Place Your Bets
Alright, you gambling degenerates, it's time to place your bets on the outcome of the Super Bowl. Since Lem doesn't want to go to prison hasn't enabled the gambling option on his blog, we'll just do this by poll. Bets have to be placed before kickoff. Make you reasoning known in the comments.

I'll take Denver and the points. And the under.
Seattle straight up.
There should be a "that's today?" option for the sports-unaware. :)
Reasoning from a previous thread, lightly edited:
I bet Seattle for the win. But I imagine it will probably be a fairly tight game and I'm looking forward to it. But I just usually favor defense and running over a passing attack, at pretty much all levels of football.
I also expect it will be key for Denver to get some sort of running attack early, just to keep the front four on that Seattle defense honest. They can get really nasty when they can key on a passer. That could make a real difference in the red zone because Manning hasn't seen a secondary as long and tall as that (I don't believe), and he isn't the most strong-armed passer in the world.
I took the under, but that's because I just clicked under before realizing Paul Lynde was an option.
Yeah, baby! 2-0, just like I wanted!
Yeah, who the hell mentioned 2-0? What the hey?
Not only is it 2-0, it's also 0-2, so double win on that bet.
Some bumbling goin' on.
And it's 22-0, too. Denver's play is offensive.
Fastest score in Super Bowl history. 2 points.
Denver's defense was not prepared for this game. They looked confused from the start. Denver's offense was overwhelmed. They can't protect Manning long enough for the wide receivers to get downfield. Bad all around for Denver.
Bruno Mars does Jackie Wilson!
Denver's offensive line is getting their asses kicked. They've had at least four penalties and the bad snap, plus letting Manning get mauled. That INT that got run back was about half Manning's fault, half the O-line's fault.
Glad the refs eventually got the non-fumble on the kick-off correct. I hate bad calls in football games, even if they go the way of the team I'm rooting for.
And Sixty, I mentioned wanting a 2-0 (or rather, 0-2, per Haz) score in the previous comment thread.
Mars isn't bad as James Brown, but he needs a guy shouting "Bruno Mars! Bruno Mars!" following him around to get the whole effect. And now I'm behind on the broadcast.
Grrr.
Yikes!
The rout in on!
Denver is napping out there.
The commercials generally haven't been bad, but not great either. The Bud Light series has been terrible.
So far my favorites were the Cheerios commercial (the Mom's look at the end sold it) and ... I forgot the other one! Dang it, I actually liked it, too.
PERCY! PERCY PERCY!
Back live and
PERCY! PERCY PERCY!
Come on, Peyton.
Make a game out of it.
A surgery recovering concussed return for a TD.
WTF?
Elway, you bitch! You didn't just fuck with Tim Tebow, you fucked with Gator Nation!
PERCY! PERCY! PERCY!
Seattle's biggest problem is that their kicker's leg is going to get tired.
Where's your Messiah now?
I think Peyton Manning is on LSD.
Oh, of course, I liked the TEBOW ad earlier.
Somewhere Jim Irsay is watching this and feeling happy Andrew Luck is his quarterback.
He's on OLD. Here's really looking like an old QB. We might get a Y. A. Tittle moment at the end of the game.
Also, both Dee Snyder (Twisted Sister) and Quiet Riot have made appearances tonight. Very strange.
Somewhere Jim Irsay is watching this and feeling happy Andrew Luck is his quarterback.
I'd vote that up if we had buttons. Back to the game.
Coupla turnovers is Denver's only hope.
I will say this, however:
It's a shame that Champ Bailey won't get a Super Bowl championship to cap his career.
I liked the Matrix Morpheus car commercial.
Did he punch out the ball out of his chest.
Bring back Tebow!
Bring back Tebow!
Tebow couldn't do any worst.
And for the record, I haven't and don't think Tebow is an NFL caliber QB. I don't have a problem that Elway wanted to get a better QB - if I had been running the team I would have felt the same way.
I _DO_ have a problem with the fact that he was rooting for his own player to fail, and for his team to lose, just to make his own life easier. That's scumbag behavior.
Coupla turnovers is Denver's only hope.
Well, they had one.
Oh, you mean SEATTLE needs to turn it over.
Great pass from Wilson there. I like him as a player.
Elway must be thinking this is just like his first three Super Bowls.
TEEEEEEE-bow!
TEEEEEEE-bow!
TEEEEEEE-bow!
TEEEEEEE-bow!
The last good Bronco run was OJ Simpson in 1994 on the LA freeway.
Go for two, Seattle!

