Weekly Top Five: Super Bowl XLVI? Super Bowl XLVI!
Each week Stephen Teach-Me-How-To Douglas and I will recap some of the bigger stories from the lively week in athletics. It’s a completely original idea that we started over two years ago. Every time this post appears, James William Bottomtooth says something profound. As always, please remember to be as irrational as possible when interacting with your fellow TBL commenters.
Yeah, that’s Kate Upton again.
1. Super Bowl XLVI
TSH — Remember when the Super Bowl used to be a lopsided debacle almost every year? Ever since the Bucs smoked the pathetic Raiders 48-21 we’ve been privy to some pretty great games so long as we pretend the Steelers-Seahawks Super Bowl never happened. I expect this one to be no different, but now that I’ve said that, I fully expect a disgusting blowout.
CRM — Am I the only one who doesn’t have an Super Bowl squares this year? Times like this, I miss working in an office. Then I realize I’m still wearing my pajamas and I come to grips with the fact that I didn’t throw away twenty bucks this week. Go Bears!
2. Super Bowl Eating
TSH — Buffalo wings, pizza, beer, 27-layer dip, a nacho necklace, a cape made entirely of tortillas, and a block of cheese to wear as a comforting sombrero. I’m giddy.
CRM — Buffalo wings, pizza, beer… it’ll be like last Friday. I try to celebrate a personal Super Bowl every weekend.
3. Jim Irsay vs. Peyton Manning, Again
TSH — Peyton Manning needs to play for the Titans or Texans so he can face the Colts twice a year and put on a clinic. I don’t care if it’s “just business,” Jim Irsay is coming off as an unappreciative dick. There’s nothing wrong with the Colts deciding to cut ties with the guy who completely turned around the franchise, but there are better ways to go about the delicate issue.
CRM — I’ll say it again – Peyton needs to finish his career in Indy. It wasn’t right to see Joe Montana end his career in Kansas City. It wasn’t right to see Steve Young end his career in San Francisco. What? Am I the only one that thought he should have been a Buc for life?
4. The Commercials!
TSH — Bring back the Bud Bowl or leave, me, alone.
CRM — Wassup!
5. Greatest Super Bowl Memory
TSH — Super Bowl XXIII. Joe Montana to John Taylor. A scintillating moment to the say the least. That victory brought Joseph his third ring. He ended up grabbing another the following year to finish his career with four Super Bowl rings in total and a record of 4-0 in the Super Bowl, of which he threw 11 touchdowns and no interceptions. Best of luck to anyone attempting to top those numbers.
CRM — I blacked out around the time Justin Timberlake ripped Janet Jackson’s shirt. The second half of that game is a memory I’d like to attain. As for actual memories, the helmet catch was pretty amazing. Followed by Brady and Moss coming so close to hooking up on a bomb on the next possession. That was a good Super Bowl.
Honorable Mention
Josh Hamilton, yikes … Steve Tyler’s tits again … a fucking hat!

Last Week’s Query Poll Results:
Singing “Livin’ on a Prayer” with Tim Tebow or “The Beautiful People” with Tom Brady has finally been decided. Brady won, 93-88. Last week 119 of you preferred Ian Darke to narrate your life as opposed to Marv Albert (98), which is criminal.
Query of the Week…

TSH — With a gun to your head and forced to have sex with one, who would you bone – Snooki or Wicket?

I thought the upper deck of the stadium was coming down when Tracy Porter made the pick. It was rocking pretty hard.

Come on man…they were very good for a few years…they just ran into their old ball coach in the Super Bowl, and Callahan was too dumb to mix anything up.

FLAWLESS FUCKING VICTORY.

When is the Pit Bull Bowl?
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:27 PM
hated that super bowl. Raiders were toast. damn shame they had to matchup against the Bucs. they would have beaten any other NFC team. disgusting to think that the Bucs have a super bowl trophy.
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:28 PM
Is that the tall girl? What is she? Why don’t we like her?

February 3rd, 2012 at 4:29 PM
My best Super Bowl memory is when Greg Lewis caught a TD against the Pats to get it to 7. I had the Ealges +7.5 and it paid for going out for 1 month.
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:29 PM
The Vinatieri kick against the Rams was epic of course, but I am going with Vinatieri kick against the Panthers. Since I am from Charlotte, and I was partying my ass off in college, and 2001 was a shock, but 2003 was just a great effort after they struggled initially. Beating Pey-Pey down, winning all those games in a row. Good times.
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:29 PM
They were about as impressive as John Elway in “the big spot.”

This feels wrong. The beginning of the run is always the best. See YANKEES, 1996.

I won $1000+ on the San Fran – San Diego Super Bowl.
Then, later, I found out I won another $500 on a block pool from that same Super Bowl.
That was like found money.
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:31 PM
I had the Eagles and the Under-45 (wish I had parlayed them looking back)…I’ll always appreciate Rodney Harrison for going to the ground after the interception to end it
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:31 PM
I thought you were kidding when you initially asked. Speechless.
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:31 PM
Will always be the Rams for me. I was living in Pittsburgh and everyone had just the week before (I think only one week b/w games, maybe bc Sept 11? cant remember) been so pissed the “inferior” Pats came into town and beat the vaunted Steelers team. I had an exam on Monday, and watched it in my room, studying. The second the kick went through, a group of my friends burst in, and carried me down the hall cheering. Was awesome.
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:31 PM
When Stokley burned Sehorn for a TD, both because I’m a Ravens fan and I was fucking tired of hearing about Jason Sehorn.

