We Patriots fans had our many years of mediocrity. And the humiliating loss to the 85 Bears.

But since we are not in it... Go Colts!

Only difference being we've earned the right to talk shit.. you were just playing ass tuba.

I just hope it's a good game. I'd like to see Peyton win a ring but it's not THAT big of a deal. Just as long as the fucking Patriots aren't in the game.

I find it hard to believe that anyone wants this more than Peyton Manning. He's probably cried himself to sleep countless nights because he couldn't make this step in his career. I mean it's the Superbowl..I doubt anyone that's worth a shit on the field doesn't WANT this. Not to mention Peyton is the most important person on that field Superbowl Sunday. Colts go as Peyton goes..not to take anythin away from Rex..but come on..he'll be too busy worrying himself sick because he's mediocre at best and he knows it. Doesn't want to cost his team the game.

The way I see it, there's a lot of individuals that want the title for their own reasons which reflect nothing on a team synergy/momentum that the Bears are on right now, especially with the jaded talent of the Colts.

Dont get me wrong, the Colts D is going to be rough, especially on Grossman. But underestimating ones adversary is a time honored faux paus. I hope Grossman rises up to heroic proportions for the sake of nothing but representing the underdog/longshot. Being 11 and 26 for 144 yds and no errors in a conference title game is nothing to sneeze at, so it'll be interesting to see what will happen.

And yes, I'm transgressing into territory I dont normally tread here on the PC. I am surrounded by sports everywhere else with friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers not to have to rehash everything here too.

Yes, I'm an old school SWC (now Big 12) fan. So yea, laugh it up.

Agreed. 100%. Garbage is being semi-kind considering some of the plays he's made but..that's why they play the game. Stranger things have happened. But Sean's hit the nail on the head in my opinion.

[stallion4]

Not to mention if he watches any shows or reads any papers about himself it's going to be all about him making mistakes and how he better not cost them the game. Hopefully they can keep his head straight.

You, as a person who has never strapped up and took the field for a SEC college (let alone a pro team), haven't earned earned the right to use the term we.

If he was playing tuba, you were at home on your crusty couch, in your streaked tighties, holding a half empty can of Milwaukee's Best, and rooting for your team. You have less right to use we than the cheer leaders, band, or drunken students in the stands.

None the less ...

Colts have the O and deadly passing game.
Bears have the D and a QB with MPD.

If you're an alumni or supporter of a team I think you do have the right to use the terms we. Without alumni, boosters, fans, etc. there would be no team. Theres a reason fans are called the 12th man.

(CBS4) MIAMI Die-hard football fans attending the Super Bowl game at Dolphin Stadium are getting a rude awakening after finding out that no tailgating of any type will be allowed on game day within one mile of the stadium.

"There is no tailgating allowed in the Dolphin Stadium parking lots," Sue Jaquez, a member of the Super Bowl XLI Host Committee, confirmed on Tuesday. "And there is no tailgating anywhere within a one-mile radius of the stadium." "And there are no RVs allowed."

Tailgating is permitted during regular- and post-season games for Dolphins fans, a team official on Tuesday said it would indeed be allowed at the Super Bowl. According to Jaquez, however, the official has been seriously misinformed.

The Dolphins do not organize and oversee the Super Bowl, Jaquez pointed out. Instead, those duties are left up to NFL officials. And because of security reasons, no pre-game partying on (or very near) the premises will take place. Fans spotted tailgating could face charges, Jaquez said.

"This is part of the NFL, not the Dolphins," Jaquez said. "If the Dolphins are saying there's tailgating -- or think it's going to be allowed -- then they need to contact the NFL."

Detective Nelda Fonticella of the Miami-Dade Police confirmed the Super Bowl rules.

If caught grilling or consuming alcohol within that one-mile radius of Dolphins Stadium, fans initially "will be warned and asked to pick up their things and leave," Fonticella said. "We're trying to make this a pleasant experience for everyone, and there will be plenty to do in the week leading up to the game."

[Gan]

The purest in me agrees, its BS.

However, the realist in me says that because its an extra-special event, with extraordinary treatment, then it should consider extraordinary measures to protect the people in attendance.

Especially in these days and times.

Because scalping isn't a fraudulent activity, why not go after something really illegal? Broken rolleyes emoticon :rolleyes:

I don't know too much about other stadiums in the 2k+, but ever since right after 9-11 to infinity, actual entry to at least MSG and Yankee Stadium has been watched like a hawk.

I honestly believe if there were security concerns for X amount of reasons (i.e. streakers, terrorism, leprechauns, etc.) then that would have probably been addressed as opposed to drinking laws not on the premesis being cited.

I dunno. The purist in me wouldn't mind at least getting rid of that dumb steaking out lottery commercial on all the sport networks. Someone should NoviiMedia that ad in its entirety.

I know it is to prevent the Chicago fans from grilling their Brotworst and other meats. Most likely the officials thought the odor would give the Bears an unfair advantage over the Colts.

Scalpers take Super Bowl business online
Psst! Want a ticket to the hottest game in town? It's just a few clicks away
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16828011/

MIAMI - Jeff Block is pensive about cashing in his life insurance policy, wistful about putting off his wedding engagement, fearful about making the big purchase.