Ooooo, so you aren't voting for Terrell Davis for the Hall of Fame?
36-8. And epically ugly score.
The birth of "the slow speed chase" phrase.
Will Peyton retire?
Make that the "low-speed chase".
Altspouse will blog about the Dylan commercial. You know, the commercial where a septuagenarian stoner forfeits that Chrysler is 100% owned by Fiat.
Forgets, not forfeits
Denver is brilliantly re-enacting the ObamaCare rollout.
@Michael,
I try my best not to hold Altspouse against Dylan.
It's not Dylan's fault.
lol.
You should tweet that MH. I will if you don't.
Obama filibustered O'Reilly out of play in the pre-game interview.
James Taranto @jamestaranto 6m
Now I understand the expression "beating a dead horse."
This game is like a boxing match between Mike Tyson and Steven Hawking.
Omaha was taken out on the very first play of the game.
Has manning said Omaha tonight?
@QuickTortuga: "What did you do after the Superbowl was over?"
"Watched the 2nd half"
Microsoft wins the Super Bowl!
Triumph of the anti-Christ!
"Has manning said Omaha tonight?"
I was in and out TV earshot, but, during the time I was paying attention I didn't hear it once.
Denver plus 36? Would that work?
John Fox still sucks as a coach. He should be unemployed before the sun rises again.
Manning was mugged multiple times tonight.
Roll me a big one, Seattle!
Treat yourself to the Afghan Kush on me!
I was flipping between the game and Downton Abbey because I am not in any pools this year so I don't care.
But I finally realized what would be the perfect nickname for Peyton Manning.
Anna Bates.

Game not as close as final score would indicate.
Well, this is an awkward post to first read at this point.
Best comment I heard: Denver is playing like they've been enjoying their new law a bit too much recently!
Jesus Christ,
Althouse is going to be giving Dylan the biggest virtual blow job she can muster tomorrow.
That commercial is the first time Dylan was intelligible in 3 decades.
Wow, well that was boring.
Well you know that Peyton will be full of excuses about why he is not as good as his brother.
I think he should go with the fact that he was traumatized because he was touched inappropriately by Woody Allen.
An old fashioned Super Bowl Blow-out. I'm reminded of Fran Tarkington for some reason
They need to give team's a "No Mas" option.
I saw the Dylan commercial.
First thought: what will Althouse say?
Will she compare it to Clint Eastwood's pitch?
BTW, there was an earlier commercial which used the track "I Want You"
Did you catch that?
I actually didn't recognize Dylan without his hat. It was a good ad even though he didn't really need to tarnish his image just for the SB. Has Dylan ever acted in a TV ad before?
He seems to have gotten over his laryngitis.
"Let Germany brew your beer, and Switzerland make your watch."
Dylan's not going to be doing any Bud commercials very soon.
"Let Germany brew your beer, and Switzerland make your watch."
"Let Italy reap the profits from your dumb automobile purchase."
But Washington state had just enacted the same law too, Paddy.
I was buying a sandwich when the initial hike went over Manning's head but I did not see that part, I only saw the Bronco pounce upon the ball, and I said, "That looks pretty good to me."
Another customer (male, intensely interested) said, "That's a safety." Reading my blank expression correctly another bloke, his friend said, "The ball was hiked over his head." And I go, "Ha ha ha. I take it back. That is not good at all." And now all four, the worker, I and two customers are all Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha.
But that was the very beginning before they had their asses handed back to them following those asses so ignominiously fucked in public like that.
Park bad you. No parade for you!
To be fair, Dylan suggested that we "build your car", not that we own the company.
A last comment about an ad:
The Budweiser homecoming parade commercial. Somehow, they managed to make Winter Park look vaguely rustic, which is quite a trick. Winter Park is right smack in the middle of Central Florida's urban sprawl. And the street where they held the parade is rather toney, a bit posh, even. (I've been watching too many British TV shows lately.) So that was some fine editing to achieve that particular effect.
A good ad, though.
Congrats to the Seahawks.
I would have cheered for them if the Broncos were not the other team.
I have friends and family in the Seattle area. I also think it's exciting that this is their first Super Bowl win.
You want to see sad gloomy faces? Come to Denver right now. yeesh. Collective depression and chilly cold have settled upon us.
Not to worry, it will be 4:20 there soon, and all will be forgotten.
Dylan looked creepily like crap. Grossed me out, really.
My problem at Lem's is I love Dylan's early stuff, but everyone seems to hate him lol.
Seattle doesn't deserve a Superbowl. I too have relatives there, and while King County has many fine people, the city itself is full of latte-drinking SWPL snobs who like soccer more( they persist in calling it "real football") and performance art.
As for Dylan, I thought he was dead. Isn't he like 100 years old?
Chrysler's target market.

Don't listen them and it's not a probLem.
