That was one hell of a hit. Ravens on a roll now.

 

not surprising at ridley not returning. at all. and the sad part of it is that ridley was at fault for his head being hit like that because he ducked.

 

Brady was just Bradying! LOL

 

well, the patriots aren't doing what they need to win this game right now. at all.

 

LOL I just texted this too!

 

I...I'm cheering for the Ravens and I feel really dirty.

Me too...

Ahahaha! I was just coming in here to type for y'all to not count the Pats out (so you don't jinx it and they win or something) but Brady just threw and interception so I changed my post!

 

wasn't counting them out, just commenting on the way they'd been playing.

and yea... that INT pretty much just sealed it probably. brady just seems to have lost his mojo in the clutch since the spygate thing happened. which is just kinda weird.

 

Meanwhile, over at Bill Simmons' house... :

 

Go 49ers! That is all.

 

Wow, did someone replace Tom Brady with Peyton Manning for this game? Yikes.

Well Ray Lewis is going to get to end his career in the Super Bowl. I have such mixed feelings on that.

Also, lol, f-bomb totally just dropped on TV. I'm not sure what they expect when they have mics on the sideline.

 

no, that was brady being brady for the last however many years it's been. this has happened repeatedly to him in the playoffs at one point or another. one of the main reasons that the pats haven't won another SB.

 

Just what are your feelings/thoughts on the career of Ray Lewis, Rachel?

 

Harbaugh bowl should be a fun time for the media.

 

were i to guess, i'd say it's probably something related to whatever his part in the murders back after the SB they won was, tunick..

annnnd brady yet again screws up. seriously, WTH happened to brady? i honestly believe brady is the only reason the pats haven't won another SB. because he just keeps screwing up.

 

Looks like Flacco's going to finally get over that AFC Championship hump.

Similar mixed feelings about Ray Lewis solojones

That's probably the same scene at James Harrison's house as well. Remember the "Ravens will never get to the Superbowl?" remarks he's said over the years?

Edit: Trimaj him beating that murder rap was before the Raven's 2000 Superbowl run.

 

was it? i thought it was just after it. guess it was the year before then, because i know it was right after a Super Bowl.

 

i feel like i'm picking on you tonight, but this is a pretty silly statement. i mean brady is a huge part of why they've been so close so many times. if you replaced him with aaron rodgers or drew brees then sure, maybe they would have won a few more. but try to imagine replacing him with someone who they realistically could have acquired in the past several years, and tell me they would have been in a better position to win a super bowl.

 

Luck, check. Manning, check. Brady, check. One more game and Ray can potentially walk away with another ring.

Great story lines entering the Super Bowl week. Harbaugh vs. Harbaugh, West Coast vs. East Coast. Yeah, good stuff.