One thing the 31-year-old financial analyst is sure of: If he comes up with the cash to follow his beloved Chicago Bears to the Super Bowl, he won't be buying tickets from a traditional scalper. His attention is focused on one of the many online ticket resellers.

The secondhand ticket market has grown up a lot in the last decade, shifting from a business largely conducted by salesmen lurking outside stadiums to one chiefly online, both in simple Craigslist postings and more sophisticated Internet databases.

"The street business has really died,'' said Don Vaccaro, who has been selling tickets since 1979 and is the founder and chief executive of Vernon, Conn.-based TicketLiquidator.com. "The old-time brokers are saying, 'Look, you got a bunch of geeks selling tickets now.' It's really a lot more brains going in now.''

There are about 70,000 seats at the Feb. 4 game, but ticket distribution is tightly controlled by the NFL: 25.2 percent to the league itself, largely for sponsors, licensees and the like; 17.5 percent each to the two competing teams, the Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts, with some raffled off to season ticket holders; 5 percent to the host Miami Dolphins; and 1.2 percent to each of the remaining 29 NFL teams.

Many of those lucky enough to get tickets when they're first sold won't part with them. Princeton University economist Alan Krueger studied the ticket market during the 2001 Super Bowl in Tampa and found only about 20 percent of seats were resold.

"People were very reluctant to sell their ticket,'' he said. "If they won their ticket in the lottery they acted as if they were chosen by God to go to the game.''

That leaves desperate fans with a choice: Pay up or park yourself on your couch.

If they choose the former, and turn to a broker, they will be buying tickets that have been marked up at least twice - by the original holder or holders and then again by the resale company, which typically tries to secure a price 20 percent to 30 percent higher than it paid. The result is upper-level seats from around $3,000 to luxury sideline suites for over a half-million dollars, though the average regular Super Bowl ticket sold online is about $5,115, according to an analysis by SeatSmart.com, an online ticket search site.

The face value of all Super Bowl tickets is $600 or $700.

The National Association of Ticket Brokers says there are about 600 brokers nationwide; those in the industry say their online presence has increased competition and pricing transparency. They say - believe it or not - tickets used to be marked up even more.

"It used to be, buy a ticket, triple your profit,'' Vaccaro said. "Now it's buy a ticket and you're lucky if you get 20 percent.''

If that isn't pulling at your heartstrings, consider the rate at which some companies are growing. Mike Domek started his company in 1992, generating $100,000 in sales its first year. Last year, Crystal Lake, Ill.-based TicketsNow.com hit $200 million in revenue.

And it's not just big sporting events like the Super Bowl, the World Cup or the Masters adding to their bottom lines. While Domek made more on the Super Bowl last year than any other single event, tickets to the musical "Wicked'' collectively generated more revenue than anything else.

Mike Janes, a senior vice president at online ticket broker StubHub.com, said people will spend the money because such tickets are seen as admittance to a once-in-a-lifetime experience. StubHub was recently purchased by eBay Inc. for $310 million.

"People spend a lot of money, thousands of dollars quite often, for experiences like going to Hawaii, going on a cruise, going to Las Vegas, going to Disney World,'' Janes said. "Fans, especially passionate fans, think nothing of spending that amount of money on an event like this.''
Story continues below ↓ advertisement

Gene Kudron, a 49-year-old who lives in Winfield, Ill., and owns a small manufacturing company, is among those who decided it's worth the cost. He bought four Super Bowl packages on RazorGator.com for a total of $24,800.

"I had it up on the screen and I didn't hit that button for probably 10 minutes,'' he said. "I tried to justify it 15 different ways but it's an opportunity I probably won't have again.''

Though much of the initial allotment of Super Bowl tickets is going to corporate buyers, many of the resold ones are, too. Companies buy them up to reward clients and employees and brokers say they account for most of the business up until the two weeks before the Super bowl.

"They're the only ones who will allocate funds no matter what team is involved,'' said Michael Lipman, president of Miami-based TicketsOfAmerica.com.

Lipman will sell about 20 to 40 game tickets to Richard Bennetti, chief executive of Ocean Drive Limousine in Miami, who gives them to clients. Bennetti says it keeps customers interested in his business by giving them an unmatchable experience.

"It's like giving a small baby its first taste of ice cream,'' he said.

The majority of states have no price cap on ticket resales by brokers; Florida eased its rules last year and some other remaining ones appear poised to follow. Still, companies can often get around any restrictions by offering travel packages, with tickets, airfare, a hotel room and other perks bundled together. Scalpers who work right outside events typically face tougher constraints, but overall the legal environment has become friendlier.

"The clear trend,'' said Gary Adler, a lobbyist and attorney for the National Association of Ticket Brokers, "is toward opening up markets.''

Krueger said his survey showed most fans support a legal ticket resale market but don't want to see the NFL charge more. Many argue the league could improve the Super Bowl situation by giving more tickets directly to fans, but Brian McCarthy, an NFL spokesman, said there will never be enough.

"If we could build a stadium for 400,000 fans we still wouldn't have enough tickets,'' he said.

As for Block, he was still struggling with his decision as game day neared. He was worried more about the cost than upsetting his girlfriend.

"She puts up with a lot,'' he said.

[zhelas]

Looked on Ebay at the costs of the tickets. I think I will be going to my local watering hole instead.
