Why I Hate Super Bowl XLVI (a.k.a Yes, I'm Still Bitter)

I have not had any espn or nfl network on since the loss… My family keeps telling me to get over it..but it’s hard to…

Not sure how much I will watch probably not alot.

Here’s to a great off season, free agency and draft.. GO NINERS!

I couldn’t agree more. Have had a hard time writing about this game because I fully understand that the 49ers, not the Giants belong in it.

Plus, Eli is lucky he is standing upright after as you called it, “the defensive onslaught” the 49ers D put up against him.

Plus don’t forget the BS forward progress call that REALLY DID cost the 49ers the game,well before Williams’ OT fumble.

And I’m talking about the 1997 championship game loss to the GB Packers. With no replay, the refs negated what would have been two turnovers (one would have been a pic six). Then the following day my radio alarm wakes me up to the tune of " Nana nananana grey hey hey, goodbye"… I hated it, that’s the same song they would play at lambeu field after the packers would beat somebody, except that one happened at candlestick.

This one… Well … This one felt worse. So I have no idea how long it will last.

I’m gonna watch Puppy Bowl XIII instead.

Uggh!!

I’d say the most prominent feeling is emptiness. I haven’t been a football fan for a long time and I’ve never really experienced being fully immersed in the team as a fan and winning as a fan, so everything this season was new to me.

One could say this season was almost like a wonderful dream, and the minute we lost we were woken up by the dreaded alarm clock and forced to return to reality. Nobody expected us to win and I must say when I look back at the season it does seem like I was dreaming half the time, almost not believing that everything that happened was really happening.

I can’t help but picture in my head how amazing it would be to see the Niners in the Super Bowl. Hear interviews with Patrick Willis and Alex Smith instead of Eli Manning and Justin Tuck showing off. Have reporters talk about the Niners and their amazing defense instead of praising the Giants. See red and gold on every sports site in the web, on TV. I can’t help but think we could have beaten Brady and we could have won the Lombardi. Jim Harbaugh could have gotten a gatorade shower, teary eyed, as the clock reached zero and the Niners added another trophy to the collection.

It’s so painful to think about it yet I can’t stop. I’ll get over it eventually but I right now I can’t bring myself to read or watch anything football related and am reluctant to start any offseason research or planning.

Fuck. Now I’m really depressed.

… just saw a little clip from Mrs. Jim & John Harbaugh on CNBC and Mrs Jim said that Jim was pretty downtrodden for about a week , so I can’t imagine how the players and Coaches are taking it …!!

But with a sick feeling. And since I don’t drink anymore, I imagine I’ll drown my sorrows in hot wing sauce and false enthusiasm.

… but if there was a Ancient Alien , Idiot Abroad , Oddities or the Jason Bourne marathon on instead I would prolly watch that …!!

I’m too sick of hearing about the Pats and the Giants in the first place. The loss was just the icing on the crap-cake.

all i want for an early christmas present is a good wide receiver or two. then i want alex and company to throw for 4k+ yards next year and bring home trophy number six. i haven’t been this ticked off since those awful green bay games we used to lose.

I feel like the wound of the Giants loss will finally begin to heal, then on to March Madness, The Draft, Spring Training, Opening Day, OTA’s, Minicamp, Training Camp, Preseason, and the Glorious first Sunday Next fall where we open up our NFC West Title Defense. It’s a never ending cycle. Maybe I should think about investing in a life.

I imagine that most of you would be more furious leading up to the SB if we were in it than you have been all year. Most of you complained going into the Saints and Giants games that we got no respect from ESPN and other similar sites. Could you imagine the friggin sitfest FOR TWO WEEKS leading up with everyone talking about Gronkowski and Brady’s 5th super bowl appearance, more than Montana, him being a 49ers fan growing up, etc?

so I won’t be burnt out on hearing about these two teams.

I can only imagine ESPN these past 2 weeks:

“ELI, BRADY, ELI, BRADY, ELI ELI ELI, PEYTON, BRADY, BRADY, 07 07, REVENGE, 07, BRADY, REVENGE, GRONK’S INJURY, ELI, 07, GRONK’S INJURY, REVENGE, etc.”

