I'm not a sports fan but I still find myself smiling!  Because Seahawks won the Superbowl baby!  Hubby is a fan so of course the game was on!  And I usually watch the Superbowl to see the commercials!

Congrats to Seattle!

I was at work so only caiught the nfl score updates when I had moments during my work but it was a pretty convincing win by the Seahawks for the Superb Owl as Colbert calls it.

I was pretty darn happy. Plus I'd also had a small investment on the win at $2.10 :)

I took the Seahawks to win, but I had no idea that they'd win so convincingly!

They utterly trashed the Broncos.  I mean, how embarrassed must those players feel today?  The Seahawks so totally dominated that game that in the final quarter, with the score at about a billion to 8, on their last two possessions they could have kicked easily made field goals, but instead they invoked some sort of mercy rule and went for it on 4th and whatever.  I mean, when a team decides not to run up the score one you, and when it's the freakin' Super Bowl, you know you have been well and truly humiliated.

I was listening to some of the pre-game hooha on the radio, and I heard Larry Fitzgerald (my fave player) say that defense wins Championships.  Word!!

Oh, and did anyone notice that we didn't see any shots of Archie in the luxury lounge?

The NFL Draft is coming up soon; what do you think the Texans will do with their number 1 pick??

Anyone have any thoughts on the draft?

My biggest thought on the draft is my constant prayer that the 2015 draft will be held in Chicago like they started talking about on the news the last couple of days.  If that happens, we will be there for sure to cheer on our beloved Pack.   :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

REGULAR SEASON STARTS THIS WEEK!!

And my Packers kick it off in Seattle.  I figure it can't end any worse for us than the last time we played them in regular season. (Nothing against any Seahawks fans).

Even I have to admit, it was a complete dismantling of the Packers.  I have a feeling that the same thing will happen to any team who dares enter CenturyLink field this year.  Was that field specifically designed to capture all the crowd noise and send it back down to the field because that definitely looks like what was happening.

And BTW, did Pete Carroll have any "work" done during the offseason?  He looked vaguely....shiny.

I thought the same about Pete Carroll.  He looked particularly "well rested". 

The Packers without B.J. Raji looked very vulnerable. 

I'll be taking the Seahawks at home all season long in our football pool.

B.J. Raji didn't look super awesome last season.  It was more that Hawk and Jones weren't keeping up with their LB duties.

And, you couldn't pay me to go to a game in Seattle now.  No offense, but I'd have to leave by the end of the first quarter with all their noise.

CFC, yeah,you are probably right about Raji.

Just to be clear, when I say I will be taking the Hawks at home all season, I am referring to the football pool to which I belong.  I do not think I could tolerate that much noise for three hours, but then again, I am not a Seattle fan.  I guess if you have a Super Bowl winning team, you can tolerate just about anything.

Anyone care to share their thoughts about week 1?

I am boycotting the NFL until Roger Goodell is no longer commissioner.

I will watch no games, and I have pulled out of the football pool in which I have participated for the past 8 years.

The thought of the NFL recognizing Breast Cancer Awareness month in October is the height of hypocrisy. 

On The Score (a local sports radio call-in show here in Chicagoland) this morning, they were asking amongst themselves whether or not female fans would boycott.  The general consensus was "no", and several women texted in that they'd keep watching.  Well, I called in and declared that I would not.  I've been going to NFL games since I was 8 years old.  I practically grew up in the Astrodome.  But I can't stomach it now.  I love football but I despise the NFL.  Roger Goodell is the face of the NFL, and he must go.

The Score asked me to leave my phone number with their producer; they plan to check back with me in a month to see if I'm still boycotting.  After I hung up, I turned the radio back on, and the general consensus on the show was that no, I'd not be able to stay away from the TV on game days.

They'd be wrong.

The breast cancer awareness month drives me bat shit crazy anyway. I'd say it was already hypocrisy.

I wish you the best with your boycott.  I'm not, but that's because there are plenty of players voicing their disgust over this matter, so I don't feel so alone.  I'm a feminist and the fact that this got people talking and the commissioner wanting feedback from fans, makes me think there is hope.  I don't know how I feel about Godell.  I think he should probably pack up after this horrid incident, but it isn't the first incident regarding assault of some nature, so him getting it wrong (and possibly lying about things for self preservation) isn't exactly shocking.

*le sigh*  Here's hoping Janay Palmer's life isn't in complete shambles.

I'm a huge Packer fan.  My fam has season tickets and my grandparents were at the Ice Bowl.
