Who will win the Super Bowl this year?


Hey . . . I'm just looking to get the pulse of the nerd community. Sorry if I didn't list your team . . . but if I didn't, they probably aren't even making the playoffs.

I only care about who will be at the half time show (last year was The Who), and hopefully better (funny) commercials. I could care less about the actual game.

I won't care until the World Series of Baseball is done.

Go Phillies.

Last year's commercials were pretty lame, weren't they?

Go Patriots.

They were highly disappointing. The Super Bowl is usually the only football game I watch live. Throughout the season, I let my DVR build up about 45 minutes of delay so that I can watch games commercial-free.

If the Super Bowl commercials are awful again this year, I'm going to be watching that game on a delay, too.

I usually just do other things when the game is on. I'm not interested in the actual rugby-like game.

Super Bowl the only time I actually WANT to see commercials .

I voted for the Chargers because (1) they're the closest team to me and (2) they share a mascot with my school (look in my signature).

The Chiefs have been my chosen team since back when "The Nigerian Nightmare" made you think of a power running back and not some sort of email scam!

Being English, I don't get to see many games, and our TV rarely broadcasts a Chiefs game, so I don't get to see them all that often - which considering their recent suckness of the last few years is probably just as well.

But your team is your team and you don't abandon them just because they've developed a case of Suck! Glad to see them off to a better start this year.

Superbowl? Hell, I'll be happy if they make the play-offs!

The Chiefs are currently the only undefeated team left in the NFL after four weeks of play.

They look like a whole new team this year.
