzling one to me is Doug Marone to Jacksonville as a Line coach for the O and D Lines. Giving up the head coaching job and then ending up as an assistant may prove to be the bonehead move of the year. 4 million dollars withstanding , he must of been grading himself on a curve of one cause no one else agreed with him.

John Fox went to Chicago.
