This has to be hands down, one of the worst SB's I have ever seen. Utterly terrible, IMO. Congrats to TB....they earned it...NOT. I call it an extreme case of luck. The Eagles are a damn better team...and so are the Raiders.

Both QBs looked shaky, but TBs pass D was outstanding today. No running game for the Raiders bud...sorry, but too much air time killed their chances. Not a lot of excitement, unless of course you're down near Tampa, lol. Q

I hate to say it. But, TB deserved to win this game. The Raiders didn't even bother to show up until midway through the 3rd quater. A very disappointing game. I wouldn't have minded TB winning if it had at least been a real competition.

Raiders didn't show up and their decision making was awful. Tampa Bay deserved to win. However as Superbowls go this was really boring. The Matrix and Terminator sequel previews were the best part of it.

First, I owe a hello to Kurch; thanks for your support re my affirmative action post. If you aren't already a member, I think you will especially enjoy our MSN group because of its political content 😉
Secondly, I too was appalled at the hideous play of the Radiers, the wacky refereeing, and the crowd's lack of support for a California team.
I feel bad for those folks who paid for a ticket to see what turned out to be the Stupor Bowl. What a disappointment. 🙁

I wished it was a more exciting game but I was dancing at my place as Tampa won me money and I was surrounded by Raider fans. Woo hoo!
I wore my Mike Alstott shirt after the Bears miserable season ended. I'm all about defense and the Bucs were a terror tonight.
Now what to do with all this money I won. 🙂

You are quite welcome MistressValerie. I belong to one of your groups but I think you have a couple. Perhaps you could list them for me if its not too much trouble.
I didn't watch most of it, but I saw the end. My friend, towards the end, when the Raiders were 13 points down, with a little more than 2 minutes left, kept saying,"They can come back. They can come back."
Then the Bucs gets that interception, I was dying. "Is it over now?" I asked him. Then they get another one.

HOW SWEET IT IS!!!!!!!!!! did you see the CHOKELAND TRAITORS get their a$$es kicked by the Buccaneers? how beautiful was it watching them get destroyed? i ENJOYED this SuperBowl. ANY team that decides to leave Los Angeles, AND talks trash deserves this cruel fate. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
now that i got that out, about the game. i love dominating performances, escpecially if i am cheering for the team that is dominating. i kept hearing how great the Raider offense was. REALITY CHECK. the Raiders had a good offense, BUT it really wasnt that great. they are OLD, and their O-line is FAT. Raider fans kept saying that this was the best offense in the league. statistically they were, but they were nowhere near the Rams offense the last few years. the Rams had an offense that was young and fast. the Raiders do not. Rich Gannon has ONE good year and he is MVP?? there is a reason Gannon has played for FOUR teams. he is okay, but he really isnt that good. the Raiders didnt face a fast, powerful defense all year. their offense was OVERRATED. i knew that coming in. remember, the Bucs defense was able to slow down those prolific Ram offenses. what the hell were the old Raiders going to do? the speed of the Bucs defense showed tonight by picking off 5 balls and returning 3 for TD's. beautiful, ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
did you notice the look on Jerry Rice's face? he's never been on the losing end of a Superbowl before. that must have been a complete shock. Tim Brown must be pissed off. 1 catch. he finally gets to the Superbowl and he gets 1 catch. Rich Gannon? he throws 5 INT's, a Superbowl record. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
the only sad thing is, Keyshawn Johnson gets a ring. DAMN DAMN DAMN. my dislike for Keyshawn goes DEEP. it goes back to high school, college and when i actually met the guy in person. he was a complete a$$ when i met him, so i wish nothing but a difficult NFL career for him. but now he has a ring. DAMN. this day wasnt completely satisfying.
as for John "Chucky" Gruden. congrats. all those Raider fans forgot one thing. Chucky knows them and can prepare for them. guess it came back to haunt them......
congrats Bucs. i know a friend of mine must be dancing in the streets. i remember back in college how he would agonize year in, year out about the Bucs misfortune. he must be on cloud 9 right now.
you people didnt find this game interesting? it was great......

I have to say that although I was rooting for the Raiders (at least until the Bucs killed any chance of a comeback), I congratulate Tampa Bay. The Bucs showed why their defense is #1 in the league, and it's a good win for them, what with all the failures they've had over the years. Yes, the Raiders should've done better, but I thought it was a good (if not suspenseful) game. 🙂

The Bucs did play a good game. The Raiders just didn't have it tonight. Although in the 3rd quarter they got a few points in at least the Bucs didn't shunk them!🙄
I'm happy for the Bucs. If my team can't be in it, then I like seeing a team who has never won it before become champion. Congratulations to
Tampa Bay.
When the hell are all these teams going to learn , never stop playing until the clock runs out? Tampa tried running the clock out and it almost came back to bite them in the ass! Why!?, Why!? Why don't these people ever learn and I hate when teams cry "They were piling up points". If the other team tells me they are going to stop trying to score or stop trying to win, THEN I would stop trying to score, until then, suck it up. Look at the Houston/Buffalo game years ago. Look at the NY Giants/San Francisco game.
WHEW!!!! Thanx😀

Being a Bears fan, I've seen a lot of Tampa games through the years and watched that defense get better and better when Tony first started making them into something.
They came from a black and blue division and I had to cheer them on and man they made the Superbowl fun for me.
Sorry but the Bucs earned this Superbowl, not their fault that Philly and the Raiders didn't want it bad enough.
Remember, my team (Bears) stayed at home, so they didn't want anything early in the season.

