    Uhhhh... no

    Just about 2 and half hours left till kick off. The pre-game stuff has been pretty grim. The old super bowl highlights that they are showing are ESPN II are far better than the pre game show.

    *old highlights is the only way I'm going to watch the Bears in a Super Bowl this year*

          Well... this years Buc's Defense in the closest thing I've seen to those 85 Bears... close, but not as good.

            I hear the Raiders are heavy favorites in Vegas. BTW CNN reports an estimated $6billion dollars is being bet on this game. Ouch!

              Interesting news is that the starting center for Oakland missed all game activities yesterday so he won't be starting. There are also reports that he is at the hospital. Seeing as he is a pro-Bowler this could be huge.

                Ouch indeed.

                Any vague chance of match-fixing going on?

                Whenever there is 6 billion dollars riding on one sporting event you just know that some nasty people will want to guarantee the outcome. Doesn't mean they'll be successful, but you know that if it was possible then somebody would be trying to do it.

                Hell, it happens with far less high-profile, less lucrative sports. Why not Football?

                  Lastest news says that he was SENT HOME and will not play at all. That's got to hurt the team.

                    About fixing - there are 22 starters on each team, they all want to look good on TV, and they can make more money than people can bribe them for if they play well. Not to mention the coach can always sub in someone.

                    About the center - at ESPN.com they were reporting that he was late for a meeting yesterday and was told he'd be siting out. This guy was injured the last 14 games of last season and the guy who is going to start today is the same guy who started those 14 games last year.

                      Let's get the game going.

                      Beer is in the fridge. A big pot of chili is on the stove. I'm all ready.

                      As far as the SB pool goes I need a lot of feild goal to take the one I'm in. I have 9 for Tampa and 6 for Oakland.

                          good point. unlike other sports somebody would have to bribe 20+ people with HUGE amounts of money to seriously alter the result.

                            Someone get me another beer, I'm too lazy to move from this chair.

                            We're gonna get all of 30 minutes build up here, I think. I'll be tanked by then at this rate.

                              If they were ballsy enough then they might be able to get away with just bribing the coach(es).
