Whoa, 29-0? What happened, another Manning pick-6? This is a disaster of epic proportions unfolding before us, not sure how something like this can happen.

First play from scrimmage is a botch snap over Manning's head for a safety. Seahawks go up 8-0 before Manning throws a pick at his own 40 yard line. Seahawks get a TD out of that. Then a pick 6 happened. Percy Harvin returns the second half opening kickoff for a TD.

I see Wilson has 94 yards and they're talking him up about the 29-0 score.

This is reminiscent of the Bills getting blown out two years in a row. But the only silver lining if there is one, as Liverlips is fond of pointing out, is that this is a complete Coal Bowl other than Manning, Decker and Welker. The Bills of the early '90s were half White when it came to starters and the roster as a whole.

Weenieworld had a blurb earlier today saying the Broncos are going to let Decker test the waters in free agency. Fox and Elway didn't realize (or care) what turned the team around last year, and they're paying the price today. Too bad for Peyton, it's a shame to have this total clunker on his resume. All his critics are loving it.

Well, honestly, as great as Manning is, he's not that clutch.

That's not to say that Wilson is super-talented, or that Seattle really deserves to win.

I think they are lucky and also that they get favorable whistles more than often.

However, that's not to sat they suck, either.

What IS true is that Denver needs to invest in more White protection around their QB, whether that guy is Manning or Tebow.

Manning is clear proof that one man can bring a mediocre organization up through his own qualities, but that in the end he needs help to take it to the next level.

A bunch of f*cking idiot sumos and talentless Black also-rans are NOT the way to go.

New England has (or had) the right idea; core of good White guys, at least on offense, to make the most of Brady's gradually fading skills.

Manning has no such luck. Or rather, he doesn't exploit his White weapons.

As much as I admire him, I see him being the worst sort of caste announcer once his playing days are over.

Wow. Can it really be all Peyton's fault guys? The Center screws up on the first play and there are fumbles all over the place.

One thing is for certain, Troy Aikman is the most accurate announcer in the game. He has called out stupid plays by idiots all season and in this game as well. Accurately pointing out The Denver receiver not helping Manning out on an errant interception, and D. Thomas for running backwards ie.

No one on Denver is playing well, but Manning has been even worse than his normally underwhelming playoff self. And it doesn't matter who else is on the roster- Manning IS the Broncos, and this game will be portrayed as the Seahawks' plantation utterly dominating him.

At this point, I don't think they're going to score. The Seahawks appear to have 20 players on defense- every pass that is thrown (usually a dinky 2-3 yarder) is to a receiver surrounded by defenders. How is this possible? Someone must be open.

This is the worst Super Bowl in history.

I'm really at a loss for words here. I didn't see this coming at all. It appears that Russell Wilson is going to become only the second black quarterback to win a super bowl. The question I have is that, will this play a role in the amount of black quarterbacks coming into the league?

Tony Carter appeared to have let Kearse go, and then didn't even try to tackle him when he had another shot around the 5. I'm feeling like Bigunreal on that play. Good thing Carter is black, his total lack of effort is already forgotten if it was ever noticed.

No, it's not all Peyton's fault, however, with that awful start, he was only down 5 points and was 3 and out and then the INT's. I won't make excuses for him. He hasn't played like the greatest QB of all-time!

Of course it will. It's the end of the nfl...

Doubt it. He's still firmly a game manager and the line shows it. The result of this game would not be any different if someone like Christian Ponder or Jake Locker were the quarterback.

I know a lot of you guys really like Denver for some reason. If its any consolation, most of the world will not see much difference in either team. Both are 80% black teams with a few whites sprinkled in. This describes almost every team in the NFL. Once Bellichek is gone it will even happen to the Pats. Many are ready to hail a black QB finally winning the SB again (after 27 years or so). But it was only a matter of time given that QB in college is pretty much a caste position now. And Wilson is not about to join the ranks of Montana, Unitas, Bradshaw, Marino or even Manning. It sucks but that is the modern NFL. Is it really much better than the NBA?

and Thomas ties Superbowl record with 12 catches, but he has been targeted pretty much every passing play and averaging 8.4 ypc. Welker should have gotten the record, he has 7 catches for 77 yards and actually has helped move the chains pretty much every time targeted.

Correct liverlips. Besides the current QB position in the NFL, there are more whites in the NBA as a percentage in scoring, rebounding, and assists leaders than any other leaders in the NFL!

Aikman thinks its derogatory to call wilson a
a game manager. Aikman and buck can go f off. They wont say that about brad johnson and trent dilfer.