And everyone riding his dick in the natl media.
I needed that.

Got to admit that they’re fabulous at talking shit.

The only team that’s going to feel worse than the 49ers and Ravens is whoever losses this game. Hoping it’s the Giants. That’s the only thing that will shut these arrogant pricks up.

that I have to watch and just hope and pray they lose. Now if they win I will feel even worse.

I think most of the country outside of the Eastern Seaboard knows that the Niners-Ravens is what should have gone down.

I mean I just dislike both teams and hope they both lose!
Just thinking about thae pair of Football gods ( proclaimed by media the past 2 weeks ) Eli and Brady makes me want to hurl my (Site Decorum ) err I mean Fracking Guts out!
The only cool thing is that we are now just a couple of weeks away from SAN JOSE SABERCAT Football . . .right Ninjames!?

…and TRUST ME IT DOES…I still love my NINERS! Before the NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, I purchased a really cool reebok, red 49ers polo shirt trimmed in black. ITS SWEET!! Seriously. I was sooooo looking forward to wearing it to work on Monday after the NFCC game with my chest stuck out, with pride. I live in Alabama, where people here are crazy about Alabama football. Personally, I can’t stand it, but I digress. It’s something special though about the San Francisco 49ers…I love going out in public on the weekends here wearing my 75th anniversary Jerry rice throwback jersey, showing the rest of the state what it’s like to represent a REAL football team. I still wore that red NINERS polo the day after the NFCC game, and I wore it today as well, the last Friday of the week before the SB. I dont care if we go 0-16, I will ALWAYS rep my NINERS!! GO NINERS!

The wounds are gonna open from the NFC Title game but I’ll probably end up watching it and complain every 5 minutes that we should have been in the Super Bowl

to not caring at all. I hate the Giants the least, so go Giants.

I have not watched a single replay of the NFC Championship game. Not even a single play. I think we all know that it should be the 49ers (shoulda woulda coulda, whatever). Two plays fucked it up…not poor third down conversion, not play calling…two plays. That is the thing that stings the most. It seemed like all the pieces were in place for this to be the 49ers’ year, and for it to end in such a terribly piss poor horrible way is something I probably will not get over for a long time.

Or any other sports related Channels or websites besides here. Actually that is a lie I have been watching ESPNU and following my Cougs and our recruiting class. Thank God for college football and signing day, otherwise I would be struggling right now. This has allowed me to essentially keep my head in the sand and somewhat forget about the SB. I have been invited to numerous superbowl parties, none of which I can force myself to attend. I know that I will end up watching it, but I do not feel like watching it around other people especially if there are going to be people rooting for the Giants. It still irritates me when coming on here and seeing Kyle Williams mentioned as part of our WR group ( I know, I know) but it still stings just to read his name right now.

I told myself before the Playoffs that I would root for the winner coming out of the NFC but that just isn’t going to happen. Go Pats!

I mean, I hope everyone in Indianapolis tears their goddamn ACL. I guess the ideal situation would be Brady tearing his ACL again and the Giants losing. But I’ve got little interest in this game, and it seems like this is what ESPN wanted all along. They are balls deep in Giants/Patriots stories that no one else cares about. I could give less of a shit about the Giants “Nascar” line or whether or not Brady is better than Montana (he’s not). Last time I checked, Montana was batting a thousand in the Super Bowl.

I’ll catch the highlights on Monday.

Going to play touch football, binge eat, foosball tournament, play cards, then see if the game is worth watching. Most likely will watch Golden Girls

A screw it, it happened and have moved on.

Unlike most of you I’ve seen a lot of SB coverage. You’d think the Giants are the Giantest fucking football team of all time listening to the coverage. Everyone is picking the Giants.

What is really fascinating is how much smoke Brady and Belichick have been blowing up the Giants ass. I haven’t seen that much blown ass smoke since 1997 when the Broncos spent the entire week agreeing with everyone what a great dynasty the Packers were shaping up to be. Oh and that Giant season turnaround is going to end with more hyperbole than the Aeneid.

