More stuff on Super Bowl Predictions

I know there has been a lot of topics on all the pundits picking against Seattle in the Super Bowl. That stuff is, of course, entertaining, but what I have enjoyed watching lately is how Skip and Steven A. Smith have berated the people who have come on their show who picked Seattle. Now, anybody can make a wrong prediction but to be so cocky and demeaning of people who disagree with you, that's a special kind of egg on your face. Here is a video of Plaxico Burress picking Seattle (Eric Dickerson, I believe is another one you can find). One thing to note too: while Plaxico is right, he's not right for the right reasons.

He knew our secondary matched up really well with Denver's receivers. He was sure right about that.

But he thought it would be a close game due to our offense, and he thought we would be able to lean on Marshawn Lynch.

It's hilarious to hear Smith say the 12's would not have any effect at a neutral location, and that therefore, this would be an "away game" for Seattle. Hilariously wrong. Thanks for posting!

I like how they avoid the beat down we put on the Giants in that very stadium a few weeks prior. That was a real road game in that stadium.

True, though I think he was moreso saying the secondary would slow down, but not stop the receivers. He also didn't seem to think the Seahawks would get a pass rush. I'm not knocking him for it. Just making the point that predictions can be right for the wrong reasons and they can also be wrong for the right reasons. But to be self-righteous and browbeat people who disagree with the predictions?????

What is "egg on your phase"?

Regarding Stephen A. and Skip, those two are the biggest blowhards on tv and are nothing more than shcck jock sports commentators. Stephen A. screams and is loud while Skip just says stupid stuff backed by zero logic, stats or research.

I think my favorite part was when they asked him if Seattle is a better team at home and he answered "of course" and added that he's never won in Seattle and he thinks that he's 0-5 in Seattle

May b hukt on fonix wurkt fer him?

Stephen A Smith had the same talking point, over and over. How the Broncos had all these weapons in the Thomas players, Welker, Decker and Moreno out the backfield. He repeated this line over and over and over. He should have said he was "Punked" after the loss, just like he said the Broncos were.

He was funny with his claims that he hadn't made up his mind but would continually downgrade the Seahawks ability to control or stay up with the Broncos. I never want him or Bayless on my team's bandwagon. It is a kiss of death.

That's it!!! You're now officially a "part-time bandwagon fan" as per the rules of Seahawks Fandom. If you don't berate every single person who didn't predict a Seattle blowout, then you aren't a true fan. Sorry, leave your Largent jersey at the door on your way out.

He went on and on about how wrong he was. Every time he said the Broncos were punked, he was emphasizing how wrong he was. Does it make you feel better to keep bashing the same talking point, over and over?

Imthescientist and now Madsweeny? Trolls flocking from FBG for some reason?
