ESPN Expert Picks...A Joke!!!

This morning there were 4 picking the Seahawks, not sure what changed? But, now there's only 3 picking the Seahawks... Not sure but I think Carter changed his pick sometime today... This is a real joke!!! Maybe good for our Seahawks!!! GO HAWKS!!! :thirishdrinkers:

The less on the ban wagon the better then when we win it will be all the more sweeter!!! We all we need we all we got.... Go hawks!!!!!

I think Carter got called out so much that he changed his pick out of spite. :lol:

FAIL....... :34853_doh:

So much of a joke that the picks have no effect on the game itself!!! Wow! Crazy witchcraft going on here.

<still searching for that yawning smilie>

I'm almost thinking that most of the so called experts don't believe the Bronco's are going to win... I think they're giving Peyton respect, and really don't care if they're wrong... Nothing really to lose, including face... Most don't have much of that anyway... GO HAWKS!!! :thirishdrinkers:

lol Carter did switch. How hilarious

He was offered free Papa John's for life. :roll:

Many of the players think that because we are so young that we will lose composure and Peyton with his experiance will seize on that. I think it was the play maker who said every one loses it at some point in the superbowl the only question is how quickly can you get back.

Aside from Manning how many Broncs have played in a super bowl anyway?

That reminds me ..... I forgot to pick up Ivar's 20oz Clam Chowder on sale here locally. Got to put that at the top of my list for tomorrow morning.

Yea ..... I can schedule and run my life 24/7 now that I am retired.

PLEASE tell me someone sent this new to Doug Baldwin.

They have a page up on ESPN now that shows all the picks for the game and man, so many chose the Broncos over the Hawks. I would say it was a good 3 to 1 ratio.

I didn't get a harumph outta you!

Less Hawk picks the better. Traditional respect of the vet qb is all.

Hawks are going to give the vet a handfull Sunday.

Not a lot. Jacob Tamme was in one with Manning in Indy. Rogers-Cromarties with the Cards in 09. I think there were two more whose names escape me, but none of them have rings.

You have to differentiate between experts, tv/radio personalities, ex players and biased individuals. Take a guy like Stink (i don't know his real name), the man would almost sell his first born for Peyton to win. He is on ESPN all the time. His opinion is worthless because it is so biased.

The real "experts" who are not biased carry some weight with me. Jon Gruden picked Denver by a small margin --this means something to me. Why? Because he knows what he is talking about. He is an NFL coach, he is well regarded by all --most importantly, he actually studies the tape.

But you take guys like Stephen A Smith. Not only does he not know much about football, but he doesn't know much about the Seahawks either. He is a TV personality, not on TV for his knowledge, just on for his entertainment value. Chris Carter is another one. Just because you're a player, even a hall of famer, doesn't mean you actually know anything. The Hall of Fame means you're a good regular season player, it doesn't mean you're not an idiot.

In the end most of these "experts" don't count for much. Not because some of them don't know football, but because it's impossible for most of them to be educated on every team. They don't watch all the Seahawks games like you or I, they don't actually study this team. So by result they don't know much and can't make good predictions.

I know I lost what respect I had for those espn experts opinions. Not that i was mad they picked against the seahawks but the reason behind it. Most said it was a tough match up so they would go with the "battle tested" experience of the broncos? Which is a joke when you look at the totally different paths these teams have taken to the superbowl this season especially after the NFCCG. So I expect and hope for a brutal wake up call for these analysts on superbowl sunday on how good this team really is.

Skip Bayless... Pick, Denver " Because of Denver's Defense"

Oh boy..
