Meh, to each their own, I guess.

I'm looking forward to seeing them. For my money, the best halftime shows have been U2 and Tom Petty.

Love Bruce Springsteen, but I didn't really feel that he was right for the halftime show.

Alright all. Big game is two days away. Predictions?

My head thinks Carolina wins. But I hope Denver wins. Not a Denver fan, but I think it makes for a great story that Peyton rides off into the sunset with a Super Bowl win.

They should really get Slayer to do the half-time show. Pretty sure Kerry King is a big Raiders fan.

First off I hope to hell I am wrong because I want Denver to win but that being said……Two weeks ago I was thinking 38-10 Carolina. But now I think the Denver D will be decent but I still can’t see the Denver offense doing much of anything so I’ll revise it to 27-10 Carolina. Petyon will throw a couple pics and give Carolina good field position (maybe even a pic 6.). I see Peyton doing something like 16-35 167 yards 1 TD and 3 INT’s… it could be really ugly for him.

Doesn't matter the score, as long as the Panthers win I will be happy.

Last year I predicted Pats 27 - Seahawks 25 with Brady becoming the GOAT.... was pretty close with the score.... this year I will go.....

Panthers 27 - Broncos 23. Cam goes over 100 yards rushing and 200 yards passing in route to MVP.

Ouch, but really kind of true.

i think it will be a close game. I don't see Manning playing nearly as bad as some think but I don't see him lighting it up either. Denvers D is not going to get blown out, if the D stays in their lanes Cam could be in for his toughest test and be forced to see if he can really be a pocket passer with quick on time passes, not something he has shown to consistently do from what I have seen, and I am not sure they have the receivers for that kind of game. I think both teams need the same thing in the game, a good running game early.

Where was Metallica?

Where was Metallica?

They are doing the Saturday night show.

I would have rather had them for the halftime show

How does Tony Dungy make the Hall of Fame? One Super Bowl, losing playoff record, carried by Peyton Manning. Cries about the Patriots every chance he gets. Better options than him.

You must have missed the part of him being a pretty good player himself

Yeah he was a horrible coach

he went in as a coach not as a player.

Tom Flores. Two Super Bowls, great playoff record..... not in.

Tony Dungy. One Super Bowl, losing playoff record..... gets in. Only one reason why Dungy got in......

Tony Dungy nearly 50 more wins and less losses.

Not saying Flores doesn't deserve to be in but saying Dungy doesn't

I think he should have waited a lot longer. Any Super Bowl winning head coach deserves to go in eventually..... but it seems like a quick turnaround. What was it... 6-7 years it took for him to go in?

I'm mentally preparing myself now for when Manning wins the MVP after throwing for 130 yards, a TD and 2 picks.

I'll stick with my original pick Car 34 Den 10. Go Panthers!

If Denver wins, he could throw for -5 yards and still get the MVP sadly.