February 3rd, 2012 at 4:34 PM
SB 36 and Vinatieri’s game winner. was nursing a pretty badly sprained ankle, but the joys of drinking my freshman year in college and excitement from the end of the game allowed me to leap to my feet, jumping up and down without pain, only to see my ankle swollen to twice the size the next morning.
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:35 PM
even the misshapen hairy ones on her back?
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:35 PM
They were driving with the ball to cut it to 6 points before Gannon went color blind.
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:36 PM
It was fantastic, don’t get me wrong, but the 03 run was my favorite.
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:36 PM
So we are the same age. But even funnier is that I’d just severely sprained my ankle that nov or december. Was pretty much healed by then, except the degenerative arthritis left over.

Whorebag teacher calls my Mom right before kickoff of the Bengals/Niners (1981 Edition) and tells her I was a pain in the ass, or had a book report to do, or some other shit, and I was grounded for the game. WHO THE FUCK DOES THAT!?!?
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:37 PM
Nothing will beat 2001 after years of being a joke, and nothing can make up for 2007, IMO, but a victory this year would go a long way towards shutting up a lot of ignorant people talking about years since SB wins and Spygate and etc etc.
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:37 PM
even the misshapen hairy ones on her back?
Nice try. There is nothing misshapen or hairy about Ms. Upton.
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:38 PM
Bill Parcells swan song, last SB.
What I liked just as much as the Vinatieri kick in SB 36 was when the Pats came out announced as a team instead of off/def starters. Since then that is what they do for every team. When that happened my fellow Pats fan roommate grabbed my shoulder and said “We are winning this fucking game.”
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:38 PM
I don’t have one…it’s always been filled with teams that beat the Eagles or the Eagles losing. Sigh.
I guess the Packers winning last year paying off the $100 bet I put on them to win the Superbowl at 8-1 out in Vegas.
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:39 PM
what makes this even funnier is the fact that i sprained my left ankle before christmas break playing indoor football, and a week after coming back i sprained my right ankle playing indoor football.
so within 4 weeks i sprained both ankles, the second worse than the first and that was the one i was hopping around on for the Pats game.
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:39 PM
I agree with this, but mainly because I don’t remember much of the ’01 Super Bowl because I was in Italy at the time, and absolutely obliterated. Like stay-in-bed-for-two-straight-days-afterwards drunk.
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:39 PM
In order to do that, you gotta first do the same to Carrot Top. You do it, right?

This is a fantastic wiki read
-Fred Lane went to Lane College
-His wife killed him and was released after serving her term of 8 years
-He grabbed his crotch during celebrations
That’s a great legacy

Also, a really badass picture
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:42 PM
I sprained mine playing football with my girlfriend. She threw a pass behind me and I turned and my foot jammed in the mud. Sprained it so hard one of the peroneal tendons snapped off the end of my 5th metatarsal. I was covered in mud and limping and some dude in a fancy car offers me a ride back to the dorm.
On the way there he introduces himself as the chancellor of the university.
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:43 PM
Wikipedia is telling me he’s due to be released in 6 years. ESPN is gonna love that one. Curious to see what he does when out.
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:43 PM

Curious to see what he does when out.
Maybe he could go back through the draft and take a shot at being the “feel good story of the year”.
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:46 PM
damn, you have surgery to fix that? that’s a grade 3 sprain, isn’t it?
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:48 PM
No and yes.
Non-displaced, so I didn’t know it broke until I did it against my first week in Nashville. The doctor got x-rays “in case” then told me that it had been broken once already. I had to spend a month playing basketball with a walking boot on it.

Quite the trifecta of assholes right there. Hines Ward feels left out.

February 3rd, 2012 at 4:53 PM
Well Randle El to Hines for the TD came in 3rd. There just wasn’t much that was memorable from that 1st SB win aside from that play and the fact that Bus got his ring in his hometown.
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:54 PM
Then again, Andre Rison and Brett Favre are in my favorite super bowl memory. So. Yeah.

Bills fan here. I was pumped when they led Dallas at halftime in Super Bowl XXVIII.
Best memory is drunkenly betting a friend that New York would beat N.E. straight-up at 2:1 odds, then watching Eli loft that floater to Burress.
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:57 PM
There isn’t really a play from last year that sticks out for me. The mendenhall fumble and Nick Collins interception were wonderful though.

That super bowl sucked. I remember I woke up in a sorority house that morning and couldn’t figure out how to get the front door unlocked when I was leaving. So that was awesome. Those places are fortresses.

Greatest. Moment. In. Sports. History.
I stumbled across the Getty Images page for that Super Bowl at work today. Nearly started tearing up when I got to the pics of Brees and his kid, especially a pic of Brees by himself at he podium, staring off, looking like he was going to cry. I sobbed like a goddamn baby that night. And if I live to be a thousand, I’ll still get misty thinking about that game. I hope other fans of other forlorn teams can someday experience that feeling.