Anyways, besides every ex-player with microphone thinking Madonna is gonna fuck him this weekend if they give her a shout out on the television, no one can figure out how the Patriots are going to win this game. Not one ass monkey has pointed out that when the Giants are healthy they are only good enough to compete with every good team in the league, not necessarily beat them or be favored to beat them. They are just as likely to show up and get thoroughly shit canned like they did in Washington as they are winning a Lombardi. Watch the effing Packers game, they defensive line will get 4-5 sacks but their coverage will also part like the red sea 4-7 times for get blown the fuck out home run balls.

Anyways my prediction, with Gronk hurt the Pats offense will sputter and look NFL dyslexic. Big blue will play like flaming poo. The two teams will take turns out facepalming each other. Pats will get a score late to pull ahead and this Super Bowl will go down as one of the worst played ever, possibly eclipsing SB V.

Both my grandfather and grandmother are seriously getting on in years and are somewhat isolated. Their friends have all died, they’ve got about a thousand bodily pains each. They’re basically depressed. They live a little ways away, and I need to find time to spend with them. The Super Bowl is a good time to do it, among other times.

its been exciting to watch the Super Bowl for the past 8 years (because our team was nowhere near it), but now that we actually had a chance at the SB, this ones feels weird, and resentful to watch. But I will still watch it, with more of a “meh” attitude. I really wish both team could lose…

2 teams that got in by pure fucking luck!

I’m going to enjoy the game. I’m even rooting for the Giants to win it. NFC is best after all. No reason for me to be bitter. Some of you guys need to get over it…..

Would have loved to see Harbs on media day…….the national media would have had a field day with his answers to all the stupid questions……..next year should be fun!

I’m going to a friend’s for an Anti-Super Bowl party and we’re playing Madden.

For the life of me I can’t
Understand why so many of the media expect NY to be
Crowned as the champions especially
Knowing that they are so -bleeping- lucky to even be there

Yesterday I was of the
Opinion that I would root for them to win even
Understanding that our Niners were clearly the SUPERIOR team

Going off that rationale
I thought it would be OK if they won since we would
At least be able to say that we lost to the
Newly crowned champs but I’m still too bitter and I’m finding its
Too much to take so here’s my swear word in frustration…
SHOOT!!!!

My apologies for being so profane

I’ve never heard such utterly useless tripe from these media fools who couldn’t approach this with a little more objectivity and a lot less hype, given the market they cater to in Buffalo. BUT…the best part is that the fans around here are reveling in the Giants’ glory now too. Coughlin comes from Geneva: awesome, a one day story, and we’re done. NOPE – you get MORE! The bandwagoners couldn’t even name the FUCKING TEAM that the Giants scraped by to get here.

So here I will be – enduring the SB on mute simply for commercial breaks (up the volume) and the awesome food selection. I will be representing MY team in jersey, and will assume a bland expression. In the back of my mind though, the Pats are whom I want to win. Its time for the Giants to shit the bed, and make tears run from all these self-proclaimed NY fandom charlatans. Even deeper, for next season, I’d like nothing less than our beloved Niners to take the Bills’ lunch money, beat them to a fine pulp, and then curbstomp them back 3000 miles, so I could then laugh in the faces of surprise and pain that the Buffalo fans will display. They have absolutely NO respect for the 49ers back here – its time they realize that our team is no longer archaic and inept like theirs.

And then I’ll laugh when SF establishes another playoff spot, and the Bills stay home. Again.

End of vendetta talk. The nightmares have persisted. Those two punt returns are what haunt me the most, but soon, it’ll be all over…the new season is just over the horizon. Whomever wins this SB is a team we’ll be facing again soon anyways. I have college hockey to leave my fandom to for the next few months at least – its becoming quite a pleasant outlet after how things ended for us here.

Both teams did not earn to be in this game. The Ravens played harder then the Patriots and should have won (stripped ball in the endzone, missed kick). The Giants did not beat the Niners. The Niners lost the game ( The muffed punt caused the OT ) the Giants were not even close to scoring.
