The Denver Broncos embarrassed themselves tonight. Seattle's defense, at least in this game, was simply dominating, from the very first play to the last play of the game. Congratulations Seahawks, a great team and an extraordinary great win. Seattle gave Denver the 3rd worst defeat in the history of the Super Bowl. Many people were looking forward to a good game, from the best offense facing the best defense - it never developed. - Millet

Yes it looked like Denver didn't show up. The Seahawks played very good. Denver never got going. I hate it for Payton.

On a similar but different note. Our local newspaper writer wrote that people are now using the term "thug" as a substitute for the "n" word. The writer was quoting the Seahawks corner that went on a rant in the semi finals when they beat San Francisco.

A thug is usually defined as a common criminal that hurts people , often for money. Almost synonymous as "punk" to me. If the shoe fits......white or black. Tom

Very sorry Bob. It's a great achievement to get to the Super Bowl. That game is a very odd one and sometimes things go the other way quickly. It was a great season for your team and I hope you're not feeling too pained by last night. When my Pats went undefeated and lost in the end game it was almost like someone died for a lot of us NE fans in the following days.

I really liked reading about how Peyton promised to come back and give an autograph to one fan. Very classy guy to represent a good footfall organization. I hope your team makes it back to the big game next year (that is, unless the Pats can do it).

Manning should retire.

Manning has said if his health holds out, he plans on playing probably for two more years. I believe it, as the Broncos pay him $20,000,000.00 per year. - Millet

This years Super Bowl contested the seasons #1 offense team against the seasons #1 defensive team. Over the 48 years the Super Bowl has been played, the same scenario has occurred 5 times. Of these 5 games, the defensive team won 4 of the 5 games. - Millet

I was mostly surprised by how much the defense was able to get to Manning. I thought that offensive line would hold up better.

Have you heard about Houson's Mattress Mac losing $7million on the game? He had a promotion going about buying furniture. If Seattle won you got it for free. Lots of free furniture! I saw the ads in the Houston Chronicle.
