Super Bowl XLVII: Baltimore Ravens vs San Francisco 49ers

[WALDO]

Super Bowl XLVII will take place on February 3, 2013. It will be the Baltimore Ravens against the San Francisco 49ers. It is going to be at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana and CBS has the rights to broadcast the game on TV this year. There are plenty of interesting storylines to talk about and lots of debates to be had on who will win the big game. So let's start discussing about who you will be rooting for and all that jazz of this year's NFL Super Bowl. Also make sure to vote in the poll on who do you think is going to win Super Bowl XLVII.

Final Score: Baltimore Ravens 34, San Francisco 49ers 31.

Rooting for the 49ers cause I don't like Ray Lewis.

[dorkdotdan]

Rooting for Baltimore because they have less Lombardi trophies.

You know i have a slight feeling the Ravens will win.

but ok lets give him a super bowl ring anyway
yeah sure he's a great player and doesn't afraid of anything but that's kinda BS.
if you're involved in any kind of felony at all, you should just be barred from the NFL, but the NFL cares too much about money and publicity to do that.

[Mega-Bear]

Let's go Ravens own the plebs

are you daft?

Lewis, in his subsequent testimony, says he tried to stop the fight. Other witnesses will say they saw Lewis throw a punch, though none saw him wielding a knife. (Georgia law dictates that “any party who did not directly commit the crime may be convicted for the commission of the crime upon proof that the crime was committed and that he was a party thereto, despite the outcome of the one who directly committed the crime.”) Only one witness — an admitted con man who is later imprisoned — will say he saw Lewis actively involved in the fight.

then stop and re-read the Georgia law, which in literal terms, means "even if you didn't do the crime you're going to be convicted of it".  further:

May 30, 2000 — On Day 5, no witnesses for the prosecution identify Lewis in the brawl.

even further: he went through 1 year of probation and was fined $250k, the largest for any NFL player not involving substance abuse.  If you ever listen to any of his talks/seminars/speeches, he'll say the same thing: "being in jail changed my life", and in the time since he has started many charity foundations.  so yeah he's totally in it for publicity and money.

I said the NFL, not exclusively him.
But okay, fair enough.

There needs to be a poll OP, can you add one

I added a poll to the OP, vote guys.

[TheChaosCarrier]

As far as the poll goes, I don't know who to go for.
Both teams have done fantastic jobs this season. I just wish the Falcons stayed in yesterday.

But it seems Crabtree carried the 49ers late that game.