Well, I myself am not a big football girl, however... I was raised to h-a-t-e the Raiders. So I cared about this one. I've been to a Raiders/Chargers game before, and the Raider fans were just awful and violent. I wasa sophomore in high school, and I went with my friend, her sister and her mom. We were terrified the whole time because of all the trashing and fights, and when we (Chargers) won, they threw beer bottles at our car. These huge guys, beating up on a car full f women, and none of us is over 5'5". My friend and I were actually ducking down in the back seat, afraid they might pull a gun or something. So yeah. Any game the Raiders lose is an excellent game in my book. As for the Superbowl, San Diego was exploding with people. You couldn't hang out downtown unless you were willing to pay up to 40 dollars for parking. And my sweet little island was swamped with people crowding to see the fireworks over the city skyline (which was mighty impressive). I love the Dixie Chicks and Gwen Stefani and all that, and I had a bunch of friends dancing in the pre-game and half-time shows, so that was cool. All I know about football is that a blitz involves a whole buncha dudes running... and us gaining yards is good... right? Mwah!

I didn't watch much of it, because I got into a fight with my wife that ended up with me going food shopping by myself while she stayed home to watch the game. No biggie. All I needed to see was the final score. I enjoyed the last half-hour I DID watch, though. I got a little nervous when Oakland started catching up, but then I saw the sloppy passes they were making, as well as....YOINK!...the last two interceptions that I caught in the final two minutes. What I saw was brutal enough to keep me entertained in the little broken half-hour that I watched. I promised myself I wouldn't show an interest in football until Tampa Bay made it to the Super Bowl. Maybe next year I should start watching...

Hi, Kurch; my two main groups are listed in my sig at the bottom of my posts, but as nobody else lists more than two, I didn't want to either. My third group, which has only a small amount of tickling, is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wildcatvalerie2 (but it has one sizzling F/F tickle video clip 🙂 )
Hi, also, Ticklish Faerie; as to the Raider fans sometimes going crazy, unfortunately that is true, as they proved again this year 🙁 I lived just outside of Oakland for a while and I personally had no problems there, but things have probably changed a bit since then.
I happen to be a big fan of the Chargers too, but they have had a bad time of it for several years. Whenever I visited San Diego, I always found it to be a lovely place with lovely people, and I will always have great affection for it.
Love to all,

Krokus...
Doesn't know a lot about football does he? Oh well...
Since I'm not asking either team for a tryout I guess I can post publicly, I picked TB 41 to 20. Guess I wasn't far off. The Bucs have WAY too much team speed on the Defensive side of the ball. Team speed isn't a matter of who can outrun who. It's matter of how fast you can get a lot of players around the ball, and hold the 5 yard gains to 2 yards. TB has consistantly done it all year. Also the Raiders DO have a great offense, in fact one of the best ever. Fact is a great defense will always beat a great offense. This has held true since football began. I'm a defensive player and spent the better part of the last 12 weeks watching films and videos of the various NFL teams. And TB is no fluke. They have an outstanding defense, led by maybe the most disruptive defensive lines ever. Throw in an extremely fast secondary and aggressive linebackers and you have maybe the best defense of modern times. They proved that time and again in the stretch run. Those of us who have actually played the game (and I don't mean on the piss ant high school level) rate the TB Defense even above the outstanding Ravens defense of a few years back, the reason being the line is far superior to that of the Ravens.
Gruden once again proved he's the best at getting a team ready for game day and outside of the defense was the deciding factor in the game. He had the Raiders confused and for some reason the Silver and Black did themselves no favors by deciding to challenge the Bucs deep. (I actually figured they'd try it, the Bucs defensive weakness is deep over the middle, I just couldn't believe the Raiders would try it so often). By challenging the Bucs deep they hurt themselves because the Raiders don't have the fastest receiving corp, and it also plays into the Bucs strength, ie their defensive line. The Raiders would have been better served using the same strategy as they used against the Steelers. Take the short outs and slants, rely on their experience, then pop the big one. They might have been better off with Ty Wheatly in the game. The bucs speed neutralizes Garner anyways, and Wheatly is a big powerful guy, who believe it or not is actually the Raiders fastest back (Big Ten Sprint Champion, twice) It's all history now 🙂
