You can't keep coming from that far behind week after week.
It'll take me a few weeks to get over it, but I'm still forever Scarlet & Gold.

Oh, believe me, I understand fully on the "can't keep coming from that far behind" part. The Cowboys kept trying to do that all season. Sometimes it worked. Just as often it didn't.

A Superbowl Game For The Ages will Always Be Marred by the Ray Lewis "death" scandal. It looks like Ray beats a Murder 2 conviction, due to his fame and an excellent lawyer. 2 men are still dead from that fight that Ray was a part of, and their ghosts cry for Justice, still after all these years. And Ray gets a spot in the Hall Of Fame. I hope on his death bed that he will finally fess up. This is a million times more evil than the New York Mets getting their last no-hitter, in spite of the cleanly hit single. I am ashamed TO BE A METS FAN!!!!!!!

Well, my pick won...but I was getting worried in that 2nd half. That after playing so well in the 1st that Ravens would give it away. And by the end I felt like the 49ers should have been able to get a red zone TD with 4 tries...but the Ravens held them off.
But evidently that voodoo from the bayou San Francisco evidently set up to make the power go out and change the momentum when they were really on the ropes didn't work. "Superdome outage occurred when sensing equipment detected an "abnormality", officials say...sure.

But sure came down to the wire...and the Ravens winning via the use of giving a safety, cool.

I just had enough of the "Look at me, I'm such a holy guy" schtick a long time ago.

A Christian doesn't help get his guilty friends acquitted and pay off the family in civil court.

When I earlier joked about rappers who rap about ho's and violence thanking Jesus if they win an award, I hadn't been aware of Lewis being mixed up in a double murder case years ago.

So yeah that definitely takes the cake...the guy who goes on about God and Jesus being one of the two things you said really. Was a matter of a certain suit or coat Lewis wore the night in question which happened to never be found, for example. Suspected to have had blood on it. Was blood in his limo too. And so on.

Seems some time before the game CBS asked Lewis about that case and what he'd say to the families...

CBS: "What would you like to say to the family?"

LEWIS: "It's simple: God has never made a mistake. That's just who he is, you see. If our system — and this is the sad thing about our system — if our system took the time to really investigate what happened 13 years ago, maybe they would have gotten to the bottom line. But the saddest thing ever is a man looked me in my face and told me, 'We know you didn't do this, but you're going down for it anyway.' To the family: If you knew, if you really knew the way God works, he don't use people who commits anything like that for his glory. No way. It's the total opposite."

On the subject of Beyonce, she can shake her hips all she wants, but her music is still unremarkable stuff.

She's still overrated. I don't get the acclaim she gets...

But then, so much current music is so eh...

Another thing that I question is how does a 37 year old come back from a torn triceps in only a couple months when a much younger player (usually a faster healer) goes on IR for the same injury before the season even starts? And I'm not the only one that wonders about this: http://grantland.com/story/_/id/...k-ped-question

I can't remember the last time we held a decent opponent below 20 points. I think it was the Bears. Regardless, just a real shame because it felt like we had a chance but killed ourselves in the end instead of having it being taken away from us. Some 49ers fans were complaining about the officiating, but I'm more mad at Harbaugh. It should have never come down to that defensive hold on Crabtree.

I mentioned earlier that Kwame Harris might be waiting for Culliver when the team bus gets in from the airport. After that performance tonight, there might be a few more people waiting for the bus to pull in so they can beat his ass. I swear Flacco was looking to see which receiver he was lining up on and then going in that direction.

Yes...Culliver's play went from ridiculously good earlier this season to ridiculously inconsistent later in the season. The entire defense just faltered and wasn't the same in the playoffs. I'm wondering if Fangio is being too predictable and/or we're getting bit in the behind with regards to always having the same guys on the field. That takes it's toll as the season wares on.

By the way I just want to say that Randy Moss' talk of being the greatest receiver of all time is garbage. He alligator armed that pass from Kaepernick that resulted in an interception. I thought he would provide a spark this season, but it was clear that he was washed up. He didn't make any down the field plays even when he had some opportunities and more when Kaepernick was the starter. I don't want him back. Hopefully Manningham and Williams recover. I have my doubts about Jenkins.

And for the love of God WHY don't we EVER throw to Vernon Davis in the redzone? I'll never understand this from Roman.

Blah. Hopefully San Francisco can get to another one in the next three to five years. Unfortunately Gore probably won't be with the team at that point. Weird. I feel like his Hall of Fame chances went down the drain with that loss.

Don't forget he got like 6 kids from 4 different baby mama's. Wonder how Jesus would feel about that?

But that safety at the end was just bad television. Even the players seemed confused. While it might have been good strategy to run out the clock, it still looked stupid.

Also, if the punt went out of bounds, with those two points, that might have left enough time to tie with a field goal.
